PortAventura Hotel Gold River - Includes unlimited access to PortAventura Park & 1 day access to Ferrari Land

8/10 Good
"We had a fantastic 3-night stay at PortAventura Hotel Gold River as a family of four, with our two children aged 10 and 12. The hotel was excellent and the Wild West theme made the whole experience feel like part of the adventure. Our room was comfortable, clean and spacious enough for all four of us, and the location within the resort was brilliant. The biggest bonus was the unlimited access to PortAventura Park, which made it so easy to come and go without having to worry about tickets. Having a full day included at Ferrari Land was also a real highlight, and the kids absolutely loved it. There was plenty to keep everyone entertained, with fantastic rides, shows and attractions for both children and adults. We particularly enjoyed being able to walk straight from the hotel into the park and make the most of our time there. Overall, it was a brilliant family break. The combination of a great hotel, excellent park access and Ferrari Land made it really good value and took away much of the hassle of organising everything separately. We would definitely stay at Hotel Gold River again and would highly recommend it to families looking for a fun-filled PortAventura getaway."

Hotel Best Negresco

Hotel Best Negresco

10/10 Excellent
"Definitely get the sea view room. Location is everything with this place. We went for the eclipse and as an older couple we enjoyed a relaxing day at the pool. It was not the kind of place we normally go. It is perfect for families and it was nice to see people having fun without screens. The staff was helpful but not intrusive. Appreciated that they were on top of keeping the floors dry with everyone dripping water. The place is a bit dated but it had a charm to it. The pool is the main feature and it was kind of nice that they close it early so you can enjoy the peaceful sea views in the evening. Elevators were a complaint for some but we were on the 3rd floor and didnt mind walking down. The other issue is the parking but we totally lucked out getting there early to get a spot near the hotel. We just kept up on paying the meter every 4 hours until the evening when parking was free."

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Tarragona

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most budget-friendly months to visit Tarragona are January, February, and October, as hotel prices tend to be lower during this period. To fully appreciate the city's rich history and cultural attractions, a stay of at least 4 to 5 days is recommended. This duration allows for ample time to explore significant landmarks, ancient ruins, archaeological sites, and enjoy sightseeing activities, all while taking advantage of the affordable offerings that Tarragona has to present. With the potential for prices to drop during these months, it's a great opportunity for those travelling on a budget to make the most of their experience.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover enticing last-minute deals to Tarragona, visit the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute DealsOpens in a new window sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted hotel rates as your travel date approaches. Additionally, consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to stay updated on flash sales and special promotions, ensuring you don’t miss potential savings. The Smart ShoppingOpens in a new window feature available through the app allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, helping you make an informed decision. With these tools, you're more likely to see price drops or availability changes, making it easier to book a spontaneous getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate depending on various factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Therefore, having some flexibility with your travel dates may help you find a better deal for your stay in a hotel in Tarragona. For those seeking a distinctive experience, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised touch and may offer better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we will inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price appears to be on the higher side, we may suggest alternative dates that could lead to more affordable options.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive, but thanks to Tarragona's excellent public transport links, you may discover more affordable independent hotels a bit further out that are still well connected. For those keen to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often great value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
