Hello everyone! I will tell you friends about the main hotels in the tourist part of the city.
This is not an advertisement! Hotel description is based on publicly available information, tourist reviews and my personal experience.
Salou is located 54 hotels, not considering apartments, most of them have 3 or 4 stars. But it is important to take into account the fact that the level of hotel matching the number of stars is lower than in countries familiar to Russian tourists, such as Turkey, Egypt and others. The level of service in a four-star European hotel approximately corresponds to the standards of three stars in eastern countries, so it is not necessary when choosing Refer to this, much more important is the location and reviews. In addition, I want to draw your attention to 2 trends that relate to nutrition in all hotels of Costa Dorada and are not familiar to our tourists. First, the default drinks are not included in the standard diet, so consider what you will need to pay extra for them in the hotel, where prices are usually overestimated. This does not apply only to the case if you have the "All Inclusive". Secondly, the children's menu in the restaurant is very different from the familiar baby food: there are no dairy pounds, and instead of them on the children's table you will find several types of yogurts, potatoes fries, meat in a grain, pizza and other products from the Fast Fond series. Therefore, I advise parents with babies and children of small age in advance to take mixes and cavalry with themselves, or as an option to buy them in place in the children's nutrition departments. In all major supermarkets there is a fairly wide range: from jars with vegetable and fruit puree to a variety of mixtures. Product quality is impeccable, and in hotels you will surely help cooking and heated nutrition for a child.
On the territory of Salou there are several hotel networks, such as H10, O-HELS, 4R, MEDPLAYA, H-TOP. One of the most popular is the "Best Hotels" network, as their hotels are in great demand due to good service, nutrition and reasonable prices.
So, first of all, I want to tell about two popular hotels, which are very similar to each other and belong to the same network - Best San Francisco and the neighboring Best Los Angeles. They are located in the tourist zone of Salou, on the second line from the sea, a hundred and fifty meters from Capellans bay and two hundred meters from the central beach. In walking distance there are supermarkets, shops, cafes, restaurants and bars.
Hotels have been completely reconstructed in 2015, after which they earned their fourth star. Currently, there are options for two, three and four people. On well-kept territory, an outdoor pool and a hot tub, playground, game club, summer terrace, restaurants, bar, billiards, conference room-in-room storage. Rooms are modern with separate terraces, new furniture, wi-face, air conditioning and equipped bathroom. From technology: satellite TV, telephone, refrigerator, hairdryer, for an additional fee is offered safe. Cleaning daily, cleanliness at the average level. The staff of both hotels is very friendly and friendly, at the reception they speak Russian.
Now about nutrition: a buffet with a rich choice of dishes not only Spanish but also in international cuisine, on certain days of the week you can enjoy a variety of seafood seafood. Champagne is served for breakfast, which has already become a tradition for all hotels in this network.
In the evenings, hotels spend a rather interesting entertainment program, which is designed for people of all ages. Outside, the balconies of the rooms are illuminated by neon light, which makes the kind of hotels very bright and unusual.
Referring to the reviews of tourists and hotel information, I can recommend their amateurs of outdoor activities. These accommodation options are suitable for young people, a married couple or family with middle-aged children.
But considering that hotels are located in a rather noisy zone, I can not recommend them to lovers of a quiet, passive recreation, or for families with young children. Of the minuses of Los Angeles, I can call his small pools and territory, given a large number of rooms. In Best San Francisco, the territory is more, so in this case it has an advantage.
Hotel Salou Park Resort
which belongs to the network 4 R. Next to it is a three-star hotel belonging to the same network - SALOU PARK RESORT 2
Which used to be called Margarita. Hotels are positioned as two parts under the same name, so that I will not repeat about them in one characteristic.
The location is very successful, 100 meters from the small beach of Kappajan, and 10 minutes from the city center. Hotels are quite large and in total offer 417 rooms, types: standard, suite and family. Most of them have a terrace, which is important to specify when booking this hotel, it also applies to the rooms overlooking the sea. The rooms have air conditioning, equipped bathroom, hairdryer, satellite TV, telephone and free Wi-Fi. The safe and refrigerator offer for an additional fee. Cleaning and cleanliness at the hotel at the middle level.
There are 4 pools, sun terraces, playgrounds, play club, buffet restaurants, conference rooms, and billiards, all zones adapted to guests with disabilities. For an additional fee, you can use SPA services and fitness centers, parking, visit Gastrobar and Piano Bar overlooking the sea.
As for nutrition in hotels, I can mark a diverse selection of dishes from vegetables, meat and fish.
A interesting entertainment program with games, dancing and musical accompaniment is held every day.
According to tourists reviews, the Hotel Salou Park Resort 1 does not match the four stars and prices for it are slightly overestimated. This option is suitable for families with middle-aged children and pairs. If you compare two hotels, then the rooms in Salou Park Resort 2 will be a little worse than in the hotel's eponymous with four stars. In addition, it is important to take into account that the zone in which the hotels are located quite noisy, and the loud entertainment program often continues lately, which can interfere with a relaxing holiday after a busy day.
Hotel Playa Park
Proven to be a good place for family holidays. The excellent location of the hotel will allow you to choose the beach even the most demanding tourists: it is just a hundred and fifty meters from Larga Beach, 5 minutes from the cozy Bay of Yengwadens and 10 minutes from Kapains Beach. In addition, Playa Park is located in a quiet area with a beautiful Mediterranean landscape, but at the same time not far from the city center.
The hotel has 315 rooms, all of them are spacious and equipped with air conditioning, bathroom, hairdryer, satellite TV, telephone and free Wi-Fi and a balcony. For a fee, you can use the safe and refrigerator.
On well-kept landscaped area, there are 2 swimming pools and a sun terrace, a buffet restaurant and a poolside bar, a playground, a mini-club, a games room, a mini-golf course. Access to zones is adapted for people with limited physical abilities.
In addition, the hotel offers day and evening entertainment for children and adults: musicals, games, flamenco and other shows.
The food is diverse, the buffet restaurant serves a wide selection of meat, fish and seafood dishes. In addition, weekly thematic evenings with live music are held: Mexican Fiesta, Chinese evenings and solemn dinners. The hotel staff is benevolent and attentive to their guests, they speak Russian at the reception.
To summarize the information above, I want to say that Playa Park is an excellent accommodation option in terms of price and quality. Hotel is well suited for
Family recreation with children of any age and or for a romantic couple with a couple. Numerous tourist reviews confirm!
Hotel Villa Dorada..
Which belongs to the O-HELS network. It is located on Vendrel Street, rising in which you will reach the beach of Larga and the Bay of Yengwadens. Walk to the sea will take you not more than 10 minutes. The nearest bus stop can be reached in 5 minutes, and to the city center for 15.
The hotel is large enough, in 2016 it was completely reconstructed. The rooms are new, with spacious terraces, and depending on the area are calculated for two-four people. The rooms are decorated in light pasta tones and are equipped with new furniture, a private bathroom, air conditioning, a hairdryer, Wai Fai, a TV, a telephone, a mini-fridge and a safe. Cleaning daily, the level of purity is medium.
The hotel's territory is large enough, here you will find a sun terrace with a magnificent pool, which has areas for adults and children, a restaurant, a cocktail bar, a playground and a game room for the whole family as well as free parking. For an additional fee, the hotel offers a gym and sauna.
According to reviews of holidaymakers, the hotel offers international cuisine, on some days a show preparation and a variety of thematic dinners.
An entertainment program often includes live music and shows for different age categories.
The staff at the hotel is also a pleasant and polite, several reception administrators speak Russian.
At the end I can say that I advise this family-friendly hotel with children as well as couples. Maintenance and numbers fully match their three stars. The only minus of this hotel is apartments located next door, they often rent for European adolescents who like to arrange noisy parties, so it should be considered if your room will not go out into the yard of the hotel.
Three-star Best Mediterraneo Hotel
It has a fairly good location: to the nearest beaches or to the city center can be reached in 10 minutes. In addition, the bus stop is just a minute from the hotel. Nearby are small tourist shops and cafes. A pleasant bonus will be the fact that next door to the hotel is the theme park - the Catalan estate, which is the attraction of the city.
If we talk about the hotel, then it is large enough here, where guests have a swimming pool, adult and children, a spacious terrace surrounded by pines, children's park, billiards, snack bar and restaurant.
The rooms are small, on tourists reviews even crowded. Each has a balcony, air conditioning, TV, telephone, hairdryer and free Wi-Fi. The refrigerator and safe are available at an additional cost. Cleaning daily, without special complaints. The quality of nutrition is good, as in all hotels of this network, a large selection of fruits and vegetables, meat and fish dishes. Seafood for reviews of tourists is a bit.
The staff at the reception speaks Russian, besides all friendly and polite. Every day, the hotel hold a variety of entertainment programs for adults and children.
This hotel is a good budget option and corresponds to its prices. It is suitable for family holidays with middle-aged children, as well as pairs. Of the minuses of Best Mediterraneo, I can call it a fairly outdated appearance, compared to other hotels in a given network, as well as a small area of rooms, in addition, the hotel is located in a noisy area, near the apartment where European youth is often resting.
Hotel Calypso
Belongs to the Network Medplaya and is the most popular in Salou among the Russian-speaking public. It is just two minutes from the bus
Stopping and central street Carles Buigas with shops, cafes and bars. Walk to the sea will take you not more than 15 minutes, and the distance to the beaches of Larga or Kapaiance is almost the same.
There are 2 outdoor pools with a hydromassage area, a sunbathing area, a gaming club, a playground, 2 restaurants, a bar and a garden. Calypsco's bright and spacious rooms have a private balcony, air conditioning, a bathroom, satellite TV, a telephone, a hairdryer and Wi-Fi. There is no refrigerator, but it can be rented for 6 euros per day. Safe is also provided for a fee.
The restaurant serves a buffet from a variety of Mediterranean dishes. In the summer, the hotel has an open-air restaurant. From time to time, thematic dinners are organized for guests. The creative staff of the animators arranges for guests of all ages, day and evening entertainment events, shows and concerts that tourists respond to delight.
Hotel employees are benevolently and polite, almost everyone speaks Russian at the reception.
Hotel Calypso is a good budget option for the whole family. Prices are quite consistent with the hotel service. From the disadvantages, I can name the complaints of tourists on poor noise insulation, as well as the lack of a refrigerator in the room and bad wi fi. In addition, the hotel has 514 rooms, so on its territory will always be noisy and crowded, and there are almost never free to the sun terrace for the sun.
Hotel Marinada
It has a fairly convenient location: 10 minutes from the city center and the central beach, close to Carles Buigas tourist street, where shops, bars and restaurants are located. Across the road from the hotel is the same aparthotel.
The hotel consists of two hundred and twenty-class rooms of the standard of which 30 adjacent and 8 duplex numbers for four people. All rooms have a central air conditioning system, a separate bathroom, all the necessary furniture, TV, telephone, hairdryer and free Wi-Fi. There is no refrigerator in the room, and the safe can be used for an additional fee. Cleaning and cleanliness are supported on a good level.
There is two swimming pools with a sun terrace, a garden with a playground, a playroom, a mini golf, an outdoor gym and a sauna, a bar and a restaurant.
Food is excellent, Mediterranean and international cuisine are served here. In the evenings there are live music, show and discos are held. For children, animators pay special attention and occupy them with different contests and games. The hotel staff is benevolent and attentive to resting, but in Russian speaks just a couple of employees.
At the end, I can say about the hotel that it is good enough for my money and corresponds to the status of 3 stars. Marinade is suitable for family holidays with children of any age or a couple, as well as young people, because the parties and bars are just 7 minutes from the hotel.
Hotel Jaime I.
It is rightfully the largest hotel in Salou, it has three buildings, which in the amount have 775 numbers. In addition, this hotel was built one of the first in the city in 1974. The last reconstruction was held 12 years ago. The hotel is successfully located in relation to the city center. The Embankment and Central Beach is just 500 meters away.
It offers accommodation options from double to family rooms for 4 people, standard. The rooms are spacious, bright, with separate bathroom, TV, telephone, and necessary furniture. Wi Fi has, but the signal is very weak, there is no hair dryer and refrigerators, you can use the safe for an additional fee.
The territory of the hotel is very large, its area is 15 thousand meters square, guests of vacation 2 huge outdoor basins and an indoor pool with
Heated, sun terraces, outdoor jacuzzi open solarium, playgrounds and clubs both on the street and in the hotel building, sauna, Turkish bath, gym, conference room, 2 bars and cafes, as well as a large restaurant.
As for nutrition in the hotel, it is quite diverse, with a good choice of meat and fish dishes. The wation of the day and until late in the evening, the animation team holds an entertainment program, shows and contests, but only in Spanish. It unfortunately is not designed to the Russian-speaking contingent.
The staff reviews are quite controversial, some talk about the friendliness of employees, others are indignant to the incompetence and even the poor attitude of the hotel staff.
As for the purity and quality of cleaning, it is low here at low, the rooms are cleaned very superficially, and numerous tourist reviews are talking about dirty dishes in the restaurant.
So, in order to summarize the entire above minuses of the hotel are the old rooms and furniture, lack of refrigerator and hairdryer, a large number of guests in all areas, noise and loud animation are late, low cleanliness.
Hotel Hyima offers enough democratic prices for their rooms, but I can not recommend it with resting due to a large number of negative reviews. It has long been time to reconstruct. If you have already gathered in this hotel, then take all the necessary things, ask for a room with a balcony that does not go to the courtyard, do not buy fast foods, as the reproductive rental will cost you 40 euros in three days. And of course, go to patience and a good mood, it will be useful to you here ...
