Just come back from a week here. Gardens are beautifully maintained, property very clean, staff friendly without exception. There is onsite bar, restaurant and shop but prices very expensive. You are only a mile from Cambrils - bike hire is on site (230 euros for a week for a family of four). The three pools were clean and well maintained, but I think solar heated as they were too cold on a cloudy day. My family (two boys 11 and 13) loved the location and the holiday. Three ping pong tables are available for free use, and they have tennis and horseriding on site (we didn't try these). Cambrils is touristy but not over-developed, with lots of restaurants, ice cream shops and souvenir shops. We made a lot of use of the dedicated bike path with goes on for about 5 miles to Salou (a bit too touristy for me). Cleaners came mid-week to change bedding and clean. All in all, a lovely location and a great holiday.

Have just returned from a great holiday in one of the detached villas (127)which are nice and spacious with air conditioning in every room.Would recommend,1) hire bikes not that cheap but excellent quality bikes for all ages and the their is a dedicated cycle track along the beach to (2km) and beyond to salou(11km)2) the tennis is superb with an excellent coach called silvi who our 8 and 9 yr old really enjoyed being coached by.3) pool and beach excellent and never too busy4) horse riding was good fun for my daughter but think my wife had concerns about how well they are kept ?5) garden at villa with loads of space, outdoor shower, very secure and 200m fom beach and pools.Minor quibbles 1) buffet was ok, Mediterranean night was the best for our family but we cycled to cambils most evenings as there is more choice to keep everyone happy.2) no double bed in the villa3) clean and tidy villa with the bathrooms stunning having being refurbished recently I guess and that refurb needs to extend to purchasing a new cooker and replacing some of the plates and bits. But washing machine and dishwasher all good.Overall would recommend and we will be going back next year

I'm writing this review during our last day of stay at the PEP and since this is our fifth year in a row that we enjoy our vacations here this should already say a lot about our grade of satisfaction. Need to be said that the structure is made by an hotel and a villas area, which is further divided in Atrium (bungalows) and real villas. We have alleate been in the Atrium which we consider the best solution for a family with kids therefore this review regards only this latters beside the common areas. As in all reviews there are pros and cons:PROS- Three very large heated pools (one indoor in the SPA) never crowded. Differently from other hotels there is not the abitude of running early in the morning to occupy restchairs and best places and regardless of the time you get to the pool you will always be able to spot a confortable place for you. - Right in front of the beach. Depending on the bungalow it is a 70 to 100 meters walk to get to the beach. Umbrellas and restchairs are available free for the guests and similarly to the pool also the beach is never crowded because the PEP is quite isolated from the village and therefore few non guest come here. - Sandy secured beach. Ideal for childrens aged 2-10 yrs. - Excellent sport facilities. You can practice sailing, wind-surf, tennis, horse-riding, biking all within the centre and there is a golf course close to the PEP. - One restaurant "a la carte" and one buffet restaurant plus two bars (one poolside and another right on the beach open until 2 a.m.). - Starting from this year a good wifi coverage in all common areas (beach included), hotel and some of the bungalows. - Green areas. Probably the best in the area. You are always surronded by very well kept gardens and green areas and is astonishing seeing the time dedicated to keep it like this. - Bungalows are larger than any other I saw in Spain or France. Two rooms, bathroom, kitchen, a large living room and a closed big "patio" made them the best choice for a family with kids. CONS- As said the centre is quite isolated therefore if you are looking for the nightlife kind of vacation this is not the right place. Cambrils, which is a very nice village, is 2.5km far from the PEP so you should consider renting bikes if you have no car otherwise you will have to settle with the centre's offer, which is not exactly the best in town. - Value of the restaurants. If you are in the hotel and don't want to go to Cambrils to have dinner you will notice that the restaurant are a bit expensive compared to the ones in town and to the quality of the food. This is not an issue if you are staying in the villas or you have a car or bikes though. - WiFi. Even if It was a very positive surprise finding an increased coverage this year, the wifi does not come for free. You pay 18¿¿¿ for one week, which may be fine, but this is normally free in almost all hotels three stars and above. Also you need to consider that not all bungalows are covered (we were lucky and got one with excellent coverage). - No A/C in the bungalows (don't know about the hotel) and since this part of Spain in some periods may get really hot this is something you need to be aware. - Furniture of the bungalows are quite old and sometimes worn-out. Even if always functional these seem to be the original furnitures dated more than 20 yrs and considering the level of the centre and the price they are below expectations. As said in the title is almost close to a five star rating based on my personal criteria if the management can only focus a little more on the areas of improvment above mentioned.

We booked 8 nights in the hotel part of Pueblo Eldorado Playa, and we thought the rooms were of a basic standard, however they were comfortable and kept clean. The grounds which surrounded the complex were beautiful , with gardens and flowers and these were looked after every day. The only disappointing part of the holiday was the buffet which we didnt pre-book but decided the first few nights we would pay for as we didnt fancy walking to Cambrils. The food was simple , and although there was a lot of choice, a lot of dishes were repeated daily. I dont feel it was worth the ¿¿51.00 that they charged! We also found that the pool bars were expensive , even for a snack at lunch. Even simple starters were priced about 10 Euro. This holiday is great for families, but i would advise you hire bikes and go into Cambrils to eat , where you can find more variety, better quality and reasonable prices. We felt that as there are no other bars or restaurants nearby, they know that you rely on the food services there! We really enjoyed our stay, beach was fantastic, and pools were never over crowded considering its a huge complex , its just a shame that the food lets the standard down. The staff were friendly and the entertainment is varied, for children and adults.Breakfast was also fairly average, pastries, fruit, cereals and egg and bacon which is cooked in front of you on request, A major factor for us was also the noise , as in previous hotels we have been disturbed night after night with doors slamming etc, however,at the Pueblo Eldorado we didnt hear anything and even sitting on the terrace at night it was very quiet! All in the all, we had a great holiday but would obviously rate this hotel higher if the food was better and more reasonably priced.

We stayed in one of the villas. It was very clean and comfortable with a lovely private garden. The resort has beautiful gardens very colourful and clean. The swimming pools are great and my 3yr old loved them. There is also a nice 2km walk into Cambrills its a nice easy stroll with a few playgrounds along the way for the kids.In a nutshell we loved it and will be back.
