Hotels Near EL TEU RACÓ in Tarragona

The rooms are tiny. Paper thin walls. No bathroom door. Just a swinging glass door. Anything that happens in the bathroom is heard throughout the room. No in room coffee. If you are used to AC Marriott levels of service you will be disappointed here. We booked a family room for our family of three. We requested a higher level floor corner with a view. We received confirmation that the hotel would do everything they could to accommodate our request. The room they gave us was interior with a view of a brick wall and it was so small the three of us could barely stand at the same time, and no place to sit just on the bed. When I asked about them accommodating our request they told me that the people that respond to specific requests have no idea what types of rooms are available in the hotel. The reception staff was friendly yet very novice and did not understand the concept of taking care of the guest. I requested ice to take to our room and 15 minutes later, while waiting in the lobby, I received a little bucket with eight cubes of ice and was told the charge would be one euro for the ice. There was no manager on duty. Reception staff told me that this Hotel is for individual business travelers, not families. This is true. We had to purchase an additional room at full price to accommodate our son. The family room is not large enough to accommodate three people comfortably. We will not be staying here again and will be very hesitant about booking accommodations with AC Marriott again…

Hotel was in a great location, close to the beach, train station and lots of cafes/shops / restaurants. Everything was walkable. The staff were all very friendly and helpful - eventhough we speak very limited spanish. Pastries and bottled water were provided each morning and there were tea and coffee facilities in the lobby. The hotel air conditioning was really strong, we never felt too hot overnight and the room was very clean and well presented!

While this hotel has a good rate and some ok aspects to it (relatively clean room, convenient parking garage across the street), there are many issues with it otherwise. The receptionist wasn’t very friendly or helpful at the start… that didn’t bode well. I had to do a couple hours of work as soon as I got to my room and quickly realized that the WiFi signal didn’t reach my room - bear in mind I was only on the second floor of about six floors! So I couldn’t use the internet which, obviously, is pretty important for most work these days. I even tried to do some work with my computer just outside my room but the signal was poor even in the halls ways. And to make matters worse, the hallway smelled like cigarette smoke. Pretty sure this is a non-smoking hotel! So I decide to do my work in the lobby. I end up having dinner there and order a pasta dish. No joke, the top half of the pasta was warm and the bottom part was cold. Did they just throw it into a microwave? It was pretty disappointing. In terms of the room itself, it was spacious and the bed was comfortable enough but when I went to take a shower, not only would the water not drain properly - creating an ever-growing pool of water on the shower floor - but the temperature was all wonky. It went from slightly warm to searing hot… again, not ideal. I’m a pretty easy-going traveler and for this price, I shouldn’t really complain BUT this city did seem to have plenty of options in the price range so maybe it’s best to try another spot unless you have a good reason to want to stay in this particular location.

Location Great location, right on the beach. Room Our room was very comfortable and the fittings to a high standard and in excellent condition. Food Quality of food was good, but we tended to use the microwave to heat it up. Fresh orange juice at breakfast, and the cook to order section was to a good quality. Staff We received excellent support from staff at reception, and the staff in the buffet were friendly and professional. Transportation Turn right and you very quickly reach the office for ‘Plana’, the local bus company. Buses to Salou were every 15 minutes on the Plana office side of the road. Buses to Tarragona were every 30 minutes on the hotel side of the road. Tours Montserrat - we went on an all day coach tour with Plana, which was well organised, enjoyable, and good value. Tarragona - we went on a GuruWalk of Tarragona. Supermarkets Turn left, and you will quickly reach a number of supermarkets. Overall We really enjoyed our stay and would happily recommend the Best Terramarina.

Got positives and negatives about this hotel Cleanliness 10 out of 10 Food is ok ,not much for kids daughter been fussy but puddings are amazing We payed for full board but end up paying got water £3 on lunch and dinner which I though only alcoholic drinks we gonna get charge (we don’t drink ) Entertainments starts really early with singers everyday so no way could chill near pool Spa open from 11-13.30! And 5-8 which we not been inform at reception about it and also you after wear swimming caps which £3 each and if you want sauna is £6 per 30 min it seems you always end up paying for things which thinking if is full board not gonna cost you anything !!! Good thing beach and town is only 15-20 min walks which didn’t bothred us and theme park is closed by too this is reason why we book it it here and reus airport 20 min which is good location! Shame about weather but is not hotel fault !

A pleasant, fresh, clean hotel, staff responsive, less than 10 minutes walk to the sea, is located in a quiet, quiet place, noise under the windows is not heard, while to all entertainment facilities 10 - 15 minutes walk. Breakfasts are very delicious, take not regret! In our room there was no refrigerator, dishes, utug is issued on bail, safe for an additional fee.

The beautiful old buildings that make up the hotel are in the most picture perfect village of Altafulla and our expectations were v high for our little Spa Break. First Impressions : our suite was basic, lacking in any personality or chic soft furnishing touches. It felt very cold, clinical and like an unloved basic air b n b not a supposed 4 star historic hotel. The living area was also super dark, no real amenities in the bathroom besides nailed to the wall shower gel / shampoo. No luxe touches at all, no mini bar, coffee maker… nothing that I’ve come to expect from a European 4 star hotel. The lovely Italian male receptionist couldn’t have been more helpful tho he moved us almost immediately and continued to help us throughout our stay despite our issues so 5 stars for him. The housekeeping staff was also lovely and our waitress in the super fancy resto. Here are the list of issues that the hotel need to address: - Sinks are still shallow the water just splashes back at you. V much style over practicality - only 1 bathmat in a room for 2 people - grill in shower came off and moved around - no rug , no paintings/ photos/ no coffee machine or kettle / no mini bar - no room service - no tissues / cotton buds / body lotion / conditioner - safe was not working I had reserved spa slots and massages n advance but when we arrived the Spa is NOT a spa it’s a tiny facility with a v small jacuzzi type pool big enough for 4 people and another tiny plunge pool all in a very confined space which feels claustrophobic with more than 2 or 3 people in. The sauna is tiny as is the steam room which was not even working. Never mind we thought we will brave the cold and go for a lovely outdoor swim … another reason we choose this hotel as according to the website the pool would be open, it was not ! It was being dosed with chlorine and we were not allowed in. The spa had double booked our massages and in fact they could only accommodate one of us the following day and the therapist was one hour late as her car had broken down and when she did arrive made no apology, made my friend wait until she’d had a coffee and then administered a very poor massage with next to no pressure despite being asked several times to go harder. She didn’t ask any health questions about allergies or injuries …. Shockingly poor ! The dinner at the restaurant was v good if a little fancier that what we fancied but the pizza resto wasn’t open. The lighting in the restaurant v bright and lacking ambience as a result. The winery trip was interesting and the village is fabulous with a couple of great bars and restos and an amazing deli. It’s a shame about the hotel as it could be spectacular if the management spent some money on some tweaks that would make a world of difference to the guest experience. A good interior designer could help to warm up and personalise the gorgeous old buildings

This place is just right. It offers a welcome home from home to explore lovely gentle Altafulla. Feels like a family place. Almost don’t want to review it so well in case everyone finds out about it and it gets too busy! Super basic but comfy room, everything you need. Superb service from every single member of staff we came across. Couldn’t do enough to help, clean towels and water from reception whenever needed. Room and all communal areas spotless. Fresh flowers in reception all the time. Delicious generous fresh buffet. One of those “busy but there’s always space for one more” places. Just getting it all so right.

The hotel needs an urgent reform. Breakfast buffet with very low quality products. The hotel is very comfortable and comfortable. Good attention in reception. During breakfast, staff is not available. Room with very old furniture.
