Ohtels Belvedere

A typical Spanish seaside hotel. Basic accommodation but clean and with good facilities. Friendly staff. Good range of food at the buffet. Visited many times over the last 20 years. Close to amenities and adventure park.

My wife, daughter (18) and myself decided to visit Portaventura at Halloween this year. We have been coming to Salou for about 18 years but never at this time of year so we did not quite know what to expect. We always stay at Salauris Palace so we wanted to stay in the same area. We booked into the Belvedere and decided not to do a comparison but look at it on it`s own merits. The staff at the hotel were all very friendly, helpful and busy. Breakfast was quite busy on our first few mornings but if you queued up for your eggs/ omelettes first and added your other food later, it was fine. Evening times were similar with the staff very busy trying to clear tables. It was obvious that the staff were struggling to cope with the number of people and some foods were running out as they could not keep them coming quickly enough. Full marks to them for trying to keep up and still smile!. The pool area was kept spotlessly clean, as was the rest of the hotel. a lifeguard was on duty everyday from 10a.m until 5 p.m . The Bar staff were friendly and courteous. We were able to book a late check out until 5 p.m very reasonably for 15 euros, this was excellent as check out time is 10 a.m and we weren`t due to be collected until 17.50. Some of the main food dishes were not very appetising for British tastes, however there was always something else to choose from and we never went hungry. The rooms were small , however we had 3 beds in the room and managed.Thin walls mean it was quite noisy.

Came here 17 0ct til 26 Oct . Hotel in a great position around the corner from lots of bars and the lovely beach . The room was quite large and had the largest beds we've ever had in a hotel ...two doubles pushed together . This made the room cramped but lovely comfy beds . We were half board and always found something we liked . I especially loved the desserts.the rooms were cleaned daily . I must mention the shower and bath the water was always hot .not the case in other hotels and the shower was really powerful . The hotel was spotless and lovely friendly staff throughout . Not having done half board befor we were a bit confused about having to buy drinks with lunch or evening meal but once we got the hang of things everything was OK . I don't think salou as a place is for us but if the price was as cheap again would come back to the belvedere .

Enjoyed a very nice week at this hotel. Stopped around the pool most mornings which I imaging could get a bit crowded in the height of the season. The only downside of our experience was the dining where we were struggling to find a table most evenings as half the dining area was cordoned off. A lot of the food was not to my taste as the meat dishes were presented as different versions of stew. But having said that there was usually something to like. there was also a few problems in refilling food trays as nobody seemed to be in charge of this function.

At this hotel at moment arrived Monday easy check in with in 10 minutes of arrival was in room. The rooms are cleaned every day clean towels even foulded a tee shirt and placed in bed to tidy room.Restaraunt excellent food brilliant can not understand the negativity reviews. 3star hotel would not argue with that rating at all. Would I recommend to family and friends not a problem
