Hotel Planas

Arrived here very late (2am) as our flight was delayed. Walked into a beautiful reception area, very clean and bright. Man at reception was very helpful. Told us about booking slots for our meals. Our room was on the 6th floor. It was perfect. We could look out and see portaventura in the distance and we even got to see the fireworks from our balcony in the night time. Food was grand. The sausages and rashers were nothing like our Irish ones so we didn't like those at breakfast. Eggs, beans, cereals, ham and cheeses, churros and pancakes, pastries and lots of fresh fruits at breakfast. Snacks at pool bar were lovely. Sandwiches (that can be toasted) burgers, chips, wedges, icecreams, salads, fruits etc. we had lunch in the restaurant a few times, this didn't need to be booked in advance. I don't think a lot of people knew that the restaurant was open at lunch as it was always way quieter at lunch time. Dinner was fine for us. We had mussels, seafood paella, steak, roast beef, pork, lamb, chicken curry, chicken hotpot, calamari, salmon, lasagne, cottage pie as well as the usual burgers and chips, chicken nuggets and rice. A range of different desserts as well although the chocolate fountain was a big hit with us!! Lots and lots of choices over our week stay. The pool was fab! Lots of pool noodles for all, lots of loungers, we always found 4 loungers together. We really enjoyed the entertainment. Our 7 year old made some lovely friends and they enjoyed the mini disco in the evenings. Our son (13) played soccer on the grass area with lots of boys and ping pong, they loved it. They were games everyday by the pool darts, archery, water polo etc. some of the night entertainment included a fluro party, where the children got flourescent tattoo's and had an inflatable disco party. We had a magician, Mongolian acrobats, bingo, and a body balance act. We were very impressed. The drinks were fab too. Lots of cocktails, the rum was good, the whiskey was good too. We got the free shuttle to the waterpark which picked us up outside the hotel. The hotel is situated right beside Jaime 1, and only a 5 minute walk to the beach and near shops etc. great location. All in all what a great place to stay. The only thing I found to let it down was the lack of bartenders in the bar during the day. You could be waiting a while for your drinks. And also the wait for the elevators. Everything else I could not fault. Would definitely come back here again

Just had a lovely 4 night stay at the Planas, we had a double room with sea view and breakfast included. The room had a balcony with 2 chairs provided, balcony is narrow but sufficient. We had a view of the sea and pool area. Rooms were plenty big enough for the two of us, equipped with hair dryer and small fridge. Lovely and clean, cleaners came daily did a brilliant job and left fresh towels everyday. Bed was quite hard but after all the sea air slept very well!!! There can be noise outside which is expected located on the road side. Room had tv (we never turned it on tbh) and air con was brill!!! The patio door are very old but we liked them added to the decor! All doors have a shutter too for extra security. Breakfast was good, large variety to choose from with the food and drinks! Don’t expect a full English, they did have the Spanish equivalent available, we were happy with it all! Short walk to the marina, beach and lovely restaurants! The beach bars were brill, lovely friendly guys running it! There’s a couple of cafe bars/restaurants directly opposite the hotel one called Panino and unsure of the name of the other a couple of buildings down, we found these not as friendly, seemed to cater for the locals and we found ourselves being served after locals even when we arrived before! Staff weren’t very welcoming, but was good to try, we just didn’t go again! All staff at the Planas hotel were friendly and helpful, lovely well kept outdoor seating area and Planas restaurant next door! Will definitely go again, perfect location out of the way of busier tourist areas! Walkable to all amenities.

Great location. Hotel is generally noisy can hear people in above rooms and corridors . No friendly welcome from reception staff- at all , never spoke No one ever spoke at breakfast which was always cold and uninviting. I found the hotel had a strange aroma in the reception area not sure if it was a drainage issue . We had a late flight home was no option to place our bags anywhere to pick up later . We were on the first floor in a renovated room was spacious so ample room for a decent bed we had 2 single narrow hard beds . We were on the road side and was a bit noisy but expected due to location. I felt like the staff were not bothered if we were there or not. The most helpful person was an Irish lady who was able to give us some information about the airport bus . Will go back to salou but not to that hotel
