Review of Palas Pineda 4*

Stayed here with kids and partner. Il start with the positives. Good location to beach and restuarants. Entertainment good for both children and adults. Cleaners very friendly and cleans well. Laura on reception very friendly and helpful. Hotel is very big and very confusing. Easy to get lost. Took us 3 days to figure out where we was. Swimming pools ok but on the small side for such a large hotel. Rooms ok but on the small side. Only 1 plug socket in room. Air con great. Restuarant was very hetic and unorganized. Unless you get there as soon as they open. BE prepared to queue in line to get in and when you do get in. It's like your in a flee market. Some parents let there kids help themselves. You would think this would be ok. But I couldn't as I witnessed so many times. People pushing in. Children dropping plates. I'm surprised no one was burnt. I've stayed in many 4 stars hotel before. I've had much better good quality food. You won't starve but the service and chaos is not good. We went all inclusive. We had different colour wristbands to determine adult from children. Both my children were served achohol even though they clearly could see they were children. When we mentioned this too the staff. They was not helpful and didn't seem bothered. This happened 3 times on our 10 day holiday. In the end we refused to allow our children to get drinks themselves. Overral it's a good location next to beach. Shops a little pricy and can get much cheaper deals and prices for same items in Salou. We got a number 47 bus which took like 15mins. I personally wouldn't go back as I've stayed in much more organised 4 stars hotels before. Not worth the hassle.
