Hotel berhampiran El Pirata Viejo, Salou

WOW what a hotel. Absolutely fantastic mid week break away. We went Bed and Breakfast. Room is small but perfect. Beautiful bathroom with toiletries, hairdryer and fluffy towels. Comfy Beds. Opposite the walkway to the main ***** and beach which is only a 5 minute walk away. Did not hear a sound at night, so peaceful. Breakfast was great, something for everyone, freshly squeezed orange juice, smoothies, great variety of teas and coffees. Omlette and pancakes made freshly. Hot food, salads, meats, fruit, cakes and a huge variety of breads. Something for everyone. If you want your full Irish Breakfast plenty of places around, but we didnt feel the need to. Filled us up for the day. Staff were so friendly, even saw a little girl going over to one of the staff members to hug her and say thanks. Rooftop pool is fantastic, lots of beds and deck chairs. Water was a bit cold but it was only April. Still plenty of people in pool. Every Staff member was so friendly and helpful. We will definitely be back

We liked the Playa Park, it has the look of a hotel that has been totally updated. The staff were helpful and friendly, especially the reception and in the restaurant. The rooms were a nice place to be, and the food was excellent ( we were half board) with a really good choice of quality food, and the drinks were quite reasonably priced. In fact we stayed in a 5 star H10 that was nowhere near as good as the 3 star Playa. Though we did not have children with us it does seem to be a very children friendly hotel..There are three close. nice beaches to swim from where the water does not go deep quickly, though there are quite a few steps to get down to them. Also there are loads of local busses that stop outside the hotel, for those looking to get about. We had a high room and actually had quite a good view of the sea and Salou at night. If staying in Salou I would certainly go back to the 4R Playa Park

I arrived at the hotel at 11.20am and wasn’t actually expecting my room to be ready that early, but to my surprise it was. The female receptionist was so kind and friendly. I explained that I was severely sight impaired and she took the time to show me where everything was. She also arranged for another staff member to help me find my room. The room was lovely. Very comfy bed, soft pillows and bathrobes and slippers. The bathroom was huge with two different shower heads and a large Jacuzzi bath. The balcony was also huge with sun beds and lounge chairs. The restaurant and staff were also very friendly and helpful, and there was lots of choice with main. Courses cooked fresh in front of you. There were two outdoor lagoon style pools, with Various water jets, in pool jacuzzi beds, two slides and a separate jacuzzi. The indoor pool was amazing and very unique in its design. There were various different types of jacuzzis, water jets, jacuzzi beds, experience showers, sauna and a steam room. It was brilliant. I also the Spa and had the ‘Queen of Egypt Ritual’ which was truly amazing. I’ve been to many spa’s, but this was a whole new level of fabulous. I would highly recommend this hotel and I will definitely be returning.

The best 4* hotel I've ever stayed in. The whole of the hotel looks like it's had a full re modernisation. Everything very clean, fresh and modern. Booked the cheapest standard room and it was great. View of the beach from balcony, comfy beds, fabulous rain shower with a smaller hand held shower. Air con is excellent. Great idea that your wristband also contains your room access key. Very helpful, hard working staff throughout. Spotlessly clean everywhere thanks to the cleaning team. Food was excellent. Not masses of choice, but very good quality and we always found something we liked. There are usually 2 chefs who will cook food of your choice on the griddle which was very good. The weekly gala dinner was outstanding. Tables were cleared super quick ready for the next guests. Pool area was small but we always found a sunbed and there are toilets and showers. There's also a shaded area when you need a break from the sun! The pool is more suited to adults and not children. There is a lovely bar with different areas of seating practically on the beach! The hotel has a really good evening entertainment programme with live acts, it gets very busy! The hotel is situated in the quite area of La Pineda but there are lots of lovely Spanish bars and restaurants very close by. There are lots of shops and there are bus stops nearby. We caught the bus to Cambrils, Salou and Tarragona. Taxi to Reus airport is approx €30-€33 each way. There is a very flat promenade that goes for miles along the beach at the rear of the hotel. Great for wheelchairs, prams, cycling or just a 10 minute stroll into the busier part of La Pineda. Thank you Hotel Terramarina for a wonderful stay. Can't wait to come back. Amanda

We booked this hotel as just a sleep in a long journey, mostly due to the cost. Boy!!! Were we pleasantly surprised, what a great Find, from the moment we met Xavier, the room was large, clean, comfortable, the bathroom, excellent, clean, even the towels were generous, the bed was comfortable, we could find no fault. If we are ever passing through Tarragona we will stay again. Stunning VFM.

El proceso de check-in fue rápido y fácil. El personal tanto del bar como de la recepción fueron super amables y simpaticos además de profesionales. Siempre atentos para ayudarte y en mi caso me ayudaron con una información extra que necesitaba. Hay parking al aire libre y al lado del hotel hay un restaurante dónde se come de maravilla. Si quieres otras opciones de comida a unos 5min conduciendo tienes más opciones. Tema desayuno continental tiene muchas opciones para elegir tipo tostadas con mantequilla, mermelada, cereales, fruta, yogurt, embutidos, croissants ya sean grandes o pequeños.....También te incluye el café que te lo hacen ellos (que alegria que el café no es como otros hoteles que es tipo café americano) asi que me pedí mi cortado. La limpieza de las habitaciones y areas comunes me pareció buena y tema habitaciones me sorprendieron. La habitación es espaciosa, tienes un montón de opciones para poner tus cosas ya sea armarios, estanterías, etc. Tienes una nevera. La verdad que quedé super contento con la habitación y su distribución. Recomiendo el hotel.

In general the hotel was nice, we arrived and it was quiet. We visited the spa which was nice and the hotel is in a great location (about a 5 minute walk from the beach front) and 25 minutes from the theme park. Food- the food in the restaurant was decent but quite repetitive. However, having said that there was always something to eat. The only downside here at the restaurant was the waiters took a long time to ask us what drinks we wanted, sometimes we would be half way through before being approached. Also, there should be a snack bar by the pool which is open to all inclusive guests however this wasn’t open at all during our stay which was disappointing as we liked to go for walks, so if we missed lunch we had to wait until 7.30 for dinner. Bar - the two male servers were brilliant. Very attentive, friendly and quick. There is a good selection of local spirits however, I was on the all inclusive and when I asked there was only one cocktail available plus sangria, there are more available but you have to pay. The only downside was I had an issue which I raised with reception who maybe through a language barrier didn’t really acknowledge. I have been here before, 8 years ago and the hotel itself has drastically improved. It does feel very spa like with the music and decor. The only issue we had was on our last night there must have been a late arrival and we could hear everything in the corridor and above which meant we couldn’t sleep until 4pm.
