Review: Gran Hotel Regina Salou Salou
Page Content
Entering the Gran Hotel Regina Salou will enable you to feel its tropical atmosphere. Once you've passed through the vast reception and lobby area, there's an attractive outdoor pool surrounded by plants and trees. It also has pretty bridges over the water. Inside the walls have several Picasso prints hung on them which add an attractive splash of colour.
Next to the pool is a garden with a waterfall feature that cascades down to a pool at the bottom with fish swimming in it. The hotel grounds have green grassed areas which adds to the lush and tropical feel of the place.

There's also internet, a children's play area and tennis and football.
Everything is very modern throughout the hotel and there's a nice ambience.
The swimming pool has a beach bar next to called La Masía de Can Vicenç. It catches the last of the afternoon sun and makes a very pleasant place to sip refreshments before changing for dinner. The bar serves pizzas, snacks and BBQ food.

The views from the rooms are either across the swimming pool or they are across the countryside (which is a bit dry!) to the distance mountains.
Hotel Location And Facilities
The Gran Hotel Regina Salou is about 5 minutes drive from Port Aventura theme park, and in the other direction it is a 5 - 10 minute drive to the beach depending on the traffic.
I did have to spend some time finding the main entrance as the exterior of this hotel is protected by a high wall, and the grounds are quite extensive. I was unlucky in that I approached from the back and had to spend 10 minutes walking around the outside until I came across the way in!
There is parking right outside the hotel so try to drive straight to the main entrance if you arrive by car and save yourself the walk.
