Ohtels Vil·la Romana

I absolutely love this hotel. Great staff, nice rooms, great facilities, great food, great location. Walking distance to beach and waterpark/theme park. Petite bar, brilliant Tapas restaurant just down the road. We have been here twice now, best bang for your buck in Salou

We stayed in August 2023, and this is what I thought. The hotel is big,nice and modern. However it wasn't the most cleanest in certain areas. Our room was fine but TINY. 2 people sharing a sofa bed? It wasn't good. The balcony was spacious and guarded so we could not see the other rooms balcony. The restaurant was big, and lots of food variety. There was always a queue in the morning which was horrifically long. The pool area was large but not overly shaded. Most importantly, was how central the hotel is! Right beside Portaventure-5min walk-and near Salou city centre. Near barcelona so good for day trips. The entertainment for kids was poor and not great. Some of the "adult" entertainment was questionable and not appropriate for young ones. Only on some nights however was this the case. I enjoyed the holiday but the hotel was slightly crowded.

Just back from the hotel last week and absolutely loved it! I found the staff all really friendly. Our room was small but adequate with a view looking into the neighbouring hotel and could see red force from our balcony. A lot of people don’t rate the food here but we all really enjoyed it. My 10 year old couldn’t get enough of the churros. There were plenty of options for dinner and you could get fresh meat and paella etc cooked in front of you. We actually decided to stay at the hotel for dinner 6 out of 7 nights as we enjoyed it so much. The hotel is really clean. I always seeing the cleaners around cleaning the foyer and the rooms were cleaned to a high standard. The entertainment at the hotel was ok although I thought it was quite late for the kids as the mini disco wasn’t on till 9 and adult entertainment on at 10. The location of the hotel is excellent. 10 min walk to portaventura and a 5-10 walk to plenty of bars and restaurants. Also you can get the bus right outside the hotel to tarragona which is a beautiful place. Also my son loved the cat at the hotel. He seen it every day and it was so friendly. I will definitely go back to villa romana, sad to be home now.

This hotel was amazing and probably one of the best I’ve been in. The kids entertainment was incredible. We didn’t go to the restaurant but sounded good according to others. It was also easy for the kids to make friends like you can see in the pictures. We will be back!

to start we loved Salou and the entertainment team were amazing. we complained about our room from day one and proceeded to make 4 further complaints about...pretty much everything in it. Just look at the pictures. Only after day 7 did they give us a working fridge that never had black mould in it. the room stank and had black mould on the walls and ceiling. a shame as the entertainment team were great. we just had to be in our room as little as possible.

Myself and my family have just returned from a week long stay at this lovely hotel. There were 5 of us, two adults, one teenager (16), a child (6) and a toddler (1). We had two twin rooms between us, which were advertised and booked as interconnecting rooms, but that’s not what we got (I am actually unsure whether they even have them, didn’t mind enough to ask). The rooms are a little dated, but normal standard I’d expect of a relatively cheap Spanish hotel! We unfortunately had a very noisy room, so please bare in mind, if you are 1101-1143, 2101-2143, 3101-3143, 4101-4143, 5101-5143, in an odd room number, you’re facing onto the Saularis Palace pool/entertainment stage, and they are LOUD until about 11.30/midnight, more so on the nights with live performers. This is no fault of the Romana of course, and is why I wouldn’t mark them down any for it, it’s just something to bare in mind. Didn’t request a room change, but equally wished I had at times. With having young kids, we didn’t get the luxury of being up late having fun out and about. I was also disappointed by the lack of net curtains on the balcony doors, as you had to close the curtains for privacy, but then were sat in the dark (the other hotel balconies face over too!). The pillows are nice and firm, as are the mattresses. Whether you find this comfortable is personal preference. Like a lot of other hotels, you’ll get two beds pushed together, wasn’t an issue as we expected it. The air con was on (we went end of June into July), but you can’t change the temperature. The dials have been removed. You have the controls to turn it down or off. I personally could have done with it being cooler. The food was alright, nothing spectacular, but nicely varied, a lot of it, and a separate kids bit too. Ultimately, go in with an open mind, it’s a hotel buffet, things aren’t piping hot, not everything will be to your liking, and some meals you’ll like more than others. It’s common sense. You’ll queue at busier times for show cooking. We found the pool bar quite pricey for drinks and food, so mostly tried to eat out for lunch (we were half board). The food was decent on the occasions we did have it though. The pool has to be one of the best I’ve been in abroad. The temperate was perfect. It was kept clean. The entertainment was decent and the team do a good job. Sun bed reserving was an absolute madness, but that ignorance is down to the guests, not the hotel, although they did monitor this and leave notes on beds. The slides were good fun, again, busier at times, but to be expected. The splash park was temperamental, some times of the day, the pressure seemed to die off, so the tipping bucket would no longer fill and some of the sprinklers trickled instead of shooting water out. My youngest preferred this though, so was actually better for us when it was less intense. Location is excellent for access to Portaventura/Ferrari Land, 10-15 minute walk along, and about the same in the other d

We had a wonderful time at this hotel. All of the staff we encountered were friendly and helpful. Special shout out to the incredible entertainment team. They were awesome and really put a lot of energy into making sure people were having a good time. They were fabulous with the kids too (shame that some parents weren’t stopping their kids from jumping all over them and even hitting them though!). They had the patience of saints. The room was small but clean and perfect just for sleeping in. The whole hotel was spotless, lovely! The pool and slide area were lovely (a bit slippy though, definitely a good idea for kids to wear water shoes around the pool). The food was good. Lots of reviews have mentioned it not being great but we managed to find food every meal. Breakfast was great with a real variety. My only gripe with the food was the lack of main meals at dinner time for vegetarians. My options were really limited, but I know this would be an issue across many hotels in the area, not just this one. Only on two nights did they have a main meal that was suitable for veggies. Aside from that, it was pasta with plain tomato sauce or pizza each night. It was nice enough, just repetitive. We would definitely return, and want to thank the staff for a lovely holiday.

Be aware please,we stayed 4 nights at this hotel,no towels change for entire stay,food was cold and for 3 days in a row lunch and dinner same food,kids club not open(ask reception and they said only for season,even though it is advertised as there is kids club and entertainment),staff has no English and some were rude, swimming pool for kids is open only 3 hours a day, supposed to have our wedding anniversary there but gave up because of poor service,very disappointed.Definetly not a 4* hotel!
