Hotel Sol Costa Daurada

I think this hotel has been rated quite harshly lately. So much so that before I arrived I was a little stressed as we were travelling with a 10 month old baby and the reviews had taken a dip. But I have to say. The reviews must have been from a different hotel to the one I stayed in. A couple of weeks before our arrival I emailed the hotel asking for a travel cot to be put in the room and for a pool view room, so once the baby went to sleep we could sit on the balcony and watch the entertainment. When we arrived we had a travel cot in the room and a pool view. The staff on reception were really friendly. The hotel is extremely clean and tidy, every morning they do a major clean of the entire hotel and throughout the day I always saw a cleaner doing something. The food for breakfast and dinner was great. There was always something for the little one to eat, I am a picky eater but some of the food I had was amazing. The chicken curry, burgers, chicken kebabs and rice all tasted incredible. Theres not a massive selection compared to other hotels I've been to but I liked that, otherwise I end up having about 5 plates. The staff inside the restaurant were fantastic, especially with the baby. As you can imagine the huge mess a baby, who eats with her hands, can make they were always really helpful and always showed her attention to make her smile. Rosy on the desk in the restaurant is fantastic, but all of the staff we encountered went out of their way to entertain the baby. The pool area is clean, lots of sun beds and parasols available, there was never a rush to get a good spot. a life guard was always on duty during the pool opening times. The hotel is a 10 / 15 minute walk to the beach and resort centre, but it's a lovely walk through the back gate and didn't ever feel that long. There is a supermarket 5 minutes walk away, again going out the back gate. The entertainment in the hotel was ok, the kids club always made us chuckle and my baby loved to watch it on the times she was awake for it. It's the same every night but the kids always loved it from what we could tell, which is the main thing, probably just on a little bit late at past 9pm though. Throughout the day they do tournaments like pool competitions and archery. Overall a lovely holiday at a great hotel

Booked for four days half board as wasn’t much more than bed and breakfast , you get what you pay for the food is ok not great but your usual all inclusive fayre something for everyone but not necessarily what you would choose if you were eating out Breakfast you could ask for freshly cooked eggs lots of salads etc The pool area is large enough so you don’t have to be on top of anyone About fifteen min walk to The beach which is lovely 😊 There are lots of shops in salou mostly selling same rubbish in all! Weather was glorious apart from First day when it was cloudy , Would I stay in the hotel Again? No purely because I wouldn’t return to salou as not my cup Of tea , plus prefer hotels nearer the beach
