i thought the hotels location was amazing we had a sea view which was breath taking, the pool entertainment was great and the food was nice with a wide variety, our family really enjoyed our stay there, 1 complaint i didnt think the staff were as friendly or helpfull as other hotels iv been too, but over all its a lovely hotel, an i probably would stay there again given the chance.

The view was excellent, staff were exceptionally pleasing, especially the barmen..
There is a beach right at the back of the hotel & a bus stop which was very helpfull, as we had tickets to Puerta Ventura.
The indoor pool was very interesting, even more interesting when one of the barmen showed it us personally...
;)
The food wasn't all that exciting for me, although I am a picky eater.
The waiters were friendly and helpful.
The hotel is also situated near to various pubs & a petrol station, and only a bus ride away from Salou and the famous club "Snoepys".
My friend & I thouroughly enjoyed our holiday & the accomodation, and will be returning at some point without a doubt.
ENJOY!

we were a family of four 2 adults and 2 children aged 18months and 5. we booked this hotel based on the advice of thomas cook travel agents and were extremly dissappointed. First of all after we booked we found that there was a railway line outside the hotel going by google earth but the travel agent said there wasnt. When we arrived at the hotel the inital view wasnt bad. It was clean and tidy,The reception was english speaking and you had to pay 2.50e a day for our safe. Our room however was a bit cramped but we had a large balcony which was good for the children.As we got settled we heard this large rumbling sound we looked out our door to discover a high speed train going down the track which was just opposite our hotel and best of all it blew its horn everytime it went by.
We also found that the entertainment was not suitable for any of our children as it was all in spanish which was really hard for our 5year old to understand.Even the evening entertainment was in spanish.
The food which was being served was ok for adults it was a bit of a mismash of every country you could imagine.The childrens menu was very disappointing we had to take our children to the nearest restaurant so they could have some food that they could eat.
Overall this was a really disappointing stay at this hotel even though we have travelled to salou for the past 5 years this stay has put us of going back.

We had no idea what we had booked but needed a cheap fast get away, and what a gem we discovered, you can relax under an awning on the beach and snorkel around the rocks, or hire a scooter for the week in town which was a little expensive but how convenient, fuel cost was next nothing could park it anywhere and the sign posting was ok around the town. Plenty to do including the water park which had sealions you can swim with $45 compared to £200 in florida!. Fountains to play with in town or stay in the hotel and get free fairly good entertainment. Food was very exceptable, one of the few buffet style meals i,ve had and enjoyed. The staff were all very polite and helpful. Thank you maritim princess a very nice and competitivly priced surprise.

The hotel is situated on a busy main road on the front but to the rear opens straight out onto the beach. Try to get a sea view room. Rooms clean. Pool good size plenty of sunbeds. Reception staff were helpful. Didnt see the airtours rep all week.
Food was ok if you like buffet style which we dont so we ate out a few nights walk out the hotel turn left there are plenty of restaurants and a big supermarket about 200mts away.
We spent most evenings in a pub called Pure Genius as they had entertainment and the food was excellent.
Make sure you go to port aventura we had a wonderful day out there. Better value to buy the 14day pass in advance in the UK its the same price as a 3day pass when you get here.

Stayed for a week, room was lovely and clean ideal for just the 2 of us, paid extra for the safe - but well worth it at only 2.5euros a day.
Food was good although mainly fish/shellfish pork, beef, chicken also avail for dinner. Breakfast had plenty choices cereal, cooked, fruit. Only thing they need to sort is the coffee was horrible.

The pool was very cold but was cleaned early every day as was the whole poolside area, plenty sunbeds and umbrellas, pool showers and toilets. Poolside bar/snackbar was good very friendly helpful staff like the rest of the hotel staff - nothing was a problem to them.

Well situated between Cambrils and Salou, it was quiet but near everything if you wanted it. I am going to go back again and would have no problems recommending this hotel to anybody.

Having read reviews on the Maritim Princess and the resort we were expecting a good holiday...we were not disappointed.
My husband and my two boys aged 10 & 8 had a fantastic time. The hotel was spotless with friendly lifeguard, waiters, and reception staff.
The girls in the kids club deserve a medal - they were fantastic. the children loved the pool and the easy access at the back of the hotel onto the beach.
We found a fantastic shop (turn right out of the front entrance) for the lads football strips. the shopkeeper helped them pick players names for their kits! The bus stop right outside the door was perfect for buses to Salou and port Aventura.
The meals in the restaurant were lovely with something for everyone every night. The kids loved the buffet service and the show chef cooking pasta and omelettes for breakfast.
Salou itself is worth a visit though it is very busy. We went on the Thomsons trip to Barcelona (Football & fountains) which was amazing and had something for the whole family.
We are already saving up for next year and can't wait to go back.

We stayed (Fiancée and child) from 11/08-25/08.
Upon arrival if you want a safe you will have to pay 2.50 euros per day for it and 5.50 euros for a fridge as they don’t come in the rooms as standard. So a total of 112.00 euros before your holiday begins.
The Gym/indoor pool is also 4 euros for half day entry - which I thought really poor and a complete rip off.
Location wise it is good, far enough from Salou to avoid the chavs and not to far (45 mins walk) to Cambrils to amuse you on the rainy days (of which we had 5). The bins on the streets often overflow with rubbish littering the street and a stench that would drive the rats out of the sewers.
The hotel itself was very clean and maid service was reasonable good - making beds and changing towels daily - but the room itself was very small with claustrophobic balconies. The food is certainly geared towards the Spanish and the surprisingly high number of Russians and/or Baltic state people.
There is plenty of fish and pasta and ringed, fried potato things that they qualify as their potato portion for the evening. About 3 times per week they may do chicken or turkey or pork. After one week of the food we just had to go elsewhere (Queens, Mucky Duck, Pig & Whistle, Railway Tavern - all of which are in close proximity to hotel).
Pool areas are good and clean but water is freezing. The beach is directly opposite perimeter wall, but I would not bother.....it is shale, cigarettes, general rubbish. On the first day we went their - it was very overcast - all jelly fish were washing up on it....not too good for a 4 year - needless to say we were not back!!
I thought I was not a fussy person until the end of the 2 weeks I realised the food was mediocre, the weather was mediocre, the immediate area is dirty (certainly out the front of the hotel), railway line across the road with frequent traffic, beach mediocre!! I would not recommend the resort or the hotel to be honest as I would not go back to either.

Having read reviews before booking this hol with my husband, 10 & 8 yr old sons and my parents I was hoping for a good hol. We had a fantastic time. the hotel was perfect for all of us-kids club, peaceful areas around the pool, food excellant and something for everyone. the rooms were clean and the beds made every day. towels changed if you wanted them to be(leave them on the floor). 1 child on campbed in each room so a little cramped but ok. Bus stop out side the front dr to Salou,Port Aventura and Tarragona(dont do Tarr. in heat of the day-vvv hot) Ltd parasols at hotel so we bought at shop next dr for 7 euros. Queens pub just down the rd. run by lovely welsh lady-proper eng pub-quiz nights and kids games room. Fab shop 2 mins walk sells footie tops-v helpful shop keeper prints names and no.s - about 35 euros for top or a full last season kit with name etc. Didn't get into Cambils. Salou is 10 mins on bus or 30 min walk along the beach. We did the Thomsons trip to Barcelona-Nou Camp & fountains-excellent value-something for everyone. We would definately stay at this hotel again-loved it and all v sad to leave.

We loved our time in this hotel, staff very friendly the rooms were clean and more than basic.
The pool was clean the food was good, just not enough choices for British people it caters towards other nationality's.
We also enjoyed spending our nights at the pub the queen’s great entertainment, food and the owners and staff very friendly. The entertainment at the hotel very poor.
Great for the water parks and Barcelona would recommend this hotel.
