When we walked into the hotel, you could feel the cool air of the air con. The marble floors and decor was very well presented. Easy check-in.

Over 2 hours allowed for breakfast and 3 hours for evening meal up to 21:30, you could cancel meals and arrange for packed lunch if required, for day trips etc., You could swap your evening meal to lunch if arranged.

Well presented rooms with air con, advised to hire a safe deposit box,17 euros with 5 euros returned. You can also hire fridge and remote for TV, which was 30 euros, which was all refunded. Only 2 English speaking channels CNN and BBC world, but you have no time to watch TV anyway.

You have a 24 hour bus service outside the hotel, which can take you to Port Aventura,( you must stay until midnight for the fireworks, light and water show, get there late it is a must) Salou, Tarragona, La Pineda (Aquapolis water park very good), easily missed on the bus we ended up in Tarragona !, Turned it into an adventure for the kids! You can swim with the sea lions at Aquapolis book with your operator. Barcelona is only just over an hour away on the bus, book an arranged trip with your tour operator, stadium very good, allow plenty of time for the shop.

Entertainment was good and a mix of Spanish, English and performing parrots, the best entertainment was watching the Spanish line dancing!

Food available by the poolside, waitered service poolside and in the bar, some of the waiters are like Speedy Gonzales ! Friendly staff throughout, lots of cleaners around, you leave a note on your door to say you want your room cleaned, if you forget they clean it anyway!

The Hotel was Great, always clean and tidy as the maids came everyday, it was also wonderfully air conditioned which became an absolute godsend during this holiday as the temperatures varied from 30 to 39 degrees!!

There was always a great selection of food which was served buffet style and varied everynight.

Travelling halfboard was also a great benefit, as eating out every morning and night for 2 weeks would have been expensive.

We both found the location of the Hotel fantastic and loved the fact that the beach really was only a stones throw away.

There is a railway line behind the hotel but is hardly worth mentioning as we rarely noticed, and they stopped running at around 11pm.

We throughly enjoyed many of the evening entertainment acts, as they varied for everyone's age and taste, many of the acts leaving you dumbfounded, and wondering where you can go to see the act again!!

If the acts were not to your taste though you could always watch a movie on your room television, which is just a 30 Euro deposit, which you get back at the end of your stay on return of the remote control.

We also found the use of an in room safe and fridge great to keep our belongings safe, and water and snacks cold (however these came at extra cost).

The Cambrils Princess is listed as a 4* hotel and to be honest I was a bit disappointed on arrival. The public bathrooms were shabby looking and our room was small for 2ad and 2 ch but it had air conditioning so we were comfortable. We had a sea view but this was over a very busy road, so our sleep was very interupted. The rooms at the back had trains to put up with which seemed to rock the hotel as they travelled at such high speed. Ask for a room with a pool view and I reckon you'd be happy as there is sufficient distance between you and the road.

Once setled in, we very much enjoyed the stay. The food was very varied and plentiful with delicious fresh fruit. My husband loved the fish. Deserts were very spanish and not to our taste at all, but there are a couple of fridges with ice cream, it just took us a couple of days to find them. The entertainment catered for both young and old with lots of shows my kids loved, us too. There was also ballroom dancing for the older people. Watch out for locals trying to shoo your kids off the floor so they can dance. There was plenty of room for all, but they were telling the children to get off the floor. One mother told them where to get off, it was very funny. (Remember you paid for this entertainment in your holiday costs). It was only as we saw them leave that we realised they weren't even guests. Cheek.

I have to say the hotel was very clean and our room cleaned daily. Shocked that a fridge cost

The Cambrils Princess should not be advertised as a family hotel the entertainment is geared for the Spanish and other foreign nationals if you like ballroom dancing then this is fine. The bar staff are excellent, we found the reception staff very snotty.

The food is buffet style but is mostly cold by the time you get it to your table.(they provide a microwave to heat it up if you are not happy with it).

The Thompson rep agreed that there was a problem and said that the hotel were taking measures to solve this problem, they did'nt know when though.

My family and myself will never return to this hotel it was not as advertised in the brochure and is very poor for a four star hotel.

Hi, I am only 13 and I have been to this hotel twice and last time I came I was crying when I had to leave. I love this hotel the food is great, the rooms are lovely, especialy the rooms at the front!

The pool is beautiful with a lovely mini water fall runing into it. There's a bar outside where you can get slush puppies and burgers and chips etc.

When you walk into the reception area you fall in love with the hotel as the lovely coldness from the air con hits you and the smell of clean floors! In the reception there is lovly comfy sofas with glass tables so if your waiting to check in it is perfect for you to go and have a relax.

The food is absoloutely brill here, loads to chose from on every meal.

Now the entertainment is good as there is dancing and balancing things(heavy things)on your feet, magic shows, singing, etc. This year we are going to Majorca as we have a newbaby and all of us can not fit in one room in the Camprils Princess but it is such a gorgeous hotel you should definitely go there I no I would any day!!!!!!!!!

Had a really good time, however you need to be fairly realistic about your expectations.

The hotel is not expensive and offers reasonable value for money.

Rooms are small and those at the rear overlook a high speed rail line that is frequently used (sometimes in the middle of the night or early morning).

The entertainment is normal fayre for this type of hotel but seemed to be enjoyed by the older guests.

Food was very good (buffet) with a wide range of options, the hotel caters for many nationalities and therefore some of the offerings may not suit. Some people complained about having to get their own cutlery and tea/toast in the mornings, however, the lack of waiter service enables the hotel to keep its costs down and that is reflected in the price.

Overall the hotel would be considered 3 star in the UK but appears to be the best of the bunch in that location.

Well what can you say, yet again the hotel leaved up to our expectations. My wife and I have been five times to this hotel. We went for a week to recharge the batteries. We have never been away out of season. We found it a bit cooler but what do you expect for March.

The hotel as usual is spotless, check in as normal very quick the rooms very clean.

The food is dead on just a bit rich but it is Spain.

The staff or brilliant because we have been before we know all of them. Three waiters to watch out for (Javier, Maurico and Angel) when they serve you you can't go wrong.

Entertainment in March is not bad but far better in the summer months they had acts in the summer like the Drifters (fantastic)and usual Spanish dancing. There is acts that get the audience up on stage.

When the pool bar opens up in the summer everyone should try the Cambrills special burger(ham burger, cheese, tomato, onions, egg with chips)great.

The staff all work hard for you to enjoy your holiday.

Looking forward to going back soon. Hasta Luego

The hotel is spotless with lovely rooms. We stayed on the second floor with a view of the pool and sea. People who were staying at the back of hotel were complaining of the noise of trains.

The food was really good but it all depends on individual taste.

Hotel is situated in middle of Salou or Cambrills a good half hour walk to either.

Beach across the road.

Children really enjoyed the holiday but the evening entertainment was terrible for such a high quality hotel spanish dancing most nights.

Had a really good time but will not be going back.

We stayed at the Cambrils Princess Hotel which was located approx. 2 miles from Cambrils town, a 10 minute bus ride from the bus stop directly outside our hotel. Buses to Salou seemed more frequent than those to Cambrils.

There are numerous bars and restaurants and a large supermarket in the immediate vicinity. The beach is just across the busy main road which was uncrowded even though it was the height of the season. Buses to the theme park, Portaventura, were frequent and took approx. 30 mins.
Theme park and water park well worth a visit - the three day pass is good value for money.

Had read previous reviews on this hotel so not sure what to expect, was pleasantly surprised. As we arrived at hotel at 11.30 am our room was not ready although we were not too bothered about this. Our luggage was left in a locked room and we took a stroll and had an early lunch by which time our room was available. Hotel room was on the first floor which over looked the pool and stage. Balcony was very large, however, the evening entertainment could be heard clearly in our room let alone on our balcony! We got used to it and it did not spoil our stay.

We enjoyed the food very much, there was plenty of choice in the mornings and evenings and we never had any trouble getting a table. Restaurant staff very efficient and buffet constantly topped up. If you like fresh fruit there's an abundance of it. We all looked forward to the evening meal and didn't feel the need to eat elsewhere.

Hotel entertainment each evening was of a high standard and our daughter, aged 9, thought it was great fun. Daytime entertainment is also provided daily. The only disappointment was that no inflatables are allowed in the pool, lifeguard always on duty though.

I booked this Hotel at the last minute but was a bit concerned given some of the reviews I had read.

I emailed the Hotel a few days beforehand asking for a third floor room overlooking the pool (given the stories regarding the trains etc. posted elsewhere)- and the reply was that they couldn't take account of such requests. However, on arrival we were allocated just what we had asked for - so no noise from the trains and as far back from the road so as not to be disturbed. A good start.

Whilst the swimming pool itself is nice and big (and quite warm) the surrounding area was a little bit crowded for our taste so everyday we had to trudge the whole 100 yds to the beach (what a struggle!)

The hotel and our rooms were kept immaculately clean (even when we managed to bring back 3 ton of sand from the beach most days).

The food was fine - not the best we've had but we never felt the need to eat out any of the 8 nights - although the restaurant was rather crowded.

Strangely enough our one complaint was the same as an earlier reviewer - Obviously the hotel have a problem in supplying extra pillows - there was only one pillow per bed in our room and despite asking reception 4 days running for additional pillows they never did materialise (thinking about it we should have just had a word with the maid).

Given this little hiccough I was bit sceptical that we would get our early morning call and early breakfast (6.30 a.m.) on our day of departure but there were no problems.

Whilst there are a few bars etc. in the immediate vacinity of the Hotel (My vote goes to "The Beer Factory" by the way) I think the hotel's location is just a little too far for an easy walk into either Cambrils or Salou - which was a shame as it meant getting a cab back if we had a night out in either of those resorts (buses stopped at approx 11.30).

I have stayed in better 4 star hotels - but given the price of the stay - and the fact that there was air con in the rooms (which you didn't have top pay extra for)- I would return there at some point.
