The
three-pearl Golden Avenida Suites is a family-friendly hotel that's a 10-minute walk from Salou's Llevant Beach. The 180 One- and Two-Bedroom Suites have mini-fridges, microwaves, and balconies -- some with pool views -- but the streamlined modern decor is cookie-cutter basic. With four swimming
pools and two hot tubs, the hotel offers plenty of places to take a dip, and has one restaurant serving buffet meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner -- all-inclusive rates are available. Travelers seeking a comparable hotel closer to the beach should check out the 4R Playa Park Hotel, although rates will be higher.

Scene
A lively hotel geared toward families with young children
The multi-story Golden Avenida Suites resembles an unassuming apartment block from
the outside, which hides grounds that include an expansive walled playground with mini-golf, slides, and other colorful kid-friendly equipment. The open-plan lobby is large, with lots of granite and plenty of light that streams through the atrium. Purple couches and two massage chairs providing seating. The one bar and two hot tubs are popular gathering places for the adults, though the bulk of guests here are families with younger children who flock here in the summer, especially from the U.K. Kids have their own pool, complete
with a fish-shaped water slide and the hotel's parent and baby room, with its sterliizers, blenders, and cots, is a plus for families traveling with infants. Couples looking for a romantic seaside escape may want to consider other options in the area.
Location
A 10-minute walk to Llevant Beach, outside of downtown Salou
Located in a fairly sedate section of the city on the edge of Salou’s downtown area, Golden Avenida Suites is surrounded by other resorts that bustle with activity in the summertime. Llevant Beach has a beachfront promenade and frequent informal volleyball matches on the sand -- it's a little over 10 minutes from the hotel on foot. PortAventura theme park, a major area draw that has plenty of thrill rides and attractions for smaller kids, is a five-minute drive from the hotel. For
art enthusiasts and adults, the Gaudi Center is an 18-minute drive, and the Avenida de Carles Buigas strip, with its shops and bars, is within a four-minute walk of the hotel. Salou Station is an 11-minute drive from the hotel and provides connections to Barcelona in 80 minutes. The regional Reus Airport is about a 15-minute drive, while Barcelona El-Prat Airport is a 70-minute drive from the hotel.
Rooms
Modern One- and Two-Bedroom Suites with balconies
The hotel's 180 One- and Two-Bedroom Suites are clean, basic, and modern, with a sharp rouge
motif and sharp hardwood floors. Design is uniform throughout the suites, which have balconies, space-saving Scandinavian-style wood furniture, and wall-mounted flat-screen TVs with
satellite channels that can be viewed from either the beds or the pear-green seating areas in the living rooms. Colorful artwork adds a touch of kid-friendly personality, and although some of the furnishings show wear and tear, rooms are clean and
well maintained. Each room features a stainless
steel microwave, electric kettle, kitchen sink, and mini-fridge. Bathrooms are
cleverly fitted with floor-to-ceiling sand colored tiles, creating a sense of
space, with shower/tub combos and bidets. All rooms include free Wi-Fi and air-conditioning.
Features
Four swimming pools, kid-friendly features, and all-inclusive options
This hotel features a walled playground with an abundance of kids' entertainment, including a children’s pool
complete with water slides, a multi-functional sports court, table tennis, pool tables, mini-golf course, and indoor game room with a selection
of arcade machines. Parents
can escape to one of the hotel’s two hot tubs, or three adult pools, and there's an on-site nursery. The one on-site restaurant serves buffet meals, and the hotel's bar sells sandwiches, pizzas, pastas, salads, and share platters. All-inclusive rates are available. On-site parking is available for a fee. Free
Wi-Fi is available throughout the property.
