We stay here often, it’s good and clean. Staff are friendly. Food options here are very limited. So we tend to drive into Salou. Most people choose to queue up for ages for a buffet 😬

Fantastic themed hotel very close to the park. But AVOID going in October half term. It was so overcrowded it made the stay very difficult. Queues for the breakfast just to get into the hall were so long that we gave up and missed breakfast on one day. Book earlier slots for a chance to eat and still get into the park early. Also the queue to enter the park was about 45mins to get let in at 10:30. They should make it earlier so you can enjoy more than one ride before the queues become so long. Some rides had 3 hour waits. We gave up on a couple after queuing for an hour and not moving much. I’ve been out of school holidays and it is amazing but avoid the school holidays. The hotel is just too big with so many people to cater for. The evening dinner had half an hour standing queue to get to the buffet. Food was excellent though. It is a great hotel and really fun but I would probably look at staying outside the park and visiting if I go with kids in the holidays again. Queueing 45 mins to get in early and have a shorter wait time queueing doesn’t add up so it really isn’t a benefit being in the park. Maybe a cheaper hotel nearby and spend the money on Express Passes would have been better. Shame as it’s a really fun hotel!

Excellent value, limited amenities.

Room was nice, the hotel itself is themed amazingly. The main buffet was a bit of a scrum with huge lines but ultimately staff worked with urgency and got people through. Very much organised chaos. Reception were excellent, they had our room ready when we arrived at 9am and offered us a late checkout too. Proximity to the park is also a huge plus. For a four star hotel I would have expected more in room amenities, like a working extractor fan, amenity kits in the bathroom, a second pillow, but overall as a place to crash after a long day in the park it worked quite well.

One park closed and the other partially open

I booked this hotel mainly because park entrances were included, but to my surprise, only one of the two parks advertised (Ferrari Land) was open. Even the open park had maybe 15% of the attractions running. I understand it might be seasonal, but this should have been clearly disclosed at the time of booking, not something to find out after arriving.

Good hotel with direct access to park

Check in was slow as room wasn't ready even until about 4pm so we had to wait at the lobby for about an hour which was a bummer as we had rushed to end our half day tour by 3pm. Hard to figure out where our room was from the map as we had to head outdoors and identify the right building. Dinner timing is a little restrictive as need to prebook a timeot and it's difficult to get the time slot you want on the first day since those who stayed the night before would have done it way earlier. Direct park access was great though, so I would recommend still because of that.
