Best Negresco

“My happy place”

I have been to this hotel 6 times now. With the kids, and also with friends. I absolutely love everything about it. The staff, the location, cleanliness and facilities. And the food is always nice too. I’m so tempted to go again in July, trying to find a good deal 🙏🏼😅

“Everything you could possibly want...”

Wow...from start to finish such a wonderful experience. All the staff- housekeeping, restaurant, bar, reception etc were all fantastic but the animation team are something else!

Wow...from start to finish such a wonderful experience. All the staff- housekeeping, restaurant, bar, reception etc were all fantastic but the animation team are something else! Lucia and Clara are absolute stars! They made my 13 year old feel welcomed and involved at all times. All of the team were amazing though. The food- so much choice- our clothes are a little tighter than they were before we arrived! The rooms- lovely light and bright, great air-conditioning and fantastic shower! The views and sunsets are breathtaking and it is only a 15 minute walk into salou once you figure out the short cut. We genuinely didn't want to leave.

“Best Negresco, Cap Salou”

The hotel is in a lovely location right next to the beach. It’s a short distance to Salou, which is easily accessible by walking or using the bus (although do remember that buses only take cash or a preloaded travel card obtainable from the shop at the top of the road).

The hotel is in a lovely location right next to the beach. It’s a short distance to Salou, which is easily accessible by walking or using the bus (although do remember that buses only take cash or a preloaded travel card obtainable from the shop at the top of the road). Access to the hotel is by walking down a very bumpy pavement if your transfer is via a coach. The hotel was clean, and the staff were helpful and pleasant. I had a room with a lateral Seaview, which was lovely, although it did look out over the back of the hotel and the bin area. This wasn’t a problem as I was on the fourth floor, but would imagine it’s not so pleasant lower down the building. The room itself was a good size with two double beds, a vanity unit, and a decent number of sockets. I was impressed by the fact that once you came through the door, you walked past the bathroom and wardrobe, and there was another door into the actual room. This meant it was possible to block out the light from the exterior corridor, and some of the noise from people using the hallway. Another plus was the safe, which was free to use… A lot of hotels I’ve stayed in add a charge for this. On the downside, the walls are very very thin. I was unfortunate enough to have noisy neighbours both sides. In particular one large group of people who twice decided it was okay to all meet in the one room and play loud music until 2 o’clock in the morning with the patio door wide open . The second time this happened I went down to reception at about 1130 but there was no one available. There are also no tea or coffee making facilities in the room., Although there is a fridge which is stocked with a bottle of water, a Pepsi, and a Fanta. This wasn’t restocked at any point of my seven nights stay..The pool is quite small for such a large hotel, and the sunbeds are packed in really tight. There is a seating area next to the pool bar, which would be a lot nicer if people would respect the no smoking signs. Choice of food and drink is typical all inclusive, with the exception of certain premium brand drinks also being available at no extra cost. I would advise asking for premium brand drinks by name rather than description. For example, if you ask for gin you get house gin, but if you ask for Bombay gin they give you that. The cocktails were premixed from a machine and absolutely revolting! Breakfast had reasonable selection. Not much choice of cereal, but a huge variety of different milks. There was the continental meat and cheese selection, croissants and pastries, a variety of eggs and other cooked food, yoghurt, and fruit (although a lot of that appeared to be tinned). Lunch and dinner consisted of pizza, pasta, salads, and chips along with various meat and fish dishes, potatoes, and vegetables. There were a couple of show cooking areas too. The deserts tended to be a bit samey and included still more tinned fruit. The drinks at lunch and dinner are table service. If ordering a full bottle of water or wine from the all-inclusive menu, we were not prevented from taking the leftovers to finish in our rooms. Overall, I had a very enjoyable stay at the Best Negresco. The location is quiet, but with easy access to the beach and the bus stop, although the atmosphere of the hotel was quite lively with several large groups staying there, and this did tend to generate a fair bit of noise. I’d say the hotel would suit people who like to stay somewhere away from the main resort and who enjoy being next to a lovely sandy beach

“Overall mediocre! But fantastic staff!!”

Location is fabulous on the seafront but not recommended for anyone with difficulties walking as it’s hilly and rocky but there are buses available. The atmosphere is good and friendly, probably best for families not so much for couples. Rooms are spacious with two double beds, clean and well maintained. The walls are paper thin and you can hear neighbours on either side. We did have to go to reception as a family next door were arguing and fighting with the children screaming, staff were concerned and did address the issue but once they left it started again. They checked out the next morning, unfortunately we then had a young couple the other side arguing! Followed by a very loud group of people so sleep was quite poor even with ear plugs! We did get this holiday at a reasonable price so would say that it was value for money. I did have an issue with having to have small paper cups for lager. Not allowed the plastic pint ones that were available paying guests? Didn’t make sense to me as we are paying guests with All Inclusive? The food was alright but very repetitive with no theme nights as such. The restaurant staff work very very hard, friendly and never stop. The restaurant itself self when busy was like a cattle market and not pleasant. Some guests have no respect for other guests or the staff! As non smokers we would have liked to sit outside for the evening meals and breakfast more, which we did a couple of times but unfortunately it’s also the smoking area and it appeared wherever we sat there were chain smokers! The pool is ok but seemed quite small for the number of guests with families arriving on our second weekend, lots of sun beds jammed in to tight together and claimed with towels as soon as the area opened! We have never experienced this before so was quite entertaining to watch! We went out and about most days, lots to see and do. Did get beds for the last hour or two at the end of the day. Although it is rated a 4* I would say it would be better advertised as a 3 star
