Fantastic experience: City of small size, next to Aquópolis Costa Dorada. A special mention to the beach and the promenade that goes all the way to Salou. Almost all parking areas are blue zones and you have to pay until late at night.
Positive experience: The large 'free parking' where the camper vans park being flooded, I went to the one across the street, parking a little away to spend the night. The drivers took great pleasure in 'sticking' their cars next to mine (French license plate), I heard them say it.
Fantastic experience: Small town but very nice, a lot of businesses and there is the water park, beach with very clean water, good hotels and restaurants
Positive experience: Wouldn't recommend going in the summer because it's packed at the beaches but it's a nice place to take the kids to the parks
Positive experience: Pleasant walk by the sea. In winter, there is usually no parking problem, but in summer you have to be lucky. At Christmas, they build a large sand nativity scene that can be visited for free. Recommended.

Positive experience: A beautiful place with a huge and well-kept beach. I won’t give it 5 stars because in my opinion, there should be an area for dogs to swim comfortably. Nevertheless, the atmosphere is very pleasant, worth a visit.
Fantastic experience: El mejor sitio de la costa dorada, playa para toda la familia, buen ambiente , cercanía a la capital y a otros centros neurálgicos como Salou, Cambrils y Reus.
Positive experience: Vinimos a pasar el día por la cercanía a Zaragoza y fue ideal.Un día estupendo

Fantastic experience: At the end of the afternoon, being able to stroll on the beach sand, sit down and listen to the sound of the sea is a privilege.
Fantastic experience: Beach that doesn't cover, very fine sand
Positive experience: I went early on Saturday, the sand freshly swept, the water clean, every 130 meters there are bathrooms and high showers for feet, everything very clean and tidy. My congratulations to those responsible for keeping such clean beaches.
Fantastic experience: Although its beaches have very fine sand, I love it, total relaxation.
Positive experience: La Pineda, used to coming on vacation to Salou, mainly by Passeig Jaume, we wanted to 'test' this place this year. There are quite a few hotels and shops. The restaurants are much more expensive than on the other side of Salou. The beach is clean but as soon as you head towards the port it is not very wide anymore, so there is little sand. Many oil tankers waiting to enter the port, which often 'pollute' both the landscape and the environment. Therefore, personally, I don't like this 'corner' of Salou at all, but that's just my humble opinion.

Fantastic experience: I love your promenade, a variety of bars, restaurants, and supermarkets all open. The parks for children are lovely, everything is very well maintained.
Positive experience: Really cool place. We were here in the autumn period. For us, the temperatures were very good and pleasant. We even swam in the sea. The only unfortunate thing is that many restaurants or cafés are closed. We will definitely come back sometime!
Positive experience: Fabulous week in this unspoilt area of the Costa Dorada. Beautiful beach and even though it was out of season we still found plenty of bars and restaurants. Would definitely recommend it & would return in a breath.
Fantastic experience: It's one of my favorite beaches (water, restaurants, apartment...) and since they renovated the beach bars and umbrellas it's even better.
Positive experience: They have removed beach bars and the wooden walkway to the beach. The few bathrooms available are clean.

Positive experience: The beach was calm and the water was very clear, I noticed a lack of lifeguards.
Fantastic experience: Tranquilidade, água quente, segurança , bom tempo. Eapectacular!
Negative experience: Vine con la familia a celebrar lo de San Juan y lo único bueno las playas a primera hora. Gente tirando petardos a sitios con gente cenando, sin importar si dan a los coches y uno casi prende varios árboles, y para colmo la policia local pasando andando al lado y pasando, nula seguridad y nula sensación de bienestar. No lo recomiendo.
Fantastic experience: La playa muy familiar con todo tipo de servicios. Parques infantiles, gimnasio al aire libre totalmente nuevo y gratuito. Parasoles tropicales, zonas de hamacas y chiringuitos. Lavabos públicos gratuitos. Duchas. Servicio de socorristas. Restaurantes con vistas al mar .
Positive experience: Su exclusividad de Bandera Azul y la atención de los Socorrista y Servicio. La zona de servicios y tienda que acompañan a la zona playera.

Fantastic experience: A place to relax and good walks
Negative experience: The beach is located near the road. From the beach, a huge port and cargo ships are visible. The cleanliness of the sea is not reassuring. I didn't swim there myself, but I drove by several times and had no desire to swim there primarily because of the beach's location.

Positive experience: I liked the beach
Positive experience: A place to go on vacation Sun and beach
Fantastic experience: Especially ideal for people with foot weakness, as the beach leads gently into the water and is also easy to leave again.
Fantastic experience: Very clean..... quiet place... small shop nearby....
Negative experience: Camping with a really unpleasant smell that probably comes from the surroundings (wastewater treatment plant). Electricity charged but cut off for the last night. When this is reported, a refund is denied. Pool opens only at 10:30 AM and slide only at 4 PM. In short, really to be avoided for the price of 91 euros for a standard pitch for one night.

Fantastic experience: Very well-structured place, divine promenade. For me, I would only improve the monitoring of the cleanliness of the boats as the water is clear and little by little you can see oil bubbles which is a real shame.
Fantastic experience: The beach is good, there is a good variety of services, it is missed more information about activities with children in case there were any.
Fantastic experience: Excellent for summer vacation. A magnificent beach, all the services, and without the crowded chaos of Salou. It has improved a lot and continues to grow. It has great restaurants, a large promenade, and a good atmosphere. Highly recommended. Close to Port Aventura, it has a water park, Aquópolis, and a great golf course.
Fantastic experience: Although its beaches have very fine sand, I love it, total relaxation.
Fantastic experience: Nice beaches
Fantastic experience: Super
Positive experience: Restful, enjoyable, pleasant
Positive experience: The large 'free parking' where the camper vans park being flooded, I went to the one across the street, parking a little away to spend the night. The drivers took great pleasure in 'sticking' their cars next to mine (French license plate), I heard them say it.

Positive experience: A place where you can enjoy its beach and leisure.
Fantastic experience: A longer and wider beach with beach bars. Cool
Fantastic experience: It has been very pleasant to discover such a beautiful place
Fantastic experience: Calm and nice beach
Fantastic experience: For me, paradise! I have been going for 33 years and not a year goes by without a desire to go. It is true that the new beach bars completely alter the family essence it had before they were built. What a shame. But still, one of the best on the Mediterranean coast of Spain.

Fantastic experience: Superb restaurant .. location by the sea ... magnificent
Positive experience: Very beautiful beach
Positive experience: A seaside resort from another time, a lot of concrete, old buildings, and a petrochemical park right next door. We had to go through a chemical risk lockdown drill, not very reassuring.
Negative experience: Thieves broke into our hire car and stole all our luggage on the day we landed. Totally ruined otherwise great family get together. This seems to be endemic crime in the area. At the police station another group arrived with the same incident. Guest book at British Consulate in Barcelona had pages of entries reporting the same. It's definitely a thing so be careful.

Positive experience: A beautiful place with a huge and well-kept beach. I won’t give it 5 stars because in my opinion, there should be an area for dogs to swim comfortably. Nevertheless, the atmosphere is very pleasant, worth a visit.
Fantastic experience: Just a beach, there is no other entertainment. Spacious places, very diverse, walks in the mountains among pines, but it is purely touristy.

Positive experience: We have been coming here for 25 years this year, way too many people. People are too noisy.

Fantastic experience: I love the playground and the outdoor gyms that have been set up.
Negative experience: Good. It is full of local restaurants run by foreigners. You can stroll around. I won't post photos for you to walk around yourself. The food situation is outrageous; they harass you to eat in their establishment or on the terrace. Annoying.
