Pineda Park

Staff - all very friendly and helpful. Diana, Anna, & Gary in the bar are great :-) Cleanliness - spotless. Kitchen - has almost everything you need (no washing up sponge or liquid, but the shop on the corner sells absolutely everything, and cheap) Location - close to beach, shops, and restaurants. Bus service - €1.20 to get to most places if you buy the 10 ticket card (we got it from the Plana info place, and topped it up there). Salou, Cambrils, Tarragona, Reus etc Barcelona trip with Plana was great. We now want to go back for a weekend break!! We did the one with the fireworks. The fireworks aren’t as spectacular as you’d expect but the trip was great. WARNING - when you stop at the cathedral and come out of the souvenir shop they take you in, don’t go to the bar on the corner on the right...... RIP OFF (€10 per beer) OVERALL - Pineda Park Apartments are great. Enjoy your well deserved break all staff xx

We stayed here as a family of 5 (2 adults 3 children) the last week of august. We had a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment which was ideal for us. It was very spacious and had a large balcony over looking the pool as requested when we booked with TUI. The staff were nice and everywhere was spotless ( Maid service and towel change is only every 4 days, however a brush and mop is provided if you need it) The kitchen was well equiped although a washing up sponge provided would have been a useful addition. Theres no hairdryer in the apartment but you can get one free to use from reception. The pool area was nice and well maintained and getting sunbeds was never a problem, although it was quite quiet the week we stayed. The pool was warm too- massive bonus! The entertainment started at 5pm till around midnight. The 5pm start was a bit of a shame as that was generally the time we would head up to get ready to go out for dinner, however my girls loved the mini disco which started at half 8 or 9pm each night. Special mention to Noe who did a fab job with the entertainment, my girls loved their T shirts they were given on our final night and my son loved the bingo! There was a games room for older kids and a pool table outside. The apartments were a short walk to the beach, shops and restaurants and the airport transfer was no more than 30 minutes. Only downside was the price of the food in the bar. I know you pay a bit more for food in a hotel or apartments but 7.50 euros for a jacket potato with Tuna (no salad or any garnish) or 5.50 euros for a cheese toastie seemed a bit much which is why we only ate in there once when we arrived and had lunch. Also I found the beds uncomfortable as I dont like hard beds which these certainly were - I appreciate this is personal choice though. We enjoyed our week in La Pineda and were sad to leave.

Elderly Couple visiting La Pineda for the first time We prefer apartments and self catering option This hotel will appeal to couples of our age group as long as there are not intolerant of children if intending to use the swimming pool frequently Also families with young children I will divide my review into sub titles for ease of reference SWIMMING POOL This area is nicer than the actual images shown Although the pool area is all concrete slabs there are a number of trees scattered all around the pool 2 pools once very small for babies and 1 large pool used by vast majority Plenty of plastic sun beds could do with cushions! Also 10-12 Umbrellas and a few small side tables Not all sides of the pool have all day sun with 1 side having practically none which is useful for people preferring to sit in the shade Beds always available no matter the time of day There is also a very nice outside pool bar serviced from the inner bar with waiter service A wide variety of snacks and more offered In terms of prices very expensive for the area as a very small of water 2 Euro and a ham and pineapple toastie 5.50 Euro Bar service very good and a not so young Welsh Barman Gary very knowledgable about the area and always willing to help and provide information for guests There is no lifeguard and the pool not suitable for disabled as only means of accessing is the typical old swimming baths method of 2 aluminium bars to hold onto at each side with a number of steep stairs BAR AREA Very nice with a small stage and seems to be nightly entertainment of usual variety Parrot Show and Spanish Dancers Karaoke etc and also a kiddies club which starts at the curious time of 5pm RECEPTION Always agreeable staff and helpful attitude Booking in process very smooth but be aware that 100 Euro deposit is required as soon as you arrive (need not be cash)and of course the tourist tax THE APARTMENT We asked for a 2 bed apartment and allocated 3 bed apartment TO BE CONTINUED
