  : Good location about 10 min walk from Salou centre with local bars, shops and supermarkets within a few min walk. Is up a hill, not too steep but long, so could be difficult for some. Very near bus stops for local towns Reus, Cambrils, La Pineda, Tarragona and both Reus and Barcelona Airports 2 bedroom apartment was very clean, and had lots of space and storage. Shower gel and plenty of towels (changed daily if required). Enough utensils in kitchen to make basic meals, combi microwave (but no instruction how to use), big fridge /freezer, kettle, toaster ( bread goes on the outside of the toaster which was definitely different but worked well!), washing up liquid and pot scourer sponge. View from our 5 floor room balcony was amazing. Could have sat their all day as there was a table and chairs plus 2 really comfy sun loungers. Lots of fast lifts including one for those with disabilities.Staff were friendly and helpful. Pool area was small but sufficient. Very clean. (Bigger terrace area away from pool if you wanted quieter area) Different sunbeds for lying down and chair type for sitting up. Mats for them kept in box at the side. Children's playpark and large artificial grass area where wee ones could run about freely and safely, and not bother anyoneGym clean and well equipped for a holiday exercise session.Food at breakfast was lovely, lots of choice from continental meats, cheeses, fruit, yoghurts, cooked breakfast, pancakes, omelettes, breads and pastries.Great book swap library with books sorted into different languages.
  : Need better sun parasols at pool. All were broken and wouldn't stay open so very little shade. Not allowed to take drinks in glass out of bar area even to your room, had to take in a plastic cup.Breakfast time was 8-10am but they would not facilitate an early breakfast at 7.50am on our day of departure when we were getting picked up at 8am.No safe in room but security vault in reception was safe but just a bit inconvenient.No day time activities or evening entertainment but in Salou it's absolutely fine to go into lots of other hotels to use their pool or join activities and watch entertainment as long as you buy a drink from their bar. (We went to 4R Play Park across the road and Best Oasis 5 mins walk away).

Pleasant

  : The location was really good, close to restaurants, the beach, etc.
  : I felt as if my room wasnt really clean. I found a pair of rolled up socks and a beach ball underneath the bed. And when I walked on my floor, there was dirt, etc. on my socks.

  : Room was bright, large in size with an equally large balcony equipped with sun loungers and table and chairs. Good kitchen area( not used) and large shower room with separate toilet room.Food( breakfast and dinner buffet) whilst not outstanding was more than adequate and for the price paid was very good.Located on top of a hill giving great views from the balcony and a short walk down flights of steps to a small pleasant beach.Children and myself enjoyed the uncrowded pool- which is very deep at one end- although at busier times it might prove to be crowded as it isn't by any means the biggest. I was there end of August 2023 after English bank holiday and this was not the case.In a quieter area of Salou but still an easy walk to the main strip and front. Bus stops just around the corner and own parking underneath the apartment building.Having stopped there after a stay in a far more expensive hotel in the town and another set of apartments I and my the children were very pleased with the food and accommodation provided and would definitely stay there again of the three.
  : An older building which could do with some modification and the shower tray in the room was distorted causing water to leak onto the floor.This did not really affect my enjoyment of the stay and I did not expect luxury at their keen price point.
