  : The rooms were dated but clean and comfortable.The pool area was clean with plenty of sunbeds( though it was only the end of April don't know what it would be like mid summer).there was entertainment in the evening.
  : The room facilities stated we had air conditioning,when we complained that we didn't have any ( it was 24 degrees and very hot 3 or 4 nights) they first sent someone from reception who couldn't get it working so sent a maintainance man who advised we could only have hot air,this was confirmed by another staff member on reception.I asked if I could borrow an iron and ironing board I was told they had no ironing boards and it would be 10 for an iron for 3 days,I advised I only wanted it for 10 mins but 3 days was the minimum.There were no tea making facilities in the room but you could have a kettle if you were willing to pay 12 every 3 days!.The restaurant reminded us of a school canteen it was very noisy and you could hardly move around without people bumping into you.The food was okay( ish).all the hot food like beans bacon and sausage at breakfast and veg potatoes and anything other than meat being freshly cooked was cold.

  : The location is excellent! It is very near a lovely beach and within walking distance of La Pineda, which is a nice small town. There are regular buses to the nearby theme parks and the nearby town of Salou and port city of Taragona. Go to the bus office on the corner to the right of the hotel as you head towards the beach and buy a bus card. It will save you loads of money and the lady in there is really helpful. The rooms are large and relatively clean, although there was scant cleaning during our 9 night stay.
  : Well, where to start! For the first 5 days of our stay there were 200+ 8-11 year old boys staying in the hotel, which I assumed to be football teams possibly playing in a local tournament. They were horrific and made the start of our holiday absolute hell on earth. The rooms have paper thin walls and floors so you can hear everything happening on your floor as if it were happening in your room. The noise from 7ish in the morning until 1ish in the morning was totally unacceptable. We actually changed rooms during this time and it made no difference. They were very loud and badly behaved making meal times a challenge as well.The staff are generally courteous but don't expect a smile. At best you may get waved at, at worst, ignored. The only ones that stood out were the lovely ladies in the dining room that would do anything for you. Thank you ladies.The food; again, where to start... It was not great, mostly very greasy and gelatinous but worst of all, cold. Everything was cold, all the time, which is unpleasant. They do themed evening, generally quite badly. The only decent one was the Arabic night, which was amazing food. I suspect they may have Arabic chefs!The indoor pool and gym: you may expect this to be included in your stay as it is advertised as such, but this is not the case. They are in a separate building with the spa and if you want to use the gym and pool for a day it is 18 euros. Admittedly the pool area is lovely, with whirlpools and steam rooms and sauna, and the gym is well equipped, but it's still a liberty charging hotel guests to use it. The outside pool area is nice but it was too cold to swim outside during our stay.The hotel generally was very cold with most guests wearing coats in the evenings and in the restaurant. It has various entertainment shows outside in the evening, we only saw a couple but they were quite good. There are pool and table tennis tables and also a games room with air hockey, pinball etc. but it all costs...

  : Food for the breakfast was unbelievably bad
