The rooms are also a bit bigger then the other buildings. Since we were 3 people that was perfect. A great thing about the hotel is that they have high speed free wifi internet in the rooms, breakfast area, and the hotel beach. Entrance to the PortAdventura park is included, that also goes for Express access to the parks attractions. That is a must if you visit in peak periods like the summer. The food was ok, but not great. There are not other options close by then the hotel restaurant. There is a shuttle train that take you from the hotel to the park every 15 minutes. The watermark and teampark are accessible from the same area All in all highly recommended.

Overall I really enjoyed staying here. The staff were amazing and very attentive. The food was…read morevery good, and the hotel itself with the surrounding amenities were lovely. They have a nice pool with a bar, a shaded deck area, and a nice indoor air conditioned bar area as well. Now I can't give them five stars because there were a few issues. First, the pool bar was only open when they had someone to work it. So some days it was open, other hot sunny days it was closed. The food was good, but quite dear and they only had the three places to eat. We stayed here for five days which I must say was way too long. Even the staff seemed surprised when I explained to them how long we were staying. We saw the entire park in two days (could have done it in one), and then spent two days at the water park (not included in the price so this is another expensive cost not factored in originally) and then a day out in the surrounding area. The other issue I had was like Disney they have a few hotels here all in the same area. However you cannot go to them. They are very strict on this. We wanted after sampling the three restaurants in our hotel to check out the food in the hotel next door, and they refused to even allow us in. I thought that was very odd, we just wanted to try out the other kitchens. Overall we did enjoy our stay but we also quickly found out you could stay in other resorts not part of the park for much less that offered many more options, especially around dinner which we discovered the last day there. We will be back, but we may only stay here a day, two at most, and then will go to the other resorts in Salou and eat out at many of the local restaurants which cater to tourists and families.

Hotel El Paso is part of the PortAventura resort. Although it isn't actually inside the gates of…read morethe theme park, it is a short 5-10 minute walk to the entrance. We stayed for two weeks, on a package holiday arranged through Thomas Cook. We stayed full board all inclusive which included unlimited theme park access. Reception and welcome On arrival at around midday there was a long queue of guests waiting to check in, and the check-in desk had three members of staff working through the guests. We had to wait 20 minutes to get to the head of the queue, and once there we were given information about the theme park, basic information regarding the hotel and facilities, a couple of maps, and our room keys. We were asked to nominate a preferred time for arriving to breakfast each day. This is a daft question to ask as of course it depends on what you plan to be doing each day, but nonetheless you have to make a choice. We chose 9.30 and then were given "tickets" which allowed us access to breakfast in half hour windows ranging between 8 am and 10 am, and mostly not 9.30, as we were told the hotel is very busy and all the 9.30 allocation had been taken. We were informed that our room was not available to access and will be available by 3pm. The receptionist took my mobile number and said they would send a text when the room is ready, or return back to reception at 3pm if we haven't heard. This was all disappointing as we had a very early start that day. We were then invited to take our luggage to a luggage room where it will be kept for us, and could be collected (by us) when our room is ready. So no concierge/bellhop to deliver our luggage to our rooms then. If you choose to use this facility do check to ensure your insurance will cover any losses. (see http://www.dailymail.co.uk/travel/travel_news/article-3688180/Do-leave-bags-hotel-reception-checking-luggage-stolen-left-pocket-insurers.html) Pool and entertainment The large pool area is excellent. No shortage of sun beds although there is the usual scramble to get towels on beds in the morning. We never failed to find somewhere to lie though. There are some fixes areas with shade cover but no moveable parasols. Shade is limited. The main pool is 1.4 metres at the deepest. The kids pool is very shallow and includes a "galleon" play area with water jets that the kids can use to irritate other kids with. Keeps them occupied for hours. There is also a round jacuzzi pool although the jets are not very powerful. The temperature of all the pools were perfect during the 2 weeks we were there in August. The pool area has a variety of grass, concrete, AstroTurf and sandy areas. The sand is really unpleasant though, it's coarse and hurts your feet, it also gets really hot in the midday sun. A lot of sand seems to end up in the pools too. Stay away from the sandy areas if you can. There are several lifeguards keeping an eye on the pool at all times. They are vigilant, some may say over vigilant, love blowing their whistles for every tiny infringement. Some banned behaviours include: somersault diving, wearing sunglasses in the pool, standing on some of the edges, not climbing on the galleon. It's actually reassuring to know someone is keeping an eye on the kids but I know some people got frustrated with the semi fascist lifeguards. As well as the pool there is a games area with a pool table (2 euros per game) ping pong table, a couple of air hockey tables and minifoot/table football. There is also an area for beach volleyball and a small sandy football pitch. Inside the main reception/bar area there are some pay-per-play xboxes available. Food and drink A self service buffet restaurant provides breakfast, lunch and dinner. Breakfast consists of cold meats, cheese, bread, jam, and pastries, as well as hold food - mini hotdogs, two types of sausages, fried eggs, scrabbled eggs, beans, bacon, pancakes plus various syrups. Fruit and cereals are also available. And chips!!! For dinner there is a variety of hot and cold options. The food quality could have been better, and got pretty repetitive after two weeks. For kids there was always pizza, pasta and hot dogs available. And chips of course. But you don't want to be eating that stuff every meal. The best part of dinner are the desserts, lots of mini desserts such as mouses, pastries, brownies, plus icecream, fresh fruit, yoghurt, an We didn't eat lunch in the buffet restaurant but we did take a look in and it looked pretty similar to what was on offer at dinner time.

My wife and I stayed here for 10 nights in October 2015 along with a group of 9 other golfing…read morecouples. All of us are of a certain greying age! The hotel was excellent. Its positive features include its position across the road from the excellent Salou beach. You walk out the door, across the road and onto the promenade. The hotel Blaumar is situated at the quiet end of Salou away from the frankly tacky northern end that is awash with souvenir shops and Irish bars. Salou itself is a fine resort during the off-season. We are of an age that thinks it would be a nightmare during the high season, full of screaming kids and drunken louts. We are of the greying retirement brigade. The hotel was spotlessly clean, from the lobby, to the pool area to the dining room and particularly the bedrooms. The showers in the bathrooms are to die for. Big walk-in shower trays with overhead power spray. I am definitely having one installed at home. The air conditioning worked brilliantly and left the bedroom almost too cold to enter into on even the hottest of the nights. The room safe was secure if a little expensive at €50 for the stay. We were on a half-board deal. There were two main problems with the food in the Blaumar Hotel. There was far too much of it and the variety was too great. We are only human and made of flesh & blood. How are you expected not to overeat? I put on so much weight during those ten days that Ryanair almost asked me to pay an overweight charge on the trip home. Come on Blaumar, get it together and teach us some discipline. The building is not without its faults. The locks on the sliding patio doors in the bedroom would not work and the extractor fan in our bathroom did not function. However a quick mention at the front desk was all that was needed to have the faults rectified inside an hour. Well done Blaumar! The beds were a little too hard for my liking but that is a bit too picky. The free wifi was available everywhere throughout the hotel. However at peak times it was a bit dodgy due to the number of users. Four in the morning saw the network easily available and fast. Perhaps its time for the hotel to increase its bandwidth. The hotel is situated on the main bus route from Cambrils to Tarragona, €15 for a T10 ticket gives a couple commuting rights for two days at least. The train station is a short walk away and about €15 is the cost of a single ticket into Barcelona. I have no hesitation in recommending this hotel and have every intention of staying here again.

Booked this as part of a package with Thomas Cook. This hotel is not that near the beach though to…read moreget 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.
