4R Salou Park Resort I

“Overall a pleasant and relaxing holiday”

Just returned from 10 days at this hotel and am happy with our choice.

Just returned from 10 days at this hotel and am happy with our choice. Food good, relaxed atmosphere and not the usual scramble for sun loungers, plenty of loungers and tables to cater for all guests, also refreshing to see towels being removed from empty sun loungers. Rooms cleaned daily. Staff very friendly. Location was excellent and very close to the urban centre and beaches. Things I think the hotel could improve on: WiFi was intermittent throughout the hotel (ok in reception and main lobby), entertainment is ok but quite repetitive with acrobats and similar shows, we ended up going out most nights, even though we were all inclusive. Hotel is starting to look a little tired and could do with modernisation in some parts. Overall a pleasant holiday… would we stay at this hotel again? I would say yes. 👍🏼

“Hotel basic, barman excellent”

Stayed in 4R Salou park 1, was exactly what it said it was, mid range and perfect for short trips. Pool disappointing but Johan in the pool bar of 4R Salou park II is the best cocktail maker, best cocktails I’ve ever had, excellent much better than those behind the bar of 4R Salou park 1 and much … more

“Not a 4 star hotel”

We left this hotel this morning and I don’t know where to start, it’s a mixed bag. We have travelled quite a lot and stayed in many 5 star, 4 star and 3 star hotels, so comparing them is quite easy.

We left this hotel this morning and I don’t know where to start, it’s a mixed bag. We have travelled quite a lot and stayed in many 5 star, 4 star and 3 star hotels, so comparing them is quite easy. This hotel is NOT a 4 star hotel…far from it, in fact we stayed in a 3 star in Mallorca the year before and that hotel had way more going on and variety than this one. We stayed on the 8th floor which is the very top and getting the lifts was a lot of time wasted. Some times they would work other times they wouldn’t. Not ideal if you’re elderly or impaired. I would request a lower level when booking. The swimming pool - well we only visited the main one as the ones that belong to the sister site looked murky! The main pool however had black bits floating in it - the grouting was all black and mouldy beneath the water so we figured it was that, constantly full of hair floating around and both my partner and daughter got ear infections whilst we were there resulting in a few trips to the pharmacy. You can’t play with a ball in the pool (absolute madness, never been in a hotel where you can’t play catch in the pool) and also no inflatables allowed. My main concern about the swimming pool is there is no lifeguard! Again never been away where no lifeguard is present - especially a family holiday hotel! Please bare this in mind if bringing small children. Sun beds - one good thing about this hotel is they don’t open the doors for outside until 9am - we didn’t see many sunbed wars but if you want one around the main pool you do need to be there for 9am. They have got many sunbeds on the upper terrace also if they’ve all gone around the pool. Bar - can’t fault the bar in fact I think they’re the most hardworking of all the staff, at times they were miserable and would only serve you 2 drinks at a time but other than that the variety of drinks was vast and they were always cleaning the bar area. Entertainment - there was NONE!! This is where it all goes down hill - if your a family who want to sit by the pool drinking all day doing nothing then this hotel is perfect for you but if your a family like mine that enjoys getting involved in daily activities etc. then please book somewhere else, this hotel has nothing to offer. Aqua aerobics in the afternoon sometimes and that’s it! Oh and a come watch the staff make sangria! Really? No real competitions or silly pool games - just flat all day long with the same cd on repeat every single day and the night time entertainment- well we fortunately take a large amount of cash and thank god we did because we went out most of the nights as the entertainment just wasn’t great. Majority of the staff don’t speak English either so understanding what was going on was hard work. Food - I’m not going to give this a bad rating as I’m a fussy eater and struggle in all inclusive everywhere so I don’t think it’s fair, however minimal choice for a supposed 4 star hotel! Location - 10/10 it was the perfect location close to everything. Rooms - rooms were ok, did have an issue with our door where we got locked in and then after it had been ‘fixed’ had trouble getting in it everyday! But rooms had all you needed. Maids - maids were always smiling and cheery - probably the only staff that will acknowledge you. They changed the beds everyday and fresh towels. Don’t think they did a deep clean and I can’t be sure they cleaned the sheets most days but no complaints from us. Overall - the hotel has huge potential - but it really isn’t a quality hotel, the entertainment is the biggest issue here along with the cleanliness of the pool. The surroundings of all the hotel are lovely it just needs a big improvement and a big think about the entertainment programme they have. Top tips - when visiting salou I highly recommend the house of illusions - an absolutely fantastic night. Portuventura theme park was good - not as big as I expected though. Uncle Sam’s diner had the BEST English breakfast and staff were all fantastic - we went 3 times in our 10 day stay, highly recommend, also the guiness tavern - their food was also exceptional. Salou itself was lovely. Will we be back? No… we don’t visit the same place twice regardless of how good or bad it is as we want to visit as many places as we can but if asked would I recommend salou - definitely yes, would I recommend this hotel, probably not.
