Pineda Park 

I stayed at Pineda Park from 1st -7th September with my boyfriend, I’m 19 and he’s 20. The weather was great! We were planning on getting an uber/bolt from Reus airport to the hotel but there were none available at all so please be aware of that! Love holidays was offering us €60 EACH for a bus transfer to our hotel which we didn’t get as we had planned to get a taxi. When we got outside the airport, there was a bus direct to La Pineda parked outside, they didn’t take card though so had to go into the airport to get some out. It was about €4 for 2 tickets. (On our way back to the airport, they did take card but it’s still recommend taking cash to make sure) We arrived at the hotel at 1pm, the man on reception was very kind and accommodating, Hotel check in was 5/6pm but he said our room will be ready in an hour, so if you’re early they will most likely prioritise your room before others to get you checked in. We dropped our luggage off and explored the local area. Our hotel suite was amazing! It was so open and spacious, we couldn’t believe it for the price. Lots of the reviews said to only get a pool facing room but we had street facing and it was beautiful. There was no direct sun on our balcony but it was still sunny, bright and warm, i’ll attach some photos. Balcony was huge aswell, with a table and chairs. There was 2 bathrooms both with a toilet and shower, 2 rooms one with two single beds and our double room. The bed was SO comfy we had been travelling for 15 hours and we fell asleep for about 4 hours as soon as we lay down. Our bed was two singles pushed together and after a few nights i kept falling down the crack between them but at first they were very very shoved together, to the point i didn’t even realise it was two singles. Aircon in room too and it worked fine. Lots of the reviews said there was an issue with toilet roll. We had 1 roll in each bathroom which lasted us fine but i imagine with a bigger family it’d maybe be an issue, however we did get some more rolls on cleaning day & i’m sure you could go to the front desk and request some if necessary. There’s a few bus shops that give you very good information about bus routes & times to local places and Barcelona. 100% recommend getting a bus pass it, you only need one as if you can tap once for each person. It was €4 for the card and €6/7 euros for 10 trips which is very good value. We also got the bus to Barcelona for the day, about €20 cash each way per person, definitely worth going but it was quite stressful trying to find the bus on the way back as we had got off at the wrong stop going in so didn’t know where it picked up from, so if you do go to Barcelona, stay on the bus until you’re by the central square. It was 2 & 1/2 hours each way so it was a long day but worth it. You get a little washing up pack in your room too with a sponge, cloth and washing up liquid to get you started. Ice cube trays in the freezer. The hotel was very large and open, with a games room, other facilities like a games room with a pool table (€2) and some arcade games etc. Connected was a bar/restaurant, the cocktails were a little pricey maybe €8 ish euros, it was £12.20 for a cocktail and a pint, i think a pint was €4, which is still overall cheaper than in the UK. The evening events were fun, we played (and won) the bingo along with kahoot night. (and won that too😎) I was a bit scared that the area would be a bit dead especially for a young couple but it was lovely!! Lots of local restaurants and a strip with all your typical coastal shops selling bracelets, sunglasses, arcades etc. The beach was lovely with lots of toilets and showers available and even some restaurants/bars on the beach front. We went to Salou for one day and 100% preferred La Pineda over Salou, it was rowdy, rammed with people and tacky overall. We even saw a poo in the sea… La Pineda was much nicer so if you’re stuck between the two places i’d definitely recommend la pineda especially as this hotel was SO much nicer than any Salou options and cheaper! Lots of local supermarkets, we used Charter as i saw another review promoting it suggested it was the same price as aldi/lidl. I can’t really comment as i live at home and don’t do the food shop😂. It was a good price though, quite a big store and has everything you would really need. In conclusion the hotel was wonderful! Staff were all great and didn’t speak to any who didn’t speak english. The rooms are incredible and amazing value for money! Couldn’t recommend it more
