Hotel.
We really liked it! It is a 7-storey white building, the first floor is a hall, considered zero, generally pretty, with blue balconies. In front of the hotel there are greenery, palm trees, pine trees, across the road there is a hotel in the same style - Marinada Apartment, a boarding house without meals. Located in a quiet place, 3 minutes from the main street with shops, cafes, souvenir shops. The hotel area is small, the same as all the hotels in Salou. Here you are not Turkey or Egypt, you should not even compare, but the quality is better. In fact, I would give the hotel a 4*.
On the first (zero) floor there is a reception, the girls speak a little English, one in Russian. The girls are friendly and always go out of their way. We were often late in ordering picnics, which must be ordered before 19.00 on the eve of excursions. Picnics are given out in special boxes, very good - 2 delicious sandwiches with cheese and ham, yogurt, water 0.

33l, apple, chips, a couple of bagels. You need to pick it up at the restaurant from the administrator during breakfast - if you take a lunch ration, during lunch - if you have a dinner ration. In general, picnics are not given in all hotels.
On the left side there is a hall for animations, through it there is an exit to the pool. The indoor pool is located downstairs on the ground floor, accessed by stairs to the left of the entrance. On the right side there is a staircase to the first floor to the restaurant, behind it is an elevator. The elevator is cool, semicircular with a glass wall, street view, there are palm trees, beautiful! Next is a seating area with sofas and a large TV. There are also a couple of computers with Internet access, Wi-Fi catches only on this floor.
On foot from the hotel you can get to the railway station - 30 minutes, to Port Aventura - 40 minutes. To the nearest beach - 8-10 minutes.
Interesting animations are held in the evenings. The schedule hangs near the reception.
Another hour from 9 to 11-12 pm live music is played in the hotel opposite, quite loud, so if you get a room with a view on the street, please note. Although before 12 no one here probably goes to bed. Sometimes hotel animations were held not in the lobby, but on the site near the pool. Then you won’t fall asleep from this side with an open balcony, after 12 everything subsides.
By the way, the hotels do not have security at the entrance. Anyone can come in, visit the animation, have lunch in the afternoon. Lunch costs 10 euros, buffet. The hotel staff is generally friendly, the attitude towards Russians is good.

Number.
We were settled on the 4th floor, room 412. Our room is the third one down the corridor to the right of the elevator. Come in and be amazed! The room is very cute! Small, neat, clean, furniture in good condition, almost new. 2 single beds, a table with a small TV, a remote control in place (in Europe, the remote control often has to be taken on bail).

There is a mirror on the wall, 2 armchairs, a table for bags with a shelf for shoes, a built-in wardrobe, and a small safe on the bottom shelf. The safe is paid - 4 euros per day, we safely managed without it. Bathroom is great! It has a bathroom with a curtain and a non-removable shower, a sink, of course, a hairdryer hangs nearby (not all hotels have one), a shelf and an outlet, a toilet bowl and a bidet in the recess. All plumbing is excellent, Roca. In general, everything in a marine style is white with blue waves. 2 white towels per person, one on the floor in front of the bathroom. The balcony is wide, in the corner there is a plastic white round table with two chairs.
The view of the hotel grounds with the pool, the only truth was not very good - it was a residential building opposite, which ended just in front of our balcony and was quite close. So the more distant numbers along the corridor were more fortunate, probably from the numbers of commercials 420s.
And it's better not to take rooms for 10: a neighbor from the 410th room, having directly ruined the elevator, complained about the noise, constant walking.
Central air conditioning, we did not use it, we slept with an open balcony. And June is not so hot. And there is no fridge.
Cleaned every day from about 10 am to 12 am. The maids are polite. Linen was changed every 3-4 days, towels more often.

Nutrition.
Excellent! We had full board buffet. During breakfast, they managed to eat so much that lunch was not needed!
Upon entering the restaurant, the administrator greets everyone. The waitresses are polite, friendly, one speaks Russian. Tables are served for lunch and dinner. Service is unobtrusive.
Breakfasts are standard - sliced ​ ​ ​ ​ cheeses and sausages, beans in sauce, scrambled eggs, several types of sausages, cereals with milk, you can make toasts, buns, jams and, most importantly, drinks - juices, teas, coffee, cocoa. During lunch and dinner, drinks are paid, we did without them.
Lunches - cuts of vegetables, salads, c. with seafood, a variety of hot dishes - pork, turkey, beef, chicken, fish, casseroles, pizza, french fries and other side dishes. Sometimes national dishes - paella, gazpacho.
Dinners are almost like lunch, once every 2-3 days they are themed - various national cuisines - Italian, Mexican, Spanish, etc. On Sundays, seafood - tiger prawns, mussels, octopuses, something else, I don’t know the names, definitely paella. Overeat!

Fruits - every day pineapples, watermelons, melons, + on different days plums, oranges, tangerines, peaches, nectarines, kiwi, strawberries. In addition, various desserts, yoghurts and ice cream. Everything is very tasty cooked.
For a change, you can visit local restaurants. A large pizza for two plus 2 cola costs 8 euros.

Sea.
In June, apparently not yet the season, the sea was wavy, but warm, swimming and sunbathing.
Cloudy weather, as ordered, fell on the days of excursions, the rest of the time it was hot.
The beaches in Spain are municipal, free. Sunbeds, umbrellas are paid - 7-10 euros per day. It is better to buy a mat for 2-3 euros in the city. To the people - especially on the main beach of Plata Levant - there is nowhere for an apple to fall.
There are 3 beaches near the hotel. The closest - Plata del Capellans is located 8-10 minutes from the hotel directly. You need to go like this: from the hotel to the right to the main street, we cross it and then straight uphill (not literally uphill, just a street at an angle a little up), as we climbed - we immediately see the sea and go down to it along the road. The bay is small and beautiful.
The largest beach is Plata Levant to the right of the hotel (walk along the main street), stretches along the entire promenade to the port. It takes a maximum of 15 minutes to walk to it, of course, if you do not go into souvenir shops on the main street.
The third beach to the left of the hotel Plata Larga - we liked the most.
We go straight as to the nearest beach, but on the mountain, when we already see the sea, turn left and go for another 5 minutes. In general, go for 12-15 minutes. There are not very many people, the sand is soft, and the place is beautiful.
