SunClub Salou

"Check in: you are required to pay tax per adult for 7 days + 100 euro deposit (you get the deposit back)! We were 130 euro before getting to our room.. It’s a nice hotel. Staff at reception are lovely and helpful, bar/restaurant staff are fine & friendly too although some not great English. The entertainment guy is fab with the kids & helpful! But the place is 3* not 4*! Extremely noisy! Never stayed ANYWHERE like it!! The walls are so thin!! You don’t need to sit down stairs for the entertainment if you’re on level one coz you can hear it clear as day in your room! However… The hotel is fine & well equipped for self catering in the apartments minus a freezer. We had a 2 bedroom end of the hotel, but it got no sunlight onto balcony which was disappointing but there are plenty that do! It’s clean enough, but rooms could do with being upgraded as the main entrance and bar areas are lovely, the rooms seem a little outdated compared to that. (But they could be in the process) cleaners are in daily except Wednesday & Sunday. Pools: there are 3. A kids pool with a small slide & sprinkler statue. A large pool (freezing cold but once your in it’s ok) & then the jacuzzi with warmer water. Most of the kids used the jacuzzi coz the pools are so cold. Sun doesn’t appear til lunchtime at the hotel & pool opens at 10am. Shop on site is useful and helpful, stocks what you would need. Can be pricey for some things. Like for 4 juices and some sweets I was more than 20 euro… Food in the hotel is ok… nothing to write greatly about. Ate once in hotel & didn’t bother again, it wasn’t for us. But plenty people did! Didn’t have breakfast in the hotel coz I wasn’t paying 9.50 euro for each child when all they eat is cereal or fruit. Getting into main salou, use the bus number 3, 4 or 47 at the bottom of the hill to the right of the hotel. There is a bus plana shop across the street from bus stop buy the card & put tickets on it. We spent 40 euro for a week and that got 4 of us in and out of salou sometimes twice a day some days but went into salou every night except 1! Down the hill to the left of the hotel and down another hill is a lovely restaurant called tropical. Food is fabulous! And a decent supermarket next door (Michael angelo)! Entertainment on every night in the hotel and stuff during the day most days for the kids. There is an arcade on site it’s small but fine to play in & pool tables. There is a gym also and a laundry area (we didn’t use these). Portaventura - we booked in the bus plana shop - guy was helpful. Get the number 1 or 74 to the theme park! Overall for the price for self catering for a week wasn’t fully justified, but we met some lovely families, the kids all played well, we got some sunshine & it was a nice holiday but if I was to return to salou I would book central salou. Not cap salou. Or this hotel again. Solely because of the noise level and the area & lack of sunshine to the hotel til lunch time."

"All together, a really nice hotel. The room was clean and comfortable. We had a lovely balcony with a very nice view. The breakfast was clearly targeted at the Brits and was very good. The entertainment was for the younger kids and they seemed very happy. We have two teenages and this wasn't their thing. We didn't stay at the hotel during the day as we were at Ferrari land and Portaventura all day for the long weekend. The bus from the hotel was incredibly simple to use and cheap at less than a Euro each one way. The bus stop is only a few mins down the road and you're in the centre of Salu in about 10mins and Ferrari land in about 20-25mins. The best thing about the hotel was the staff. Alice, on the front desk was really nice and just so helpful. She is a real credit to that place. The breakfast staff were so nice too. We spoke to a few others in broken Spanish and they were really friendly. If we would ever come back to Salu then we would certainly consider staying here again."

"Just home out stay here with my partner and our 4 year old. Location- about 10 minute walk from a lovely little beach, the bus is at the bottom of the hill and so easy to navigate 10 minutes on it and your in salou centre, if you wanted to walk it is about 40 mins. (A taxi into centre is about 15 -20 euro we were told and the bus was 2.50!) Hotel- the rooms are spacious and was cleaned everyday, ours had a massive balcony Pools- standard pool, the children's pool could do with having a little something added as there is only a small slide and a giant bucket that fills with water. The park beside it could also have a little updo as well as a light for the night time as it is pitch black 😂 Staff- we arrived thursday and the man with black curly hair on reception with the ear piercings was soso lovely! The man who does the entertainment is also really good and brilliant with the kids. Food- the food was ok, we had breakfast included and did have to wait for stuff to get added but that was expected as breakfast was busy, me and my partner shared a paella at night time and the portion for the price was really small but other then that the food was good and reasonably priced There isnt much around the hotel to do, you do have to go into salou town but If travelling with young children I would reccomend doing the tourist train for some site seeing as it goes around salou and I would also reccomend going to bosc adventura which has mini golf, archery, trampolines, zip lines etc as we really enjoyed it :)"
