Golden Port Salou & Spa Map, Address, Transportation & Nearest Stations and Airport

Reviews vary greatly for this property and that in part must be due to such a varied amount of accommodation available within the Hotel Gold River complex. We had previously stayed at the highest category hotel here Mansion De Lucy and was unsure how Gold River would compare, it turned out very favourably indeed. One concern we had was finding out that the fast pass options for rides were no longer granted for length of stay and instead in general it did appear there were few advantages of staying on resort however we found out that certain fast passes that include a single ride on each of the main attractions are valid for use over 2 consecutive days, it is well worth adding on the 1st row supplement which is just 5 Euro. This alongside a Seasme Adventure fast pass of 7 Euro meant it was 50 Euro each for 2 days of guaranteed rides. So for our 5 night stay we opted for this on our 2nd and 3rd day, and then our 5th and 6th final day. Ferrari Land is still included for 1 visit per stay and we also opted for the fast pass there too 23 Euro as we expected it to be busy as it was unusually open at night after PortAventura had closed. We opted for a full board package with Jet 2 and this made our spending money on resort go so far as we found the 3 course lunch that could be taken at numerous quick service restaurants was sufficient to share so we often would split our Lunches in the park up which also include a drink (bar a 1 Euro reusable cup charge) Food quality was outstanding, works out at about £16.50 for 3 course including a drink if you aren't full board so great value, think pasta bolognese to start, chicken dippers and fries for main, fresh fruit salad for dessert and a drink. I had been in touch with the hotel prior to our visit and asked to add on our fast passes along with some flowers and Cava alongside a request for a room in the main city hall, they were extremely efficient and helpful in arranging this and upon arrival everything had been taken care of, including the requested room in City Hall with the most amazing views of both parks and the sea. I would like to know how much Disney would try and extort from you for this view. The room was very clean and serviced daily with a nice deep bath, quite noisy at 10pm which seemed to be the most popular time for guests to eat but by Midnight very quiet. I did have concerns about the bookings for the restaurant as others have commented you get a 40 min time limit for breakfast and an hour for dinner for a couple this was fine but a large family may struggle. We found out on the last 2 nights that still water was complimentary at dinner. At both breakfast and dinner there was the most wonderful bread station which had a very large choice of different bread and in the morning pastries. Food was well topped up and loads kf choice for starters and desserts, a little less so for main courses and if nothing we fancied we chose from the kids options which are more fast food. Service was lovely thr

Great option to stay if you want to visit Port Aventura amusement park. Staying for the night at the hotel will grant you access to the park on both days, the check-in and the check-out. Rooms are clean and comfortable, for a good rest after spending the day at the park. The swimming pool is also amazing, big and beautiful, it is an adventure in itself. Only issue is the service: you can feel that the staff do their best, however during peak season, they are so busy that for sure you will have to line up in order to get anything done. They are moving ahead and making moves for automatic self-service processes: like self- check out, but still is not enough. You gotta then have some patience and wait until your turn comes.

We stayed here with a large group of friends, Montse. I hope i got your name right. You were excellent, and thank you for your patience. lol we had an issue with a party member but was dealt with amicably and very professionally. As for the hotel . The pool was top-notch and cold, but i like that . Bar was decent , and the food was average .but being a chef myself, I am critical.there is a quiz karaoke and bingo on Each night The rooms were fabulous, very spacious and clean , and the bed I found very comfortable. There is everything we needed the shower head needs replaced but again .that's materialistic. Reception girls are really on point and fantastic to work with. For me, it is a great place and will return (with my family next time ) .thank you .

Good first impressions - well put together hotel with great amenities and nice staff. First evening I ordered room service - It took over 1hour 15 minutes to arrive, and that's after I went to ask at the reception. Also the room door wouldn't shut properly - it was still open when it seemingly had clunked shut - but this was dealt with swiftly, thank you. First shower I had - oh dear - it has a head with one narrow spray (not like a regular/ normal round or rectangular one) that fires at you almost horizontally and in a narrow clump (irritating and impractical) - so even when you try and slow the pressure, it still goes to the back of the bath, over the bath end, and swamps the bathroom - firstly you simply cannot shower with such a dumb 'design student' reject style shower head, and secondly you'll spend several minutes after finishing having a shower, using up all the towels to mop the bathroom floor, and leave them in a giant wet mess, only to start smelling during the night - terrific (not) ! The last time I experienced a shower head that went only horizontal over the back of the bath, was a (very good, apart from this,) two star hotel in Morocco - but even that one had a regular round head (so you could actually wash properly/ normally under it), not a single tiny narrow head like at this hotel. The room I had was the cheapest, and apart from not having an opening window (I know this is kind of standard these days, so I'm not bothered), it was a well appointed comfortable room and even had a side view of the Med, which was great. People will always come to this hotel because of its awesome location, including a roof terrace ..commanding some of the best full vantage points in Tarragona (and many other reasons), but I hope the complacency of them knowing this, doesn't hold them back from considering customers' improvements / suggestions. I had pasta carbonara for dinner the 2nd night - a few tubes of pasta in a thin limp sauce, with some almost microscopic strands of ham (seemed like a microwave job) - no bread with it, no salad, very very unsatisfactory it was ..I was still hungry, so I ordered a small pizza, which was ok, but seemed like a basic supermarket one (it wasn't good), and it took a long time to arrive. The rooftop pool, they call a 'plunge pool', but this is underselling it - I did lots of lengths in it, it's maybe 4ft deep .. it's great. The lower pool is also nice and is much bigger and deeper. The day I left, the fire alarm went off at about 7am - A bit annoying. Some people started to leave the building and some probably didn't. This is overall a very good hotel, and I was really impressed. I liked the staff on reception, the breakfast staff and the rooftop bar/ restaurant staff - they were all very friendly and very efficient - This is especially nice when you're by yourself. Tarragona is great and swimming in the sea was wonderful too.

We found the hotel to be very suitable for us as it was lovely quiet, very relaxing with lots of mature palm trees and great swimming pools. All the noisy attractions very nearby so there is something for everyone. Food was good too just the waiting time to come in to the restaurant and the fact that you had to finish eating within less than an hour was annoying. But even though we would come back. We would love if the other restaurant which was not included in the half board meal option started opening from lunch time so customers could buy nice lunch inside the resort instead of looking somewhere else most of the days. There is food at the pool bar but not much choice.

Estival Do Dorado Resort near Cambrils is a really great place to spend a holiday, the food is great, my partner loves how much choice he has, the staff are so friendly and helpful and it is just such a lovely space to holiday in. I have Coeliac Disease so have to fill a menu in for my meals and be careful with some drinks, but the staff are so understanding and helpful, the slightest crumb can make me ill so I have to be very careful of cross contamination too. On our first night there it wasn't too busy in the sports bar and Eddie, who was on the bar that evening, checked all the bottles for me and made me a couple of cocktails. It was so nice and such a change. I usually just stick to my gluten free Daura Damm lager or vodka and sprite, so that was a refreshing change and I felt very special and spoiled 😊. Ariana who is the young lady working on the sports bar most evenings was wonderful, so cheerful and funny, she had taught herself English really well since April, I was so impressed, and glad, as it made it easier for us with no Spanish 😉. We had some brilliant evenings sat at her bar 😁. Aaron who had started the year before, when we were there in June, was brilliant too, such a cheerful lad and a natural on the main bar, Eddie has taught him well!! 😉!! I must not forget the rest of the staff on the main bar either, all of them are just amazing, they never seem to stop, I love their energy and the way they make you feel so welcome 😍. Annabelle, who ran the adult pool bar previously and now works sometimes in the restaurant, is always so helpful and friendly, such a lovely Lady, it was great to see her again, and she remembered us💞. The young lady on the adults only pool bar now was lovely too!! We have stayed here 3 times now, which says it all. I see there are some poor reviews but some people are never happy and sometimes, in a large resort, there will be issues from time to time, but, from what we have experienced, the staff are all amazing!! They always try and do their best to help. Yes, it is lovely to have a great view, but to be fair, how long do you really want to spend in the room?! If you want night life and shops, they are a good walk away, one of the things we love about this hotel and the shop over the road is perfect, they have a bit of everything, and, from previous visits to other areas of Spain, their prices are pretty good!! Nearly forgot, mini golf, great fun!! 😊 Our room is already booked for next year!! 😊 Looking forward to seeing you all soon 😍😊

Wonderful holiday. Positive points: Fab customer service Brilliant entertainment hosts.. love the aqua aerobics and juice making! 5 star customer service. Plenty of choice of food and always fabulous 👌 Reasonable priced drinks Really helpful receptionists Plenty of room near pool All areas of hotel immaculate Negative ish! Booked this hotel for a week away for me and my mum, booked twin room but made as a double with double sheets etc. Asked to have it changed to twins, sorted so not too much of a pain. Womens toilets in the lobby - one door doesn't lock and the other has a huge gap in it We had a early flight and as we were half board we asked for a bag of a couple of bits to take away.. after all this was paid for. Reception said to ask the eve before in the restaurant.. the restaurant staff said we would need to take bits that eve. Other customers were told the restaurant was open at 7am however Reception did not know about this.. clearly lack in communication. Easy to get the bus to Salou and Tarragona... recommend Tarragona, ramblers Road is full of shops and cafes lovely place to visit.
