On our seventh visit to Altafulla Mar Hotel we still found it the perfect place for a lovely relaxing holiday. Standards still remain admirably high -- congratulations to manager Jordi! Great room, entire hotel spotlessly clean, beautiful pool and garden, great breakfast and very efficient staff. Front desk personnel deserve special mention, as does barman Eric -- all incredibly competent, friendly and obliging. Slight blip with one staff member dealt with sympathetically by the highly highly efficient front desk manager Paula. We'll be back!!

Just what we needed!

Reviewed By PixieIsla

Firstly I consider ourselves very lucky in the fact that we even got away on our family holiday given all the airport chaos! The buildup was stressful and so overall I don’t want to or feel like we can complain about anything really. It’s the first holiday abroad we’ve done with our young children and it ticked all the boxes, we just wanted some time together in the sun with as little amount of stress as possible. Long gone are the days of a remote or adventurous five star honeymoon resort… what used to be top on the list of my priorities are very different going as a family. We chose the hotel because it was ten minutes from the airport, is walking distance to the town and the beach. All of these means it caters very well to families. The only negative thing I can say is that I was a little disappointed in our room. Given the fact that the hotel is four stars it just felt a little tired and in need of freshening up but the bedsheets were clean and if you want you can have fresh bath towels everyday. All the hotel staff are amazing- very attentive and approachable. From the reception team, the housekeeping, the bar staff and the restaurant waiters. The entertainment team create a great holiday atmosphere and seem to really enjoy what they’re doing. We stayed half board and I would say that the choice of food is vast and varied and seemed to cater for all dietary requirements. We didn’t have a bad meal time. All the tables are very clean and well presented. Staff are attentive and constantly removing plates that are finished with. It did became tiresome sometimes but with young children just makes sense and is far easier than going out to a restaurant every day. Everyone can just suit themselves and it’s all ready to help yourself. The pool is bigger than I was expecting and there were plenty of loungers. One thing I was expecting were towels for the pool however the only way you can get them is to hire them from the spa at €10 each deposit cash and you have to pay €1 each time you want a fresh one. Overall we’ve had a brilliant first family holiday abroad and it’s largely down to the hard work of the hotel and it’s staff. Salou is a lovey easy family friendly place to visit and it ticks all the boxes. We felt very safe and welcome.

Though good location near the beach. Extremely Noisy and overcrowded hotel!

Reviewed By tomdV319MQ

First of all the pro's: - location near the beach - Good animation - friendly staff - food was ok Sadly there are more con's than pro's.. - this is one of the noisiest hotels I have ever been to, you can hear literally everything, people in the other rooms, in de hallway, flushing toilets and especially the banging of the doors! - WAY to overcrowded, especially ta the dining moments - our room was never clean, the maids were almost half an hour in our room while cleaning but the only thing they did was move the crumbs and sand around... - airco was also a letdown, ours was on the entire day on setting 3, the only thing that came out of the vent was a small Breese of 'cold' air. - as I said the food was ok, but many times cold... - 15 euros a day to park at the hotel is way to expensive, also the lots are so close to each other that it's difficult to drive in and out, and we were given a parking space by number, but almost everytime someone else parked at our spot... - rooms are small, there is almost no space to manoeuvre, Last of all TOO MANY CHILDREN!!! if you want some peace and quiet for your holiday, please don't come here.

I stayed in hotel (half board) in May for 7 nights with my daughter. Food was excellent for both breakfast and dinner. Loved the way you can keep your bottle of wine in the cooler for the next evenings meal. Swimming pool life guard was the best I've ever seen. He was friendly and courteous at all times. He ensured sun beds were not hogged for the day by people who left towels on them and left for hours. Thank you Senor life guard. Other hotels and apartments should take note of this. Location was excellent with regular bus service to Cambrils, Salou, Tarragona and airport. Rooms were spacious and airy. Plenty of hot water at all times. The only small complaint I have is, hairdryer needs to be thoroughly cleaned to remove the sticky residue from sun lotion/after sun cream. I enjoyed my stay with you and am booked to return in October with my friend for 4 nights. Well done Hotel Augustus.

Fantastic hotel. Enjoyable stay

Reviewed By jenren87

This is a fantastic hotel especially for families with children. 5 minute walk to shops/bars/restaurants and about 10 minutes to the beach (out the main exit, take a left and then first right or carry on up for bus stop to Cambrils and more dining places. There is a little funfair in the centre and arcades for the kids too. Staff: very friendly and helpful. All speak very good english. The dining room staff are lovely, Ana on the front of house is a lovely lady, all the waiting staff loved my 7 month old and would entertain him whilst i got my other child his meals. Bar staff are friendly and look after you well. The kids club/entertainment staff are faultless they work from early til late each day to make sure everyone is catered for. Great competitions in the day for all ages, aquagym, kids club etc. and a minidisco at night - this starts at 8:45pm so always made sure my son had a teatime siesta! Food/drink: we were all inclusive and was worth every penny. Like any all inclusive it can get a little repetitive but there is a good selection and something for everyone. Children’s food at lunch/dinner such as pasta and either meat/plain sauce, pizza, fries etc. The snackbar is good too as my little boy was too busy playing in the pool to want a “sit down” meal. Breakfast time there are omelettes made fresh with your choice of filling and staff are happy to make toasties for you too etc. Drinks - slushies for the kids of all flavours, soft drinks, named alcohol such as Strongbow cider, Guinness, the lager is Cruz Campo. Bar staff are brilliant they work day and night to make sure we are catered for. They offer a waiter service round the pool too. Drinks not included have a small charge of around €1.80 and cocktails €5 - snacks such as crisps/nuts and certain ice creams also have a small charge but there is a good selection of ice creams on the AI Rooms - lovely and clean. Kettle, microwave, fridge and sink which was handy having a baby still on bottles. Safes are available from reception for a small returnable deposit. Rooms cleaned and towels changed daily. Great air con system. Outdoor: great pools although a little cold at first but do warm up as the afternoon comes. Great splash pool for little ones, larger pool where games and aquagym take place. Ping pong tables, pool tables and football/tennis court. Playgrounds for the kids all well maintained. The indoor pool is slightly warmer on the basement floor and there is another small childrens pool upstairs on the decking which is quite warm. Lots of sunbeds but the pool sides fill up VERY quickly with towels - pool opens at 8am and people flock to put their towels in “their” spot but we managed to get a bed no problem even in the afternoons - just not poolside which can be a pain with little children - but if u want to be near a pool i suggest you get up early! Entertainment: as mentioned, the entertainment staff and Tui kids club are amazing! They start early morning and dont finish until closing at night! They are great with the kids, remembering all their names and trying to engage them. My 3yr old is quite shy and they would all encourage him which was lovely. The main acts of a night some were a little bit comedic for the wrong reasons but karaoke night and the singing artists are brilliant! All in all we have loved our stay here and cannot fault the hotel or its staff. I would 100% recommend and will hopefully return again!

All inclusive holiday

Reviewed By markwU3121BH

Nice clean rooms with stunning sea view. I agree with previous comments that the rooms are small and no noise insulation between them. As all inclusive go it is OK, nothing outstanding. A great beach 10mins away. The lifeguard does a good job of managing sun bed hoarding and keeping the pool usable for all. Unfortunately this does provoke backlash from the lardarse mouthy English type !!!!
