Stayed in larimar with UHC. Apartment was clean and tidy, fresh bedding and clean comfortable beds. Limited kitchen utensils and equipment but was enough to get by for the time we stayed. Again everything was clean. The place had no wi-fi and at the end of your stay you have to clean the place unless you're prepared to pay €70 extra. The price we paid for October was reasonable for a family of four. UHC lady was very polite, although we had an hour wait as the office desk wasn't open , it opens at4pm. It was our 3rd time in Salou so we new where to go, but for someone that never been might be quite confusing. I would definitely stay again in the apartment (no7) but not for they charging in summer.

Rentalmar Larimar apartments. Package booked via LoveHolidays. Our flight arrived on time and after usual slow passport control we made it to the transfer desk. We were told it would be an 80 minute wait for a transfer coach, which was on time. Arriving in Salou 75 minutes later at 23.45. We were dropped some distance from our hotel/ apt, but with help from Google maps we arrived at the large complex. The place is very secure with no way in, we were unsure what to do next. It’s now midnight. By chance a wonderful couple who live in the apartments, walking their dogs ( turns out only some are holiday rentals) asked if we were lost. I showed them our booking paperwork. The man called the number on the form which gave a recorded message ( in Spanish, no help) he then noticed the Rentalmar name on the slip I’d been given by the coach transfer and said they have an office here. We walked some 500m to thankfully find it open. I managed to get keys after paying 325€, in damage deposit and visitor tax, not mentioned by Love holidays ( fortunately I did bring my credit card.) If it had not been for this amazing couple we would probably have slept on a park bench. Anyway, once inside, the apt is basic, no toaster, but a small amount of cookware. There are 7 hand towels but no bath towels provided. Also no blankets if it gets chilly. I have taken photo of all damaged items on arrival should they be questioned after we leave. ( broken curtain rail, which fell down completely on day 2, broken worktop at tap in kitchen, damaged socket. We also realized on day 2 that the toilet had a slight leak under the pan which is what’s causing the slight pissy smell, disinfectant is being used in and around the pan after every use) Our apt is roadside first floor and with all windows closed is really quite noisy all night through. Day 2 & we’ve used the pool a couple of times which is beautifully clean and well cared for. Not too busy in the day, although the local residents descend around 4pm for the evening. [[For anyone else booked in here, this is the office address to collect keys which is not mentioned by Loveholidays at all…. Rentalmar. Carrer de Navarra, 2, 43840 Salou, Tarragona, Spain]]. The office is open 24/7 so no issue with flight times. We now have 7 days before we worry about when, or if the return transfer will pick us up and get us to the airport in time for our flight home. Fast forward to our return transfer and yes we were picked up at the hotel we’d been dropped at the previous week ( not our accommodation, but a few minutes up the road) We arrived at the airport in time for our flight home which went smoothly. Salou. My €300 damage deposit was also cancelled from my credit card within a couple of days of arriving home. The long sandy beach is great for families, but if you’re after something more natural and less busy, we found 3 beautiful coves, 2 Stoney and rocky (Playa del pilons & another next to) where snorkeling was great fun, the Third ( platja dels cappellans) a much smaller sandy beach with no sun loungers, out towards Tarregon. The old town which is beyond the harbour at Salou is worth a look. Some nice traditional Spanish shops and a fish and meat market along with some lovely fruit stalls. Much less touristy than the strip and side streets with their cafe bars and souvenir shops.
