Aug 2006, gremlingray

My husband and I went to the Golden Port Salou hotel in July. We loved it. We had no problems at any stage of our journey and the hotel was spotless. The room was good and even though we had a room at the back and not a pool view we were not bothered. It was a pleasant view and sitting on the balcony in the evening was lovely and quiet.
The hotel was at an ideal location, it was ten minutes away from the town you did not hear any late night revellers. The hotel food was fab, one night it was roast chicken and one night roast beef. They catered for all nationalities at the hotel and breakfast had everything you could need. There is an option for lunch in the main bar area and that was a nice selection too.
Now the main part, the sun beds, I had been told and also read that the doors don’t open until 9.00 so everybody had a chance at getting a bed. I was so stunned when the doors opened and people ran for the beds. I was laughing so much, but it was such a serious business, one morning a man fell over a chair while he was running did a somersault and then got up and kept running.
So a little warning the best time to go down is 8.45. There were a few beds left after 9.00 but the other problem was finding somewhere to put them. It did get quite crowded by the pool but there are two terraces that can be used. There was a life guard there the whole two weeks we were there and he took his job very seriously.
There was a charge for the mattresses if you wanted them on your sun beds and that was 2 euros a day There was some service by the waiters serving drinks by the pool but that is if you could get their attention. The entertainment in the evening was great at the hotel and the entertainers were fab. The children and adults were amused most of the time.
The town was, as I said ten minutes walk from the hotel, it has a number of bars and we found one that was really good, the staff were friendly and very funny. We kept going back there most nights and met a lovely family who I keep in contact with.
The streets are very busy at night but there is a lot to see. The only problem I had was the touts, they all wanted to give you a card which promotes their bar, no matter which way you go there are hundreds of them, it got quite tedious in the end. But that never stopped me going. I will definitely go back to the hotel and Salou. We had a great time and I recommend it to couples and families.

May 2006, Mrs S Kibart

My family have just arrived back from the port Salou and what a fantastic time we had. Hotel is great, very clean and very safe for kids, the pools are also kept clean and tidy and the indoor pool came in very handy for my 7 year old who found the outdoor one a little to cold!
I have just read other peoples reviews and could not believe how the food was slated, either the hotel has improved in 2006 or these people are the sort who just like a good moan about everything, we found it fantastic, the waiters were constantly clearing tables, the food was always hot and I have never seen a variety like it, there was everything you could possibly think of and I am now on a diet!
The entertainment staff David and Isabel from the hotel were great with my children aged 3 and 8, they had poolside games everyday which went on all day they were never bored so if they were happy then so was I!
The entertainment in the evening most nights was to a very good standard with some very talented artists and of course the kids loved the mini disco which went on for an hour.
Salou is great if you have kids and you must visit port adventurer its worth every penny, this is our second visit and I will definitely be going back next year.
So finally all these sad negative people that slated the place just ignore all their comments it’s a great place!

Lovely Hotel this is our 3 time here. Really friendly staff. I have 2 young children under 3 and they accommodated us brilliantly with making up bottles for the 5 month old and heating them. Microwave available in restaurant to sterilise.
Food has always been great all the times we have stayed. Rooms clean and all public areas kept very clean. Lovely pool full time life guard. Beach great.
Fantastic location 4-5 min walk into town. Would highly recommend and will be returning again for our 4th time.

Sep 2005, Mr D I Briggs

The food was the worst food I have ever had. I wouldn’t feed it to my dog. The meats were still pink and when I asked the chef he said they couldn’t cook it any longer because it would hold them up with other food. The staff were friendly and helpful. The night life was good.
We were there for two weeks and after the first week we didn’t want to eat at the hotel any more so we found a little English pub called Jacks it save our hotel. The beaches were so beautiful and clean. If you go to the Golden port Salou Hotel DONT eat there.

Mar 2005, Not Specified

As part of a school excursion we stayed at this hotel for 4 nights, what a nightmare, the food was absolutely appalling cold and disgusting and tasteless. Returned after a day out to find 30 of our rooms had been ransacked cameras, phones, money and medication had been stolen. Nobody knows who how why where, management very unsympathetic, and unable to say how they had access to rooms and safes in rooms. I will never ever go there again and I will make it my business to publicise this kip for what it really is , avoid at all costs you’d be better off sleeping on the beach

In Jun 1999 I holidayed here and thought it was fab.
I was on a girlie holiday and I was kept entertained all day. We went to Andorra, which was great , but I must have to say the coach journey was tiring and very very long. I would take plenty of water with you.

I went on a bar crawl with Thomson’s aswell which was alot of fun, as you got to meet other hotel guests, which we spent time with at dinner and in the evenings.
I thought that the pool was wicked. I did not go to the beach much because it was a little to far to go to and after spending a day in the sun all you want to do is laze around. besides we had the pool.
That’s why I’m now taking my boyfriend there this year. The holiday will be so different form the one in 1999 but I can’t wait to go. I’m sure it will be lots of fun.

Fab holiday, the pictures in the brochures don’t do it justice. Food was wonderful, breakfast at 8-11.30am, dinner at 6-9.30pm, excellent choice and presentation. Staff friendly and the hotel was spotless.
Massive pool with loads of room to sunbathe, small gym, whirlpool and sauna. Entertainment was not too bad, kids’ disco, shows etc. Thompson’s kids rep and Golden hotels own kids reps kept kids entertained all day long with fun and games.
Golden Port Salou Hotel is about a 20 min stroll from beach and centre of town, shops all along the way to browse in. Would recommend it!
