Hotel Best Sol D´Or

We went as a family of 5, 3 adults and 2 children aged 7 and 10. We got a private transfer which took 1 hour from Barcelona would next time definitely fly from Reus as it’s only 20 mins away. We were allocated two rooms next to each other which over looked the pool and close to the evening entertainment. The rooms were air conditioned and this worked well. Bathrooms were a good size with a spacious shower. Shower was powerful with a rainfall shower head and a seperate attachment. Bath towels were provided. Bed were extremely comfortable. We had a mini fridge in the room with complementary water, Coke and orange Fanta which was a bonus when we arrived at 10.30pm. The balcony was small and could only fit two people on at a time so we couldn’t sit out there as a family. Around the pool was generally clean. Pool didn’t open until 10am and some people started to queue about 9.30am for a sun-bed! We were able to get a sunbed if we went down about 10.30am but any later and you would probably miss out. 3 pools, baby pool was lovely and warm and the other two pools were on the slightly colder side but didn’t stop us going in and having fun in the 30 degree heat! The pool with slides was great fun for the children. Lifeguard on duty at all times and were vigilant. No inflatables in the main pool which was a bit disappointing but seems to be the norm now in most holidays abroad. Water aerobics and water polo were great fun, we joined in on numerous occasions. Entertainment team were friendly and my youngest child went to the kids club most days for an hour or two to get out of the sun which she enjoyed. The pool bar was always busy. However we are on holiday so we weren’t worried about the slower service. Some of the ladies behind the bar were lovely and always very helpful. Food was ok, although always a little wait for it to be ready and you have to collect it yourself, it’s not delivered to your table, but again, that didn’t bother us. Lots of lovely seating in the air conditioned reception area if you want to get out of the sun for a bit and a small slide and swing for young children in the shade. We went room only but did try the restaurant on site once. I would recommend getting there as soon as it opens at 7.30pm as when we left about 8.30pm, people were queuing down the stairs for a table. Food was tasty and a good variety too. Lots of local places to eat too. Would recommend Wizzlers, The Irish bar and La Tagliatelle. All very good and reasonably priced. The beach was great, only a 2 minute walk from the hotel. There were some building works going on but that didn’t bother us as there was no noise and it didn’t affect the use of the beach. The evening entertainment was interesting! Kids disco started at 9.30pm and was very repetitive each night. All in Spanish however the children enjoyed it. Main entertainment started around 10pm and didn’t finish until 11.30pm. As we had a room very close to the entertainment it was tricky to get the ch

Always found food that week liked, including the teenagers, breakfast was very good. If you can’t find food you will like then you must be very fussy! Nothing was undercooked, and considering the cater for hundreds of people; it was great. If you want restaurant standard food, go to a restaurant and pay a premium. All inclusive was good value for money, with snacks & ice creams during the day. Pool GREAT for families of children aged 10 or younger. My teenagers didn’t appreciate it. Not the hotel’s fault. Staff work so very hard, place is clean & the cleaners for the rooms were great, cleaned everyday day. Lifeguard, lady who was very good at her job. It’s a safe pool, blows her whistle at silliness- which is as it should be if you don’t want nasty accidents. Really happy with our stay for what we paid. I have no complaints at all.

It was the third time for us at this hotel.Very tasty food, a lot of choices .Confy beds,rooms very spacious and clean,close to the beach.Definitely we will choose it for the next time.Also the staff very friendly and helpful. Maybe something to add,a little too crowded at the dinner time and loud in the evening until 23.15,if you have a pool view room.

Hotel is clean and modern, rooms cleaned beds made and fresh towels every day, staff friendly and helpful. We went room only but could pay each day for breakfast. Breakfast was ok it was something to eat and only paid because I really needed a coffee. We did this a couple of days. Pool for the kids is fantastic. The only downfall is the pool does not open till 10am. When your with kids they are up crack of dawn and won’t to get in the pool, Nor can you get a coffee before 10am if you’re not all inclusive. Out of the hotel no where seems to open till 10am. The beach is 2 min walk down the road and a taxi into Salou will cost about 10 euro and take 10 mins. Overall we had a fantastic time and would definitely return to this hotel.

Overall this hotel is very good, the hotel itself is very modern and very clean throughout. The pool is a good size and there is plenty of sun loungers. On the first few days small inflatables were allowed in the pool, however 2 days before we left there was some different life guards (2 females) who refused to allow anyone to have any floaties of any kind, even babies, which we thought was ridiculous as everyone had been allowed them by the other life guards. They were also very miserable and constantly blowing the whistle at people for every little thing, even though all the other life guards were brilliant, these 2 alone would put us off coming back to this hotel- there was really no need for them to be so strict especially when all the other life guards had allowed everything. The food was good, different variety of foods including themed nights- Chinese, Mediterranean etc. there is always pizza and chips every day so if you’re a fussy eater like us it’s brilliant because you always go in there knowing there is something you will eat. We had no issues with meats being undercooked- everything seemed to be cooked well. The guy who did the entertainment was brilliant, very loud and engaging, the other 2 women were okay however we found them a bit boring as they weren’t as loud and energetic as he was- they were a lot quieter. The entertainment is all in Spanish other than the odd few words they translate to English- I think the hotel could improve on making more of the entertainment in English as some kids were trying to join in but couldn’t as they didn’t understand what was going on. There were some good shows on while we were there. All in all a brilliant hotel and a brilliant holiday.
