Hotel terbaik di Salou

We were a bit aprehensive about holidaying here after reading all the mixed reviews. It was a last minute deal at this 3* Hotel. It's 20 minutes from the airport and that was on a coach transfer. The welcome from the Reception Staff was very warm and efficient. The lifts were both working whilst we were there but they were both a bit slow in arriving. We were only on the 3rd floor so we did walk up and down most days. The room had 2 double beds and was very clean. The room was cleaned everyday and we were given fresh towels. The meals were of a good standard and there was always a large variety to choose from. We did hear people complain about the food,but really couldn't understand why as we never found anything wrong. At breakfast the chef was on hand to make omlettes and cook fresh eggs. There were cereals,fruit juice,full cooked breakfast, cheeses, meats,breads,croissants etc. At lunchtime they would cook burgers,steak or sausage and of an evening they would cook steak and chicken. There was always a pasta dish, chips, salad, fresh cooked baguettes and a selection of cooked meats. (See photos) The pool was absolutely freezing but perhaps that was just due to it being October. The entertainment staff were coming to the end of their season but still did a great job. Simon was really friendly and took time out during the day to sit and chat with people. The Jet 2 Rep Phillip was brilliant and very knowledgeable on the area. He gave us plenty of tips even though we didn't book any trips with him. The bar staff were brilliant. Juan was so friendly and went out of his way to help people who wanted to improve their Spanish. He made such an effort with his Fancy Dress costumes all week as they were celebrating Halloween. If you like wine the ones they serve are of a good quality . The rooftop bar was closed due to it being so.late in the eason,but both the jacuzzis were on and the sunbeds,chairs and tables were out for use. The views from the rooftop terrace are beautiful. The terrace itself looked like it had recently been updated . I liked the fact that the pool area didn't open until 10am as that stopped people putting towels on the sunbeds then going out for the day. There were plenty of sunbeds out and several more stacked at the side if needed. We never struggled to get a sunbed in the sun. The temperatures were up to 27° some days and that was mid October. There are a couple of beaches within walking distance and the main town is a 10 minute walk which you can do along the shore line walkway. We wouldn't hesitate to return and would describe the hotel as being top end of its 3 stars.

Dit is nou echt een geweldig en eenvoudig hotel. Een mooi strand met boulevard vlak voor de deur. Gelegen in een rustige buurt. Voor vertier 2 km lopen. Met zelfs een parkeergarage waar je met enig geluk je auto kan stallen. Met mooie nieuwe kamers met lekkere bedden. Zeezicht is geweldig. Met een zeldzaam team van erg kundige, aardige en nette mensen. Het lekkere eten is afgestemd op de 95 % Spaanse gasten dus veel vis. Honden zijn er ook welkom. Enige minpuntje is de verhuur van vieze ligbedden op het strand door een onfatsoenlijk figuur. Heb na een dag zelf maar een ligbed aangeschaft of je gaat 100 meter verder bij een andere verhuurder. Jammer ook dat er op het terras geen niet rokers gedeelte is, maar misschien wordt dat ook dit jaar nog aangepast met de verbouwing.

Todo perfecto, la estancia, la amabilidad del personal, la limpieza. Tanto la cena como el desayuno excelente, mucha variedad y muy bueno. Es la segunda vez que venimos y repetiremos en el futuro.

After reading some of the previous reviews I was a bit apprehensive about our holiday to Hotel PortAventura but there was absolutely no need to be. The hotel was spotlessly clean and all the staff were really friendly. The main concerns I had read were in relation to the queues for the restaurant. You do have to queue but only to be allowed access at your booked time. When you first arrive at the hotel, the reception staff make you aware of a QR code which you scan which gives you access to book your time slots for breakfast and dinner. It was really simple and you could change the time slot anytime you wanted (subject to their being availability at the time you want). Upon arriving at your time, you did queue a little but only to enable a dedicated member of staff to be able to show you to your table. There were loads of food options available and we ate really well throughout our stay. We had booked full board so we also had vouchers for lunch which can be used either in the theme park or the water park. The entrance to the theme park is right inside the hotel and you and come and go as much as you want. We also spent some time at Ferrari Land and a day at the water park. Tickets for the water park and express passes can be booked from a self service machine in reception. At the end of the night the theme park has a parade and firework show which I would highly recommend - it was ace. The hotel is about a 20 minute walk from the nearest supermarket and I would recommend paying a visit so that you can stock up on water. The hotel don't let you fill water bottles from the machines in the restaurant which was a little odd and there didn't appear anywhere else to be able to get free water from. There are water fountains inside the theme park but they are luke warm at best. The beach at Salou was really nice and we hired sunbeds (7.50 euros each) and a parasol (8.50 euros each) for the day. The pool at the hotel was lovely and plenty of lifeguards on duty. The pool bar/cafe served drinks/snacks but they were very expensive and the service was somewhat chaotic. You are also required to pay 1 euro for a plastic cup but you can return them and get your money back (or bring some home as a memento which is what we did !!). We were really lucky with the room we were allocated as it was on the ground floor and the patio doors opened up straight onto the pool area so was really convenient for popping in and out. There were no sunbed wars at the hotel and we only saw a couple of families putting out towels early in the morning. There was plenty of space available for everyone. All in all it was a fantastic family holiday (2 children aged 14 and 12) as there was just so much to do and something for everyone.

Designed/appointed much like the Disney version of an American lodge (in Colorado), the decor was a little cheesy, but the rooms and common areas were very clean, well maintained and spacious. Hot water, good water pressure, decent wifi, comfy beds, good AC... a good experience all around. Staff were generally helpful and friendly. Pool was clean and well maintained. Lifeguards had some kind of weird rule about not wearing sunglasses in the pool, but hey - your pool your rules. Food was decent. The park is a short 10-ish minute walk away, so very easily accessible. Entrance is included in the room rate. The park itself was packed with very long lines, so be prepared for that - but that's really a comment on the park, not the hotel, right? In short, a lovely experience at a fun little ”American” style hotel in the heart of Tarragona.

As a family of 4 we stayed at ibersol apartments salou because it was cheap, open in February and near portaventura parks, u really get what u pay for here so if ur fussy do not book this hotel ,cheap accomadation, very basic, old and run down inside, dont undrstand why guests have to pay a 100 deposit as the rooms are already in a bad state,i have stayed in much better places and never had to give a deposit. I took pictures of repairs needed to show reception staff what the room was like when we entered it ,they too did not understand why guests were asked to pay 100 deposit either as apartments are already in need of such repair,shower door even fell off while using the shower, home over 2 weeks now and have not received our deposit back,i will make an enquiry today, double bed was so hard i cant describe it,my back was in bits. Seems like some of the apartments have full time resisdents,alot of men seem to reside here, coming and going all times of day and night.i would not come back here but i did know what to expext as i had read alot of reviews similar to mine before i booked and as it was so cheap we decided to stay.Despite all this great heating system,apartments were nice n warm which is needed in february. Reception staff very friendly and helpful, they should recieve praise from managment for this.

El hotel está genial, tiene un hall muy chulo y moderno. El personal de recepción super amables y atentos. No tanto las camareras que atienden en el bufet a la hora del desayuno que fue lo único que consumimos allí. Las habitaciones necesitan una reformita, se nota que una parte del hotel está reformada pero el resto no, aún así está genial todo. Las camas cómodas. Por poner alguna pega la iluminación de la habitación es un poco escasa sobre todo en el baño y el que no tengan ningun espejo en la habitación excepto el del baño. El desayuno es bufet y está muy bien. Tienen de todo. Estupenda piscina en el ático del hotel. Abierta en verano y climatizada en invierno. Repetiría la estancia.
