“Very clean,central,good food,excellent value for money”

We stayed at the olimar 2 hotel at the end of september 2010.We found it great value for money,mostly spanish guests and spanish food and entertainment but is,nt that the reason you go to Spain??I dont have a single complaint about the hotel,very clean and just 200metres from the lovely beach.loads of restaurants nearby in cambrils.There are no english/irish bars or anything like that in Cambrils so if you want a party type holiday avoid going here?but if you want a taste of real Spain and like quiet beaches and lovely walks and wathching the fishing boats landing their catch everyday then this is for you.The bus goes to Cambrils from Reus airport and costs €10.50 return.We got the bus and had no problems just tell the guy at the airport where your staying and what day and time your coming back and he willl give you a time to be at the bus stop.Its bus plana we used.

Me and my boyfriend stayed here on the 5th till 12th September. The weather was hot and sunny. We arrived at the hotel at 11:00am and our room was ready, the staff were friendly and gave us our key and told us about the meal times. Our room was spotless with a good view from the balcony. The air conditioning works well but only works with all the windows and balcony doors shut. The pool although very cold was quite big, there is table tennis, pool tables and kids club. Most of the guests where spanish, however this wasn't a problem as they were friendly. Entertainment was in Spanish (but we didn't mind because we didn't go). The safe in our room was a 30 euro deposit. There was always enough sun loungers around the poolside and the pool was never too busy. There is also a poolside bar which is very good. We really enjoyed our stay at the hotel and definitely want to come back. We liked Cambrils as it is near to Salou, Tarragona and Barcelona and it's a quieter area. The buffet was ok but not great for vegetarians as it was mostly meat with salad and veg however there was pasta some nights. Its also close to port aventura theme park and aquapolis waterpark.

“Excellent Food, fantastic kids entertainment, highly recommend!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2008

We (2 adults & toddler) stayed at this hotel for 8 nights in September 2008. We booked through Alpharooms and paid 284 for FULL BOARD for the 8 nights. It was fantastic.

At first we were a bit apprehensive to try the food as many buffet style holiday set ups receive such poor reviews, but we had booked it because the price was so reasonable and we were glad we did! The food was simply exceptional. I don't think i've ever had food of such a high quality in a buffet style before. The fish, in particular, was of a very high quality and the variety of fresh fruit, pastries, cakes, veg and main meals were fantastic.

The kids are well catered for here. Every night (bar sunday) there is a mini disco, kicking off at 9,30pm and finishing around 11.45pm. As the Spanish kids tend to siesta, they are ready to play right up 'till the witching hour! Something to be aware of if you're a young couple looking for a quiet break or pensioners expecting a quiet, relaxing holiday.

The hotel itself is clean and the we found the staff to be efficient. They don't speak much English if any at all, but do try to understand and persevere with you without becoming impatient. The clientele is predominantly Spanish with a few German nationals as well. That suited me fine. If i wanted to see any Brits i would have booked up in Salou.

The village of Cambrils is lovely. Its a quiet fishing port with a beautiful, sandy beach free from the intensely occupied, sunlounger splattered beaches of Salou.

All in, a great holiday for a family with young kids.

A tip - when you book in - try to get a room away from the lift and if you can, get a double bed instead of 2 singles pushed together.

  • Liked — Fantastic food, lots of kids activities and facilities, close to town and beach
  • Disliked — Room close to the lift (noise), 2 single beds pushed together instead of one double bed

“Beautiful place for family”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 October 2007

person found this review helpful

We stayed here for 6 days. lt was low season, and there was a mixture of old age french people and familys with children.
There are 3 buldings, and the pool its on the center, with a garden around the pool.
There was a ramp and a elevator to acces the apartment. Some of the balconys have view to the swiming pool and others to the street. The streets around the hotel are quiet, so it is posible to rest perfectly at night.
Parking the car is easy on low season because the blue parking area finish the 31 of september.
The flats are cleaned each day, they have A/A and heat pump, and a standard decoration.

The food it is quite good. Dont expect a kings buffet, but there was different salads, paella, fideua, hamburguer, saucises, chicken, fish, pasta, pizza, omelette, chips, a soup... (not everything all days....)
The dessert area has allways a pie and fresh asorted fruit, yoghourt, custard, ice cream, etc.

We had to pay for drinks at dinner and supper, and the water or beer cost 1,70 euros and the cheapest wine 8 euros.
The cafeteria area was nice, with billiards, childs games, cheap prices, and animation each night until aprox 23:00.
There are 2 different playing areas for small childs, and one free area in the cafeteria. And there is free activities for children (dancing, painting, games...) This hotel it is a nice place to go with young children.
The beach it is 150 meter away from the hotel, so it is only a small walk and you are in a big beautiful beach. And we were able to swim on the sea at the beginning of october...!

In short words, we liked this hotel, it is ideal to come with children, and good quality for the price that cost us in low season.

  • Liked — The apartments with two separate rooms and the dining buffet
  • Disliked — No wifi, the television was small

“Only young families need apply!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 August 2007

We booked this aparthotel as something of a unknown quantity. We knew we wanted to stay in Cambrils port area not down at Vilafortuny (an extension of Salou really) and this was about the only aparthotel available here. Little seemed to have been written on Tripadvisor, about the hotel when we booked it but we liked the idea it would be more orientated towards the Spanish holidaymaker, as we were learning to speak the language.

The hotel certainly lived upto to our expectation, with 95% if the clientele being Spanish young families with the remaining 5% other (bewildered) Europeans. Knowing some Spanish helped us to get by but others seemed to be having a good time. The hotel appeared to have been build as a couple of apartment blocks then converted to a hotel. On a positive note, the apartment where modern and spacious but the main restuarant was located in the basement in what would appeared to have been the garage of the main block. Although it was nicely decorated, having little natural light made the dining experience feel very remote and canteen like.

The hotel has a good location considering its so recently built but its 'in town' location meant that parking was difficult and/or metered. The hotel offered underground parking under the other building at 12 euros per night! The best solution was to park over the railway about 5 minutes walk away.

Also, we asked for a cot in our booking and where told by the agent that this would be payable locally. They charged 7 euros per night, if we had stayed longer than 1 week, it might have been cheaper to buy a travel cot locally.

The entertainment which was provide was of course only in Spanish and very family orientated. It seemed that every family had a couple of young children so most wanted to have them entertained whilst the parents watched close by. But each night, the entertainment lasted until midnight but our room was located just above the outdoor stage, the balcony being like our own box but it was difficult getting an early night.

All in all, a nice modern hotel for Spanish speaking families with young children but maybe not for any other groups.

  • Disliked — Expensive addons
