Acqua Hotel Salou

Was a modern pool area with no children. Breakfast was lovely. They even have an indoor pool area which is nice. It's really close to the main Salou area and right beside the cliff/beach walk. Receptionist were helpful with getting to attractions and helping us to go Barcelona. Staff were pleasant and friendly.

Overall it was a cheap and easy stay but a few things were strange. Upon arrival we were told there was no rooms available for early check in. Which is fine but usually the receptionist would call house keeping to make sure or make some effort to see if they can accommodate you. But before we even reached the counter, we were told there is no rooms available. Then for check out we rang the receptionist at 11:10 to ask for a late check-out (we knew it was unlikely, just chancing our arm) but the receptionist told us that not only did they not have a late check out but that they "would like" if we checked out by 11:30. Even though check out is 12? And they even called us again at 11:45 and told us that check out is 11:30, even though it says check out is 12. So not only do they not accommodate late check out which is fine but they also wanted us to check out early. And it makes no sense to have everyone out of there room at 11:30 and check in, isn't till 3. Another thing that annoyed me was that when we checked in before we could access the room, we were allowed to leave our bags in a room, free of charge but the second we checked out and we're no longer guests, they asked us to use paid lockers. It was only 2 euro for the whole day but it's still the principle that they have a room the size of a meeting room completely free of charge. One last issue was the bedding, the linen was old and torn with stains and they expected us to half make it up ourselves with old brown quilts between the sheets.
