All i can say is, i think most of the people who have given poor reviews must have had very high expectations! i thoroughly enjoyed my stay here and am returning again to salou this year, admittedly not in this hotel as we found an offer that was cheaper however would not... more

DONT GO!! After reading the reports before we went, we thought surely its not that bad. How wrong we were. We only paid a 40 euro deposit, and had no problem getting it back, that was probably the best thing about this place. On entering our appartment it looked as if it... more

Don't listen to these bad reviews!!!!!!
My partner and our two kids aged 3 and 1 stayed at the apartments for 1 week at the start of august. Once we had booked the holiday we discovered these terrible reviews and did'nt want to go, but we decided to go anyway. I am so glad we did. The room we got was very very clean and spacious, sure its not the hilton but on the whole it was really very good. The hotel staff were all pleasant and very helpful. The entertainment was great for my 3 year old and the entertainers themselfs were excellant. Salou on the whole is a... more
Cheap clean near the centre of things overall a good spot...
Well some of these reviews shock me.. I went to Salou in Sep 05, it cost me 1,200 euros for a family of five, for TWO WEEKS. I knew that there were no air con in the apts, but there were clean and tidy with maids coming every second day and did a fab job, even doin my washing up some days, staff were great so friendly and all my kids knew them by name when we were leaving they had entertainment every nite maybe one or two nites it wasnt great but overall it was good the apts were so near the centre of things it was great just stepping out... more
"Not as bad as i thought..." family of 4 ,Dublin
We stayed in The Catalonia Gardens for 1 week from the 19th July. I had read all the reviews & was dreading telling the "other half" so i decided to say nothing & waited till we got there to see what it was like. First impressions were fine. we were even asked did we want first floor apartment because we have a 2 yr old. Making our way to our room i noticed everything i had read on the reviews - wires hanging of the walls & dirt & food allover the staircase.Our room was huge & the balcony was massive.it was clean but there were a... more
Whats wrong with people
We booked our holiday 6 months ago. there was 12 of us 6 adults and 6 children ranging from 10 to 2. Before we went we had been reading the reviews and thought what have we booked. But we thought worst thing that could happen we would have to move. When we arrived at 11 am in the morning we were able to check straight in. this was great as we did not expect to until 2pm. we went to the rooms and they werwe basic but nothing different to any other self catering appartments we have stayed in before. We had a pool view and it all seemed... more
Perfect for clubbers
I was going to Salou with my family, I booked at last minute and so ended up in the Catalonia Gardens as opposed to the hotel the rest of my family had. I had a whale of a time, the hotel was a great base, the bar staff v.friendly, the night watch man makes you feel secure and the noise from the street doesn't really affect you. There is family entertainment but i went out most nights. I went inlow season but still found plenty to do and the Catalonia Gardens was a great base from which to explore the main bar strip, which starts two minutes... more
ABSOLUTE NIGHTMARE!!
The Catalonia Gardens is by far the worst place we stayed in….ever!! We booked our holiday last minute and our apartment was allocated on arrival and unfortunately we were put in this sh*t hole!!! As the early post said when we walked into the apartment we wanted to either move apartments altogether or go home! We asked to be moved however our "Rep" told us everywhere was full and we'd have to pay huge amount to get anywhere else! No air conditioning at all in the rooms, which were filthy. You could hire a very small fan... more

Glad To Be Gone
the coach driver cudnt even find the place.. it was in the middle of darkness and trees!..1st impression not good, had to carry our bags up to our room as there was a man stuck in the lift screaming. on the way up wee saw dirt and electrical wires hanging out of the wall were the fire alarm should have been. there was 20 break in's in our block during one week. we reported this to reception who didnt even seem bothered, they actually seemed surprised that we were complaining. the staff were nice and friendly and the pool entertainment was... more

Basic, Clean Apartment But Great Base For Holiday
I have just returned from eight days at Catalonia Gardens staying with my husband and 14 year old and have no complaints about the apartment at all. We staying in block three on fifth floor and the apartment was clean and well stocked with cutlery, dishes, etc. Maid came three times during our stay to change sheets and provide clean towels. After reading some of the reviews before we left I was dreading what I was going to find but was pleasantly surprised. There was no air conditioning but we knew that before we left. I would recommend... more
