To be fair our 1st week at the Priorat was fine, the living area and kitchen were clean, the kitchen had plenty of pans, plates, cutlery etc. There was a four ring hob and an oven with grill, a large fridge freezer and we also had a kettle. The bedrooms were fine, plenty of storage for our clothes. The bathroom could have done with being redone, the shower curtain rail was held up with a bit of string and the shower curtain was disgusting, there was also a washing machine in the bathroom but ours had no front on the draw and therefore we were unable to see what the program settings were. There was no maid service but we had a pile of clean towels and sheets for us to change the beds ourselves we also had to take our rubbish out to the bins in the street.
We were in an apartment on the street side and there was a bit of noise off some of the surrounding pubs which didn't bother us. The pool was not open for the 1st 6 days of our holiday so we had to use the one at Salou suite where we checked in, which was about a 5 minute walk away, not good when you have 2 small children and lots of things to carry.
On the 7th night of our holiday a very large group of 18(ish) year olds arrived at the Priorat, there was 24 of them in the apartments on our floor. They we very noisy, music blasting, scraping the funiture, playing drums on the tables, shouting and banging on each others doors this went on constantly from us coming about 10.30 until they went out at 1.40am but then they came back in through out the night, they were knocking on the main door and ringing the buzzers as they had 1 key between 6, they were in the pool at 6am, we had no sleep for 2 nights in a row. We did ask them on a number of occasions to keep the noise down as we had 2 small children who needed to go to sleep and it was after midnight so we we not being unreasonable. I felt sorry for the security man as there were just too many for him to control. The police were called twice to the apartments to deal with them. After the 2nd night of no sleep I asked to be moved else where. I just feel that if they let large groups of teenagers into these apartments they are not really suitable for families with young children and would rather let others know.

The Priorat were in a great location, we had a 7 day pass for PortAventura and we got the bus from the end of the street, we bought a 10 trip ticket from the supermarket for the bus, this saved us 7 euros rather than pay single fares for 5 of us on the bus. There were plenty of shops nearby and the beach was about a 10-15 minute walk.

The Priorat apartments are filthy, dirty hovels to be avoided like the plague. How these apartments can be described as 3* beats me. Imagine the worst low budget residential accomodation and you'll get the picture. Utterly vile, you have been warned.

We have just returned from a week in the Priorat Apartments. Our party was 4 mature adults. We were nearly put off by the reviews on here, but, as the price was unbeatable for a 2 bedroom apartment we went ahead somewhat apprehensivly. I have stayed in a variety of hotels ranging from 3 to 5 stars and to be honest our apartment in the Priorat was excellent for the price paid and no more basic than some more expensive hotel rooms.. It was clean and comfortable and had all we needed crockery, kettle, cooker with oven and grill if we had chosen to dine in. The apartment was clean with plenty of towels and spare sheets/pillows and there was a washing machine and a clothes horse provided on the balcony.
The pool and surrounding areas were kept very clean and we had no problem getting a lounger the couple of times we used the pool.
We also picked the keys up from the mediteranean suites and it was literally a 5 min walk round the corner and the staff there were very helpful when we needed information or help with making excursion bookings etc, we also got to use their luggage store free of charge on the day we checked out as we had a night time flight home.
As for noise,, we heard very little although there were several groups of young men staying during the time we were there. Occasionally you heard a little noise from the street as people made their way home from the clubs but only if you left the windows open and not enough to disturb a nights sleep.
All in all, I have to say ,either the other reviewers on here want 5 star service and comfort for 2 star prices or else some major changes have been made in the Priorat in the week prior to our stay.
I wouldn't hesitate to book the Priorat again if we planned to return to Salou.

Stayed here in April 08 with my son and his partner and their little girl. We had a two bed apt on the ground floor. I booked it because at that time of year there weren't many two bed apts available - lots of apartments were shut up. We paid very little for the 4 nights, and I guess we got what we paid for. Not a lot.
There's no reception area at all and the keys had to be picked up from the Salou Suite apartments about 5 minutes walk away.
The apartment was quite spacious and fairly clean, but it being the ground floor, there were bars on all the windows, which made it feel like a prison. The 'patio' overlooked what appeared to be large waste bins. All in all, it was really grim, and it was an apartment you wouldn't want to spend time in. We were out a lot so it didn't matter.
Friends of ours stayed in an upper floor apartment the previous year and said it wasn't too bad for the money they paid, so if you book, specify an upper floor.
I wouldn't stay here again.
