(Unless your taking your holiday out of season when I feel the hotel and its surroundings will be a little less hectic.)

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Taurus Park Golden Hotel Pineda de Mar, Costa Brava
Advantages: nice sea view Disadvantages: bad room, service and food

Service:
- waiter in restaurant ... ...time with their colleagues in stead of serving the customers)
- reception: not helpful at all even though we booked a double not a twin we got a twin with two beds. > we couldnt get a double bed even after asking 3 different receptionist at different times. - you always have to carry money no possibility to charge the room pay as you drink in cash
food: - food is not good at all, first no spanish dishes > all international dishes, coffee is lousy ...

...excellent weeks at the golden taurus park.
No complaints really at all. Food was very good at both breakfast and dinner. Drinks and snack prices were reasonable and the snack bar did excellent food.
Entertainment could have been better but was ok, one small moan really, the beer in the main lounge wasnt good, watered down maybe?? Lovely beer int the snack bar and poolside bar.
Rooms were tidy and spaceous, family of 4 and plenty of room for us ...
