Best Punta Dorada

What can I say? I stayed at the best Punta in Cap Salou with my 11 year old daughter. The hotel is beautiful and we were lucky to have a pool / sea view. From the moment we arrived the staff were brilliant. The room was big with 2 x double beds and a large toilet. We really enjoyed the food on most nights and the restaurant is calm with plenty of space. Evening routine quickly after 11pm which we both liked. Entertainment was mixed with Spanish and British nights. With the World Cup on we never seen as much as we would’ve liked but Heyho all good. I would like to give a special thank you to Erika (again) who made my girl giggle, Emilio who is brilliant with the guitar and Cristian who I just loved. He took interest in both of us and I really took to him as he’s just a good genuine guy. His English is spot on. It was sad to say goodbye. Thank you to all the other staff member with the two on reception so helpful and sorted us out with day trips, guidance etc. I dont do this but I just had to. Thanks again for making our holiday memorable.

We had an excellent stay here. Beautiful, peaceful location right beside the sea. Staff very friendly and helpful, especially the young ladies at reception. We had room 2310 on the 3rd floor, a corner room with a nice sea view. Rooms are modern and tastefully decorated . Food was good , apart from the bacon, think the chef boiled that, but everything else top notch. Only gripe was with housekeeping, beds made every day and towels changed, but no wiping of surfaces , floor or counters, tea bag stain on floor all week, I’d expect better than this at a 4 star hotel, perhaps not enough cleaning staff and under pressure to get things done . Apart from this we had an excellent stay and I would recommend this hotel and will return in the future.

The hotel was lovely and clean and spacious, friendly staff and a good location near the small sandy beaches. It’s a small resort and to access the beaches you had to go up & down steep steps, this makes it unsuitable for anyone with any mobility issues. The sandy beaches are clean with no shingle or stones and the sea was fabulous and very child friendly. There was singers on at the hotel most nights so it was easy to eat in the restaurant then go sit in the bar or outside and listen to the music. There was a decent selection of the normal hotel food available but no labels on anything (other than the yogurt) to say it was gluten or dairy free which really would have been helpful, this was surprising really. We went as a couple and enjoyed our stay and would go back.

The hotel staff were amazing and very welcoming. We were upgraded to a superb sea view room. The food and wine were delicious and we particularly enjoyed our long lunches. The hotel is situated in a quiet area and a 5 minute walk took us to the beach which wasn’t crowded. Salou is a 5 minute drive away but we found this very busy although there’s plenty of shops there. We were very happy with our holiday at this hotel.

I am so pleased that I followed my gut and went to this hotel. I am hard pressed to think of a single negative thing to say but for balance I'll say that I didn't realise that whilst it's by the sea, it's not directly by a beach. That is a lack of research on my part and did not detract from the overall holiday. Now for all the great things - The location is very scenic. We had a sea view room and the view was just beautiful. The sister hotel, Best Negresco, is opposite and looks far bigger and was definitely livelier BUT I wanted a peaceful holiday and I got one. - We travelled to Reus airport and a cab from the airport was €44 and took about 15 mins. - The welcome was warm and the reception staff were super patient while I tried my (very low level) Spanish. I thought that was a nice touch. - The hotel only has 100 rooms and I like that. Our room had 2 double beds, a walk in shower, a decent size balcony and ample storage. There were tea and coffee facilities but we didn't use them. The safe is free to use and there is a small fridge in the room. - Bottled water is freely available in the restaurant and the bar. No trudging to a shop to buy water which is a huge plus for me. - we were all inclusive and the food was what you'd expect - buffet style. There was fresh meat and fish grilled every day and the usual omelettes, fried eggs etc. cooked to order at breakfast. Paella was a regular feature and was very good and on the Friday there was a seafood and fish 'gala' dinner which featured fresh crab, poached salmon, clam, razor clams, mussels and huge piles of fresh prawns. It was great. - There is table service for drinks and a menu is provided which tells you what is included in the AI and what there is a supplement for. The same for drinks at the bar. On AI, if you wanted a particular high end spirit, for example, you didn't buy it, you just paid a wee supplement. I think this is a great idea, - we travelled at the end of June and we had no trouble getting sunbeds or a parasol for around the pool. On one occasion, there weren't quite enough, the hotel staff source some brand new ones. I have never experienced that. It's always been "well, that's all we have" but the exceeded all expectations by simply finding some more parasols. - the pool was deliciously cold. It wasn't huge but neither is the hotel so I am not sure what people expect really. Towards the end of our holiday it definitely got busier but there were no lilos or rings - just people playing ball games and kids jumping in and out of the water. The staff were ALL lovely. Not a miseryguts among them even when they were SO busy and it was super hot. I will definitely revisit the hotel and I would recommend it. One caveat - I went in late June so I really can't say whether it would be as peaceful in really high summer.

So far fantastic, food amazing staff fantastic poor receptionist had check in issues with other customers (they didnt have enough rooms booked for thier party). but handled very professionally she's a credit to the hotel. My only complaint is the entertainment is very loud and doesn't finish till 11pm. With windows and doors shut could still hears it.

We chose this hotel in Cap Salou, due to the reviews on the TripAdvisor and always rely on these reviews when booking Whilst we like the hotel for lots of things , we do have some issues which I think a truthful and fair review should highlight ! 4* in some ways, however not all! Always positives first. -Rooms tidied everyday, two double beds, great air conditioning, nice balconies 👍🏼 -hotel itself, staff lovely no complaints on service -restaurant! Really lovely food, a calm chilled environment, best all inclusive we have been to -staff were all lovely and helpful -free safe -beautiful views if upgraded to sea view room A few tweaks we think would make it even better: -The restaurant was lovely but just needed a little rearrangement with some of the foods eg: cereal at the end of the buffet, but milk right at the other end 🧐 also tea machine long way from milk (which is quite dangerous) I had to carry my hot tea across the restaurant to get milk. -Rooms - 4 star hotels should never have paper coffee/tea cups! -Even worse, no milk!!!!!!!!! Sachet lactose free powder (lose a ⭐️ for that alone!) -it requires a coffee pod machine -not enough long hanging space in wardrobes Pool area : -unfortunately most of the pool area doesn’t get the sun until lunchtime -clean but quite cramped -pool is too small All Inclusive: -It was good, However somewhat confusing and unclear at times. Some items warranted an additional charge. Overall we enjoyed our stay at Best Punta Dorada.

Stayed for a week as a solo traveller as I needed some quiet time and this was the perfect hotel. Spotlessly clean, friendly and efficient staff, no queues for the restaurant and ample sunbeds around the pool. Room was well equipped with fabulous sea views enjoyed from the balcony. The food was very good with multiple choices at all mealtimes and varied additional themes throughout the week (Chinese, Mexican, Italian, etc). Probably not best suited for families as very little for children to do but perfect for solo visitors and couples who want a quiet hideaway. Entertainment was poolside each evening and all finished by 11pm. Local bus service to Salou & surrounding areas. Beaches just a few minutes walk away. Would recommend.

A good hotel, all as expected, food, cleanliness and staff all as expected. A good value holiday in a great location close to beach.

If you are looking for a relaxing beach holiday, you can't go wrong! A very relaxing 10 days at the Hotel Best Punta Dorada - our first visit to Salou, and we would happily return to this hotel again. Spotlessly clean, quiet, comfortable and relaxed environment, very friendly and helpful staff, excellent food, a lovely pool area and 2 mins from the beautiful beach where you will find some great snorkeling. My only very minor criticism and the reason for 4 not 5 stars, is the lack of no smoking areas. As a non smoker, there are only a few areas that are non smoking, and that's not well enforced. Smoking also allowed on balconies. I'd give 4.5 stars if able and it wouldn't stop us coming back. The hotel is fairly small compared to others, which is a very good thing. And it's in a much quieter, nicer end of Salou - within fairly easy walking distance (there are steps) of the main resort or you can bus it in. Rooms are fully airconned, and cleaned daily. You can hire paddleboards from the Hotel Negresco across the road (download the Suptogo app). And catch the little land train for a short trip (if that appeals)... it takes about an hour round trip. Other activities are available ... including theme park, water park, Barcelona, Tarragona etc. We would happily come back again.

Having stayed her previously for many visits it was so lovely to be welcomed back by familiar faces with the staff. The atmosphere is amazing and nothing is ever too much trouble. The rooms are beautiful and the cleanliness is fabulous along with daily maid service to make the beds and change the towels. The pool area is clean and has the choice of a larger pool or a baby pool and plenty of sunbeds available daily. There are canopy beds that can be rented for €10 a day and this includes a drink if not all inclusive. Snacks around the pool are made fresh and again are lovely. The restaurant is large and the buffet service is fab with so much choice on offer. Every mealtime there is a chef who will cook fresh what is on offer so for example omelettes and pancakes at breakfast, stir fry and burgers for meals. I am returning again later in the year and would recommend this hotel to others.

My husband and I stayed her for the first time and it was more than we expected. From the moment you step in everything is clean and bright. The reception staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was better than expected the view was the best we could have hoped for it was lovely and clean every day. The food was really good there is plenty for everyone to chose from the staff were nice. The pool area was excellent the staff were very friendly. Entertainment was ok. We will definitely stay here again.

Absolutely loved my time here. The hotel was fantastic,the food was spot-on, and the location was perfect for exploring. The staff were brilliant and the entertainment was great fun. Best of all, I met some amazing people who made the whole trip unforgettable.

A lovely quiet and clean hotel. Breakfast was very good with plenty of choice. We arrived around 10.45 and the receptionist was very friendly and helpful. She asked if we would like to get a drink in the bar and she would find us when our room was ready. Less than 20 minutes later we were given keys to our room which was great we could start to enjoy our holiday.

Lovely hotel staff were excellent. Very good for anyone with gluten allergy and close to bus stop to take you to other resorts bus travel very cheap. Pool area small but short walk to lovely beach.

Just spent 11 nights in the hotel as part of a small group. The hotel was very clean and the staff were extremely helpful. Nightly entertainment was excellent. The pool area had a relaxed feel and there were plenty of loungers. Good variety of food in the buffet. Would definitely return for another stay
