Aug 2008, Mr A Campbell

Have just returned home from a week's holiday in Salou with my wife and 16 year old daughter. I had read the reviews on this site prior to departing and as some were good and some were not, decided would see for myself and form my own opinion.
I would strongly advise you not to book these apartments as the description "basic" does not even begin to tell the story. The rooms are of a very poor standard, the worst I have ever stayed in.
We stayed on a self catering basis, but if you have intentions of preparing food in your room then forget it, as the cooking facilities comprise of 2 electric rings and nothing else.
The bathroom was a joke with a shower head that did not fit the bracket and sprayed water everywhere. This was changed, but replaced with an even worse one.
The pool was absolutely disgusting and the filters around the poolside looked like they had last been cleaned sometime in the 20th century.
The entertainment was ok, but no better than what is available in almost any apartments or hotels, in any resort.
The resort of Salou itself was fantastic, with the beaches and promenade a highlight, and I would return in the future, but would definately not consider returning to the Internacional II.

Aug 2008, Mr D MCKEOWN

Well what can I say about Inter2 or as me and my family affectionately refer to it Inter[-]hole2. I read reviews about this place before i went and was worried about some of the reviews but decided to take them at face value and make up my own mind after my stay. All I can say is that the people who gave this place a favourable review seriously need to go to the Doctors (to have their head examined) and an Optician(to have their eyes tested). I dont mean to be derogatory about other people but this place needs to be demolished and if it was rebuilt it would be a good idea to rename it as well. From the outside looks fairly acceptable (lulled into a false sense of security) Reception area bit grubby and uncomfortable seats, still 2 weeks holiday here to enjoy and make the most of it. I was asked for 60 euros deposit in case of any breakages (unusual but fair enough), I then went to our room with my family, wife and 2 kids opened room door and entered the twilight zone. I have stayed in some accommodation in Spain and Majorca and paid less money and more money on occasion but this place takes the biscuit. The room was filthy,very little cupboard space and the bathroom(well I'll go into that in more detail). the sheets and bed covering were stained and the pillows well thousands of heads must have sweated into these before they were ever cleaned. Humans hairs just appeared everywhere and the more you brushed them up the more kept appearing. I wouldnt consider myself to be a fussy person regarding holiday apartments but this place was downright disgusting. The kitchen as it is consisted of 2 rings (were the indicator light was constantly lit even when turned off), a small fridge from the 1960s that was also dirty, a kettle and a broken toaster. Utensils 4 knives and forks 4 spoons and a pot with no handle( which makes heating things a little bit more difficult). The electrics are definately dodgy ours kept tripping and half the sockets in the room didnt work I complained about this and someone came up to look at it he shrugged his shoulders couldnt speak a word of english and then left, returning 5 mins later with a toaster.The next day the same person was cleaning out the pool, jack of all trades master of none. It was pointless complaing to reception or our rep as they just did not want to know. The bathroom apart from the mould on the shower curtain, the thick layers of dust on the T/roll holder, dirty mirror the major problem was when flushing the toilet, it flushed alright(good) but it took the cistern 12 hours to refill and the noise of the water refilling was unbearable so much so i resorted to emptying water into the toilet instead of flushing it. I was concerned about ants but had no trouble on that front as they must have stayed here before and warned all their relatives to stay well clear. Noise was also a problem with I think 8 french girls staying next door in a 4 bed apartment going just nuts all night, i understand the hotel cannot really be blamed for this but as always the staff just didnt want to know. We met people as were out and about, a lot of these inquired were you staying when told Inter2 there was a pause then OH Right!! I know your holiday not just about your apartments and it is what you make of it yourself and i can say that Salou is a nice resort with some real nice areas although a bit dirty (understandable with the amount of tourists there) but first impressions last and the Inter2 made a lasting impression which took the shine off of our holiday. This may have been a 3 star hotel when first opened but has obviously been in decline. My advice stay well clear and have nice time when visiting Salou some nice restaurants Guinness tavern comedy bar and grill Mushavis and a must is ice cream parlour Fargii s by the beach.

Aug 2008, Miss

Just got back from holiday at internacional II... the hotel was great for me and 3 friends. Girly holiday and very close to beach, bars, clubs. The lifts are a bit old and the security also a bit weird, sometimes knocking very late at night for some very silly reasons, also caught right outside our room one night. Apart from that very cheap and cheerful, we had a great holiday :)

Wouldnt Reccomend This Hotel!!!
Me My Huspand And My 3 Kids Had A Last Miniute Booking Here At New Year. We Arivved At The Hotel At 1.30 In The Morning. We Had 2 Rooms As There Was 5 Of Us. On The Mans Paper It Had Gibb Twice For Two Rooms But He Was Tellin Us That There Was Only 1 Room.
We Had To Go In This Other Room For The Night Untill He Got It Sorted It Was The Most Dirtyest Room EVER. In The Bathroom There Was Hairs Down The Sink In The Bath There Was Sharp Eges Stiking Out. The Bath was basicly Fallin Apart. So The next Morning We Get The Two Keys For Our Proper Rooms Me And My Two Daugters We Walked In And There Was
A Cleaners Trolley In The Middle Of The Floor. Butt The Man At The Desk Said It Was Ready
We Went In To The Other Appartment And Its Was Fine But The Beds Wernt Made. Abouslute Joke. There Was Wild Cats All Over Going In To The Pool Drinking Out Of The Pool
Trust Me I Wouldnt Go Here

Myself and 2 friends stayed in...
10 / 10
Jul 2008, Miss F Mc Cawley

Myself and 2 friends stayed in International II for two weeks and found the whole experience brilliant. Check in only took a few minutes and we were shown to our room, we were given a ground floor studio and wer not happy at first but we were told that they were completely booked out, but we had a large area out the back with a table and chairs and soon we were glad about being on the ground floor.
The apartment was spotless, nothin was broke, the bathroom was spotless, the bed clothes was crisp and clean and we were exteremly happy with everything. We wer given clean towels and toilet roll every two days and the bed sheets were changed once in the two weeks. The beds and sofa bed in particular was very comfortable!! We could not complain about the room.
The hotel was basic and clean but for the price it was good value for money. The food in the hotel was lovely and reasonable and im a student!!! The pool was lovely, clean and cool(i dont know who would want a heated pool in the middle of July) and there was loads of sun loungers for free around the pool
The entertainment in the hotel wasnt brilliant but it was fun and thats all you want on holidays, for a few hours every day there was music at the pool, provided by the lovely Tom and there was also entertainment in the evenings but we only heard it went we were gettin ready but it always seemed like fun. There was loads of good places to eat close to the hotel and the nightlife was brilliant.
There was a beautiful little beach just 2 minutes to the left of the apartments (lots of steps though, but its beautiful) and all the main pubs and clubs were less than 10 minutes stroll away and the main beach was about 10 minutes stroll away also. While we wer in Salou we never seen any trouble or heard of any either. We found Salou to be very safe.
I would definately recommend Salou to family and friends. Some places you should definatey visit, Port Aventura - brilliant even if you dont want to go on the rides, but the rides are amazing, go during the week as it it much quieter and definately go and see all the shows and you can but the pictures of yourdelf on the rides (priceless) and its only about 15 minutes away, Aqua Polis (water park) small but very good and a dolphin and seal show is included and u can get pictures taken with the seals and its only about 20 minutes away, Barcleona is brilliant although there is lots of walking but it is a beautiful city, Gaudi Cathedral is beautiful and loads of othe things to see, Charlie Chaplins Bar is brilliant with loads of different entertainment, male strippers, hypotmists, wet t-shirt compititions, lovely staff, brilliant music (tony the dj brilliant) and just loads of fun, Murphys Irish pub brilliant aswel, Danny Boys do lovely food. Overall i would definately recommend Salou and would definately go back!!
Most of the other reviews seem terrible but i definately could not complain about International II and im not easily pleased!! Its only 2 hours 20 minutes flight. Salou and International II definately worth a visit.

Jul 2008, Miss S Elloway

Dont listen to all the awful reviews on here sayin the international 2 is the worst holiday, under no circumstances go there etc. This is all rubbish i have just returned from the inter 2 after a wks stay and i was impressed. After going on this website i was worried as this holiday had been a last minute think for me and a mate to get away but when i arrived i was plesantly suprised. The front of the hotel was very clean and welcoming staff very pleasant, rooms basic but clean. This hotel is in ideal location short stroll from beach and bars and restaurants. The maid service was very good think there was only 1 day out of the week they didnt come to clean the room. Only problem i had with this hotel was the towels were only changed twice.
The reviews that mention Irish are correct, there are a lot of Irish people in this hotel and they are very annoyin. Before i came away i loved the Irish accent after a week of listening to it i cant stand it.
All in all this was a very good holiday, entertainment brilliant and lots for kids. Im even thinking bout pricing up for next yr and bringing my daughter along.

We went to the Internacional II for a week in july and found the hotel clean and tidy, check in was a bit slow but that is the spanish for you,on arival we were told you have to leave 100 euro deposit for the room on top of paying for the room in full, the room service could have been beter only having the maids in 1 time the whole week, the hotel carried good information on what there is to do in the area and staff are polite as an overall view on this hotel i would stay here again

Jul 2008, Miss G King

After reading the reviews i was a bit worried about staying at this hotel, but on arrival it looked like a nice place, our room was clean and we had clean towels 3/4 days,
the entertainment in the hotel did'nt start until about 11.30am which i did'nt think was a bad time really, pool was nice but like someone has said the hard plastic beds were not the most comfiest, but they were free.
Beach was nice but at 8 euros for 2 beds this can soon mount up.
We made our own way to hotel which cost us 35 euros going and 30 euros returning.
Salou does have plenty of bars and places to eat but like another review has stated not many nice restaurants you do struggle if you are after something nicer.
The comedy bar did a lovely mini grill, and homemade chips, worth a vist, we did find a nice italian restaurant down a side street oposite a place called equus, cannot remember name of it now though, also uncle sam's very nice, there chicken fajita's and cajun chicken was lovely, very big meals though so watch if you have a starter we struggled to get through half our meal.
Overall Salou is a nice place and great short flight and transfer but would say its more family orientated apart from some places being a bit hilly.

Jun 2008, Ms 4 And 4 Demby

On arrival the placed seemed very nice.As we lined up to check in it took over a good forty five mintues ,which the kids were moany and screaming which took way to long.when we entered the appartments i exspected them to be a bit bigger,but they were clean,tidy and had air conditioning which was fine!
The cleanin staff were very rude though and were not obligant to do anything to help you.Are apartments were cleaned four times in to weeks and we had to complain about the bed sheets not been changed atall.The other staff where very friendly and helpfull although!
The entertainment was brill!It keep the kids amoused all trough the day !And they loved it!the food and drink was at reasonable prices also!
Into the second week of are holiday we were truley enjoyin it !we had a ball!the kids even cryed when they had to go home !
The only thing i would warn about is that some of the male staff are i bit pervy at times !
overall we had a great time at internacional !And are heading back in two weeks time !
i would recomend it to everyone !

May 2008, Miss S P

I just went to International II this weeking with a couple of friends for a birthday party.
the hotel was a bit grubby and even though the entertainment was a bit dodgy it was fun and we had a laugh. there was a games room and some computers which was good for us.
Lots of restaurants and shops near. the Italian down the road is good if you are looking for a proper meal and portaventura is really near. we went there and it was great
the hotel could have been better but i would still probably go back
