Golden Acqua Salou

Guests lauded the spotless rooms and friendly staff. The breakfast variety caters to different tastes. Rooms are comfortable with sea views and daily cleaning. Balconies provide relaxation.

We are a couple in our early 60s. We enjoyed our stay. This hotel is very clean and convenient. Se stayed on a half-board basis and enjoyed all our meals. The staff are all very pleasant and friendly. During our stay Spain experienced a major power outage. This hotel coped very well and although running on a back-up power supply provided the evening meal buffet to a top standard. I recommend this hotel and definitely would stay again if I stay in Salou again.

This was our first visit to Salou, so we didn't know the area or the hotel, but we were very pleased with both. The hotel is relatively small in comparison to most around; not faultless, but it's a decent place to stay. The room we had was a standard room, and it was plenty big enough, with a decent sized balcony. It's a very built-up area, and we didn't have much of a view, but that didn't worry us, it was still pleasant to sit out. We had large twin beds, which were pushed together and were quite comfortable. There's a fridge, kettle and cups provided in the room and a safe, but you have to pay for the safe separately. There were only a handful of British channels on the TV. The bathroom, again, is a good size, with a great walk-in shower. The housekeepers kept the room clean and tidy, and provided fresh towels every day. We stayed half-board and were a bit worried about the food, having read some reviews, but overall we were happy. Breakfast can get a bit busy at times, and you sometimes have to wait a few minutes to be shown to a table, but the waiting staff are very friendly and hard working and look after you well. The usual hot and cold breakfast selection is available, decent quality and always replenished when anything runs low. Just on odd occasions some of the items can be less than hot and I did warm up some scrambled eggs in the microwave, one morning, but overall, no complaints......apart from the toasters. Instead of the usual conveyor belt type toaster they just had two domestic pop-up toasters, which just weren't up to the job, so there were often queues for toast and I didn't bother when it was like that. Fried eggs, omelettes etc were cooked fresh for you at the hotplate. Evening meals were also very good. We thought they would have been a bit limited in variety, but they certainly weren't. One niggle was that some of the dishes weren’t labelled, so you couldn’t tell what they were. As well as the hot buffet selection there was always a cook at the hotplate, cooking steaks, burgers, fish and the like to order. Bottled water was provided free to the table, or other drinks could be ordered, and paid for at the end. The bar area and terrace were usually fairly quiet in the evening, so we enjoyed a few drinks and coffees after dinner - again the staff were very friendly. But on several evenings they did have a singer on, from about 9pm, which drew in a few more people. The bar also serves sandwiches and other hot and cold snacks during the day, which we found to be of good quality and value. We didn't use the pool itself, but it was always clean and the terrace was quite pleasant. The sunbeds were often full, but there was usually somewhere to sit with a drink etc. There is also an inside pool, gym and small games room available. The location of the hotel is quite noisy in the evening, mainly outdoor entertainment at other nearby hotels, but it didn't carry on too late, and as it is a little bit away from the resort ce
