The apartment was very clean and the towels were changed every 2 or 3 days. The maids and reception staff were very friendly, and could all speak good English.
The apartment was a little small for 4 people sharing but it was clean and had a decent sized balcony. The pool was lovely. There was a lifeguard for the first week of our holiday.
The location of the apartments would be unsuitable for those with walking difficulties as it was located on a hill. However, it was close to all amenities, with restaurants, shops etc practically on the doorstep.
I would visit these apartments again as I enjoyed my stay there. I found the apartments and the whole package tour excellent value for money.

We were a bit dubious after to reading bad reports but as someone else has stated they were unfounded.
Good location.
Clean but basic apartments but there again we only wanted somewhere to wash and sleep. Towels changed at least 5 times out of the 7 days we were there, maids were very friendly as were the reception staff .
Plenty of pubs restaurants ect all around but we didn't find the noise too much of a problem pool area always managed to get a sunbed/ very clean lifeguard a bit too strict though regarding inflatables and balls ect however once he went it was a different story.
All in all we had a good holiday and made some great friends.

Stayed in the Maraposa Apartments, and without doubt it was the noisiest, dirtiest apartment we have ever had the misfortune to visit.
Some of the reception staff were unhelpful and offensive, and an Irish bar directly below us played IRA tunes very loudly until 2 in the morning at least, accompanied by stamping of feet and what sounded like drums!
I tried to get a complaint form from Rep, but she kept stalling and in the end was nowhere to be seen for 3 days!
The photo in the brochure led you to believe it was a different hotel, and the

this was my first visit to spain staying at the mariposa apartments. The first apartment we were given was not clean. we were given another one but my sister and nieces bed was rock hard and the racket from the nearby bars kept us awake all night. all you could hear was the clanking of doors all night. looks like a prison and thought we were in one. Hotel from hell. We stayed one night and paid seventy pound to upgrade to a four star at la pananda abosulute luxury.
Not a good location up a steep hill no view and nose from local bars all night.
not twenty four hour reception any trouble no one around anyway. Also had to pay a deposit on arrival we were not aware of.
Definately would not stay at this place again, the stuff of nightmares. Do not waste your money on this place

We have to say that after having read some of the reports on this website, we were dreading staying at these apartments, however it turned out that the accommodation was no where near as awful as it was portrayed to be.
Had we paid seven thousand pounds for this holiday then we would definately had cause to complain - in this life you get what you pay for!!
The hotel staff were friendly and helpul.
Our first impression on walking into the apartment was how clean the floor was - ok some of the furniture had seen better days, but then so has some of ours! The rooms were cleaned and bed linen and towels changed regularly. We were woken by noisy residents on our first evening there, but became oblivious to it from then on.
The fact that Port Aventura is on your doorstep has to be a big plus, especially when you have three boys to entertain. We all thoroughly enjoyed our holiday in Salou and are under pressure from our children to rebook and to stay at the Mariposas Apartments - they had a terrific time, met some nice people, had fun and enjoyed bombing in the pool, even if the old fuddy duddies gave them evil looks - the lifeguard actually taught them how to bomb properly.
Our advice is take it for what it is - basic, clean accommodation in a resort with lots to do, places to eat, places to visit, etc - the kids were happy, so we were happy. Let your hair down - you never know you might quite enjoy the experience.

We stayed at the Mariposa and despite what people say we found it clean.
The cleaners came in three times to change the towels. The staff were very helpful and friendly.

This is the worst holiday I have ever had!
When my family actually arrived at this dump they call the Mariposa Appartments, we were disgusted with the room, the smell, there is only 1 word for this place and that is filth!
There were dirty floors....Dirty linen....Dirty towels, everything was really filthy!
We arrived at 3am, so we just went to sleep, we were so tired, but the following morning my 1yr baby was crawling on the floor for 5 mins and his hands and knees were black with dirt. The drawers had srews hanging out of them and we had flickering lights and the fridge would turn on and off when it felt like it! Sickening!
You do not want to stay here, believe me!

The Mariposa is a ugly, neglected dump. It is quite the worst holiday accommodation I have had the misfortune to come across. It resembles a prison block complete with bars across the bedroom windows.
There is no air con which makes nights unbearable not withstanding the incessant noise from both other residents and from streets below.
The reception staff are arrogant and treated us as though we were stupid.
Rooms were cleaned only twice in the week we stayed. The towels were changed only twice and the bed linen not at all. I was quite grateful for this as I did not want to see the state of the mattress!.
The pool was adequate but had no facilities well thats not quite true as there was a hole in the ground purporting to be the toilet.
My advise is not to book these apartments they are quite horrible. They are give a 3A rating by travel agents - this means absolutely nothing. The whole experience was awful.

I went to the Mariposa in peak season, so after reading various reviews I thought it would be even worse. However, my holiday was one of the best I've had.
The corridors were never dirty - despite being lined with mirrors and there was never a mark on them.
I only stayed for a week but the maids gave us a huge pile of clean towels three times. We only had one complaint during our holiday and was due to one of our shutters becoming stuck and the staff at reception and the My Travel rep were very helpful and it was fixed the very same day.
The hotel wasn't much to look at from the outside but the rooms inside were well decorated and furniture as well as spotless.
The Mariposa isn't the most expensive hotel in the resort so we were not expecting anything luxurious!
It is situated in the centre of the resort so is lovely for going to the beach and around the shops. There is a good nightlife but I didn't experience any noise problems throughout my holiday. There is a hotel down the road who plays music throughout the day but it wasn't too loud at all.
All I can say is the Mariposa is a lovely hotel if you want a holiday in a good location but are on a budget.
