Find the Cheap El Tarragones Hotels

First of all I paid for the sea view room eith gilf experience only to find on arrival that I wont get the free round of golf because I didnt book it 2 weeks in advance. They never stated this during booking. There is zero effort made at reception on arrival. Charged an extra 'tax' on arrival plus 100 euro as a deposit. Left find my room myself. There was zero information in the room. There was nothing to tell you how to join the wifi so I went to ring reception to ask but there wasn't even a number on the phone to call reception. When I unpacked and put my stuff in the safe I found that the safe was broken. I rang 3 times before someone came to replace the batteries in it. The hotel itself is too far from decent shops and restaurants. The spa closes at 8.30. Water is freezing cold in the jacuzzis and they make you buy a swimming hat to sit in them. The entertainment is the worst I've seen. You can hear music and fun happening in the surrounding hotels but this one is just dead. They play a short bit of music from 10-12pm and that's it. The fusion hotel bar/club is almost totally empty every night. Max I've seen was 8 people at it. The only pleasant staff was one lady in the restaurant.

Beautiful hotel we stayed in a superior duplex which was really lovely very spacious, clean and had plenty of wardrobe space and great balcony only one thing lacking no kettle but we brought our own We stayed all inclusive and it was great value Beds were hugh and very comfy Staff very friendly especially the reception staff who were so helpful and went out of their way to help ( a big shout out for Hanna who went above and beyond a lovely lady a hugh thank you to her for all she did for us ) Pool was lovely (salt water ) my family loved it esp the slide great fun was had Outside area was nice but a few slip hazards ( uneven tiles ) Games area was good plenty of tables to play on and small play area for small kiddies Food was delicious cooked fresh everyday Good selection for kids and adults the deserts were delicious One thing I didnt like was all drinks for all inclusive came in a hard plastic cup I would of preferred a glass but not at meal times you could have a glass Entertainment was very good but would of been better if more English was spoken as sometimes we didn't understand alot But will we return definitely YES YES YES

In general, everything is correct. Huge room and extremely comfortable beds. However, we stayed in a Callaghan's Superior room, but without the details like the Colorado Creek Superior rooms (no bottled water, for example). It is noticeable that the quality of the hotel's food at dinner and breakfast has dropped a lot compared to other times we have stayed at the Gold River.

I decided to upgrade myself to the premium in park hotels. Upon arrival I had my driver help me find the hotel it was located within the gold river complex within Portaventura World. The hotel is a charming building small and quiet with great character. This is my 4th hotel I’ve tried within the hotels at the park and it’s by far my favourite checking in was seamless they give you all you need they took care of my luggage etc as my room wasn’t ready which was fine I was there for the park I arrived around 12. Checkin was seemless beats standing in a queue and going to a luggage locker. Went off to the park about 10 mins later room was ready but didn’t need to go there till later Room was ample only thing I’ll say was there was no water on arrival in the room supposedly there was meant to be but that was sorted after I said. I had welcome drinks at the bar in the evening and they brought around snacks Outdoor pool was closed due to being April but looked fab and hotel restaurant id booked dinner it was also well done and staff very attentive I have to say overall the staff made this place special they drove me to the front of the park to go to Ferrariland always checking everything was ok. If you want a lux theme park experience look no further than this hotel.

We stayed here for 2 nights in October 2019 as our base for exploring Tarragona and environs. This is a spotlessly clean place designed in the style of 1960s furnishings and decor but with all the current day conveniences. It is located about a 5 minutes drive north of the center of Tarragona, 1 block back from a nice sandy beach with a cafe/bar. The hotel's reception staff was super friendly and helpful, and spoke excellent English. The free on-site parking is a big plus for anyone arriving by car, although please do note that the parking is one level down from the lobby and there is no elevator to the parking level, so suitcases must be carried up one flight of steps or else dropped off at the front entrance to the lobby. The reception desk person did carry our suitcases up for us--much appreciated. Our room was on the 3rd floor and was seaview, with a nice balcony. There are railroad tracks that separate the hotel from the beach, but there is an underpass for beach access. Train noise was not bothersome and didn't interfere with sleep. Good breakfast also!

We stayed midweek for 4 nights in a city view room. Room was clean and comfortable and we weren’t bothered by any road noise. Air conditioning worked well. Reception were helpful when needed. Breakfast was fine, better than we’ve had in some other city hotels. The pool was lovely and we had it to ourselves most mornings before heading off sightseeing. The caravan cafe didn’t open whilst we were there due to demand. The nearest beach was gorgeous with soft golden sand and the chiringitos opened whilst late at night. The only thing to be aware of is that taxis were expensive, ten euro to do the mile into town. We ended up walking in via the beach in the day and using buses to go out at night, but these stopped running quite early. We taxied back once and walked back after midnight twice, it felt safe. I had seen on here it was a 20 minute walk, that seemed optimistic and was more like 30, at least it was downhill on way back from town which means it’s uphill into town. All in all a good stay if you like walking.

While this hotel has a good rate and some ok aspects to it (relatively clean room, convenient parking garage across the street), there are many issues with it otherwise. The receptionist wasn’t very friendly or helpful at the start… that didn’t bode well. I had to do a couple hours of work as soon as I got to my room and quickly realized that the WiFi signal didn’t reach my room - bear in mind I was only on the second floor of about six floors! So I couldn’t use the internet which, obviously, is pretty important for most work these days. I even tried to do some work with my computer just outside my room but the signal was poor even in the halls ways. And to make matters worse, the hallway smelled like cigarette smoke. Pretty sure this is a non-smoking hotel! So I decide to do my work in the lobby. I end up having dinner there and order a pasta dish. No joke, the top half of the pasta was warm and the bottom part was cold. Did they just throw it into a microwave? It was pretty disappointing. In terms of the room itself, it was spacious and the bed was comfortable enough but when I went to take a shower, not only would the water not drain properly - creating an ever-growing pool of water on the shower floor - but the temperature was all wonky. It went from slightly warm to searing hot… again, not ideal. I’m a pretty easy-going traveler and for this price, I shouldn’t really complain BUT this city did seem to have plenty of options in the price range so maybe it’s best to try another spot unless you have a good reason to want to stay in this particular location.

Minim Asst in style but not in provision. Breakfast is superb, and can be eaten in or out. Outdoor area is not extensive but the pool is big, and the surroundings give plenty of shade. Culture of guests means that sunbeds become quickly available. Bedroom vey comfortable, with good air conditioning, plenty of hot water. Beds invite sleep. Bar and restaurant staff outstanding. Reception staff need drawing out to help! Ten minutes ( smelly) walk into town, which can be hot, but much better than staying in the town itself. Only criticism was that if you have a late train/ flight there is zero provision ( eg shower) to change other than a toilet. We were told we couldn’t keep the room but a sneaky check showed that the room hadn’t been made up at the time we left two hours later! But that didn’t mar the whole experience.
