Pins Platja Apartments

“Enjoyable for price”

Apartments are a bit basic, but well equipped. Beds very comfortable. Lots of clean towels and bed linen. Apartment cleaned during our week there.

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

“Functional and well located”

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 d… more

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.

“Worth it to pay for the sea-view rooms”

We had a sea-view room in 'BLOCK 5'. It was fantastic. As a budget apartment, it was exactly as we expected. The whole complex is a bit tired, as an example, tiles in the bathroom have been replaced with new tiles which do not match, our own room's door skin was in a grim state all peeling and crum… more

We had a sea-view room in 'BLOCK 5'. It was fantastic. As a budget apartment, it was exactly as we expected. The whole complex is a bit tired, as an example, tiles in the bathroom have been replaced with new tiles which do not match, our own room's door skin was in a grim state all peeling and crumbling. We were able to see past these issues because our room was in a great spot. Up on the 3rd floor with an un-interrupted view of the great beach. The main part of the hotel with reception and pool is on the land-side of a busy road along with 4 accommodation blocks and a small restaurant. Barring check in and check out we were not over there at all. On the sea side are the two other blocks which have the prime sea-view rooms. They sit behind several restaurants (reviewed elsewhere) we did not hear any noise after hours from these. There is also a cool jacuzzi pool and basic outdoor gym and some sun loungers on the shore side of the accommodation. There is a small lift to the upper floors however there are steps and ramps up to the accommodation from the road. The beds were pretty comfy, everything worked in the kitchen, our air-con was quiet and very effective. There is a Michaelangelo supermarket straight across the road and provided enough food and drinks for us.

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.
