Dear Mike, We really appreciate the time you have dedicated to share your experience at Occidental Atenea Mar hotel. First of all, we strive to keep noise levels within reasonable limits so that our guests are not disturbed by outside traffic, although we can not control the noise at certain times of the day. If we had known, we would have offered an alternative room. On the other hand, we are happy to know you had a nice time at our Pool&Lounge area facing the sea and you also enjoy our varied menu, designed to satisfy the tastes of all our guest. May you decide to come back to Barcelona, we would love to welcome you again. Best regards, Lola Miranda Cuyás Assistant Manager
