Reviews
Pros!!
Location - amazing location, close to everything. Pubs and restaurants as soon as you leave the hotel, beach a 10 min walk away, 35 mins from airport - couldn’t ask for better.
Rooms - cleaned daily, modern, lovely bathroom, pushed our 2 double beds together so had a massive bed for the stay which was lovely! Cot for baby too.
All inclusive - never waited more than 2 minutes for a drink, good selection of soft drinks and alcohol. Includes ice creams too which is great for the kids.
Pool - big pool with loads of sun beds, never had to fight for a space (we did go end of September so not sure if different in peak summer) our little one loved the little splash park.
Cons!!
Check in: 2 buses arrived at the same time so check in was at least 45 minutes long, no one extra on desk to help busy period. If your room isn’t ready, it’s 6€ per suitcase for a locker (people just leave them outside in the hallway to save paying).
Food: worst part of the holiday was definitely the food, by day 3 we couldn’t stand the smell of it and had to eat out for the rest of the holiday. They try their best with different themed nights (tacos on Mexican night etc) but very small choice of food which the majority consisted of chicken nuggets, chips, burgers, etc- not what you want to be eating every lunch & dinner for a week. Was happy to get home to have a vegetable.
Rooms: even though the cleaners cleaned daily, not once was the bed sheets changed (I’m sure if you asked they’d do it as the staff were really lovely)
Lifts: only two very small lifts and one kept breaking down so had everyone trying to get into the one lift which wasn’t ideal for a pram - especially at lunch / dinner times you’d have to wait ages for the lift.
Cleanliness: public toilets weren’t great - met a friend and she told us the one night there was poo rubbed over all the walls in the women’s toilets ???
Overall - wouldn’t go all inclusive again as so close to everything and restaurants can be so cheap (especially laurel Hardy’s which is a must!!!) perfect location for first holiday away with a little one.
Firstly...check in at 3pm..fine hotel policy
Secondly ... no fridge in the room given..
The elevators were not working for 2 of the 4 days we stayed..it was a pain to walk down from 7th floor to the first and the ground floor a few times with kids with us...
Room - compact...no fridge..we called reception then they provided us with one...not at all sound proof..could hear kids running in lobby..the AC was for namesake...I was sweating in the night.. Even a 3 star hotel provides with a kettle..some glasses and tea and coffee items along with at least 1 water bottle...here all we had was 4 paper cups given just once...I had to buy a glass for the kids
Pool area- I was baffled that they would not provide with pool towels....I mean seriously??
As a result there were kids running in the lobby area without being dried up adequately causing water on the floor...we even saw a man slip and fall near the lift on either 23rd or 22nd October. It was after he fell that one chef who was passing by put a caution sign there.
Staff- no smile...at all apart from a couple in the dinner service.
Food - buffet...not ready nor organised.not a single time in 4 days we could see the buffet fully stocked up for breakfast or dinner..
It was obvious that they were accommodating guest beyond their capacity and failing badly.
Never again to this hotel even if it is free
The staff were absolutely amazing very friendly and accommodating especially when our toddler was dancing with your staff on the stage.
This hotel is perfect for children with the splash area, park and pools you have.
Food was served all day and was always freshly cooked. The hotel was always clean.
The only thing that we felt was needed was better air conditioning in the rooms we went out and bought a fan as my little boy still struggle other than that we had no complaints. We would definitely come again
Beach is within walking distance with local buses to get you to the local theme parks
Big thank you from us to all your staff for the best 1st family holiday.
the rooms had everything you needed. on the 7th floor there was a beautiful view of the pool and the city.
the pool has good depth.
friendly waiters and staff.
parking costs 12 euros, safe. there are many cafes nearby
-
2 rooms were booked, which were supposed to have double beds. But one room had separate beds.
At the reception, they said that it was the manager's decision and it was impossible to influence it.
there are no fresh vegetables at breakfast.
it will be difficult for some cars to enter the parking lot.
Deposit of €5 for parking keys is not returned.
The rooms are quite basic but the beds are very comfortable and the bathroom and shower were fine. The shower was warm everyday and there was lots of facilities such as soap, shampoo etc.
The cleaners are so kind. They greeted us everyday and always left the room spotless. The location is perfect! It is just outside the hustle and bustle of Salou and is a 5 minute walk to all amenities such as restaurants and shops. About 10-15 for the beach. We will definitely be back to Salou and would 100% revisit Hotel Marinada.
I'm happy to see that it wasn't full of drunk English people, and the staff were friendly and knowledgeable.
There are lots of things for kids to do, and the breakfast buffet was delicious.
Very clean.
Update:-
Second year of us going there now and it didn't disappoint.
Exactly the same as last time.
It's literally like this little, perfect oasis in the middle of Salou, void of all the drunken, idiocy that is usually found in the area, making it perfect for families.
This time, we had breakfast and dinner included, and the dinner was fantastic. Delicious, healthy options, everything fresh, and plenty of options for all.
I was surprised that the buffet changed every day, so it was never boring.
Thanks again, and see you all next year!!
