We had a really enjoyable few days at at Dorada Palace. We stayed in a one bedroom apartment as a family of four. Rooms were clean and spacious. Everywhere was spotless. The pool area was constantly being cleaned and there was a life gaurd on duty at all time. We went for a half board option. The food at the buffet was delicious. There was a huge variety. We had breakfast each day and then lunch or dinner. All of which was tasty, with the options changing daily. 15 minute walk to PortAventura. 10 minute walk to the beach. Ideal location for families with kids of all ages.

The room was absolutely spotless and clean, had no problems with it at all, the room also had a balcony looking out onto the pool. The restaurant was simply exquisite the food was always amazing with a great array of food choices the hotel itself was very grand with helpful staff, the rear pool was where we were most of time never really keen on the other, the pool was slightly small but im not complaining and never had a problem with overcrowding, would stay again.

We stayed here at the end of our holiday as the apartments we were in for most of the week closed down mid October. First impressions were good, the lobby and pool area look great. There is a board with kids activities on throughout the day. The luggage storage facilities were very handy as we arrived before our room was ready and checked out with most of the day before our flight. Pool is a good size and clean, although I can see that this would get very busy in the summer. Rooms are pretty standard, they look quite dated and if the sofa bed was out, there would be no room to get past to the balcony. Toiletries are provided. Shower temperature wasn't great, it didn't heat up well at night although it was better in the morning. There is no lock on the bathroom door which isn't great when you have teenage kids. The rules in the hotel are quite off putting. Cards in the room stating rules such as no smoking on the balcony, no leaving the tap on while you brush your teeth, no using the toilet as an ashtray etc etc. We were sat on the balcony at about half 11 when all the outside lights on the balconies went off. Must have been our bedtime. One redeeming feature was the food. There was a really good selection at dinner time, and it was all very nice. They also have a free water machine which makes a nice change, but the drinks are overpriced so free water was much needed. The waiter who led us to our table was very friendly and helpful but some of the other waiting staff looked very miserable, borderline rude. Breakfast unfortunately wasn't so nice, the selection wasn't as good and the only juice options were orange and pineapple (no apple!). They do have a "diet" section with low fat/low cholesterol items. Overall it's not a bad hotel but I expected better from a 4 star hotel. I wouldn't return only because I think there are better value hotels and apartments in Salou.
