Stayed at the Best Mediterraneo 3 * hotel in the second half of April. Initially, the choice was Acqua 4 * (Salou) closer to the beach, a quiet area, but the tour operator (John Up) did not confirm the reservation and offered this hotel as an alternative. Price 440 euros for 7 nights.
The check-in took 5 minutes, everyone understands Russian (because it is important for them to understand the tourist), no problem. I paid a tourist tax of 1.5 euros (at check-in), received a WI-FI password and room keys. Number 226 faced the street. The room is very noisy even with the balcony closed. Constantly passing buses "downhill" complemented this noise. From 7 am to 6 pm, the kitchen hood was turned on and the noise was heard in the room (as if there was a railway road nearby).
One more feature. The Best Mediterraneo 3 * hotel participates in the social program, so 99% of vacationers are Spanish pensioners.
The elevator is almost always busy, because pensioners are quite mobile) Pensioners are very good and fun there. In the evenings for them - animation and dancing (from 21 to 23) on the 1st floor.
The pool is cold, unheated and no one swam in it. It was not possible to sleep on a sun lounger near the pool after dinner, because there were pensioners talking around (men have "creaking" voices, so you won't fall asleep).
To the beach go 15 minutes uphill, then downhill. To the city beach - 20 min.
The food at the hotel is ordinary - breakfast is poor, although in principle there is everything to eat, tea, coffee, juice. Dinner is more intense, once they gave cheese and mussels. The fish was fried every day. Drinks are not included for dinner. If necessary, water, beer and wine can be bought for a fee. They offer wine for 8 euros a bottle, while its cost in a supermarket is 1.5 euros).
Opposite the hotel there is a GD DUSA supermarket (blue sign). Prices are lower than in SPAR supermarkets, Michelangelo). Tested on different products (pack of 150g ham/cheese - 1 euro, Astella beer - 0.86 euro, red wine - 2-3 euro). In LIDL, prices are even lower, but it is on the opposite side of Salou, conveniently accessible by bike (rental 5 euros for 2 hours).
Traveled to Barcelona and Tarragona.
I went on a tour to Barcelona. The cost of a sightseeing tour with a guide, including travel, is 25 euros. We left at 9 am and returned at 7 pm.
It is more convenient to get to Tarragona by bus (fare is 2.95 euros one way). You can pay directly to the driver. Stop next to the hotel. On the train, the ticket price is 2.85 euros, the railway station is located in another part of the city, it takes 40 minutes to walk. At the box office, you need to say: "un boleto to Barcelona" to buy 1 ticket to Barcelona).
The hotel can be suitable for people of retirement age, provided the rooms are "by the pool".
