Pineda Park

We recently returned from a week at Pineda Park apartments as a family of four with older teenagers. Reception staff very friendly and efficient. Please be aware a 100€ deposit is required at check in, this was refunded to my card within 24hrs of departure. 24hr reception available. Check in 5pm/check out 10am. Late check out charges upto 150 euros subject to room availability. We felt this was expensive in comparison to other places we have stayed. You can use the facilities after check out if you have a late pick up time and there is a luggage store at the side of reception, along with changing rooms with shower facilities and sinks by the outdoor pool table which were clean. The 2 bed apartments are larger than average with an ensuite bathroom to the master bedroom and a shower room opposite the twin room. Showers worked well but be warned, you may run out of hot water if all guests have a longer shower one after the other. A spacious living space with a TV, 3-seater basic sofa, sideboard and full size dining table. The kitchen is well-equiped with a fridge freezer, hob, oven (one shelf), a kettle and a toaster. The balcony was very spacious, with table and chairs provided, along with a clothes airer. Rooms are only cleaned once during a 7 night stay. Towels changed every 2 days. 1 toilet roll provided for each toilet and these were only replenished on the cleaning day. I've stayed in 2, 3, 4 and 5 star accommodation before and based on past experience would have thought rooms be cleaned more often and adequate toilet rolls provided/replaced for the full stay. You are also asked to remove your own rubbish and place it in the large bins on the street which is unusual for a 4-star establishment. Air con worked well but will automatically shut off when windows or doors open, or when the room card is removed. A safety deposit box is available at a charge of 5€ per night, I'd expect this to be included in the cost of accommodation at this star rating. Other places just take a refundable deposit for safe return of the key. CCTV is on throughout the complex but like others have said the patio door onto the balcony did not lock! Inside the complex everywhere is spotless. There's a small games room with most games costing 1€ and pool tables 2€ (only 1€ coins accepted). Outside there's a basic playground for younger children. The pool is open 9am - 8pm, although it can get a bit crowded you can usually get some sunbeds as most people removed their towels when they left for a while. Quite a few sunbeds are getting ready for replacement, with fabric wearing thin and back rests broken. Chemicals are added every evening but we rarely saw the pool area being swept or mopped and one day it was full of leaves and debri from the storm the night before. Bar staff are polite and friendly. Breakfast was OK (full breakfast 11.5€, continental 10€) but lunch meals very disappointing and overpriced for the quality. Large draught beer only 4€. Cocktails 10€

Apartamentos muy amplios con terrazas enormes y además nos tocó uno que daba bastante sombra, lo cual agradecimos. Tanto el personal de recepción, como el de limpieza, los del restaurante y el señor de la piscina muy atentos y agradables. Zona tranquila y para ir en familia perfecto. Por poner una pega diría que el sofá incomodísimo y los sofá-camas tampoco eran lo mejor pero para estancias cortas, suficiente. En general hemos estado muy bien lo recomiendo. Gracias.

This was by far one of my favourite holidays and a lot of that was down to these apartments. The rooms are really spacious and having 2 bathrooms (in a 2 bed apartment) was a great bonus. They are exceptionally clean - not just the apartment itself but also the pool, bar and all communal areas. The staff very all really lovely - especially Mansa (?) who organised most of the entertainment as well as the 2 evening bar staff sorry I didnt get your names). The entertainment was quiet some nights which is to be expected when you are out of season but alot of effort was still put into providing it. There was a mini disco eavh evening as well as bingo and or quizzes. Earlier in the evening there was crafts, facepainting/tattoos, billards, archery etc. The area itself was so peaceful and quiet, being in a predominantly residential area but still only 10 min walk along the beach to the main tourist area. 2 min walk to the beach. Lots of supermarkets within a few minutes walk. Several climbing frames nearby as well as an outdoor gym and a park across the road where my son played a bit of football with some new friends from the hotel and local teenagers. Water park is 10mins walk from apartments but it only opens in June. We didn't go to Portaventura but you can easily get a bus to it. We got a bus to Tarragona a few times as well as to Salou and Cambrils. Bus stop just around the corner where you can buy a family use card for 10 euros for 10 journeys and then next 10 only costs 6.50 if you still have the card - amazing value. We all had an amazing time and will most definitely be back. A big thank you to all the staff
