Do not hesitate to book this hotel
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...

Security Issue
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.

Fantastic hotel, food to die for!!
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.

Great service, very nice staff
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.

Very nice!!!
I went to Salou in July 2006 with my auntie and we stayed in the Golden Playa Park and I must admit I have been to Salou for many years and stay in different hotels but for the first time ever this hotel was the best. I made friends from the hotel (bar and restaurant) and went out with three of them on the very last night, I still keep in contact so its all very good, so anyone who wants to go to Salou, its a dream and stay in the golden playa park because there is lots to do like chilling by both pools and listening to the children enjoy themselves at there very own parties!!!
