I have gone through all the reviews on HT old and new, and other sites regarding Salou hotels and it seems that there are mostly problems with bad food, dirty cramped rooms, catering just for certain nationalities, or British people being treated like rubbish and being put up in the "rough parts" of a hotel.
We have just been to a hotel in Ibiza, the hotel Caribe and it was lovely.
They catered for all tastes, and were respected. Oh and no saving the sun beds for hours.
I know there are some who do misbehave and act like ignorant pigs but not everyone is like that.
I hate some comments made by some British ( it almost sounds like snobbery) who say they don't want a hotel full of British as if they are ashamed. I can tell you I have seen and heard some very badly behaved Germans and Spanish on my travels. Drunk, shouting, slamming doors. when they come back late at night. Also Spanish school children on trips running riot and not being corrected by their teachers. Its not just a British thing. At least we know how to queue, they just jump to the front of it or push in. A spanish woman stopped me getting in a hotel lift once, she was the only one in it! As a woman myself I found this really disgusting.
Anyway getting away from that.
My main query are there any hotels in Salou itself or within a 1km walk that are good for everything (not the nearest nightclub)!, bit old for that now!!. Food, cleaniness, guests treated equally, near to the beach and have a good sized and spaced out pool area where you are not packed in like sardines? I'm not asking for much am I?!!!
I know I have sounded off a bit but I am exhausted from trawling the web for good hotels!!. This is for next year.
Thanks in advance
A worn out
