“Great location for this hotel”

This hotel is just a short walk to the shops and bars with Aldi being three minutes up the road. If you go here to buy wine please be aware that the majority of bottles have corks so you will need a cork screw! The hotel is very busy with people coming and going most of the time.

This hotel is just a short walk to the shops and bars with Aldi being three minutes up the road. If you go here to buy wine please be aware that the majority of bottles have corks so you will need a cork screw! The hotel is very busy with people coming and going most of the time. While we were there there was a large group of women and a large group of cyclists who all breakfasted early and who had tables reserved for them. This did not bother us as we went down to breakfast later. All staff were very friendly and helpful and spoke very good English. Breakfast was very good with plenty of things to choose from - even Cava! I cannot comment on the evening meal as we went out to eat, due to there being many good restaurants in the area - however, quite a number of them do not open until 7.30pm/8.00 pm. The swimming pool was still open, even though it was mid October. It could be a little breezy round the pool even though the temperatures were in the twenties. There was always plenty of room as hardly anyone came to the pool and if they did, it was for only a couple of hours. There is a bar leading off from reception and my feeling is that this could be made a little bit cosier, especially on a night time, as it is rather bright with a TV on all the time. There was a couple of nights of entertainment whilst we were there. Our room was a premium room with a sea view and we had a huge bed, bath robes and slippers, iron and ironing board, free safe, mini fridge and a beverages tray with a kettle. There was a complimentary bottle of water for the first night. In the fridge to purchase was water, coke and beer. Prices were quite reasonable. The room was cleaned daily and towels replaced if you wanted them. Handwash, shower gel, body wash and tissues were provided. The bed was very comfortable and the air conditioning was still switched on so we had comfortable nights sleep. Occasionally late at night there was some noise in the corridor outside when people came to bed but I was only woken once at 1.45 am! The hotel is next to a main road but early in the morning and in the evening/night time there is hardly any traffic (or people!). I felt very safe in this area and if you like walking then you can walk about three miles in either direction along the front. There is also a very good designated cycling lane which goes round the town. Cycles can be hired from various outlets and the hotel also had some that you could use. We found the bars and restaurants to be reasonably priced especially the wines and coffees about 3.30-3.50 Euros.

“Good large rooms and service, decent location for the town - more business/cyclist than tourist”

Stayed for a week in April in a very nice sized room, I'd asked for a quiet room away from lifts and road noise and it was even quieter than I'd hoped. Clean and easy, short walk to town bars and restaurants and right next to a big Aldi. Staff were really helpful, but not always immediately aroun… more

Stayed for a week in April in a very nice sized room, I'd asked for a quiet room away from lifts and road noise and it was even quieter than I'd hoped. Clean and easy, short walk to town bars and restaurants and right next to a big Aldi. Staff were really helpful, but not always immediately around in the bar area (there is a bell you can ring!). The core food was a bit samey - but nice - there were usually a few different dishes each night - including Catalan dishes which was great. Pretty quiet as it was just after Easter - so the hotel wasn't too busy. As mentioned in other reviews the hotel is really well set up for groups of cyclists and there was also a group of golfers in. But if you are looking for a more tourist style hotel - this might not be for you.

“Lovely break in autumn”

We stayed at Sol Port Cambrils for 11 nights from 30th September.

We stayed at Sol Port Cambrils for 11 nights from 30th September. The hotel is spotlessly clean and the rooms are well appointed, although it has to be pointed out that the hotel is situated on quite a busy road where cars and motorbikes seem to rev at all times of the day and night. We used the pool area most afternoons and it was generally very quiet. The hotel is popular with groups so the restaurant tables are allocated to these groups. If you are a couple its sometimes difficult to get a table. The staff were all very polite. We enjoyed our stay.
