Reviews Summary
This summary was created by AI, based on recent reviews.
Powered by AI
Hotel Cala Font offers a tranquil seaside experience, with many guests lauding its picturesque setting and proximity to the beach. Service quality has been inconsistent, yet some travelers have encountered amiable staff. While the hotel's cleanliness and amenities generally receive commendations, the pool's tendency to overcrowd and variable food quality are points of contention. Accommodations boast impressive sea vistas, but critiques arise over storage and datedness. The ambience straddles a modern and retro vibe, with a lively entertainment mix. Opinions on value vary, with additional costs influencing perceptions.

Cala font review. This hotel is not suitable for anyone with mobility issues however slight. Hills and steps everywhere. Taxi’s don’t come to the front door for pick up - you have to go up the hill to the main road. The taxi service is abysmal anyway. Neither Salou taxis or La Pineda taxis (situated either side of Cap Salou) want to come out. We waited 1 and a half hours the first time and 1 hour and fifty minutes the second time just to get to Salou. Despite several phone calls to the taxi company and reassurance that we were high priority and next free cab etc. they never arrived! We also went to Pineda and then couldn’t get back easily. We had to ring that specific taxi company and needed more Spanish than I have to tell them what we wanted and where we were. There is a bus station which is up 2 hills from the hotel and down another, but if you are in a wheelchair like me it was impossible to access. Buses are frequent and go all along the coast. Tickets are relatively cheap. The food at Cala Font is very bland and ‘samey, samey every day. And you have to queue to get into the dining room for every meal while they tick your room number off just like being back at school. Self service and fight for a table each time. Lots of Brits here but also lots of Spanish and Germans, so it is nice to hear different languages. The staff are faultless and very efficient, especially all the cleaning staff. Superb!! The rules on towels on sunbeds was not followed by the staff. There is only 1 lifeguard at the pool and if he is distracted there is no one watching the water. There is a bar at the pool but don’t try and take any drinks purchased from there into the dining room to have with dinner. They won’t let you. You have to buy more drinks there. Same hotel and one assumes the same revenue coming in from both departments, so not understanding that. There is a beautiful beach but you have to be really fit to master the hill back up to the hotel.

We went to hotel Cala Font 27th September for a week half board. When we arrived at the hotel our rooms were not yet ready but we had read this beforehand. When we eventually got in the rooms about an hour or so later (approx 2pm) the rooms we were given were beautiful. We had been given pool/sea view rooms and the view was stunning, we had not paid to upgrade to these rooms so it was a nice surprise as I had seen other peoples views from the lift which wasn't so good. The food really lets this hotel down, there was 4 of us I am a picky eater anyway so knew I would struggle but the rest are not and really struggled to put together a meal in the evenings. The bacon and eggs were dripping in oil at breakfast as well. Microwave was filthy and you was waiting a while for the waiters to clear tables. The entertainment was very mediocre we had a live singer, karaoke, a dancer etc it starts at 10pm which is quite late! The location itself is very secluded, 45 min walk into Salou which is so much busier. Around the hotel there is hills everywhere to go in any direction you're going up or down steep hills and back up the other side. There is a pharmacy opposite the hotel and round a bit, a bit further down there was a good place to eat a few doors down from the Irish bar, they do usual english meals plus some spanish and Indian food, we ate there most lunches and one or two evenings that was lovely would highly recommend, great value for money and service. Pint of lager at the hotel is 3 euro. Hotel itself is clean the rooms are lovely and beautiful view if you get pool view. Beach stunning also just at the end of the street. We wouldn't return to this hotel due to the food and location.

When we were dropped off by the Transfer company, we had to walk to the hotel which was very difficult with our luggage as its very hilly, would have been nice to be dropped off in front of the hotel! First impressions were of the lobby, very nice and modern, we arrived quite late around midnight, checked in, was quite surprised that we had to hire a kettle as there are no tea making facilities in the rooms. We had a lovely room on the 4th floor overlooking the sea, it was lovely to lie in bed and see the sea right in front of us. The room was clean but somewhat outdate, there was only one double socket in the room where the tv and fridge were plugged in, luckily we brought an adapter so were able to use that to charge our phones one at a time. We tried to switch the table lamp on only to find the the lead lead to nowhere as there was no socket so I guess it was just for show! Now where do I start with the food! It was the worst food I had ever had in any hotel I have stayed in. It was repetitive, bland and of poor quality. There was little choice at dinner time and no drinks were included with your meal. The breakfast was a little better with a choice of warm breakfast and continental. We ended up eating out or getting a takeaway pizza as we could not stomach the food. The hotel is situated in front of a lovely cove, Plenty of sunbeds, we never had a problem getting one. A nice quiet location and a short bus ride into Salou town Centre if you fancied somewhere a bit more livelier I would advise not to stay half board as you would be wasting your money but the sea view room and location made up for the lack of decent food. Lots of Spanish holiday makers in the hotel. No entertainment whatsoever around the pool. The bar was a bit dull for me, felt like I was in a old peoples home. I would not stay here again, but if you are looking for somewhere quiet to stay then this would be for you!

The food was very substandard. Not once did we manage to have hot food. There was a diabetic table which my husband saw the staff taking normal deserts (full sugar) and putting them on the diabetic table as they had run out and it didn't really matter! The whole fruit in the morning was bad, mouldy, scabby and rotten at the core. Not nice getting a mouthful. After two evening meals we ended up eating out. In the bar I returned a glass as it had lipstick on it and the second glass was thick with dust - the set off a full Basil Faulty moment with the barman making sure the whole bar knew he was washing a glass for the fussy woman. The rooms have no drawers at all - so no where to put underwear ect away. Everything just has to be left out. The hanging space has no doors and is not tall enough to hang knee length dresses or skirts . The walls are so thin you can hear all conversations in the next room. I will say that the pool area is kept pristine and the pool bar staff where friendly and helpful.

When we first arrived we had a tiny room with a view of a wall, room was lovely and modern but you could hardly walk around the room it was that small, it wasnt suitable for 3, complained and was upgraded to a bigger room with a sea view, exactly the right size for us. They're was sand in the bed so I wondered if they even changed the sheets after the last person. Food was basic, my kids wouldn't eat it, most days we ate out, I wouldn't do half board again here. Pool bar didn't have much, pizza wasn't available for most of our stay, mostly ham and cheese toasties and the bar men who make them don't wash their hands or wear gloves when preparing food, was surprised due to them holding money and doing bar duties. Pool didn't open until 10am, 2 life gards job shared, one allowed floaties in the pool the other didn't, personally I don't like the big floaties in the pool as they can be dangerous and block our view from our kids, Someone in a floatie actually went over my child and pushed them under. We didn't spend to much time here, we mostly used the hotel to sleep and wash, all around we enjoyed the experience, nice location, staff were nice, you pay for what you get I suppose. ☆☆☆

Certainly this is not a 4* hotel, I’d say 3* star at its best. Pictures shows it all. The hotel website shows different pictures of the standard room than what you can get. When asked the blond guy at the reception about the reason behind this - I have been told that this is 4* hotel but not every room is 4*. If you’ll get a room in -1 level, then you’re doomed. It’s old-fashioned, dirty and smelly room with the 50 years old furniture and appliance that does not work. You’ll have only one socket available, so either you or your companion will be able to charge the phone in the night. Not to mention that there are no electric sockets in the bathroom. The air con noise level comes to 60 dbs according to Apple Watch, so forget about good night sleep. It took us a day and request the attendance of the hotel manager for the reception to give us the room advertised on the hotel website. It’s wort to mention the food, because you might consider half board or full board as a package. Forget about it, it’s not worth it at all. The quality of the ingredients is very poor and the meals are tasteless - multiple times i seen people just going day by day on salad and olives or going to the restaurant down the road to eat something that has taste. You won’t be able to bring your own water to the restaurant. You need to pay €3 per for a bottle of water so you can digest this ****. If you think of wine - get prepared to pay €12 for a bottle, because the hotel is not serving wine per glass. That’s probably because no one would ever get another one - it’s cheap and tasteless. I seen the local store is selling the same wine for €4.75. Overall, the hotel location is great, but I wouldn’t recommend staying there because you might end up with having the similar experience to me, my wife and other people we’ve met there who said - never again!

We recently stayed in Hotel Cala Font with 4 friends and 2 children under 3, from the onset it is a beautiful looking hotel. Decor is dated yet modern but most of all, clean. We had a stunning sea view which was unexpected and rooms are spacious. Cala Font beach is on your door step down a hill, very convenient if you decide not to lounge around pool area. The hotel is set on a hill which transferring your luggage is very difficult if you a pram, eldery or a disability. The pavement also can be slippery if your not wearing the correct footwear you could slip very easily. Due to having 7 luggage bags we needed help carrying our bags down the hill, we were disappointed in the fact we had to collect a luggage trolley and carefully push it down the hill which we did not enjoy!! On departure we thought we would ask reception in advance to help us up the hill which the lady on reception advised we can call a taxi to take us 20 metres up the hill!! OR carry them ourselves due to herself being on her own at that time of day, when checking out of the hotel to carry 7 luggage and 2 prams, 2 men on reception presented theirselves which showed she lied and it was a inconvience to the hotel!!!! At Meal times there is a good choice, it is mostly the same every day. You have to pay for your drinks at the desk before you leave, staff are friendly and helpful in the bar and food areas. Unfortunately I would not recommend this hotel unless you are single/couple without any mobility issues.

Me and my partner stayed at the Hotel Cala Font over the end of September into October as our first abroad romantic holiday. We had a great time! We stayed in a room with a balcony and beach and pool view. The room was lovely with a massive bed, which was really comfy and had excellent pillows for my liking. All was lovely and clean and had all the amenities that we needed except an iron and kettle(which wasn't a big deal and just the English gal inside me wanting a brew). The room had a really good AC system which meant that we never felt too hot to sleep and had it just as we liked it. We enjoyed several evenings sat out on the balcony where there was 2 seats and a little table which was perfect for to watch the sun coming up or coming down over the beach. We stayed at the hotel half board which meant that we paid for breakfast and either lunch or dinner as part of the overall price. We did find that the process with this was slightly confusing but this may have been that we were rookies when it comes to abroad holidays. Once we asked at reception, where all the staff are very helpful, we were talked through how this works. Breakfast, lunch and dinner are all Buffett style and the food was ok. We weren't overly blown away by the quality, although we were never expecting the best food anyway with the scale of food which has to be made even when it is quieter. They did have a good variety of food available to cater for everyone and was good to sample some different foods which I wouldn't usually go for. The pool and pool bar with access directly to the Cala Font beach was great and so relaxing and definitely one of the favourite parts of staying at the hotel. It was great to spend the day here before going for dinner and then enjoy the evening entertainment in the bar starting at 10pm. Overall, the Cala Font hotel was a great stay, all the staff were lovely and spoke great English, everywhere was clean and tidy and the atmosphere was the perfect combination of relaxing and fun. It is in a great location with access to several bus routes and not far away from Salou, Porta Aventura Theme Park, and Tarragona. Probably many other places which we didn't have time to explore. I would definitely recommend staying here if you are looking for a relaxing and explorative holiday. Salou itself is great if you're looking for a party destination as it is mostly filled with bars and lots of hotels, we didn't spend much time here but the beach was nice but busy. We loved to travel to Tarragona, which a beautiful port town with a lovely views out over the sea, cathedral and many more wonderful things worth seeing. We also visited Port Aventura and Ferrari Land over 2 days which was great fun if theme parks are your jam, although we were slightly disappointed that not everything was open in regards to the entertainment shows and variety of food. Although as we visited at the end of September maybe this is to be expected although if this is something that you definitely wouldn't want to miss out on book to go earlier on in the season. We visited the Bus Plana shop around the corner from the hotel where we were able to get a travel card with 20 trips on, this is great value for money and means that you can get on any Bus Plana bus for less than 80 cents! Our holiday all in all was great and was so easy and relaxing and we had a great time!

Hotel was lovely when entering but rooms were outdated food was really disgusting not a lot of variety I woke up everyday with several bites all over my legs and they didn't have enough clean towels when cleaning rooms and then handed my mum someone else's dirty marked towel from their room several time they gave her dirty towels . Rooms weren't cleaned properly when we first arrived there were hairs and fluff and dust around the rooms . Ther was cockroaches running about one morning in the resturante at breakfast time which put us off eating any food , one evening chicken was red inside and not cooked properly overall it wasn't the best and I definitely would not return . Staff are OK and hotel is situated near a lovely wee beach but other than that it's terrible
