CYE Holiday Centre

we arrived at the apartments at 1 oclock only to be told we couldnt get into our rooms till 5 oclock because the roms wernt ready .The apartments themselves were lovely nice big balcony but overlooked the main road and was very noisy with cars tooting there horns.In the two weeks we stayed there we only had our sheets changed once and we had to take them off the beds ourselves ready for the cleaners.Cleaners done very little cleaning .Once the toilet rolls were used up we were told we had to buy our own as it was not a hotel.The rubbish had to be emptied by ourselves the cleaners didnt take it away.Al of this really put a dampener on our holiday.Also no kettle was in our room you had to hire a one .Ther should have been one supplied as this was a self catering apartment.On the postive side the lazy wave underneath was very good the food was very nice lovely service and good entertainment.Wouldnt recoment these apartment .

My friends and I have just arrived home from Cye Apartments in Salou on 15/08/08. We arrived on 08/08/08 at 9.30am and were told that our apartment would not be ready for 2-3 hours. Bearing in mind we had not gone to bed the night before we were very disappointed to hear this, we got the keys of the apartment at 1.30pm. Apartment was clean when we got there, although we did not get clean towels for the first 3 days we ended up leaving them to the drycleaners around the corner on the 2nd day. We got more clean towels on the 5th day of our stay. The sheets on our bed did not get changed the whole week, cleaners did little cleaning during our stay. My friend and I got stuck in the lift on our 2nd day and the lady at reception had to prize the doors of the lift open and we had to jump 6 foot on to the ground to safety. Another 2 friends that were travelling with us got stuck in the lift another day, this happens on a regular basis because they would often be out of order when we'd go to use them. My friends and I hired a Safety Deposit box for 1 week this cost us 22 euro's & 10 euro's deposit. To hire a kettle and toaster it was also 10 euro's each for 1 week. Apartments were ok if you wanted a low budget holiday, I certainly will not be returning to stay there again. I found Salou overall expensive and not the best place I've been! I would not recommend Salou for a holiday.

the cye holiday apartments are absoloutley brilliant u cannot fault them in any way the rooms are a nice size the staff are very friendly n lovely and they even include hairdryers and a welcome pack in the apartment.Salou is a gorgeous holiday resort and is ideal for couples and familys.We went with siesta holidays and have been to cye apartments salou 4 5 years on a trot n are going again this tuesday. i would recommend this holiday to anyone xxxx

Enjoyed 4 weeks at the Cye, locality and the apartments were first class, the cleanliness was second to none.
very near all shops and small friendly bars and restaurants, especially the Corr Lin Bar with Paco and his family. the best steak and sunday roasts in Salou. The deal we had was a real bargain. Near the airport, and the taxi service was good. The locality of Cye was suitable to us as it was in the quieter area of Salou, although everything was down that area, especially the beautiful fountains with their laser lights. Hope to spend another holiday at Salou. The entertanier for the children "Fernando" worked very hard and was always pleasant with children and the adults.

We have not long since come back from a 1 week stay at the Cye. The hotel itself is fine beware of the 60 euro deposit for your room and the fact that you cannot get into your room until 5pm. We arrived there at 9.30am and could not get into our room until 5.00pm I have two small children who had been travelling through the night. The staff are ok Entertainer is fab really tries with the kids. There seems to be no rules at this hotel as people did whatever they wanted. It is a bit noisy at night but we slept fine. We had pool view which was great the balconies are huge. The only other problem was the sleeping arrangements 4th bed is a pull down behind the front door (not ideal for a 2 year old). No ants no Mossy which was great. The beach is a 5 minute walk and is lovely(just be careful with small children as someone held my daughters hand was started to walk away with her). There is lots of activities going on on the beach playgrounds, jet ski, pedaloes, banana boat etc. The Pool area of the hotel in particular the pool is small for the size of the hotel and people were queing to put their towels out as the gate is not opened until 9am. The pool is FREEZING. Hotel food not up to much but plenty of places to eat around. We enjoyed our week in Salou but a week was long enough and we wouldn't go back but each to their own.

Just returned from the cye holiday centre and had a great time. Lovely appartment very clean, nice size rooms. Lots of clean towels.The starter pack with washing up liquid and dish cloth was a nice thought.All staff very helpful and friendly. Thomson's rep was very nice. I thought everyone there tried to make you wellcome and they did. Pool was a little small but for what we paid I was very pleased and would go back again. Found a great place to eat Buddy's on the large round about. Food was very good and lots of it.

The hotel is towards the Marina and is in an area which has a more Spanish feel. Its about a 15 min walk to the main bars, restaurants, shops which was great at night as there was no noise. About 30 mins walk to Port Aventura. The train track at the back of the hotel didnt make any difference at all. There are small British cafe/bars very close by. The rooms are spacious and clean as are all areas of the hotel. Staff friendly and helpful. Entertainment is karoake,bingo at night and they also have different nightly shows for all ages. Throughout the day Fernando tried to entertain families with pool games for kids and dads (polo) and this is only for hour or so in afternoon. This is a great base for young families. Teenagers would probably get a bit bored with entertainment, location. Highly recommended if you dont want to be "in the thick of it".

I know im only 16,(then i was 14, but in 2006 i went on holiday with my mum, dad, big sister(then 15) and my little brother(then 5). It was one of the best holidays that i have EVER been on! The staff are great, i never really spoke to the holiday reps but i heard they were great too! I regularly ate there and when i did i loved it! The beach was only a two minute walk away so we were there alot too! The waiters were all really friendly and altough it was nearly two years ago i still remeber Fernando who was the entertainer there most nights, there was loads for us kids to do, the pool was awesome..bit cold cold but the best fun ever lots of kids to make friends with, the sun was brilliant too and i would so recommend it for anyone, the room was ALWAYS clean and tidy and the lifts were a great help. Was nice that they had a little shop on site so that you didnt have to walk into the town.
I will be going back there very soon and i know ill love it just like i did the first time around!
So go, i think youll have a good time :D

Cannot fault CYE apartments and i'm pretty fussy!! We paid £200 for one week, complete bargain! we weren't expecting great accomodation for the amount we paid and very pleasantly suprised. The apartments were clean, spacious and nice, big balcony and nice bedroom, also very well equipt! The pool/poolside was basic but fine, all hotel staff we met were nice, brilliant location (only about 5 mins to the beach and town centre) Salou itself was lovely, Slightly tacky but most holiday resorts these days are, the beach was gorgeous, beautiful town and plenty to do, if you have young children or a theme park enthusiast i would reccoment going to porta ventura but me and my boyfriend werent that bothered by it! All in all a good holiday and would definatley reccomend!

Well we arrived at a nice time in the morning about 11ish, stayed for a week just me and one friend. As it was almost end of season there was very few staying in the hotel at the time, that meant less noise when hung over and not many kids in your face! The trains came and went within seconds and once you heard it, you'd kinda become immune to the noise!
The pool food was tops and the drink, even better!! Little shop mall in the place, internet and washing machine. But the night guard wouldn't let us bring people back to our room for a party, though I suppose that was for the sake of the other guests! Beach is nice yeah and plenty of shops and the likes, food was fairly cheep as well....
Our room looked over a beautiful car park, 3 actually, one after another that lead onto the Train tracks, not that we were to bothered like but the view could have been a little better. Other than that I'd recommend it to anyone that wants a good break away!
It was a deadly holiday and I'll deffo be going back for more Salou action!
Avoid the Bouncers in Snoopys though they tend to stamp people in the strangest of places, my back n all got it bad!
