- Room
the room had a decent size, but it was not too big. The furniture was modern and up-to-date, we had even a large flat screen Tv. Problem here: there were only five channels... (why do you need a big tv?).
The beds unfortunately we were very hard and without slatted frame (thus like ibis hotels), which took some getting used to.
The walls are thin that, we noticed especially in the morning, if there are a lot of people are left to volume and in the adjoining Rooms or the hallways had. Partly this was very unpleasant. At night we had never problems with the clairaudience.
The terrace was not very big, but good enough for two people.
- Gastronomy
The breakfast and dinner in the hotel's own Restaurant, where the atmosphere is more like a cafeteria. In the reviewer's opinion, the dining room with additional tables'lumbered' was, in order rush Mr to.
There are two meal times for dinner: 19 o'clock and 20:30 o'clock. Everyone got the first meal default at the Check-in assigned. We could only with a lot of effort to 20:30 o'clock change... (well, that we speak spanish ☺ </notran).
Selection of the food was always plentiful and was mostly good to very good. Especially the fresh meat every day, that directly in front of the eyes of a chef prepared, was very good.
Selection in the rough in the evening: antipasti (sausage), salad buffet, meat, fish, vegetables, casserole, various (often unidentifiable), paella, pasta, fruit buffet, desserts buffet.
Also there was actually every ' day something else.
Really very good: the extensive dessert buffet( very recommendable the rake ☺ </notran).
Unfortunately, however, was not always fresh fruit (especially the pineapple) and therefore partly only with caution.
We have also noticed, that it on time for the start of the mega-high season 01 August less on diversity of food and beverage choices were the days before and the dining room was still full.
You shouldn't be late, because the staff already started 15 minutes before 22 o'clock with the clean-up.
The breakfast was likewise extensive (size: american buffet), on the quality of the food also be improved. It is for example the unidentifiable sausage and usually see unappetizing from... We also have an individual making for example Omelet missed, like we it from other four stars Hotels in spanish.
Also could be improved: the Pulver-Coffee, as well as the preparation of milk from milk powder (must be?) in the coffee machine.
At breakfast there was almost no Variety in the food.
A breakfast until 10:30 and eleven o'clock desirable (10 o'clock is sometimes very early...)
We would generally say, however, that the half board but was a good choice, it is not proper in salou choices of food (the most only tourist service).
- Service
The friendliness of the staff unfortunately not very in the face.
English language skills are by no means standard and the front desk only the most necessary conversation. Best statement at the Check on the question, whether the room calm :' our walls are paper-thin. You may here everything '. Then...
The staff in the restaurant was not better. Very silent and unfriendly (but maybe due to the season, where the hotel was quite crowded).
The maid service was always friendly, but had a weird cleaner style, all personal belongings somewhere hinzuverräumen ( for example everything was thrown from the cupboard into the drawers; personal toiletries in the wash bag vereilt etc...). We found that not so great.
Further bad: the room safe cost 17 euros a week. With a four stars Hotel in our opinion, this should be included in the price.
- Sport & Entertainment
- Hotel
The hotel is a four stars Hotel according to spanish standards and has six floors, as well as 247 rooms. It was completely renovated in 2005 and is therefore in a very good, modern condition. The hotel is l-shaped laid out, which is located on the inner part of the l' s hotel's own Pool is.
The general cleanliness we could find no faults (we used it except the lobby and the dining room no further public rooms).
We had booked half board, but it could also, of course, only breakfast, as well as full board can be booked.
Guest structure: mainly Dutch and French, the rest spanish. A Few German. In principle, all ages (from young couples to retirees).
- Location
The hotel is in principle a good location, not directly on a main or tourist road, which is why we had chosen (many hotels in salou beach chairs directly on busy streets or in front of the pedestrian zone, where the whole night on loud).
We had a room at a place out, under which underground car park (the short part of the l' s). Surrounding are apartment blocks, however, which in the main season are full to bursting.
Accordingly loud it can be so, if all of the surrounding balconies to sit outside (the apartment blocks are in very popular youth travel's groups). We heard the directly adjoining hotels' olympus palace ' from the balcony and could see right on the pool.
Alternatively there are rooms with view to the hotel-pool (room so in the inner part of the l 's), where it but activities, or in the direction of' backyard ' with a view of buildings( back Part of the long part of the l' s).
But let us not forget, that the rooms on the side, which we had, together with one of the upper Floors, probably the best choice (but also in the other rooms of the hotel are other hotels in the area to lengths).
At night we had never had any problems with noise, except for early in the morning by the hotel itself (see below).
