On entering the hotel bedroom we were a little disappointed at first as the room appeared to be a bit dated and badly lit. This was fine during the day as the sunlight really brightened up the room.
There was only one socket which was fine for us but I could imagine some people may find this a problem.

This is a honest review from a travel agent. I have just returned from a 14 night stay at the Venecia Park Hotel in Salou. I will write this in as much detail as I possibly can and hope this will be very helpful to anyone thinking of going to this hotel.
Flight from the uk was very convenient as only took 2 hours 15 mins.
On arrival at Reus Airport we decided to get a taxi from outside the main terminal building which was very quick and easy to do and only cost 30 euros. The taxis were waiting and it took approx 15 minutes to get to hotel. Much quicker than on the transfer buses.
RECEPTION.
Upon arrival we were checked in very quickly by a friendly, cheerful, helpful member of staff. We had to sign one form, have photograph taken for our all inclusive card and that was it off to the room we went.

BEDROOM

There was only one socket which was fine for us but I could imagine some people may find this a problem.
There was a tv in the room, channels were very limited but fine for us as we dont go on holiday to watch tv.
The rooms have air con which when working was fantastic but as we went in october half way through the stay it got to the date when they decided to turn it off. Disappointing as 27 degrees and at night unbearable.
The room consisted of 3 single beds but I believe they do do double beds aswell.
The bathroom was a reasonable size, consisted on toilet, bidet, bather and shower over the bath.
The rooms were cleaned daily, towels changed daily and bed linen changed a few times a week.
The rooms all have large balconies with a table and 2 plastic chairs.
MAIN BAR
The products available behind the bar and excellent, plenty of choice.
Drinks are certainly not watered down.
As you are all inclusive you get served in tiny plastic cups so a couple of mouthfuls and its gone. You can get 2 drinks per person at one time. Yes you had to queue but they soon went down.
Snacks are also served behind the bar during the day except for meal times. Snacks include hotdogs, chips and toasties. Toasties were ham and cheese. Some days snacks were very hot and some days very cold.
RESTAURANT
There is 1 main restaurant and this is where you go for breakfast, lunch and evening meal.
Breakfast was fantastic. Plenty of choice, ranging from toast which you make yourself, cereals, cheese and cut cold meats. Coissants with various jams or you could go for a fry up. There was always bacon but only streaky, proper engligh sausage, beans and fresh tomatoes. Some morning there was fried eggs and some times scrambled egg.
Lunch and Evening meal looked ok, always plenty choice but to be honest everything was cold. Didnt seem to matter what time you went it was always cold. They do have a microwave and everyone seemed to use it but this wasnt for me so after night 1 we ate out.
The rep in the hotel was a great guy, english and very polite. Had great product knowledge on the resort and various trips, however we did our trip locally as appeared to be quite a bit cheaper.
One point I will add is if you lose your all inclusive card you will def have to buy a new one as you need it at all times for all drinks and food, you get a new one from behind reception at a cost of 6 euros.
ENTERTAI NMENT.
Apparently the entertainment was reasonable, kids disco followed by a show and then music, however we found a great bar opposite called sinatras and we went there every night.
LEISURE FACS
There is 1 indoor pool which looked ok but couldnt go in as too cold.
There are saunas but no mixed ones, males go in males and females with females. There is also a small gym which looked great but didnt use it.
There are 2 outdoor pools, circular in shape. one for adults and 1 for kids. Lifeguard watches both pools all day. Again too cold for me but people were in there. We saw the pools getting cleaned every morning from our balcony.
Plenty of sunbathing area, plenty of sunloungers, never had to reserve them but maybe in high seaon this could be a problem.
MINI GOLF
Included in all inclusive. Quite challenging only problem was its under a lot of trees and you get eaten alive by mossies.
LOCATION
Good location. Few bars on door step, not too noisy. 5-10 mins from centre. 10-15 mins to beach nice walk and worth it
If you are looking for a cheap getaway, clean hotel, good resort then go. If you are wanting luxury, hotel based then look elsewhere.
