    Like any hotel people hog the sun loungers by the big pool so we never got to.enjoy it, however there was an indoor pool a smaller outdoor pool at the back of the hotel which was nice and of course the beach and sea, so it wasn't a big deal.

    Our holiday was perfect, the Golden Donaire hotel stay was superb, the room was exceptional and the staff were fantastic and so friendly. The food was also very good, there were so many options. We will definitely return next year and we never do that, we never go back to the same place because we enjoy new experiences but this hotel was fantastic so we have decided to try and go at least once a year. Well done to the staff who made the experience an absolute pleasure.

    Swimming pool is too small and there are to few chairs for the amount of guests. Schedule of spaces, like Gym, Swimming pool should be review. Opening a Gym at 8:00 AM and Swimming pool at 9:00AM and getting the umbrellas at 10:00 AM are a really drawback an non-sense. Furthermore, dinner starts really early and ends up also too early (21:30!). We went for half boarded option, when we went for dinner only water was included!! You had to pay for the drinks, which are quite high. not used to this...

    Closest to the beach is barely impossible. Having events every day was also a major plus, as long as the food variety and options available. Staff on breakfast and dinner:always trying to help you the best way possible.

    A well ran hotel with an incredible location and friendly staff

    Street side appearance of the hotel is not great, but don't let that deter you; the interior is fantastically well maintained. This may be the result of some sort of bureaucratic delineation between maintenance responsibilities of the city and those of the hotel... I felt that breakfast and lunch at the buffet could have been combined into brunch, so that the later rising folks could access it too. With the present separate breakfast and lunch setup there is an awkward dead zone between 10:30 and 1:30 where buffet is closed. I realize that this may not be possible due to logistics.

    Facility is really well ran. Maintenance and staff are excellent. This hotel is busy. They put through a lot of people, and yet the process runs smoothly, the furniture is in great shape, and so are the floors, walls, and elevators. Buffet is out of this world amazing. The food is well prepared, tasty, and the staff continuously monitor the supply; the moment a dish is close to running out, there is a staff member bringing out a replacement. The front desk staff are knowledgable, efficient, and kind. I felt that the staff genuinely enjoyed working there because things were ran super efficiently.

    The local area wasn't very appealing so we used the local bus service to get out and about to Cambrils, Tarragona, Salou etc. But no real negatives about the hotel.

    The food was excellent we were h/b and the choice and quality was superb. Very comfortable bed and daily cleaning services excellent All staff very friendly and helpful particularly reception.

    The room did not meet our expectations — technically, everything listed in the description was there, but the room looked more modern and cozy in the photos than it did in reality. It wasn’t clean: there was a layer of dust on the floor, stains and holes on the curtains, and something sticky on the nightstand that wouldn’t come off. During cleaning, the area around the bed was wiped, but dust remained underneath. The TV remote didn’t work, and the toilet leaked from time to time. There were three elevators (only two when one broke down), which were not enough during peak hours — we often had to wait a long time to get to the 8th floor or take the stairs. The safe had no lock. There were no power outlets near the bed — only above the desk. In the bathroom, there were no hooks — just a narrow bar under the sink for towels, so they were always damp and touching the floor. On the balcony, there was also nowhere to dry clothes — we had to hang swimsuits and towels over two chairs in multiple layers. There was absolutely no soundproofing — we woke up every time someone checked in or out, heard every conversation in detail, and even when people were using the bathroom. We were leaving at night and asked for a takeaway breakfast, but were told it was not possible. Instead, they offered lunch the day before as a replacement. However, if we had already paid for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, we would’ve lost one of the meals. All of this didn’t ruin our vacation — we still had a great time — but these four stars were not on par with other 4-star hotels we’ve stayed at. That’s why I tried to describe everything in detail and as objectively as possible, hoping this feedback will help improve future guests’ experience.

    Very friendly staff, great service, quick response to requests. Special thanks to Yarik and Vlad, who was always very attentive to our needs. The buffet was very diverse and delicious, with the option to eat both indoors and outdoors with a sea view. The hotel is located right on the seafront, with a spacious beach and a gentle entry into the water. Great location — a public transport stop is right next to the hotel, making it easy and quick to reach PortAventura and Tarragona. There’s a supermarket just around the corner where you can buy everything you need. The nearest pharmacy is 1.7 km away. Stable Wi-Fi in the room, which is not always a given in Spain. Very spacious balcony with a sea view (possibly even bigger than the room itself).

    Hidden policies vs children

    Policy vs children. I booked a triple room for two adults and I failed to add my 3yr old son to the booking. At checkin I ended-up paying more than 50% of the initial booking price. The thing is I would have spent that money at the hotel anyway on food and drinks but the whole experience at checkin ruined my whole weekend and I made a point of not spending 1cent extra on a hotel that asked for 150% of booking price for 0% extra service.

    I stayed near room 821, and unfortunately, the elevator next to it was quite old and very noisy. Every time the door closed, it made a loud sound that consistently woke me up in the mornings. I hope the hotel considers upgrading or soundproofing the elevator to improve the guest experience.

    The hotel's location is excellent—just a short walk to the beach, which was a big plus. There were plenty of activities throughout the day for both children and adults, and the evening entertainment was fun and well-organized. I’d recommend the hotel for its great location and family-friendly atmosphere.

    Small rooms for a fanily of 3. No space to open your suitcase. No water in the fridge, no soundproof windows as we could hear the entire show in the evening. The rooms are decorated basic, I would expect a bit more from a 4 star hotel.

    On the beach, lovely restaurant and very clean . Good choice of food, nice coffee.

    Unfortunately we became ill with a nasty stomach bug on our third day there. We don't think we got it from the hotel. Some of the staff were not particularly helpful or understanding and during the night we asked reception more than once to send up some things that we just never recieved.

    Location was amazing, 15 minutes from Reus Airport and Right on the beach. Very clean. Food was good. Staff was mostly friendly. Lovely sauna and indoor pool too for the chillier days.

    Golden Donaire was the perfect choice for our Spanish getaway. Nestled right on the stunning coastline, the hotel offered breathtaking views of the sparkling Mediterranean Sea. The spacious, modern rooms were impeccably clean and well-appointed, providing a comfortable and relaxing retreat. The hotel staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, always going the extra mile to ensure our stay was unforgettable. We especially enjoyed the delicious cuisine at the on-site restaurant, which featured fresh, locally-sourced ingredients and stunning ocean views. The hotel's prime beachfront location made it easy to spend our days sunbathing, swimming, and exploring the beautiful coastal surroundings. We highly recommend Golden Donaire to anyone seeking a luxurious and unforgettable beach vacation in Spain.

    For a 4 star hotel it is in need of a little TLC here and there, some of the paintwork is looking tired. Sunbeds are at a premium even in October, they are also very close to each other, so personal space is slightly compromised

    The hotel is in a prime location right next to a lovely beach, we only had breakfast which catered for all tastes.The outside bar is a nice place to spend an evening watching the sun go down.
