We chose to stay in a hotel for an extra bit of luxury. It was not good as we brought our 11 month old son. Rooms are very small. A studio apartment is bigger and you also have the added advantage of a kitchenette. The hotel had no kettles in the room and the staff could not rent one to us or could not even tell us where to go to get one.
The food was ok. My husband is very fussy and we always had to go across the road to get his breakfast in one of the taverns. We paid for half board but did not use it a lot. It is also a fishing port so we did not find one decent steak house, obviously everything is very fish orientated.
The pool is a lovely area but no matter how hot the weather was the pool was always freezing. As for location, it is not great. If your holiday is to stay around the pool and the beach it is ideal but it is very much located on a dingy smelly road half way between Salou and Cambrils.
Night time entertainment was very cabaret. We did find a lot of older people there and they enjoyed the waltzing and the jiving.
All in all it is a lovely hotel (getting a little 80s now and in need of a revamp) but it was very clean. If you plan to stay there and have a child under 1 that needs bottles heated and sterilised etc, this is not the hotel for you.
If I was to return I would stay in the center of Cambrils, as it is a beautiful relaxed place with a love Marina, way more upper class then where we were.
All in all it is a lovely hotel.

Hotel was really clean and good value for money. Ideal for couples and families. It is set in mainly a residential area half way between Salou and Cambrils. If you want the discos then Salou is the place; but if you want a quiet realxing place them Cambrils is ideal. Excellent bus service, as I am a wheelchair user with walking difficulties I had no problems at all using the buses. Would be a problem for those who are permanently wheelchair users as the local busses do not yet have wheelchcair ramps. We especailly loved the promenade which stretched all the way from Salou to Cambrils. the closer you came to Cambrils the cleaner it got. I was suprised to see portaloos for wheelchair users on the beaches. Our only problen was with Thomson Holidays they got the flight numbers and timings wrong at both the UK and Spanish departures. There was a 3 hour delay on our flight home and we were stuck in Reus airport for 3 hours with no holiday representative in sight. when we finally boarded our plane for our flight home we were not even given an apology or any explanation from either the flight or cabin staff. Shame on you Thomsons. Apart from this cockup from Thomsons we thoroughly enjoyed our two week holiday at the Cambrils Princess hotel. Would highly recommend it. Only don't book through Thomsons do it yourself or go with First Choice.

I was very disappointed with this holiday/hotel.
The hotel was VERY dated and desperately needs a re-vamp!
The pool was very crowded at all times and the food was very greasy and seemed to be the same things all the time.
The room was kept very clean but were small.
The location is good in the fact that it is very close to beach but the view from the room and pool is a very busy main road.
There are plenty of places to eat but they are all pizza and burger places.
The water park was good, bus service was helpful. We walked into Cambrils and Salou looking for good nightlife and all we found was Blackpool!!!!
The good points were a hypnotist in one of the bars down the road (very funny) and the jeep safari trip (drive your own- lots of fun) I would not go to this hotel ever again

This is our fifth time to the Cambrills Princess Hotel in Costa Dorada. What a holiday. The staff are so friendly and could not do enough for you. You could get drinks and food brought down to you while lying at the pool side.
The hotel is kept spotless,rooms cleaned everyday.pool is massive and well maintained. They have a gym and sauna beside pool which is well kept. This year for three euros you can hire a pool umbrella to keep cool with on those hot days. When you give umbrella back you get your three euros back. Poolside bar do lovly food why not try the cambrills burger and chips beautiful.
The restaurant food is very nice but sometimes a little to rich. The night bar is very busy but you just sit outside and relax watch the entertainment and let the waitiers serve you.
All in all fantastic. Roll on 2005.

Lovely hotel. I went for a relaxing week away with my sister and on first impressions we thought the decor was very eighties! However, we were impressed with the level of cleanliness in all areas of the hotel. The food was superb. I am a vegetarian and I found that for breakfast and dinner the choice was brilliant. The pool bar didnt offer much for me at lunchtime, but I was more than happy with a beer and a packet of crisps!
The staff were amazingly friendly and we felt very safe here.
Our only complaint was the entertainment, which really insnt suited for people in their 20's.
I would definitely visit this hotel again, but only for a relaxing break, not a lively holiday.

For the price this is a decent holiday choice.
The hotel is starting to look a bit old (80s feel), and some of the carpets are worn. Needs an update.
The place is very clean. Rooms are standard size, two single beds, bathroom and balcony, but they put an additional folding bed in for are 3 yr old, so space was limited.
Also had to pay

First time at this hotel. Fairly quiet location on the main road but Cambrils and Salou walkable distance. Plenty of taxis (approx 7-9 euro) and regular cheap bus service though. Hotel geared towards older couples and families - good cabaret every night but everything stops before midnight. Food excellent and the usual cafes etc nearhand. Try for a front facing room as the trains ARE noisy - even with the doors closed !
Beach very near and excellent (except for the beach vendors). Pool super with poolside food.
Hint: on day of departure we asked to pay extra to keep our room as we we're leaving till tea-time. First receptionist said sorry they we fully booked - I went back later and asked another receptionist and no problem !!!
Many more pluses than minuses - would go again

Great hotel!
Stayed here about 6 years ago and decided to return to see if it was still as good.
Great selection of food even for our fussy 6yr old.
Pool or beach is about it unless you like walking or, fancy a bit of entertainment trying to catch the bus, but we just relaxed around the Hotel and took a trip to Port Adventura.
Try to make sure you get a room at the front if you want to avoid the train noise although entertainment did run till midnight most of the time so not that much in it.
Can't wait to return in 2005.

I booked this hotel with Alpha-Beds after reading reviews which said it was like Heaven. Not the Heaven Im hoping to go to! The reception was beautiful-just like something Id only ever seen in films.
We had requested a quite room as I was travelling with my elderly mother and 4 year old son and had heard there was a railway track behind the hotel. Our room was on the fourth floor. It could possibly have been one of the noisest rooms in the place.
Walking to the room you would have been forgiven for thinking you were staying in a hostel. The carpets were threadbare and the hall dark. Our room was miniscule. I have never suffered from claustrophia but I came close to it on this holiday.
It was really only a single room with 3 beds shoved into it. We could barely walk around the room. There was only 1 lamp in the room as the rest had been taken so the beds could be moved in. We asked for a change of room immediately and reception staff very rudely refused saying it was out of the question.
We had to ask for pillows and it was a whole 24hrs before we got them after asking 3 times! I got practically no sleep as out room was looking over the main road where there was a pedestrain crossing, traffic lights and a bus stop.
And I can tell you the Spainish are noisey drivers anytime of the day or night. Our breakfast and dinner was included which was fine if not extremely greasy. The pool was beautiful with plenty of sunloungers available.
When I informed Alpha-Beds about the hotel they got onto them. In a letter I later received Princess Cambrills are saying that when I asked for a change of room I refused!! Why would I do that? So they were not accepting the complaint.

We stayed at the Cambrills Princess in 2004. The brochure was rather flattering to the hotel (in my opinion).
It was very clean and proffessional, as werer the staff. The kiddies entertainment was excellent, but the adult evening entertainment was a little dated.
My only area of criticism is the food. Plenty of it, but the variety and quality were questionable.
The local transport system is excellent though so Salou and Cambrills town are a mere 5 minute bus ride away.
