PortAventura World: Six Worlds, Endless Adventures
Get ready for unforgettable thrills at PortAventura Park, Spain's most visited theme park and one of Europe's top family destinations, located on the beautiful Costa Dorada.
Travel around the world in a single day as you explore six themed worlds, each packed with attractions, shows and unforgettable experiences.
Start in Mediterrània, where you'll be launched from 0 to 135 km/h in just three seconds on the legendary Furius Baco. Continue to lush Polynesia, home to tropical scenery and the refreshing Tutuki Splash.
In China, adrenaline reaches new heights with iconic roller coasters such as Dragon Khan and the spectacular Shambhala, while Mexico invites you to experience the breathtaking 100-metre drop of Hurakan Condor.
Head to Far West for a Wild West adventure with attractions like the wooden coaster Stampida and the immersive Uncharted: The Enigma of Penitence. Younger visitors will love SésamoAventura, a colourful world full of family attractions, including the interactive Street Mission.
Your adventure continues with spectacular live shows, themed restaurants and services such as Express Pass, helping you make the most of every minute.
And during the summer months, the fun continues at Caribe Aquatic Park, a tropical water park with slides, pools and attractions perfect for cooling off and creating unforgettable family memories.
Salou: where the Costa Dorada truly sparkles
Did you know Salou literally shines? It’s not just a saying, the Costa Dorada gets its name from the quartz and mica in its sand, glowing like gold under the sun. But Salou is far more than stunning beaches, it’s a destination full of history and postcard-perfect corners.
-
The sunset lighthouse: For that unforgettable holiday moment, stroll along the wooden path to the Salou Lighthouse. It’s the wildest stretch of coastline and the place where you’ll truly understand the magic behind every “sunset” escape.
-
Footsteps of kings and pirates: The same seafront you walk today once saw King Jaume I set sail to conquer Mallorca. Follow the Camino de Ronda and you’ll trace ancient paths used by fishermen, and the occasional smuggler, hiding among hidden coves.
-
More than adrenaline: Yes, PortAventura is just around the corner, but don’t miss the Luminous Fountain, a true work of art designed by the same visionary behind Barcelona’s iconic fountains.
-
Our insider tip: Take an afternoon trip to nearby Reus, just 15 minutes away. Birthplace of Gaudí, home to stunning modernist architecture and the temple of vermouth culture. Order one in Plaça del Mercadal and experience Salou like a local.
Salou isn’t just a destination… it’s a glow you’ll never forget.

Lo que más me ha gustado las piscinas
The cleanliness could be better, a bedside lamp in the room, the air-conditioning control — there’s no remote so you can’t adjust it — and above all I find it outrageous that they want to charge for using the room fridge, trying to charge €8 per day; it’s a disgrace, the first hotel where this has happened to me.
La limpieza podría mejorar,una luz en la mesita de la habitación,el control del aire acondicionado pues no hay mando y no le puedes graduar y sobre todo me parece un abuso que que quieran cobrar por el uso de la nevera de la habitación y te quieran cobrar 8 € por día me parece una vergüenza es el primer hotel que me pasa

La comida tipo bufete normalita, la ubicación buena para ir a la playa en 10 minutos andando
The cleaning was almost non-existent. I stayed for eight days and they swept the room on day five; in a beach hotel that seems inappropriate since we arrived with sandy beach chairs and, whether you wanted to or not, the room had a lot of sand.
They made the beds daily — well, they really only smoothed the top sheet and the bedspread; they left the fitted sheet exactly as you had left it after sleeping.
The air conditioning worked perfectly, so well in fact that they had it set to 20 degrees, making it impossible to sleep because of how cold we were the first night. It had a switch next to the bathroom (no remote), so if you were cold you had to get up to switch it off and if you were hot you had to get up to switch it on. We had to go to reception three times for someone to come to the room to raise the temperature because we were freezing.
It was impossible to get a sunbed by the pool; they were only for foreigners because by about midnight they were already putting towels on them for the next day (according to a hotel employee). One day I went down to the pool at about 9:30 and all the sunbeds were reserved with towels, and most remained empty until 11:30. I reported this to the person in charge at the time, but they excused it by saying there were signs stating sunbeds could not be reserved, so they did not bother to do anything. What’s more, they wanted me to act like a police officer and tell them if a sunbed had been unoccupied for a long time so the security guard would remove the towels from that sunbed (an unacceptable response…).
La limpieza casi inexistente estuve 8 días y barrieron la habitación el día 5 , en un hotel de playa no me parece apropiado ya que llegábamos con las sillas de la playa y aunque no quisieras la habitación tenía mucha arena.
Las camas las hacían a diario bueno realmente solo estiraban la sábana de arriba y la colcha, la bajera la dejaban tal cual la habías dejado tu después de dormir.
El aire acondicionado funcionaba perfecto tan bien que nos lo tenían a 20 grados imposible dormir del frío que pasamos la primera noche con un interruptor al lado del baño (sin mando a distancia) por lo que si tenías frío te tenías q levantar a apagarlo y si tenías calor a levantarte para encenderlo tuvimos que ir a recepción 3 veces para que alguien fuera a la habitación para subir la temperatura porque moríamos por congelacion.
Las hamacas de la piscina imposible coger ni una, solo era para los extranjeros ya que por la noche sobre las 00:00 ya ponían las toallas del día siguiente( dicho por un trabajador del hotel) yo bajé un día a la piscina sobre las 9:30 y todas las hamacas reservadas con toallas y hasta las 11:30 la mayoría seguían vacías. Lo puse en conocimiento de la persona responsable en ese momentos pero se excusó diciendo que había carteles informando que no se podía reservar hamacas por lo que no se molestaron en hacer nada es más querían que actuara yo como policía e informar si una hamaca llevaba mucho tiempo sin ocuparse para que el de seguridad quitara las toallas de dicha hamaca (impresentable la respuesta…)

Hotel playero bastante bien . Buena piscina . La comida bien , se quejarán los que comen caviar todos los días en su casa
Every day a battle is fought here in the so‑called sunbed war, basically because tourists reserve sunbeds — you even see them coming down before 7am to put their towel on them. Although management tries to control it, it’s hard to resolve. The solution is simple: go down and take any sunbed where there’s just a towel if no one is around, as I did. There may be some fuss afterwards, but they’re left grumbling.
Aquí se desarrolla diariamente una batalla en la denominada guerra de las hamacas , básicamente porque los guiris se reservan las hamacas , los ves incluso bajando antes de las 7 a ponerse la toalla . Aunque la dirección intenta controlarlo tiene mala solución . Pero es fácil , bajas y donde toalla si nadie la tiras y te pones , tal cual hice Yo , luego algo de jaleo pero ahí se quedan mascullando en guiri .

El personal en general encantador, en comedor, recepción y servicio de habitaciones.
las camas son grandes y cómodas.
The food is rather repetitive, although it is tasty; there are too many fried dishes for our liking.
Large groups of young men — football teams, etc. — make it impossible to relax and create a lot of noise. The curtains are not blackout and a lot of light comes in. The nearby nightclub can be heard from the rooms all night. I have never tried such poor breakfast coffee; I think it could be improved.
Evening entertainment is limited, and when they play music by the pool it is very loud and you cannot rest properly.
La comida es bastante repetitiva, aunque está buena, demasiadas frituras para nuestro gusto.
Grupos grandes de chicos jóvenes-equipos de fútbol etc que no dejan descansar y producen mucho ruido.Las cortinas no son opacas y entra mucha luz.La discoteca cercana se escucha desde las habitaciones toda la noche la música.El café del desayuno nunca probé uno tan malo,creo que podrían mejorarlo.
La animación nocturna es escasa y cuando ponen música en la piscina es muy alta y no se puede descansar bien

Ubicación, precio, habitaciones limpias, hotel muy reformado y las piscinas.
Animation, for meals they charge €1.5 for the water and they also accommodate numerous excursions for minors, and therefore there is no tranquillity.

Destacar la atención del personal de recepción, que tanto a la entrada como a la salida fueron muy amables, educadas y atentas. La habitación grande, con dos camas de matrimonio y comodas.
We stayed with Half Board and, fortunately, we did not take the full-board option. They must immediately improve the quality of the food; it is dreadful, insipid (you’d eat better in a hospital with a strict diet), with very little variety, buffet replenishment is very slow, queues form while waiting for any of the dishes that come back in no more than 4 seconds (2 mains, 1 tray of chips, meat stew) so don’t expect much more. As a first course, spaghetti and salad. For breakfast, the best you can eat is bread with butter. A buffet horror, to call it that, the worst I have ever had. It has been a complete disappointment. Urgent renovation of the bathroom is needed. The air conditioning is a Split unit (very good and it cools a lot), above the bed, so when it’s on it blows cold air directly onto your head. The temperature cannot be adjusted; it’s fixed at 22°C, and in the middle of the night you have to get up to switch it off at the switch. I will not return.
Estuvimos en media pensión y menos mal que no contratamos la completa. Deben mejorar de forma inmediata la calidad de la comida, es pésima, insulsa, (comes mejor en un hospital con dieta estringente), variedad muy escasa, reposición en el buffet muy lenta, se hacen filas esperando para que repongan alguno de los no más de 4 segundos platos (2 pecados, 1 bandeja patatas fritas, guiso de carne) no esperes encontrar mucho más. Como primero espaguetis y ensalada. Para el desayuno, lo mejor que podrás comer, pan con mantequilla. Un horror de buffet, por llamarlo así, el peor de toda mí vida. Ha sido una completa decepción. Falta renovación urgente del baño. El aíre acondicionado es un Split (muy bueno y enfría mucho), está encima de la cama, así que cuando lo tengas encendido te dará todo el aire frío directamente a la cabeza. No se puede regular la temperatura, está fija a 22° y a mitad de la noche te tienes que levantar a desconectarlo del interruptor. No repetiré.

Hola, pues estuvimos muy bien, nos trataron y nos atendieron muy bien, los empleados tanto en recepción, como Buffet, limpieza, volveremos.
I think one thing that could be improved would be to have a few more elevators, but I think that’s impossible; anyway, overall it was a good stay, thank you.
Creo que una cosa, que mejoraria, seria que hubiera, algun asensor más, pero, creo que es imposible, pero de todas formas a sino una estancia buena en general, gracias.

La estancia en el hotel ha sido breve ya que apenas hay actividades ni otro tipo de ambientación programada. En las piscinas estuvimos muy a gusto ya que estando junio había poca gente y habían tumbonas.
The room was a nightmare! The bedspreads looked as though they had been on the bed since the hotel opened, the mattresses were extremely hard, the pillows were so uncomfortable we slept without them, and the wardrobes had a horrible smell of old wood, so we couldn’t put our clothes there; we kept our clothes in the suitcases for the entire stay. The food lacked variety and was of poor quality, and anything not spent on the food was used for the dinner. Verdura was scarce. The breakfast was fairly extensive.
La habitación un horror! Las colchas estarán desde que se abrió el hotel, los colchones durísimos, las almohadas mejor dormir sin y los armarios un olor a madera vieja horrible que no pudimos meter la ropa ahi, estuvimos con la ropa en las maletas toda la estancia. La comida sin variedad y de mala calidad y ademas lo que no se gastaba en la comida se ponía para la cena. Escasa verdura. El desayuno bastante completo.
