Sol Piramide Salou

1 reader found this review helpful

Just returned from Sol Piramide and we are glad to be home. Although the hotel and rooms were clean, the fridge in our room was useless and no extractor fan in Bathroom. This is our first time going half board and will be the last. The main problem was the food which was terrible.
Same thing most nights and was either cold or lukewarm at best. As an environmental health officer by profession I considered it unsafe for my family to eat lukewarm meat, fish or poultry, so we only ate what amounted to bread and dessert on six evenings. Obviously having to eat out the rest of the fortnight increased the cost of the holiday dramatically.
Also we found the resort to be dirty and covered in graffiti, particularly on the wall outside the hotel. The hotel was full of Spanish families and everything was for their benefit. We will not be returning to Salou and will never use a sol hotel or go half board again.

after reading the reviews for the hotel, I wasn’t looking forward to going to Salou, the hotel was within walking distance of all that Salou had to offer, it was large bright and airy, and most of all it was very clean, the staff were always very pleasant, and couldn’t do enough for you, the rooms were quite large, the view from the balcony wasn’t great, but who cares, the food wasn’t too bad, it was better than we expected from the reviews, some nights it was very good some nights it wasn’t too good, but we always found something we never left hungry, there was always plenty of beds and parasols round the pool, although it was about 11am before the sun got round to the pool. After all we enjoyed our stay in Salou, and will be returning in the future.

It was a Family holiday to Salou, 2 adults 1 child and a baby. Reus airport is only 15 mins from the resort which is a blessing when coupled with the short flight.
Staff are friendly. Rooms are nice and clean with fridge air conditioning.
The buffet restaurant was nice & clean, with a good selection even though we stayed 10 night we found we had plenty of choice.
The sunlight on the pool in the morning is blocked by the hotel itself until mid-day, plenty of sun loungers though.
Will definitely go back to the resort again and probably the hotel. Salou is tacky in the usual seaside town type of way but the kids love it.

We have just returned from our stay in the Sol Piramide, Salou. This a nice, clean hotel away from the main town of Salou, but within easy walking distance of shops, bars etc.
We are a couple in our 20's and I have to admit, this hotel did seem suited to the more mature guest ;o)
Saying that, there was a group of 6 trouble causers all in there 70's when we were there, ha!
The hotel, whilst not being a 4 star in everyone’s opinion is very comfortable. The food in the restaurant is good enough for most, with a wide choice most nights, but again may not be up to everyone’s standard.
We went out to eat a couple of times out of choice, not necessity.
The pool area is again very clean and well maintained, but the pool is the coldest I have ever come across in my life. Mainly due to the fact that the sun doesn’t hit that side of the hotel until 11am.
The staff are excellent and very helpful. If you have kids the female members of staff are very attentive to them and speak excellent English, so can communicate with them easily.
Overall, whilst we had a good time in this hotel I don’t think we would rush back to Salou.
It is a bit too "tacky" in a Blackpool kind of way, every shop selling "Rasta" figurines doesn’t really do it for me!
The beach and the promenade are lovely and there are a few nice bars around there. But when venturing into the rest of Salou be prepared, it's a bit like a box of chocolates... You just never know what you're going to get!!!

The hotel was very clean modern and had what you would call a wow factor when you walked into reception, the room was everything we wanted and kept to a high standard or cleanliness, the safety deposit box was free of charge which was good.
However the location and hotel was poor, it was almost set on a roundabout with noise from traffic and barking dogs from the locals apartments, which we were overlooked and shaded by all day. This was very annoying at times and did wake us up a lot early mornings when locals were going to work etc. Rooms on the front of the hotel didn’t have such noise problems.
The pool was clean but shaded for about half of the day making it freezing cold. But as for the state of the art gym it was a complete joke (this was not 4 star) there were two cycling machine, 1 weight lifting device which had broke, 4 steps for aerobics and as for the smell it made us feel sick, the water in both tiny Jacuzzis was a kind of green/yellow colour so we gave all that a miss.
Food was not so good same food the whole week, deserts were poor and hardly no fresh fruit; melon and strawberries about three times in the week, tinned peaches and pears every day.
Location wise only 5 to 10 minute walk from most of the nightlife, pretty low key, one club on sea front and the rest was bars and restaurants, good for families though beach and promenade very clean.
We had an ok week but I don’t think we would return.
