Playa de Oro

"The hotel itself is nice, the rooms are clean and modern. It’s a nice budget friendly hotel. We didn’t try any of the food on offer apart from some fries, which were nice and fresh. The poolside bar - the drinks are expensive. If only drinking soft drinks, I would recommend the shop directly across from the hotel. The walls in the room were thin so we could hear a lot of noise from the corridors, and rooms above. The only main issues we had were around the pool. Albeit not the hotels fault, but there was a ridiculous amount of wasps. Ourselves and other guests were jumping up from sun loungers every 2 minutes due to wasps swarming. Drinks had to be covered up to try and minimise the issue, however it didn’t help much. The pool is small but does the job, it was very cold and wasn’t the cleanest. We had some bad weather whilst here so I’d imagine the debris in the pool was from this, however I’d expect the hotel to maintain this. There was more than enough sun loungers and there wasn’t any sunbed wars with towels, there was always somewhere to sit. The pool doesn’t open until 10am. Overall we had a good stay and for the price and it being a 3 star, we didn’t expect anything else. The cleaners work hard and do a good job."

"Perfect location for us, just 5 minute walk from the strip so far enough away from the noise. Food was delicious, only problem for me was they weren't labelled with allergens so I avoided alot, however I was given wrapped gluten free products so didnt go hungry in fact I was very happy with my breakfast choices. We had one problem with a disruptive neighbour, (not the hotels fault) but it was dealt with professionally. Bedrooms were a decent size, lovely shower. Overall couldn't fault the hotel and would definitely stay there when we come to Salou again. Infact we will look for Pierre & Vacances chain wherever we decide to go now."

"What can I say, this hotel it’s up a slight hill 5mins from the main strip…. is lovely the rooms are a bit tired but clean, walls are paper thin so you can hear people talking and moving around in their room. staff are lovely and helpful. We only used the pool once but noticed there was always a free bed and somewhere to sunbathe, no towels on beds in the morning which was good. The sunroof bar wasn’t open but it was a great sun catch up there with about 10 beds and 2 jacuzzi’s. Tried the hotel food - breakfast €10 could have been better, food warm but lots of choice, better across the road. snack bar was good value, drinks typical of a hotel. Overall nice hotel need money spending on it to get it looking better, they have a garage which is €20 a day but it is a skill to park in it….. no Large car would fit so try before you pay for it. There is on- street parking which you pay for from an app, lots of wardens around so be careful."
