Hotels with pool in Catalonia

All the staff were friendly, the pool areas were nice with a nice place area for kids. Only issue is that people were reserving sunbeds from before 8am and weren’t appearing to use them until atleast 1pm

The Hotel was amazing, staff very friendly and helpful. There were no rush to put towels on loungers as there were plenty of beds available. No long queue at the bar or at the restaurant

Check-in went smoothly, Patricia, young and professional, welcomed us. 5 Euros per day for the safe plus a 20 Euros deposit. The room was very clean, the towels were changed daily

We chose the half board option, the food options let the hotel down, very repetitive, not much choice and guests were rude, you would be queuing to use the coffee machine and people would walk right infront of you to use it next, one of the worst hotels I’ve been to for food choices, meal times were very stressful

The maids do an excellent job and leave everything clean and tidy, I caught them one day when we returned from the beach cleaning the glass wall of the shower with active foam

The only oddity at this hotel are the green cards that you have to exchange every time at the bars for the hard plastic cup in which you are given your drink

We don’t drink, so I can’t comment on the drinks, other than to say the bars seemed to be doing good business, both inside the building and poolside

This was a great place to stay. Staff were all lovely There was a fairly extensive drink menu for all inclusive. Food was okay (nothing to worry home about) but there was something for everyone

Entertainment was local and seemed like a lot of fun. Children all seemed to be entertained and happy. A few people taking advantage of the all inclusive drinks but that can't be helped

We went in September 2025 for our honeymoon. The hotel was very clean and modern. It is a very busy hotel, so keep in mind the queues and lack of sunbeds

For the strenuous visitors, there’s a full gym, with various exercise machines, which we (thankfully!) only discovered on our last night. I can’t imagine why this wonderful hotel only warrants 3 stars

I would definitely recommend a visit though and I think I will be back

Went to report concerns over the safety of floor round pool. Got told to go away as they were busy booking a group of people in and would get someone to look at it. The 4 days we were there it didnt get looked at

The bar staff were polite and friendly. When we asked why pool bar wasnt open which it as been on previous trips told it was shut for good. Also roof top bar not open even though weather was lovely

Saying that all the staff we came a cross, were working hard and was always busy and polite. The Adult pool had black mould/algie around the edges at the bottom of the pool and behind the steps

The location is good rooms are basic but clean. This hotel is advertised as 5 star. We have been here a few times and only thing thats changed is new sun loungers and from 4 star to 5 star

The main pool near the bar is over ran with 18-30s and they were throwing chairs in the pool

The first room we was given had one plug socket which we couldnt reach and no balcony. The food was same choice every day although the food was nice. Before when we stayed they used to mix it up every other day

However, the service was definitely on point, and the sea view and location were arguably the best. The gym was also a thoughtful touch, with water and towels placed on every treadmill

The room amenities were as described online, though the beds looked quite old and the facilities were generally average. The lighting in the room was a bit dim

It takes them 15 minutes to check in one person and the Elite line take even longer than regular both times!

Pretty and nice beach. Everything is clean and nice to enjoy for vacation

They are so slow and disorganised. Even for the most trivial things we waited a minimum of 15 minutes. The peak was after calling the reception desk four times and waiting 45 minutes for some towels

The infinity pool is beautiful, but the service is quite average, not up to five-star hotel standards.

Super nice new hotel with multiple pools. Nice staff and extensive breakfast buffet. We were here for 3 days in October but are definitely planning to come back in the summer!

The hotel is beautifully designed, with a swimming pool, blue sky and sea as standard

Many locals come here for vacation! The breakfast is rich in variety, the service staff is also very enthusiastic, the room is spacious and comfortable, I will come here a few more times next time to enjoy a few more days!

The hotel is beautiful, the rooms are spacious and close to the sea, the train station, and the bus stop right across the street. There are plenty of restaurants nearby, and the breakfast is a pure delight

Super top hotel. Ontbijt en diner fantastisch. Bamboo roof top bar also very good. Faciliteiten are 5*****

The hotel is very close to the station, the environment is very good, and the holiday principle is good.

Lovely hotel with fantastic facilities. The buffet breakfast was impressive with a wide choice. The hotel is bigger than we expected and the rooms were a little noisy but it was run well and we had no issues

It’s between Cambrils and Salou and you would need to walk 30mins. There are taxis/buses available either

Nice hotel room was nice and spacious clean staff nice and polite generally. the only downside was the breakfast the hot food wasnt the best and there wasnt any entertainment for children

We stayed for 2 days, but we were not happy with the shower, the water used to leak into the main room. And the the tea or coffee in the room was never refilled

The food choices in the restaurant was not great so we had food outside. But it was decent not the great experience

Happy to recommend My stay fulfilled all my expectations of a vacation I'd promised myself.

The hotel offered excellent service throughout our stay. The staff were attentive and welcoming. The room was comfortable and well maintained. The food was fine and satisfying

Overall, a very good experience worth recommending

Our stay at the Grand Hyatt Barcelona was exceptional — easily one of the best five-star hotels I’ve ever stayed at. The experience was so good that we genuinely didn’t want to leave the hotel to explore the city

The pool area was a definite highlight, with plenty of handsome guests! Plus, it's conveniently located right next to El Corte Inglés department store. I'll absolutely be staying here again on my next visit

The location is excellent, particularly the convenience of its proximity to Camp Nou, which was a nice bonus for us. The staff were incredibly helpful and genuinely nice, making us feel welcome throughout our stay

The room itself was a highligh, clean, very spacious, and modern. I particularly appreciated the intuitive controls for the lights and window shades; it made the room very comfortable

Breakfast and dinner buffet were delicious with plenty of choices both for adults and kids. Rooms would need a bit of renovations but you are there to have fun in the park not to stay in the room

Nice hotel in many ways, theme is Wild West with country music playing all over. The only thing we were unhappy with is that the swimmingpools should be open before and after Port Aventura park opens and closes

Very nice family hotel for the visit of PortAventura. Park admission is included from the day of arrival till the day of departure, access to the park is from the hotel

If you need to get back to the hotel from Ferrari Land, then there is pathway accross the parking lot because the PortAventura is closed in the evening

Pool towels are not included in this hotel so bring your own or you'll have to fork out 25-30€ per towel at the shop

We booked gold river hotel for a week over halloween as a package with Jet2. It included unlimited access to Portaventura and 1 day at Ferrari world. After reading some of the negative reviews we were a bit apprehensive

##########update################## Please try to add a drinking water bottle at least one per night, it will not cost much🤭and a set of tissues near the bed or the TV Unit Bigger TV would really be a nice touch , the office underneath doesnot have a visible plug, I had to “redecorate” the room just to plug my laptop The USB plugs near bed are a nice touch

Free wifi and parking! Near park + 2 visitor pass for stay. For breakfast you need to reserve timeslot and be sure in you do it late your breakfast timeslot will be 8:00 - 8:40. These only one sad thing for our stay

I hope my reviews help you guys improve your guest experience to earn the 4 stars and more. ##########update################## Buffet is really nice and tasty, wide variety

Only negative points were checkin took forever and queues in parks were loooonnnng. Hotel is clean and tidy and prices for food and drink are reasonable for a resort hotel

PS no bottled water in rooms

This hotel needs a total overhaul, starting with the owner/management. The staff looked over worked and could hardly raise a smile, which I felt was reflected over the whole park

Inma, Marta, Melody, Miguel are very good at customer service. Thank you all for your excellent hospitality. You all made our stay very remarkable. Inma was very helpful with drink proposals

Marta made my son feel very welcome. Melody provided excellent services throughout and gave us directions. Miguel was very customer friendly especially during the night shows

Me and my fiancé has the absolute best time here on our little September get away! Not only did I get engaged at the hotel we had amazing service from all the bar team especially Marta she’s a brilliant lady who really cares about everyone she serves she definitely made our time extra special!! The rooms are immaculate and the pool is amazing many sunbeds for all to enjoy and the animation team did...

We don’t eat here otherwise, so I can’t say much more about that. Unfortunately, reserving sunbeds with towels does happen, but in general you can still find a spot

Marta being our favourite with her beautiful smile with service every day. Couldn't recommend this hotel enough we will hopefully be back in the future!! Pools- AMAZING Staff- AMAZING

And the location is perfect not far away from anywhere and there’s so much transport around if you wanted to travel further

We mentioned that we planned to dine at the Japanese restaurant, and she not only made a call, but also checked in later to see how everything was going — such a thoughtful touch! Another person who completely won our hearts was Andy, the bartender at the lobby bar

A truly wonderful hotel with the perfect balance of location, price, and service! Rooms are clean and well equipped and our view was amazing. We felt welcomed and cared for throughout our entire stay

I had a very wonderful and luxurious experience. Endurance attended to me, and the service was absolutely exceptional. From start to finish, they were professional, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect

We’re continuing our trip through Spain and will be staying at the Catalonia San Sebastián next — our expectations are high after such an amazing experience here! Thank you for making our stay so special

Beautiful hotel in a fun spot! Comfy room !Metro station right outside front door. Many shops and eateries within short distance—even laundromats if you pack light and want to refresh your clothes

The food was really tasty, well-prepared, and beautifully presented. Thanks to Endurance, the whole experience felt smooth, comfortable, and truly enjoyable. I’d definitely love to come back again

Drinks and snacks reasonable compared to what was around (ice-creams same price as little shops, drinks obv more than cans as you expect). Pool was nice, part hot some shade which I thought was a bonus

this is a 3 star hotel rooms are clean, and well kept we had a room overlooking the pool staff are friendly we hired a kettle for the room only 9euro and you get it back when you return it

Awesome, just a walk away from the theme park, nice spa and buffet. The pool was in the sun and warmed up for the kids in the afternoon, there were a few water slides around the pool

Little kids splash pool was good. We were half board, I liked the food, plenty of options for the kids. Would def stay again, for the price we paid it was great

2 double beds for 2 adults and 2 kids, ok for 8 and 11 year old. Not much extra space, but what do you need space for when on holiday?! Bathroom decent, shower was good

The staff were amazing with the kids, very entertaining and engaging, fun games etc through the day and evening entertainment kept them amused

Food it's okay don't expect super high standards and one day the food is in my opinion a way better then the other day ( but no complaints). If you go 2 weeks expect the same dishes the second week, the menu won't change

That the rooms are bit out dated i agree, but I know they are busy with planning a renovation what also is really needed!! Location is perfect it's close to the beach and shops

The surrounding area is nice though touristy, as the hotel is in a hotel zone, and has many small souvenir shops and other hotels nearby that offer evening entertainment

We visit the hotel for over 25 years now, we have seen a lot of changes. I won't say they all are positive but for us the hotel is fine

Able to pre-order for lunch time and evening meal but if not they took me around every single item to advise if I could eat it or not. All the staff in restaurant were lovely and so friendly and built a repoire with you

The animation team were absolutely fantastic. Javier and his team worked so hard entertaining everyone. They even allowed my daughter to work with them and she starred in the Michael Jackson show with them

The pool area was also good, but afraid it was too noisy for me so I didn’t spend any time there. Between the music and the kids screaming it didn’t make for a relaxing experience

- The pool area is quite limited for kids as is the kids club. The entertainment team make up for this but a small water park for kids would make it much better

Super quiet even with full capacity, the service in the restaurant is awesome and professional, you can ask for anything and they will do their best for you. I love the charming enviroment they've created

I stayed here for a week with my family in August 2025. The entertainment group is by far the best part of this hotel, they are amazing, upbeat and really seem to love what they do, it was the highlight of our time here

We visited the hotel with our Family and had a family room with two sleeping rooms. The room and the hotel overall were clean, friendly staff and the food selection (half board) was very good

The beach is only a 5 minutes walk and there are a lot of shops, restaurants and supermarkets next to the hotel. We used the Train to Barcelona (-70 minutes) for a day trip

Stayed in october for a little break, the hotel was good value for money and very clean. The rooms could do with updating and the food needs more variety but other than that we enjoyed our stay and would go again

The cover is torn and has holes. Still have a yellow spot on my chest. The bathroom is also worn out. The tub, chrome taps and railings are already been blur. The shower curtain should be put in the trash

Great location for a quiet family holiday. Kids pool with a slide and large pool with a big area where little ones can play (about 0. Food was good, small pre-made plates helped reduce food waste

Towels were changed every day. The inside of the water bottle was dirty in the restaurant. :( But the food is sufficient, tasty and varied. The beach is a few minutes' walk away

The hotel is old. 4* do not pull on the interior. The kitchen is good. Normal pool.

Stayed here years ago and decided to come back. It's not as cheap as it was but then what is ? The food has improved, can't really fault it, lots of choice and plenty of meat options

A lost star for the room always feeling a little bit sandy, but I know this is hard with it being on the beach. We didn’t use the pool or sun beds as it wasn’t quite warm enough

Our stay was 5 days, but it was fantastic. The hotel was beautiful, spacious, the breakfast was great, and the service was fantastic. Everything was close by. The rooms were cleaned daily. We will definitely be back.

Walking distance to a small town with shops, cafes, restaurants, amusements, multiple parks and shops. There is also a small supermarket next to the hotel with a cash machine

The food was FABULOUS a nice dining experience with everything on offer. Breakfast & dinner both enjoyable and healthy options along with toddler friendly food

Can’t comment on the entertainment as we didn’t go but there was multiple activities advertised each day and a mini disco and adult entertainment each day

Bike hire is available at the front desk, 2 bikes (one with a child seat attached) and kid helmet for €20. Perfect break for a family with toddler

Part of a family vacation. The all-inclusive part (dinner) left more to wish for. Pool area got quite crowded, but still very nice with professional service personnel.

The apartments were cleaned dally without any exceptions and extra towels were always available when needed. Thank you for a wonderful experience at the hotel. We will be back again someday soon !!

The hotel was an excellent choice! Food was lovely with lots of choices throughout the day all freshly cooked and prepared. The chefs and staff were amazing. Every request was acted upon instantly which was appreciated

There was activities during the day at kids club that they liked and also activities for the adults like water polo, darts, archery and table tennis. There is a mini park on site and crazy golf course

The food was good and the kids and the bonus of hot dogs/ burgers/ chips and rolls to name but a few during the day. Fully recommend this hotel for children the age of mine

The children’s entertainment was fantastic especially since this was the last week of trade for the hotel. Cesar and all the animation team were exceptional

The Ritz-Carlton brand speaks for itself and the expectation is high when staying here, as to be expected. The hotel was wonderful, and the staff were exceptional and attentive, and the food was also truly at a 5* level

We had a wonderful stay at the Ritz-Carlton Arts in Barcelona. The suite had an incredible panoramic view of the city and the Mediterranean which made the stay memorable

The room was great! It's also very close to the beach, within walking distance, and the scenery is beautiful! The hotel staff were very friendly too! The breakfast had a wide variety of options! I'll definitely stay here again if I have the chance!

It was my mom’s birthday and they decorated the room and gave us cava and a cake. Marina the club lounge manager, Guillermo the club lounge supervisor, and honestly everyone we got into contact with were all amazing

The hotel is set along a beautiful beach with a large fish sculpture and marina. We especially enjoyed the rooftop pool. Great service and many restaurants in the area to choose from. Looking forward to our next stay!

Housekeeping were also great, each day we'd come back to a super clean room This hotel is certainly on an international 5 star level and exceeds European standards by miles

Okay we were in Spain, but the majority of other guests were not Spanish and I find this quite exclusive and somewhat rude. 3:The surrounding area is very residential and this wasn't made clear on the TUI website

A large hotel with a huge number of people from different countries. Delicious and varied cuisine. Small pool for such a scale.

There was nothing terribly wrong with the hotel, just a few niggles which meant that we wouldn't return. 1: No tea and coffee facilities in the room which in a hotel pertaining to be 4* is poor

I’ve recently returned from a 4 night stay at this hotel to celebrate my friends 21st birthday and it was honestly amazing

We got a taxi to Portaventura and it said €23 but the taxi driver charged us €32!!! Which was a complete scam! Following this we go the bus back to the hotel (we know nothing about bus’s but we managed to get back okay only costing us €8 altogether by going on 2 different buses!) The hotel is also right on the beach too! Rooms- The room was gorgeous, the shower pressure was amazing

Food and drink - There was plenty of different foods to chose from, I am not a picky eater but there was something for everyone, the only one thing I could say about the food is that there isn’t hashbrows at breakfast but that’s me just clutching at straws! The drinks were good, although if your wanting top brands then you have to pay a bit more and the cocktails are on tap

Fun walk the trailers from the beach to the centre of Salou. The hotel itself has a swimming pool, the kitchen is gorgeous, champagne in the morning

Lovely location/ great views/ food was normal for Spain / the meat was quite salty/ reception staff need to smile a bit more

Pool staff were great / nice beach walks / nice food restaurants local especially the Mexican just down the road 👌 also the steak house 👌/ you need to take a kettle and cups if you want tea otherwise you can loan one for £20 a week / refundable

We have had a fantastic time at this hotel! Entertainment staff were incredible and we could definitely tell how much they love their jobs. The theme nights were enjoyable especially when trying all the yummy food

Thank you for such an amazing holiday and hopefully one day we will be back

Also There's a few nice beaches nearby and plenty of bars to go to! The negatives are, the walls in the rooms are thin and you can hear next door having a conversation at night and the air con isn't great either
