About the accommodation

If your idea of a holiday is to wake up, put on your swimsuit and only worry about choosing what to eat at the buffet, you’re exactly where you need to be. Hotel California Garden is a Salou classic for a reason: it knows perfectly how to turn your days off into pure, effortless enjoyment.

This two-building complex is the meeting point for families and couples looking for a lively, dynamic atmosphere just steps from the beach.

The Location: A Stone’s Throw from Everything That Matters

California Garden sits on one of Salou’s most strategic avenues. Here, everything is measured in minutes on foot:

  • Llevant Beach: Just 350 metres away. By the time you’ve decided which sunscreen to use, you’re already walking on the sand.

  • Adrenaline in sight: PortAventura World is so close you can almost hear the screams of excitement. The perfect base for easy park days.

  • Shopping and terraces: You’re surrounded by life. Afternoon strolls, shops, ice cream parlours and buzzing terraces — unbeatable location.

A Resort Designed for Pure Enjoyment

Everything is designed so you don’t have to leave the hotel to have it all:

  • Double Pool Area: Two swimming areas surrounded by terraces and sun loungers. Prefer morning sun or afternoon rays? Here, you can choose both.

  • Relax & Wellness: Too much adrenaline at the theme park? Recharge in the Spa area with sauna and Turkish bath, or keep active in the gym.

  • Full Entertainment Program: The animation team is the heart of the hotel. Games, night shows and activities that guarantee fun for children — and not-so-children.

Rooms: Your Bright and Comfortable Refuge

At California Garden, rooms are practical, cheerful and designed for real rest:

  • Terraces with views: All rooms feature a balcony or terrace. Breakfast with Mediterranean air before heading to the pool? Yes, please.

  • Modern comfort: Air conditioning, satellite TV and functional design to make you feel at ease from the very first moment.

  • Versatility: Ideal whether you’re travelling as a couple or bringing the whole tribe along.

Gastronomy: Variety for Every Taste

The buffet restaurant is known for one thing: choice. Here, everyone finds their favourite dish.

  • International and Mediterranean cuisine: From pasta and pizza favourites to local recipes full of authentic flavour.

  • Themed dinners: One night Mexico, another Italy — your taste buds travel too.

  • Snack Bar: The go-to spot for a cold drink or mid-afternoon bite while relaxing by the pool.

The California Garden Guide

We want your holiday to be a solid 10, so take note:

  • The Fountain Show: Just minutes away, Salou’s ornamental fountains offer a free and must-see night show.

  • Dinner at Calle Zaragoza: A lively nearby pedestrian street packed with options for every budget.

  • Our tip: Travelling with kids? Salou’s municipal park is right next door — a shaded oasis of pine trees perfect for escaping the sun.

Why Book with Us?

Because we don’t want you to be just another booking number — we want you coming back.

  • Satisfaction Guarantee: We know California Garden inside out. We know what to request and how to make your stay run smoothly.

  • No-Wait Assistance: Need a crib? Special diet? We handle details directly with the hotel so you only focus on packing.

  • Best Market Price: We work hand in hand with the hotel to offer exclusive deals you won’t find on generic search engines.

 

Ready to live the Summer of your life in Salou? Hotel California Garden is waiting with the pool sparkling and the sun shining. Don’t let it sell out.

Some of the services listed may require a fee. You can check the rates directly at the accommodation. All information in this listing is subject to change by the accommodation. If you have any questions, please contact us.

Tourism tax

The tourist tax is not included in the final price of your booking and must be paid at reception on the day of arrival. Children up to 16 years old are exempt from this tax.
The tourism tax in a 3 * Hotel is 0.99 € per person and night.

6.6 Maria Del Carmen September 2026 The best things were the pool and the communal areas.
Lo mejor la piscina y las zonas comunes.
The worst thing was the food. The room cleaning was poor and the air conditioning has no remote control, it works with a switch. It was set at 22 degrees and if you feel cold you switch it off. We asked to change rooms because there was a very strong smell of tobacco.
Lo peor la comida. Limpieza de la habitación deficiente y el aire acondicionada no tiene manda, va con un interruptor. Estaba a 22 grados y si tienes frio lo apagas. Pedimos cambio de habitación porque olía muy fuerte a tabaco.

3.7 Lu Travelled with couple September 2026 The hotel's central location is the only thing that saves it.
La situación céntrica del hotel es lo único que lo salva.
Customer service leaves a lot to be desired, both at reception and at the pool bar. It’s impossible to find a free sunbed by the pool — they’re all reserved with towels all day even though nobody uses them. The food was very bad, repetitive, with very little variety and very low quality.
La atención al cliente deja mucho que desear, tanto en la recepción como en el bar de la piscina. Imposible encontrar una hamaca libre en la piscina, están todos el día con toallas aunque nadie las ocupe. La comida muy mala, repetitiva, muy poca variedad y muy baja calidad.

6.9 Silvia Travelled with family September 2026 The proximity to the beach and the friendliness of the staff.
La cercanía a la playa y la amabilidad de los empleados.
The room faced the road. The mosquitoes that swarmed all over us in the room. The lack of variety at the buffet and the poor organisation — too many people and it was hot in the dining room. People booking sunbeds by leaving their towel from breakfast onwards, even though it’s forbidden.
La habitación con vistas a la carretera. Los mosquitos que nos acribillaron en la habitación. La poca variedad del bufett y la mala organización,mucha concentración de gente y calor en el comedor. Qué la gente se cogiese hamaca dejando la toalla desde el desayuno cuando está prohibido.

5 Nuria Travelled with family August 2026 Well located hotel, rooms sufficiently spacious and a large balcony.
Hotel bien situado, habitaciones suficientemente amplias y gran balcón.
I stayed for five days and the lift didn’t work. We had to use the service lift for an entire building. Many days it wasn’t available because of high demand, so we had to walk up the stairs. The hotel pool was too small for so many people. It opened at 10:30 in the morning and by 8:00 most sunbeds already had towels on them even though you weren’t allowed to reserve them. The dining room was too small. Many days it was hard to find free tables. The buffet had little variety. The room was clean on arrival. on the other days they only made the beds and changed the towels.
Estuve alojada 5 días y no funcionaba el ascensor. Tuvimos que utilizar el de servicio de limpieza para todo un edificio. Muchos días no se podía utilizar debido a la alta demanda y tocaba subir andando. La piscina del hotel, demasiado pequeña para tanta gente. Se abría a las 10'30 de la mañana y a las 8 ya tenías la mayoría de las tumbonas con toallas encima cuando no se podían reservar tumbonas. Comedor demasiado pequeño. Muchos días era complicado encontrar mesas libres. Buffet con poca variedad de comida. Limpieza de la habitación a la entrada correcta. El resto de los días solo hacían las camas y cambiaban las toallas.

5.7 J Travelled with couple August 2026 The pool is large and the water is a good temperature. The pool area is really pleasant in the afternoon and evening, whether you’re having a drink or just enjoying the fresh air. The location is great, right next to PortAventura, and you’re quickly at the beach and the shopping areas.
La piscina, grande y con buena temperatura del agua. El área de la piscina se disfruta mucho por la tarde y noche, tomando algo o simplemente al fresco. La localización, al lado de port aventura, enseguida en la playa y las zonas de compras.
The buffet. It's simply not good. A warning for coeliacs: there isn't good allergen labelling and of course there's no control over cross-contamination. There's only one lift in the second building, so you have to wait ages to go up or down. The staff are very apathetic.
El buffet. Simplemente no es bueno. Aviso a celiacos: no hay buena señalización de alérgenos y por supuesto nada de control de la contaminación cruzada. No hay más que un ascensor en el segundo edificio, hace que tengas que esperar años para subir o bajar. El personal, muy apático.

5 Jaume Travelled with family August 2026 Very low-quality food. Powdered milk. Tap water. Small portions. Packed with people. Tables crammed together.
Comida muy baja calidad. Leche en polvo. Agua del grifo. Comida escasa. Lleno de gente. Mesas superjuntas
Way too many people. Maybe if they welcomed a bit fewer guests, those staying would have a better experience. It all felt like a ranch. Even knowing it's only a 3-star hotel, the quality was very, very low.
Muchísimas. Quizas acogee un poquito menos de gente y asi estarán un poco mejor los que estan. Parecía todo de rancho. Sabiendo que es un 3 estrellas muy muy baja calidad

1 Laura Travelled with couple August 2026 A very disappointing experience and lack of solutions Our stay at the hotel was very disappointing. We arrived around 11pm, tired after being at Portaventura, and the keycard stopped working so we couldn't get into our room. After several attempts and around 40-45 minutes of waiting, they finally moved us to another room, so we got in almost an hour later than planned. In addition, we had the buffet included and had previously confirmed that they could prepare us a cold dinner. However, when we arrived there was only a plate for one person, with insufficient quantity and poor quality. They didn't offer us any alternatives, so we ended up not having dinner. To make matters worse, the next day we went to complain and the receptionist was arrogant and unprofessional, without apologising or showing any willingness to help us. A truly regrettable experience. We won't be coming back.
Experiencia muy decepcionante y falta de soluciones Nuestra estancia en el hotel fue muy decepcionante. Llegamos alrededor de las 23:00, cansados, porque estabamos en Portaventura, y la tarjeta dejó de funcionar y no podíamos entrar en la habitación. Tras varios intentos y aproximadamente 40-45 minutos de espera, finalmente nos cambiaron de habitación, entrando casi una hora más tarde de lo previsto. Además, teníamos el buffet incluido y habíamos confirmado previamente que podían prepararnos una cena fría. Sin embargo, al llegar solo encontramos un plato para una persona, con una cantidad y calidad insuficientes. No nos ofrecieron ninguna alternativa, por lo que acabamos sin cenar. Para empeorar la situación, al dia siguiente fuimos a reclamar y el recepcionista tuvo un trato prepotente y poco profesional, sin pedir disculpas ni mostrar intención de ayudarnos. Una experiencia realmente lamentable. No volveremos.

5.7 Fouad Travelled with couple August 2026 The mattresses dig into your back, the pillows are poor quality and I’ve left with neck pain. The first day I had to wait for hours in the hot room for maintenance to come and check the air conditioning problem. It turned out the air conditioning was set to a temperature the previous guest had left it at. You can’t adjust the air conditioning temperature yourself, there’s just a light switch to turn it on or off, and every time you want to change the temperature, you have to tell reception so they can come with the remote control and change it for you. They registered us again because our booking supposedly wasn’t in the system, even though we’d given them our ID, paid for the hotel car park, and received our room cards. What bothered me was that the receptionist came to knock on our door saying that it was up to us to sort out the problem and find a solution, when in the end it turned out it was a mistake on her side and I had to give our IDs again. In the afternoon I realised they hadn’t charged me the local taxes, so I went to reception to let them know and pay. The sunbeds and chairs by the pool are always reserved with towels even before the day starts. The mattresses were too short for me and my feet were left hanging off the end.
Los colchones te clavan sus melles la espalda, las almohadas de mala calidad y me ido con dolor del cuello, el primer día he tenido que esperar muchas en la habitación horas con calor que venga el servicio de mantenimiento para ver el problema del aire, el resulta que el aire acondicionado estaba a una temperatura que había dejado el anterior cliente. El aire acondicionado no se puede regular la temperatura, tiene un interruptor de luz para encender o apagar y cada vez que tienes que cambiar la temperatura tienes que avisar a la recepción para que vengas a cambiarla con mando a distancia. Me han vuelto a registrar porque no consta que nuestra reserva no está registrada y esto que hemos dado nuestro dni y hemos pagado el parking del hotel y nos han dado las tarjetas, lo que me ha molestado que ha venido la trabajadora de recepción a picar nuestra habitación diciéndome que tenemos nosotros que reglar un problema y buscar una solución, al final el problema era de la trabajadora y he vuelto a dar los dni. Por la tarde me he dado cuenta que no me han cobrado las tasas y me ido a la recepción para avisar para pagar, las tumbonas y las sillas de la pisina están permanente reservadas con toallas antes de empezar la jornada. Los colchones eran cortos para mi y los pies se quedan fuera del colchón.
A complete disaster, except for the restaurant, which is well managed by the staff. - Change the mattresses and pillows. - Temperature control.
Todo un desastre menos el restaurante que esta bien controlado por los trabajadores. -Cambiar los colchones y las almohadas. - Regulador de temperatura.

9.4 Maria Travelled with couple August 2026 If, like me, you're looking for Mediterranean cuisine, it's perfect. If you want a buffet where you don't spend ages choosing, it's also perfect. It's not a huge buffet, but the quality is very good, and the cooks and waiters are excellent. It's true that if you go right when the dining room opens, the queue is impressive, but I went later and there was no queue, and they help you find a table so you don't wander around searching. The pool has two lifeguards and there are no balls or floats allowed. It's a family hotel with entertainment for both adults and children. I loved it!
Si buscas como yo comida de cocina Mediterrània es perfecto,si buscas un bufet donde tardes poco en elegir perfecto ,no es un bufet extenso pero calidad muy buena ,atencion cociner@s y camarer@s perfecto .Si es cierto que si vas en cuanto abre horario comedor la cola impressiona pero yo iba mas tarde y no habia cola y te ayudan a encontrar mesa ,no das vueltas buscando.Piscina con 2 socorristas y nada de pelotas ni flotadores,hotel familiar con animacion para grandes y pequeños ,a mi me encantó😁
Some days it smelled like in many beach hotels, but it was just occasional. The pool was like in almost all hotels—people put their towels down and then leave.
Algun dia olia como en muchos hoteles de playa pero algo puntual ,la piscina como en casi todos los hoteles la gente pone toalla y se va .

8 María Del Carmen Travelled with family August 2026 The hotel was wonderful, huge, with two excellent pools and a large dining room as well. The rooms were spacious and, importantly for smokers, there was a terrace where smoking was allowed. A top score to Hugo at reception.
El hotel maravilloso, enorme con dos piscinas estupendas y un comedor grande también. Las habitaciones amplias y sobretodo para los fumadores una terraza en la que se podía fumar. Un 10 a Hugo de recepción.
The worst thing was a chef’s rudeness after my daughter accidentally used tongs to pick up food for my two‑year‑old grandson. The rules are not respected at all: the pool is supposed to close at 8:30 but at 10 and 11 people are still swimming, while a lifeguard kicked us out at 8. Sunbeds are reserved despite signs saying they must not be. The entertainment was also only so‑so.
Lo peor la mala educación de un cocinero por equivocarse mi hija de pinzas al coger la comida para mi nieto de 2 años. El que las normas no se respetan en absoluto la piscina se cierra a las 8 y media y a las 10 y 11 la gente se baña y a nosotros un socorrista nos hecho a las 8. Las hamacas se reservan a pesar de que pone que no. Y la animación bueno regulín también.
