" The apartments were very clean and... "
Submitted By: Ms S Driscoll
The apartments were very clean and spacious. The staff were a little offish at times, but this would'nt spoil a holiday there. The entertainment was excellant. The fire alarm was set off by a woman who had had a little to much to drink, we were slightly concerned that the staff did not alert us and vacant the hotel. But overall we had a brilliant time met some lovely people and would go back.

" DONT BELIEVE THE COMMENTS MADE ABOUT... "
Submitted By: Miss H HUDSON
DONT BELIEVE THE COMMENTS MADE ABOUT SUNCLUB I WOULDNT GO THERE EVER AGAIN! THE STAFF OUR VERY UNFRIENDLY AND AS FOR THE FOOD ME AND MY BOYFRIEND ATE IN THERE TWICE AND WERE STUCK DOWN WITH FOOD POISONING. THE FIRE ALARMS WERE SET OFF BY SOME DRUNKEN WOMAN AND THE HOTEL DIDNT EVEN COME KNOCKING ON OUR DOOR TO EVACUATE US. THE POOL WAS VERY COLD YOU WOULD FREEZE IN THERE, THE ENTERTAINMENT AT SUNCLUB WAS THE ONLY THING THAT KEPT ME GOING, HAPPY HOUR IS BETWEEN THE HOURS OF 7 -8PM BUT THE LAGER IS WATERED DOWN TAKE YOUR OWN FROM THE LOCAL SUPERMARKET ITS MUCH CHEAPER. SALOU TOWN WAS VERY BUSY BUT ITS THE SAME THING NIGHT AFTER NIGHT AND VERY EXPENSIVE, IF YOU ARE A LIVERPOOL SUPPORTER THEN A VISIT TO SHANKLEYS BAR IS A MUST THE STAFF ARE FRIENDLY & WELCOMING THE BAR ITSELF IS A SHRINE OF LFC ITS AMAZING !!!!!!!!! BUT OVERALL ID NEVER GO BACK TO SALOU.

" My wife, daughter, neice and I stayed... "
Submitted By: Mr E Larkin
My wife, daughter, neice and I stayed for 2 weeks was very good staff where very helpful. I ended up playing water polo everyday as most of the kids enjoyed it rather than killer pool. The first choice reps do a splendid job to keep everyone happy and work really hard same as the other staff. The room was clean and tidy. I would recommend that you bring tea and coffee with you. A kettle is better still as it takes a long time to boil water using the hob kettle which is supplied.
Cap Salou is resonable for foor and the quality is excellant. We found that the Paddock was good for eating out.
You must visit Kims Kareoke in Micky's bar.
Overall the Sun Club was excellent. They have a contract that everyone must sign on arrival and one of the rules is no booking of the sun loungers by placing your towels on them then leaving. This rule is not enforced and many where doing just that.
Thanks to all the First Choice Reps for all the good time that we had and we would certainly go there again.
There was glass in the pool but we cant blame the hotel all the time. When we where there, there where some older children drunk and making fools of themselves. I blame the parents for not having control.
It is a good idea to get a second door key from the reception for 3 euros that way your children wont be coming after you all the time when they want to go back and forth to the room.
I hope you will go again and if you remember me from July drop me a line and perhaps we could arrange to meet up again next year.

" Having read some of the comments left... "
Submitted By: Mrs J Presland
Having read some of the comments left for the sunclub i was really worried what the hotel would be like. TAKE NO NOTICE of bad comments. We have just returned from a week there and loved it. Hotel and rooms were clean, staff friendly and the cleaners are lovely.
Salou is very expensive, bus fares and soft drinks cost a fortune. The theme park and water parks are amazing. We would definately stay in Salou again but would try to stay someone half board or all inclusive as the food and drinks are just so expensive.

" Stayed here for 1 week with my... "
Submitted By: Miss Y Durham
Stayed here for 1 week with my partner and 16 yr old son. The apartments are really big and very clean, had hairdryer, tv, toaster, microwave, large clothes dryer on balcony, coathangers in wardrobes.
All staff very friendly and helpful. Maid service came in every day to empty bins and once during the week to change bedlinen/towels.
Location is ideal for getting to waterparks and Port Aventura as the bus stop is just outside and buses run every 10/20 mins throughout the day/night.
Cap Salou is a v. small resort and is v. hilly the little beach is only 5 mins away but is very steep to get down to. I have MS and found getting around the resort pretty difficult because it's so hilly.
We ate in most of the local restaurants and have no complaints whatsoever. Staff and food at Knights Inn recommended.
Only downside to Sunclub is the hotel opposite is v. noisy with loud music and annoying guy on PA system playing from 10am to midnight every day. We asked for groundfloor apartment which are actually downstairs, so not v. useful. The pool table and table tennis are directly outside the groundfloor apartment balconies, so be prepared for some noise at night.
We didn't go to the pool area, but it seemed v. clean, loads of sunbeds available.
Handy hints: There's no duty free when you arrive at Reus but the smoking room in the bar area at Sunclub has a vending machine selling packs of 20 and 200 for duty free prices - tobacco can be bought from reception.
Keep an eye on your posessions - we had our bag stolen from the beach - it was next to the sunbeds and we were all sitting there - v. clever!
We had a great holiday, but wouldn't go back only because it's a difficult resort for me to get around.

" Dirty, Overpriced, run down, loud,... "
Submitted By: Ms N O Sullivan
Dirty, Overpriced, run down, loud, Absolutely awful!!!!!!
When we arrived (2 adults, 13yr old, 8 yr old and 6 month old), we were requested to pay €100 deposit!!, €50 for safety deposit box, plus more if we wanted extra towel or linen changes.
The apartment was filthy, had to clean it, the floor had not been washed after the previous occupants. The entertainment went onto 1/1.30 AM, very loud, and it was directly below us, our children were therfore up until this time playing cards as they could not get to sleep, who could!! The surrounding area was also very loud, with entainment from other hotels that could be clearly heard until the early hours.
During the two weeks we were there, the floors were not cleaned by the maid, the linen was only changed twice, we asked for a third change (these were the only three times the beds were dressed) and the towels were rarely changed also. The only thing the maid did was empty the rubbish. I didnt pay €2400 to clean floors and dress beds during my 2 week holiday, I do that the other 50 weeks of the year!!!
Althougth there is a television as advertised, there are no channels at all. The babys cot was filthy, you could see the handprints of suncream from previous users. The room was tiny, very claustrophobic.
The pool area was dirty, although the pool looked clean, it was too cold to swim. The sun loungers were broken and very dangerous with their jagged edges and arm rests that were barely hanging on. This is NOT a 4* accommodation, it would barely rate 2* in the UK or Ireland.
Supermarket very expensive, dearer than home, cheaper one 1 minute walk away, called Michaelanglos.
The area of Cap Salou was dirty and very expensive. Stay away from the Knights Inn, wouldn't serve the food there to a dog!!!
PortAventure was very over rated and full of very ignorant staff!!!!
The worst holiday ever, and our first bad holiday in 13 years of travelling. Never again.

" Loved our holiday at the Sun Club.... "
Submitted By: Mrs D Wilkinson
Loved our holiday at the Sun Club. Family of four, myself, husband, son aged 15 and daughter aged 12.
Our apartment was clean, spacious and had everything we needed (fridge, microwave, stove, kettle, toaster), with a larger balcony than the surrounding hotels. Hotel staff were helpful and we had no problems at all (linen changed twice a week, towels every two days and bin emptied once a day). The pool was spotlessly clean and litter free, and we had no problems getting a sunbed when we wanted one, without having to get up early to 'book' one. The food served in the hotel was good, wouldn't say it was fantastic and although not overly expensive should have been more reasonably priced. The hotel supermarket was small, but sufficient, but we walked round the corner to a larger and better priced one and could be there and back in 10 mins.
Our kids loved the pool and had a lovely time in there, it was their first question in the morning 'can we stay in the pool all day?'. The entertainment was good and easy-going, although the stage was very small and the only let down was the cost of some of the extra's, bingo at 4 euros a go, 2 euros to play pool (which soon adds up with a 15 year old!) and 1 euro for only 10 mins on the internet.
Cap Salou is a quiet area, with some nice smaller beaches and pleasant to wander round, but not much else to do. We went into Salou on quite a few evenings, which was a short bus ride away, with the bus stop right outside the hotel. This is a much busier resort and we loved it for an evening out, but we were glad we weren't staying there as we enjoyed getting back to the prettier, more relaxing Cap Salou.
We would definitely return to the SunClub, it is an excellent base for your holiday whether staying by the pool all day or as a base for exploring. The bus stop for Barcelona/La Pineda/Terragon/PortaVentura/Salou are all right by the hotel making it very easy to go anywhere.

Submitted By: Miss S McFadden
We were on holiday for 2 weeks, these apartments were great. They were very clean and the staff were very helpful, pleasant and made our holiday really nice. The Kids Club was great as we had 2 children with us. The reps were fantanstic and the children loved the activities they done. I would reccommend the kids club based on how much my 2 children loved it. The only thing I could find wrong with these appartments was the food, we ate at other resturants that were close by. The apartments, reception area, pool area and bar area were always very clean We would go back for a holiday agian.

" This location is fantastic for people... "
Submitted By: youngtraveler08
This location is fantastic for people who want a quieter holiday,it is a small village type setting close to a few fantastic bars and restaurants, although it is away form the hustle and bustle of salou ( which is more for the outgoing type holiday makers) it is in the ideal situation and it is also only a bus ride away from the fantastic port aventura theme park ( part of the universal studio team).
the hotel is ideal for families although me and my partner went as a young couple ( both in our twenties) the staff at the hotel all speak fluent English and although the hotel may seem abit cheap and cheerful you get way more than you pay for, the hotel has a park for the children, a pool, Jacuzzi, and a childrens pool, then two bars with fantastic entertainment and a adult only bar for the evenings. it also has a hotel restaurant and hotel shop which are both brilliant.. the kids club at the hotel also needs praise the reps must work very hard as there was always something going on to entertain the children, the beach is only a short walk from the hotel and the hotel also has its very own bus stop with buses passing daily to salou, cambrillis( defiantly worth going to) and port aventura. all costing 2 Euro to the destination
there is also a bus which passes everyday to Barcelona with the PLANA bus company, it is the cheapest around and much better value then the trips with holiday companies
This holiday would have been certified as a 10/10 had it not being for the appauling behaviour and attitude of the representives and transfer staff of first choice, who treat us totally different then they treat any of the familys. the rep at the hotel was rude and very offensive and the transfer and airport staff were equally as un pleasant.
if thinking of going to this resort as a younger couple i would also say at looking into the H10 hotel in cap salou which looked equally as amazing as our hotel :)
Cap salou and salou are quiet cheap to eat in and if eating in cap salou i would suggest trying smugglers cove which is a family run amazing restaurant and of course the hotel restaurant
Me and my partner both took 300 pounds each and i came home with 90 pounds, thats including my bus fares, food, drink and presents for my family and friends ( and im a big spender)
If thinking of visiting the port aventura park i would defiantly encourage buying tickets before leaving the UK via the port aventura website, it is much cheaper..
if intrested in visiting this resort i would stronglly suggest going with thomas cook who also operate this area. I hope this review has been of help to you and i hope you enjoy your time in salou if this is the destination you choose

" Stayed at the Sunclub for 1 week,... "
Submitted By: Mr T Wilson
Stayed at the Sunclub for 1 week, thank god we didnt stay for 2 weeks!
Party of 3, myself, my wife and our baby. The rooms were very dirty. My wife had to goto the supermarket to get some floor cleaner and mop the floor before we even unpacked our luggage. Very rarely did we see the maid. The towels were changed once the week we were there and beds were never changed.
This is a very noisy hotel, was wakened quite a few times in the night with kids running around and banging doors on the corridor. Also wakened our baby.
Food and alcohol is very expensive at the Sunclub. A pint of spanish beer 2.60 Euros and a packet of Walkers crisps 1.30 Euros!
The First Choice reps seemed to spend most of the day walking around trying to collect Euros for this and that. I felt like telling them can you do something with the parents and kids that doesnt involve money!!!!
Not much to do at Cap Salou only spend money in expensive bars and restaurants.
Won't be back to Sunclub or Cap Salou.
