Pineda Park

Just back from a weeks stay and found the apartments very pleasant. We arrived early as our flight was at 6am, check in is normally 5pm but after about 30 mins wait we were in our room by around 10.30am which was brilliant. Nice spacious apartment with a massive balcony, extremely comfortable beds and pillows. Large f/freezer in kitchen which was great. Good pub style restaurant downstairs with lovely food and drinks. Entertainment most evenings, the Beatles act particularly good. Pool was nice but no easy access just the ladders to get in and out which was a bit of a struggle with a dodgy knee. All staff were very pleasant and helpful. We got the bus to salou and cambrils a couple of times as not an awful lot around the complex. Definately a pleasant stay and great having the two bedrooms.

We recently returned from a week at Pineda Park apartments as a family of four with older teenagers. Reception staff very friendly and efficient. Please be aware a 100€ deposit is required at check in, this was refunded to my card within 24hrs of departure. 24hr reception available. Check in 5pm/check out 10am. Late check out charges upto 150 euros subject to room availability. We felt this was expensive in comparison to other places we have stayed. You can use the facilities after check out if you have a late pick up time and there is a luggage store at the side of reception, along with changing rooms with shower facilities and sinks by the outdoor pool table which were clean. The 2 bed apartments are larger than average with an ensuite bathroom to the master bedroom and a shower room opposite the twin room. Showers worked well but be warned, you may run out of hot water if all guests have a longer shower one after the other. A spacious living space with a TV, 3-seater basic sofa, sideboard and full size dining table. The kitchen is well-equiped with a fridge freezer, hob, oven (one shelf), a kettle and a toaster. The balcony was very spacious, with table and chairs provided, along with a clothes airer. Rooms are only cleaned once during a 7 night stay. Towels changed every 2 days. 1 toilet roll provided for each toilet and these were only replenished on the cleaning day. I've stayed in 2, 3, 4 and 5 star accommodation before and based on past experience would have thought rooms be cleaned more often and adequate toilet rolls provided/replaced for the full stay. You are also asked to remove your own rubbish and place it in the large bins on the street which is unusual for a 4-star establishment. Air con worked well but will automatically shut off when windows or doors open, or when the room card is removed. A safety deposit box is available at a charge of 5€ per night, I'd expect this to be included in the cost of accommodation at this star rating. Other places just take a refundable deposit for safe return of the key. CCTV is on throughout the complex but like others have said the patio door onto the balcony did not lock! Inside the complex everywhere is spotless. There's a small games room with most games costing 1€ and pool tables 2€ (only 1€ coins accepted). Outside there's a basic playground for younger children. The pool is open 9am - 8pm, although it can get a bit crowded you can usually get some sunbeds as most people removed their towels when they left for a while. Quite a few sunbeds are getting ready for replacement, with fabric wearing thin and back rests broken. Chemicals are added every evening but we rarely saw the pool area being swept or mopped and one day it was full of leaves and debri from the storm the night before. Bar staff are polite and friendly. Breakfast was OK (full breakfast 11.5€, continental 10€) but lunch meals very disappointing and overpriced for the quality. Large draught beer only 4€. Cocktails 10€

Lovely hotel just a couple of things that let it down. We had a hire car for the week and the hotel charged us 13 Euro per day so 91 Euro for the week to park in their underground car park, which is excessive for a hotel guest! There is no mention of this charge on their website or on EasyJet holidays website. Unfortunately, the street parking is only free between 9pm - 10am. We only had maid service once whilst we were there and also we had to empty our own bins over the road, we were given no bin liners and had to ask for additional toilet rolls.

My husband and I have just returned from a week at Pineda Park and what a great time we had. We were the first to be dropped off from Reus airport, about a 15/20 minute coach journey. The hotel staff were welcoming and efficient. The apartment was clean and spacious with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a separate kitchen and a living area. The balcony was also a great size and we had a pool view. There's 2 pools, 1 small one for younger children and the main pool which was lovely, and the perfect temperature to cool off from the sun. There was plenty of sun loungers and no matter what time of day we went to the pool there was always loungers available. The beach is about a 5 minute walk and we went daily for a walk along it as it's a beautiful beach. There's lots of restaurants nearby and every meal we ordered was lovely. The Waterfront Irish bar's food was delicious, we paid approximately 35 euros for 2 meals with drinks and this was the same in most of restaurant we went to. La Pineda feels very safe and is a great place for families, there's a water park there but we didn't go so can't comment on how good it is. Tip - the air con in the apartment only works if all the external doors are closed. Overall, we felt very relaxed and didn't want to return home! we would definitely book again, highly recommended.

This was by far one of my favourite holidays and a lot of that was down to these apartments. The rooms are really spacious and having 2 bathrooms (in a 2 bed apartment) was a great bonus. They are exceptionally clean - not just the apartment itself but also the pool, bar and all communal areas. The staff very all really lovely - especially Mansa (?) who organised most of the entertainment as well as the 2 evening bar staff sorry I didnt get your names). The entertainment was quiet some nights which is to be expected when you are out of season but alot of effort was still put into providing it. There was a mini disco eavh evening as well as bingo and or quizzes. Earlier in the evening there was crafts, facepainting/tattoos, billards, archery etc. The area itself was so peaceful and quiet, being in a predominantly residential area but still only 10 min walk along the beach to the main tourist area. 2 min walk to the beach. Lots of supermarkets within a few minutes walk. Several climbing frames nearby as well as an outdoor gym and a park across the road where my son played a bit of football with some new friends from the hotel and local teenagers. Water park is 10mins walk from apartments but it only opens in June. We didn't go to Portaventura but you can easily get a bus to it. We got a bus to Tarragona a few times as well as to Salou and Cambrils. Bus stop just around the corner where you can buy a family use card for 10 euros for 10 journeys and then next 10 only costs 6.50 if you still have the card - amazing value. We all had an amazing time and will most definitely be back. A big thank you to all the staff

My daughter finished her higher exams and still had a week left of study leave, so we decided to go on a girls trip for 4 nights, and ended up staying here. I didn't find the hotel particularly central - there were a few places to eat nearby, but I would say it was more like cafes than restaurants. We went to Portavenura theme park for the day, catching the bus just around the corner from the hotel. The reception staff and bar staff were friendly and helpful. Pool was pleasant enough and plenty sunbeds. Our room was on the third floor - it was clean and extremely spacious, however this is where my review turns negative. I noticed as soon as we arrived in the room that the patio doors leading out to the balcony did not lock. I immediately reported this to reception and it was logged in a book. It was a Sunday evening - we didn't unpack incase we were moved rooms but went out for a few hours, taking all our valuables with us. When we returned around 10.30pm, I checked and nothing had been done about the door, so I went back to reception. There was a different receptionist now working so I explained the circumstances - he said he would get someone up straight away. Shortly afterwards a manager appeared at our door and said that it was law in Salou that patio doors do not lock, so that there is a fire escape for customers, as well as access for the fire brigade in the event of an emergency. I said I have been holidaying in Spain for over 20 years and have never heard of this in my life - patio doors have always locked. He said that is the law and the hotel have to abide by it. I said "so anyone can gain access to my room then?" and he replied "if they can fly". I pointed out that anyone could climb across the balcony from either side and come into my room - he laughed and said that has never happened in 23 years. As a result, I never slept a wink the whole holiday and had to baricade the patio doors up with furniture every night when my daughter and I went to bed. I was extremely suspicious of this information as couldn't understand why neither of the 2 receptions mentioned it to me when I reported to them that the door wasn't locking? I tried to find information on this "law" he spoke of, as did my husband back in the UK, however neither of us could find any information on it. I also asked 3 other hotel guests when chatting around the pool, all of whom confirmed that their patio doors locked. I do not appreciate being lied to, and am absolutely disgusted that the safety of my daughter and I was put at risk, therefore would not recommend this hotel and will not be returning!
