My husband & I went to Salou primarily to spectate on Rally Catalunya so didn't mind that we weren't too close to the beach, although it was only a ten minute walk away. The hotel was very quiet but was perfect for us. We had a lovely room on the corner with a poolside view and big balcony. The hotel... more

We were at the hotel for a week from 20th Sept and really enjoyed our stay and thought Salou was a really nice beach resort with a pretty promenade and lovely sandy beach. The hotel was about 10 minutes walk from the main area and in a very Spainish residential area. There were some small shops, cafes & coffee shops... more

The hotel is in a residential part of Salou about 10-15 minutes walk from the sea front. The main tourist area of Salou which is very tacky is about 1Km away along a very... more

We booked this holiday late and weren't to sure what to expect but we needn't have worried as our stay was lovely. This hotel is located in the old town of Salou which has some nice bars and shops but is 20 minutes from the new town of bigger shops and busier bars. I will start with the food first... more

We stayed at the California Palace for one week and could not fault it. Found the staff to be very friendly and helpful in all departments of hotel. The food was great, the choice and the quality were far better than expected. We never felt rushed at meal times there are people who come to eat just before the session... more
