    Great Place, Location and Food for a family holiday
    15 Jul , 2019 Tim M, 186403
    Just returned from a weeks stay at the Estival Park Salou with the extended family (13 of us, age range 7-70), All of us had a great time with plenty to do (or not do!!) for all of us. The Food was fantastic with plenty of choice every meal Mexican Day being exceptional. Decent selection of drinks on All-Inclusive Package (10am-11:30pm). Hotel & TUI staff freindly and helpful. Nice clean Beach only 5 mins walk away, Aquopolis Water Park 10mns Walk away. Decent gym on site. We all said we would be more than happy to go again in either as a big group again or as smaller groups. To top it all only 30mns coach transfer from Reus Airport......
    Great all inclusive holiday
    12 Jul , 2019 Jayne F, 186402
    My 3 grown up daughters and 3 year old granddaughter returned home from estival park yesterday after a week all inclusive. After reading all the negative results we were a little worried about going but I can tell you now the holiday was great. We flew with tui and was at the hotel after a few stops. Check in was a nightmare as others have stated. We were told to go to hotel 1 but only half of us could check in as we had booked an apartment and a double room. After an age we managed to get th apartment key but found it was on the top floor with 30 steps and no lift. We had to heave our bags and pushchair up!,, the check in for the double room was hotel 3 so we couldn’t get any further away from each other. That went smoothly with the reception being a million time more helpful. So that’s all the negatives. On the plus side the complex is huge with 3 hotels and dining rooms and many more pools to choose from. After trying all 3 we tended to stick to hotel 1. The food was really good. Plenty of choices and fresh. The wine was plentiful, and tasted really good. But if you ordered a glass of rose you got a whole bottle!, not such a hardship. The other local alcoholic drinks not so nice so we tended to stick to the wine. Cocktail of the day was hit and miss. Th pools were clean and tidy and very safe for the children. The whole complex was kept very tidy with gated entrances to the apartment so felt very safe. We ventured to the beach which is 2 minute walk away. You do need to be aware of the overpriced sun beds. Cost us €34 for 4 sun beds and parasols. We also went to the water park which is right next door. Book thru tui and you get a free return which can be used any time within 7 days. We didn’t think we would use it but we did. We returned 3 days later in the afternoon to watch the dolphin show and try out some of the other slides. It was very busy on both days and had to queue for all the slides but it was fun and a good day out. So we it’s all the negative of this holiday there were certainly many pluses and a week all inclusive was what we wanted and what we got. Oh the entertainment was standard. Some good show, the game show and queen tribute were great but the others average. But you could pick from all 3 hotels where you went so something for everyone. Also watch the mosquitoes of an evening whilst sitting outside, we were all bit. Hope this review helps. Would we return?. Maybe not as we like to try different places but I would recommend for families as it’s a two hour flight away.
    Crazy all inclusive holiday
    14 Jul , 2019 Paul P, 1097091
    Well, the wife , the grandson and I spent 7 days in July in this , what I can only describe as heaven. The food-5 star , excellent too bloody much of it as often and as much as you want. and variety -was crazy. The drink-well imagine being locked away in a bar....you can have what ever you wanted, when you wanted after 11am and the quantity-it wa ssscrazy.. Cleanness..tables were cleaned in 6 secs -that was their slowest..I was counting their response time. My room was cleaned every day. The staff -I would adopt and employ all of them. They worked 12 hr shifts but not once did they drop their smiles, politeness and care. I work in the customer care and cleaning industry and I assure you , we brits have miles to go to beat the Estival Park experience. It was a Crazy resort The negatives- pool side guards-could do better, children's entertainment a little uninspiring and could benefit from British kid entertainment companies input...
    Dissapointing

    On arrival their was an issue with their computer system so they weren't able to check-in, which can happen and is understandable, they did not offer to take luggage so we dragged our luggage downstairs and sat out by the pool to wait, after about an hour I went back up to be told the issue has not been resolved I asked to put luggage in luggage room which they helped with then. Came back an hour later and thankfully the system was back up and running to then be told we had been moved to Hotel 3 so we dragged our luggage back outside and checked in their (first time in hotel 3, had stayed in Hotel 1 previously and enjoyed it). It wasn't the best start to our holiday! The hotel itself was nice, lovely pool, however impossible to get a sunbed unless you were down by 7am putting your towel on. The food here is nice, plenty of selection, however the restaurant staff were very rude and were unwilling to assist any english speaking guests, however you could visible see how attentive they were to Spanish guests. The entertainment here has gone down dramatically in comparison to previous years. there was no entertainment staff during the day and the evening entertainment you couldn't see as there was not enough seats or tables available. It's not the worst hotel but I wouldn't return.
    Fairly good one week holiday
    12 Jul , 2019 Emily C
    My husband, my 2 year old son and I just spent a week and returned today. All in all we had a brilliant holiday. The hotel has pros and cons as you'd expect. Pros: Great selection of food for breakfast, lunch and dinner under the all inclusive option that caters for nearly all. Great snacks and drinks selection served from 10/11am - 11:30pm and the Buffet style meant food is immediately available when our hungry son wanted it there and then. Entertainment in my opinion was a very high standard with each of the three hotels having entertainment every night. The three pools were ok, there could be more for children such as slides but I appreciate the water park is next door. Location was brilliant, shops and restaurants within two mins walk, beach also within 2 mins walk and water park 5 mins walk finally local airport only 20 mins transfer (bonus for us!). Cons: We stayed in hotel 1, the room was fine but very basic and slightly tired. I'm not one to moan as it was only to sleep in but I was surprised that there was no kettle. Our room was exactly that a room and toilet. The walls are very thin, we could hear chairs being dragged along the floor. The upstairs peoples squeaky bed and even someone banging on another door at 3am.
