Golden Playa Park Hotel Salou

We have just returned from 2 weeks at the playa park and had little to complain about. The staff were great, the kids clubs were really good and the hotel was clean and well looked after. Our complaints would be the food seemed to get worse the longer we were there. The pool was unbearably good, I mean freezing cold. My 4 year old was blue after about 20 minutes so we spent more time at the beach - a small one 10 minutes and 80 steps away was lovely a lot quieter than the main beach much easier to watch young children. We also had tickets to port aventura theme park which was brilliant loads of different things to do and see most rides are a bit big for younger children so you have to get on with them, but the shows are amazing - a must see.

This hotel is brilliant, do not hesitate to book.... amazing value for money. The rooms are clean with excellent views over the sea. The entertainment is excellent and the staff were so helpful. Everything is so close with a beach 2 mins away and the main centre a mere 5-10 minute walk. Only had the food there one night and it was good. There is a bus stop right outside and this takes you to Aquapolis, one down the street takes you to Port Aventura... and coming back you can get off the bus right outside the hotel. The street is literally round the corner from the hussle and bussle but far enough away to be quiet enough. The shops and bars/restraunts up and down the street the hotel is on are great especially 'Richards Tavern' where we ate most of the time, excellent prices and excellent food. I honestly cannot fault one thing about this hotel...

The hotel was clean, well located and served a good variety of food. However, a major loophole in the hotel's security procedures tainted my holiday. Keys were given out at request, requiring no proof of identification. During my stay, a high number of thefts took place, including 60 Euros from my room, jewelery, an ipod, a mobile phone and a wallet from others. When we complained, hotel staff treated as a matter of insignificance, we were told it "was not there problem". On my last night at Salou, the spare key to my room was given out to an unknown person. This was clearly very upsetting, resulting in my roommates and I feeling very unsafe.

This was the first time my boyfriend & i went for a half board hotel, it was totally worth the extra £10 each for the week, the food was fantastic, fresh, fully stocked & friendly staff. The hotel was kept very clean, staff were very help full & the entertainment was great. Highly recommened to all.

This is the third time I have visited this hotel. It gets better every year. No problem with groups of young people. Rooms are cleaned everyday. Food is always of a high standard and plenty to go round. Beach just outside the hotel. Shop’s a 5 min walk. No noise at night. I would say a family hotel lots to do for children and adults. Two nice sized swimming pools. Plenty of tables and chairs to sit around. Schools seem to use this hotel to take groups of children to but in the 3 years I've been going not had no problems with them. Teachers sit on landing all night to make sure they don’t roam the hotel. Better behaved than some adults. Can’t wait till October till I go back.
