H10 Vintage Salou

Lovely hotel

We had a very enjoyable stay at the H10 Vintage. The lounge, bar and reception areas were large and bright with many comfortable chairs and sofas. The room was also large and bright with a lovely walk in shower, with shampoo, conditioner, shower gel & body lotion all provided. Theres also the thoughtful touch of a dental kit and comb. Rooms were cleaned very well daily. There is no kettle etc provided, you could hire one but we felt this was very expensive. The pool areas were lovely and there was the usual queue for sunbeds. There was a thoughtful touch of some sunbeds reserved for disabled guests. We found all members of staff to be very friendly and helpful but a particular shout out to Mark in reception who made me smile every day.. There was a huge selection of food on offer, we particularly enjoyed breakfast. The hotel is ideally situated just a few minutes walk from the beach and all the shops restaurants and bars you could ever want. We had two lovely trips out on the catermaran and a guided tour of Barcalona . They were extremely good value for money. The hotel had recently stopped guests from smoking on their balcony and there were many complaints about this. The hotel stated it had become 100% smoke free, yet they had smoking areas in both pool areas. Both myself and partner are smokers and dutifully went outside the hotel to smoke. Sometimes there were quite a few smokers there, this was along the only entrance to the hotel, so new guests had to walk past us all. Even as a smoker I didnt think this was a good look. At least on the balcony they would be out of sight and only contaminating their own lungs.

A good little getaway

The hotel itself is in a great location. Within walking distance to the local attractions. Upon arrival we were allowed to change and store luggage and enjoy the pool whilst waiting for the room to be ready. The general reviews re the sunbed wars are sadly true. Frequent offenders would leave their towels unattended for hours without anything being said or removed. Prepare for the morning 8:30am queue for a sunbed. The staff are all very friendly. I cannot fault the entertainment team at all - particularly the new female member of staff (I forgot to get her name), but she was absolutely invaluable and it did not come across as her first week at all. The lifeguard is also a good laugh with the team! The housekeeping team are like a bunch of speedy whippets! Upon arrival the room was clean and refreshing. The bar has a good drink selection generally, although personally I could do with something other than Estrella on tap. The restaurant is slightly a let down. Very inconsistent. Some mornings, breakfast was great with good selection, others not so much. Evenings were meh at best. The food was very salty as a general rule, and if youre a sweet treat lover like myself, I found it better to find local options.

Great location

This hotel is in a great location. Check in was quick though you don’t get into your room until 3 so had to leave our cases and go back. We had a pool view room which I would recommend. Rooms were clean though a bit dated. We were half board and although buffet wasn’t massive the food was always fresh and topped up regularly. We caught the evening entertainment a couple of nights and it was really quite good. If you have a pool view room you can watch from your balcony as it is held outside when weather is good. We stayed 9 nights and never had an issue getting sunbeds. We used the roof terrace a few times and it was really clean and a nice small bar. As mentioned in previous reviews there is very little sound proofing between rooms which can be an issue. My only criticism is that although there are lots of sunbeds there are very few parasols. During our stay we never had one at all and in the temperatures we had while there I would definitely have used one. We took the Plana bus to Tarragona which is well worth a visit if you are in Salou and for those that like shopping it has a great shopping centre. Cambrils is also well worth a visit.

Very nice hotel

Nice hotel in a great location. Came to salou for a long weekend with friends and couldn’t have got a better location. It was a 10 minute walk from the beach and also the town. The hotel it self was really modern with a lovely decor. Reception staff were very friendly, professional and helpful. Check in was easy. Rooms were basic but again modern plenty of storage space and nice bathroom. Rooms were cleaned daily. Only downside was no tea/coffee making abilities. We booked bed and breakfast and the breakfast was great, plenty of choice to suit all needs and helped yourself to tea,coffee and juice station. Hotel was spotlessly clean. Pool area wasn’t open till 9am and ther was no option for people to secure loungers beforehand which was areal bonus. We arrived first day at midday and we easily got a lounger for the 4 of us. They didn’t accept cash at the bar only card which would of been a pain for 4 friends as we didn’t want to keep talking up who spent what so it was really helpful that they did a wrist band that you got at reception that you pre payed so that solved that, only thing was there was only 1 wrist band so the same person has to keep getting the drinks!! Pool was lovely and there was also a roof top pool that was quiet. Only saw 1 night of entertainment which was good. I would definitely stay here again if going to Salou x
