Booked this as part of a package with Thomas Cook. This hotel is not that near the beach though to get to the beach you get to walk through Old Town Salou which is kind of nice. You can catch a bus but it only takes about fifteen minutes by feet - granted possibly longer if you have small children. Oh and if you're wanting to go to the club district, definitely take a taxi as you have to walk practically the whole beach to reach it.
The hotel is lovely and air conditioned with gorgeous rooms (tile floors) and huge beds. The bathrooms are all state of the art and lovely with baths.
The pool is nice but can get a bit crowded with young children splashing about, also the lifeguard tends to watch you a bit too much - probably gets bored sitting round all day. There are hardly any sun loungers ever free and if you want a spot in the sun - run. Theres a kiddies pool in a wierd leafy corner too. The inside of the hotel has a bar area and restaurant. The food in the restaurant is lovely - especially the chips and bbq sauce that comes with it, though make sure you try the otehr food, especially the speciality pan on the left hand side of the serving area.
Entertainment is ok, not the best, there's good games for children though the children tend to go a bit wild and fight among themselves. The bar staff are friendly and will appear pretty much straight away with your drinks once you've ordered them.
My one complaint - the staff can be a bit unhelpful, though the retaurant staff are really friendly. read more
