When we got dropped off round the corner we thought oh dear whats this going to be like, but once in the hotel that all changed, the reception was lovely, clean, & the staff are very helpful!

The room was clean, & very nicely decorated, and had a nice view. The food was great, the only thing is every morning you had to get your sunbed off a pile & carry them round the pool.

The location is great small bars just outside, just round the corner, busy bars & shopping, just round from there the beach & restaurants. Was a decent price for a last minute holiday package & worth every penny.

Booked a week’s self catering for 7 of us for £1200 from Luton, which we thought was a good deal through Portland. Had to wait two hours in the bar at the hotel on arrival until our rooms were ready at 2pm, which was a bit of a disappointment, but allowed us immediately to be introduced to the ‘entertainment.

Â’Â…Same old stuff, rifle shooting, French boules, cocktail games, darts, killer pool, ArcheryÂ…etc, etc, etc. Rooms? Basic: in fact the whole hotel needs a bit of a refurb. They are really winging it with a 3+ rating; this is no more than two stars in my experience.

Indoor pool was used twice by us; Â…too small for the amount of guests, however the hot-tub was great! Main pool was impressive but freeeeeeeeeeeeezing! Reception staff were great. We upgraded to half board for 405 euros for 3 adults 3 kids & a baby. Glad we did as we were pleasantly surprised at the quality for the price.

Salou was dead with unlimited choices to eat so definitely worth the money. Restaurant staff? A lso fab. Bar prices? Average, but make good use of a happy hour two hours a night. Evening entertainment? Same old same old. Mini disco game, bingo, acrobat-plate spinners, etc, etc. Entertainers worked hard but let down by a ‘member of the team’ who we all know from previous reviews & has now been suspended.

All in all, a very average holiday that was just worth the price, kids loved it which is all that matters to me. Would I go again? No – but only because now we have stayed there we know there are many better quality hotels for the price in the Mediterranean. If you are looking for somewhere in Salou, these apartments are much better than ‘Festival VillageÂ’ in Cap Salou, but in no way compare to other 3+ hotels I’ve stayed at in Ibiza & Tenerife.

We have just returned from the Best Sol d’Or hotel! We only booked a week before we travelled so we had very little choice & having read the reviews online, we were slightly concerned! But what a great holiday!

I was extremely dissappointed when I arrived at the Ontario apartments as the staff were extremely ignorant to us from day one. They were always looking down on us and we thought it was because we were young.

Overall, I had a good holiday at the Club Dorada Palace but there were a few points of it that I did not enjoy.

We got back from the Golden Donaire Beach hotel last night, & we had a great time. The hotel was very clean, the foyer & rooms etc were spotless & very cool & the outside areas were beautifully presented.
