Having just returned from an early season (early May 2009) week at the Donaire park, La Pineda with our 3 year old I would definately recommend this hotel for families with younger kids but it would also be a great base for anyone who wants to visit the areas around Salou and Barcelona. there were organised trips to go on and a regular bus service or coach and rail services available.
The weather was a bit cloudy but mostly sunny but this didn't stop us enjoying our time there. Our little girl loved the kids tots club sessions and daily evening mini disco's started at 8:30pm (the entertainment staff were great and kept all the kids entertained with their dance moves and sing-along routines). The entertainment for the adults would start about 10pm and had something for most people to enjoy over the week.
The bar was quite reasonably priced (local beer about £1.60 a bottle) and service was good. All the staff in fact were very friendly and the general cleanliness of the hotel was of a good standard.
There was a choice of 2 pools and a small spa pool in the clean, secure pool area. We were there on a half-board basis and the quality, variety, choice and amount of food at breakfast and dinner was fantastic ... plenty of fresh fruit was always available but also there were cakes and pastries so not ideal for a dieter with a weak will !!!
The only real problems we had was that we were on the 4th floor (of 8) and our balcony was over the lorry unloading and air-conditioning fans for the hotel and it got a bit noisy at times !

Welcome to Ciao. Good first review, but lacking in the details and observations that would make it truly useful to the prospective user of this hotel. 8^)
