We stay here often, it’s good and clean. Staff are friendly.
Food options here are very limited. So we tend to drive into Salou. Most people choose to queue up for ages for a buffet 😬

Lake of options for food at night. Included meals with rate had no reservations available and were not able to use. Better understanding of requirements pre arrival would have been helpful. Room was small and could be updated.

We had a fantastic time at the PortAventura Gold River Hotel. We stayed in the Wild West area—it was incredible! The setting was so immersive, the kids were thrilled, and everyone we met was super friendly. I highly recommend it for a fun family getaway!

The main hotel seemed nice on arrival, staff polite and happy to help. Buffet Breakfast was well organised with time slots and good variety of well booked food. The rooms needs modernising and look tired and a little outdated but the main issue is that we got bitten within the room and following GP appointment on our return have been advised that they are “bed bug” bites. We have advised the hotel of our room number and hope they deep clean and destroy mattress and bedding. We have ok return used smoke bombs and sprays to ensure that we haven’t brought any bed bugs home with us in luggage or on clothing. Access to the theme park was easy but it’s a shame as out of season that lots of rides weren’t open, with shorter access times

Accommodation is ok and delivers to promise with kind employees, but service is always a bit too slow to what one would expect with long queues for breakfast and dinner.
In general, a good value for money, but don’t expect any luxury.

Stayed at Callaghan's (part of Gold River Hotel). Quiet hotel, big rooms and good beds.
Easy parking, delicious breakfast and buffet dinner.
Hotel is closeby entrance of Port Aventura, has a great swimming pool.

Fantastic hotel, we stayed at the Callaghan building but used the main hotel for check in and meal times. It was spotless, staff were friendly and everyone in our family loved the theme. Hotel has own entrance to the park which was handy. Food was very good, huge choice at buffet. Drinks prices were very reasonable. Would recommend.

We had a great time in PortAventura, we stayed in Gold River Callaghan. We had full board; breakfast and dinner were at the main building; for lunch you have QR codes and use it various restaurants in all over the park. Rooms were comfortable, clean and quiet. ParkAventura park was all fun, and staff were great.

Excellent value, limited amenities.
Room was nice, the hotel itself is themed amazingly. The main buffet was a bit of a scrum with huge lines but ultimately staff worked with urgency and got people through. Very much organised chaos. Reception were excellent, they had our room ready when we arrived at 9am and offered us a late checkout too. Proximity to the park is also a huge plus.
For a four star hotel I would have expected more in room amenities, like a working extractor fan, amenity kits in the bathroom, a second pillow, but overall as a place to crash after a long day in the park it worked quite well.

It is a little bit sad, that in the evening no bar or pub is open in the hotel area. The main bar inside the main building of the hotel close around midnight and afterwards is nothing open anymore. This is really sad, especially since you have a nice saloon at the hotel area. We would appreciate a pub where a bit relaxed music, maybe also country, is running and a last relaxed beer would be possible for the day. Beside on that, I love this area because it is very interesting to explore the hotel area as well like the coaster park itself.
Breakfast and Dinner are very nice, you have only to understand that the time for both, mentioned at the registration, is not for entry the restaurant, it is the time you have for eating in general. So if you intend to enjoy the meal, enter the restaurant early in your chosen time frame.

We had a great time at the Hotel Good River, PortAventura. The only inconvenience was the lack of a supermarket within walking distance or any dining options other than those in the parks or the buffet restaurant at the hotel which became boring after eating the same food every day. Over all though, the hotel was very clean and brilliantly themed and we would definitely recommend and will return one day

Good hotel with direct access to park
Check in was slow as room wasn't ready even until about 4pm so we had to wait at the lobby for about an hour which was a bummer as we had rushed to end our half day tour by 3pm.
Hard to figure out where our room was from the map as we had to head outdoors and identify the right building.
Dinner timing is a little restrictive as need to prebook a timeot and it's difficult to get the time slot you want on the first day since those who stayed the night before would have done it way earlier.
Direct park access was great though, so I would recommend still because of that.

Great Hotel during offseason
We wanted to stay on site to attend Ferrari Land and Portaventura. Due to it being offseason, there was not a shuttle. Ferrari Land is about a 15 minute walk from the hotel but has direct access to Portaventura. This allowed us to get on Uncharted very quickly and beat the rush. Overall, really enjoyed the entertainment and thought the price was great value.

Unfortunately didn’t recognise Expedia gold member status and when I spoke to different staff including a manager they said they never heard of such benefits which was disappointing. Convenient to parks and clean.
Food - we went full board - breakfast was ok decent selection. However, avoid dinner in buffet at hotel it was poor selection and no drinks available (not even water) you have to buy wine or beer. Exchange your voucher for one of restaurants in park or the la Liga one just outside.

Hotel is very pretty, check in was easy, room was ready early. Very close to the parks. Rooms were clean, spacious. Pool area was really lovely. I would stay again at this hotel. Only a few negatives. For a 4* hotel i would expect a kettle and somw tea and coffee, maybe a few biscuits. There was no kettle, not even a bottle of water. Breakfast was included in our stay and had some tea there, the food selection was ok, but did not cager to vegetarians at all. No veggie alternatives. The buffet dinner was just ok, not much selection, and nothing for vegetarian. Check out was easy, just leave and take your key card to get into the park. Reception staff were helpful and ordered us a taxi to vila seca to get the train to Barcelona. I will come back to this hotel.

This is a super busy hotel BUT it all runs smoothly, staff are very helpful, it’s a very well run operation.
Rooms are a tad old fashioned BUT I think they are still good value for money and they are cleaned every day.
The buffet is so busy BUT very slick, lots of food options, well cooked too. Lots of healthy options and for dinner there is a cold water dispenser which was appreciated.
The hotel access to the theme park is such a benefit as I heard that at the main entrance there were huge queues. Also, we loved that we could be at the pool and then in the park and then back to the pool so easily.
Everything is so convenient here and well managed. It’s definitely a kids holiday, the only slightly annoying thing are the pool rules. No hats, sunglasses, t shirts, balls floats etc. for kids wearing a hat in the pool is essential I think so my son did burn his shoulders even with factor 50 on!!! It didn’t spoil the holiday and we still had the best time.
