Pins Platja Apartments

Was a bit skeptical after reading other reviews, but was pleasantly surprised, we had 2 x 1 bedroom Apartments overlooking the sea, yes the decor in the rooms is a bit dated but it was very clean,all the staff were helpful and friendly, the pool is freezing but the sea was quite warm , the jacuzzi is lovely but again cold, we stayed for 11 nights would go back again, reception staff are great, WiFi is a bit hit and miss , try the India restaurant a little walk up such nice food also the Greek restaurant which we found by chance, we caught the bus just outside the hotel to salou,tarragona and cambrillis €2 each, the Spanish bar under our room was great, good food friendly staff and the rugby tavern. The beach was literally in front of us nice and clean beach.

Based on 3star apartment, solo traveller. I selected 1 bedroom apartment & pain upgrade for sea view, well worth £40 week. 2 single beds in bedroom pull out sofa bed in lounge area. Bathroom with bath & shower over, sink & loo, little tired but adequate.Very well equipped kitchen, lots pots pans, cutlery, 2 ring hob, microwave, family sized fridge freezer, provided with washing up liquid scrubbing sponge & micro fibre cloth, 2 teas towels changed with towel change, towel change every 3 days, sheets once per week on Saturdays, apartments are in 2 blocks 1 beach side one over the road, definitely worth checking, in main block not beach side is the reception, restaurant and bar, here is the large pool & good size kiddie pool, beach side has reasonable size jacuzzi and outdoor gym, plenty of sun beds either side. Michaelangelo supermarket on site. Very good bus service, markets most day either good walk or bus it, plenty of restaurants and bars, easyish walk to Salou or Cambrils town lovely tapas bars on marina in Cambria's, Cambrils nice & quiet side as expected Salou little busier, beach & sea amazing, bike hire, near trampolines & kiddie bungee on beach outside apartments. I travelled May & was very quiet until last 2 nights when started to get busier & noise travel though beach side apartments from bar/restaurant attached I will definitely go again as solo traveller felt very safe & relaxed. Wi-Fi for me perfect no issue at all, no English TV Chanel’s, speaking to others in same area, same for some reason no choice for English Chanel’s, TBH not really problem for me. I didn’t use on-site restaurant as I’d planned lazy DIY hols, had I lunch in Cambrils seafood platter .. awesome. Stayed for 2 weeks solo self catering & spent less than €200 that included litre Gin, Cava & red wine & pair of beach shoes( my sketchers flip flops died a death) & of course food, package holiday with Jet2, & would use again.

Apartments are a bit basic, but well equipped. Beds very comfortable. Lots of clean towels and bed linen. Apartment cleaned during our week there. If in block 5 or 6 I would ask for a sea view as Apartments on the side don't catch that much sun on the balcony. These blocks are closest to the beach but also have bars/ restaurants built into the front if them facing the street. Fir us going late season it wasn't really a problem, but something to bear in mind if going high season. Didn't use the hotel facilities other than check on and departure. Both very efficient . Pool lovely but unheated, not a problem high season but a bit cool when we went, but i was still able to swim. Bike hire cheaper at local hire shops than at hotel. However local bus service fantastic. Buy a bus card 10 euros for 20 trips regular service to salou cambrils, Tarragona and reus. Day trips to Barcelona very reasonable in price. We had a lovely day exploring Barcelona, plenty of walking!! Salou not to our taste. Liked Cambrils much more Overall an enjoyable holiday

Although this is quite a big hotel compared to ones I usually stay in, it certainly didn't seem that way as it was split into several different blocks with two over the main road on the beach. The receptionists were friendly and always helpful. The pool area was clean and tidy. My room was a bit dated, but reasonably clean (why do places never clean the cutlery!!) and functional. I think a lot of the furniture was relatively new and comfortable. The bars beneath my room weren't too noisy or open late. Supermarket opposite had everything I needed for the week. Ideally situated to get into both Cambrils and Salou. Would definitely come back again.

Reception staff above and beyond expectations, extremely polite and helpful. Apartment was clean, tidy and had what we needed for our stay. Would have been 5 stars, however the bath/ shower arrangement was very difficult for us oldies, no handle or grab rail for getting in and out, luckily we had each other for assistance.

Just back from a weeks family holiday staying in a two bedroom apartment. Block 1, second floor Room 207. Located at the back of the apartments nice and quiet. Has all the basic needs kettle, crockery, cutlery, knives, chopping board, pans, small hob, microwave, fridge freezer. A small pack is provided with a tea towel, sponge, cloth and tiny one use washing up liquid. Bin bags also in the draw. Toilet rolls provided if you ask at reception. Beds are comfortable if you like a firm bed. The bed settee was a little tired with marks on it, my daughter didn't find it comfortable to sleep on. The shower was very hot and powerful for everyone. WiFi worked for us once we connected but I don't go on holiday for that! Clothes airer outside for drying your towels etc (remember to take pegs) Aircon kept the apartment nice and cool the only problem I did have was the Aircon unit was situated on the balcony and blew the hot air where we were sitting making it unbearable during the day so had to turn it off. The pool area is open 10 am - 8 pm, lifeguard on duty. The annoying towel brigade hogged a lot of the sun beds and then left them empty for hours but we still managed to find some whenever we arrived. No safe in rooms but you can hire a small safety deposit box for 30e for the week or 7e per day, given a key for your box so you can access it when reception is open. Lovely golden beach minutes away. Plenty of supermarkets and places to eat. Can walk into Salou or get a bus 2.10e each. We had a lovely holiday and would return perhaps but get a three bed next time.
