Camping Playa Montroig

Location : Spain, Costa Dorada, Cambrils (8km).

Time of visit : September 1997 and September 1998.

Description: The camping is located near the beach, with steep access, but once you are on the beach you need your 4WD, most of the camping places have lots of shade. The camping is divided in two by the railway, crossing the railway is done trough a tunnel (down and up). Roads are made of asphalt.

E-mail : info@playamontroig.com , maybe you will get an answer "maņana".

Reception : not accessible unless you have arms with build in turbo, or if you are willing to make a looping, there is a ramp but that ramp is very steep (45%).

Pool with terrace: 100% access, no hydraulic elevator for the pool.

Restaurant, take-away, bar & terrace: 100% access.

Shops, Laundry etc : 100% access.

Bodega : not accessible, located on the 1st floor, no elevator.

Bathroom: private bathroom with key. Equipment is very new looking, toilet is 40 cm high, standing in the corner, with a foldable grip on the right (were your wheelchair is standing) but on the opposite side there only is a fixed vertical grip, there is no horizontal grip, this makes the transfer chair-toilet or vice-versa very tricky. The shower disposes of a foldable sit ( 40-45 cm high), covered with hard plastic strips, there is no opening to wash your.....The shower has double grips, one foldable, and one L-shaped fixed to the wall. The sink has an adjustable mirror. The bathroom has no alarm.

Rem : though we asked several times ( technical service, reception and responsible PR ) during both our visits to put a horizontal grip near the toilet, nothing has been done. We also asked to do something to make the beach somewhat wheelchair friendly, by placing a strip of concrete or so, allowing you to be on the beach near the family. I have sent an e-mail to the director of the camping in January 1999 but until now...no response. So i suppose there still is no horizontal grip.
