we really really enjoyed our week. We live in San Sebastian, Spain so really went to relax on the beach / pool and to a place the kids would enjoy with entertainment. The rooms are basic and you need to get a see view (some are balconies over the car park) but they are fine. You can survive with 2 adults and 2 kids in one room if you want as most of the time you will be out. Restaurant is very very good on choice and service. Location is perfect as a the pools and beach. Good local supermarkets and shops but restaurant choice a bit limited and basic. Cambrils is a bus ride away or a nice long walk with some nice restaurants.

Overall ally. Good compared to the choice and the location is perfect

This is our 4th time staying here and noticed great improvements in decor, menu selections and same friendly efficient staff . No increase in prices despite renovations and good nightly entertainment with very reasonable drink prices. Sandra and all front desk staff most obliging and knowledgeable. Even the restaurant provided special coeliac bread. Will certainly return here again.

Before going any further the key thing about the Hotel Augustus::
£295 HALF BOARD , FAMILY OF FOUR, 7 NIGHTS, UK WHITSUN HOLIDAY WEEK (Total cost , not each).
We had read some bad reviews about this hotel, but after adding ryanair flights from our local airport at total £300, all in we had a week in spain for less than £600 with our food, thats £100 less than our usual caravan break in UK. So we thought wht not give it a try.
Hotel is approx 8 miles from Reus airport midway between Salou and Cambrils. Room was allocated on arrival and we were lucky to get a room overlooking the pool and with a gorgous view out to sea. Clear bright sunny skies every day, 28 degrees average temp.
The room was small and basic, especially for a family of 4, but it was very clean and was cleaned every day by the hotel staff and the beds were remade. Bathroom was fine with fresh towels and toiletries provided. Balcony was pleasant, it had sun most of the day and was nice to sit and look out.
We loved the fact that the pool and beach were only a few steps away and there were no roads for the kids to worry about. Beach and sea were very clean. Pool and pool area was also very clean and lifeguard was present. We always managed to get sunbeds.
Very mixed crowd in the hotel: young and old, couples and families. Majority Spanish, with German, Dutch, Italian And Russian holidaymakers, oh and we did hear a couple of other British families.
Restaurant is canteen style layout with all you can eat breakfast and dinner buffet. We found the food perfectly acceptable and we all found something each day we enjoyed. Drinks are free with breakfast. Evening buffet drinks and subsidized approx 1/2 normal prices. Example bottle of house wine £5.
Staff are Spanish and hardly speak any English. There is night time entertainment, example sword thrower, acrobats and flamenco dancers !!!! Say no more
Bingo in 6 different languages was more entertaining the entertainment that followed.
With the money we saved on the hotel we were able to visit Port Aventura theme park, Aquapolis water park, and the roman city in Tarragona. All in easy reach and great fun.

All in all everything about this holiday exceeded our expectations, and we all agreed we will do the same trip again.

Of course at these prices there are minus points. Getting by without speaking Spanish was sometimes tricky. The hotel was full so was noisy on an evening and did not calm down till after midnight. The walls between rooms are very thin. We were fortunate to have respectful folk around us, but if you get noisy neighbours it would be off-putting.
A group of about 30 school kids moved in on our last night. That would have been noisy if they were staying in rooms close by.

I have just returned from a one week's stay with three friends at Hotel Augustus. We all had separate rooms (a twin room each for small extra charge) with sea views. We arrived late in the evening but they had prepared a cold snack for us on arrival. The hotel is very clean, food good and varied and staff very helpful. The hotel is situated in a very good position right by the beach and on a direct bus route. The lovely town of Cambrils is a couple of miles one way and the other way takes you to Salou and Tarragona. You can obtain cards for 10 bus trips at a good saving from the office right by the hotel. The resort was quiet and very pleasant the week we were there though it was getting busy on the Saturday we came home. We were the only English people in the hotel but why should we complain about some of our requests not being fully understood when we had made no effort to learn Spanish. The only problem I found in my room was a faulty shower and this was fixed between me reporting it before breakfast and me returning to my room afterwards. There was entertainment every evening. We had a really lovely week and I would recommend this hotel to everyone wanting to stay in this area.
