I stayed at this hotel at the end of August - beginning of September.
The territory of the hotel is made cool - it is large, which is not typical for Spanish hotels, a lot of greenery, beautiful ponds... And they really had free entry to the beach club. But only a person with the nerves of an elephant can get to this club! A train goes there, because you can’t get there on foot, according to the schedule, the train goes every 45 minutes (well, or 25 minutes, we didn’t understand). But the fact is that he just doesn’t adhere to the schedule... You arrive 5 minutes before the appointed time, but it turned out that the train is already bye-bye... and a large crowd of tourists is waiting under the hotel, like a herd of idiots, the next one...
You can, of course, go to the city beach, it's about 20 minutes on foot, but only after that you vow to rest only in Turkey!

The cleanliness of the hotel is really a nightmare! There were no stains on the towels, and our room was cleaned regularly, but not a single rag of the world touched the stairs in the building! As on our first day there were stains from various liquids and feces, so they safely spent a whole week on the cozy steps of the stairs. Although no, I’m lying, by the end of the week they were thrown from above with garbage, since this staircase also does not know the broom in person.
Nutrition.
The breakfasts are terrible. It looks like food, but you try it - no, it's not...
There is no lunch, but this is not a problem, as there are plenty of restaurants.
Dinners are awesome! I have never eaten as many high-end cheeses in my life as I did in a week at this hotel. Wine in Spain is cheap and very cool.
And they have potatoes all tasteless! Glory to Ukraine and its potatoes!
In short, for the decor of the hotel 10 points, cleanliness 5, food - breakfast 3, dinner 10.
But the main attraction of Salou is the amusement park PortAventura, a kind of Spanish Disney Land. You can use your hotel keys to enter the park for free, plus express tickets to popular attractions, which is very important, because even a person with elephant nerves will not stand in line for the rides, here you need the nerves of a boa constrictor! Approximately half an hour each, and it's already the low season!
Although, in principle, PortAventura park is very interesting, especially if you are with children.
Of the excursions, we chose bullfighting and "Barcelona + Aquarium + Singing Fountains".
As for bullfighting, I certainly knew that bulls were killed there, but I couldn’t imagine that it was so creepy. If you are not a bloody maniac, then you better watch a bullfight on TV.
And now about "Barcelona + Aquarium + Singing Fountains".
Barcelona is something! Beautiful, stylish, inimitable, check it out! Well, the masterpieces of architecture - this is understandable, after all, Gaudi is not Khukhr-Mukhr for you... And 3 completely naked men were slowly walking right along the main street, and they didn’t have anything for it! Can you imagine naked men on Khreshchatyk???
Regarding the aquarium - if you were in Egypt, there is nothing to see in the aquarium, the same fish, plus a couple of sharks.
But the singing fountains are a complete scam. There is one big fountain, and it does not sing to the music, but lives its own life: the music is separate, the fountain is separate.

Z. Y. Here, one friend previously wrote a review and drew a photo of a peeled palm tree, and so there is no such palm tree in the hotel - I was specifically looking for greenery in the hotel with a bang!
