We were a party of 9 - 2 families with children ranging from 11 to 15 - and we all had a great time during our one week stay at Blaumar.
It is very well situated - separated from the main road which runs alongside the beach promenade by a small Square which means there is no problems with traffic noise.
The Hotel itself is very clean and the staff polite and pleasant. The food is good with a great selection particularly for Dinner in evening (7pm - 10pm). Facilities in Hotel include a games area for kids (pool table etc), a Computer Games Room also for kids and an indoor bar/lounge area where the evening entertainment was held.
We stayed in the Apartment block in a separate building adjacent to Hotel and our room was spacious and overlooked pool area.
Only small negative points were the evening entertainment which was "sparse" - we only saw a couple of professional shows although there was a Mini Disco every evening and the water in the pool being very cold! Kids did manage in a few days but they had to be brave! These -ves didn't spoil our stay though as the weather was actually better than we had expected and we were pleasantly surprised by number of other Scottish guests in Hotel - the power of Trip Advisor?
The end of Salou where the Hotel is situated is very pleasant - not downmarket at all! The promenade is the best I've seen with fountains aplenty and more importantly for our group a 5-a-side football pitch which was extremely well used by our boys!
We spent 3 days at Port Aventura (great particularly during week when queues were minimal) and visited Barcelona by train (1.5 hours journey) on another day.
Overall a fantastic holiday and I would have no hesitation in recommending the Blaumar to other families.

The Occidental Blau Mar Hotel is situated in the residential area of Salou, opposite the harbour. It is perfectly located as it right on the beach but is in a quiter area of Salou and yet is within 5 minute walk of the main shops/bars etc.
The hotel guests were mainly Spanish and German.
We booked a family room with Alpha Rooms which was ideal. We had a bedroom with 2 single beds and a pull-out bed, a separate living room with a pull-out double bed and a small kitchen which was handy for storing drinks and preparing snacks. Our room was situated in the annex(Las Acasias) next to the hotel. We had a balcony with a side view of the beach.
We were half board and our only moan was that the cooked breakfast was only ever lukewarm. The evening meal was buffet style with plenty of choice and piping hot! There was even a separate section catering for children. The restaurant and reception staff were all pleasnt and spoke good English.
The hotel usually had a children's disco at 9.30pm with a cabaret or show for adults at 10.30pm. There was a Mini Club for children upto 4 yrs old from 11am-1pm and 3pm-5pm which consisted of games, drawing and crafts by the poolside. There was a "childrens zone" by the pool with a shaded play area, slide and wendy house with no sun-beds allowed in that area.
The pool had 2 lifeguards on duty and reserving sun-beds was not allowed - there were plenty anyway. There was also a Maxi Club for children up to 8 yrs and also a Teens Club which organised various poolside games. There is a games room with several Games Cube machines which were provided free of charge.
The hotel has a cafe on the front of hotel and a pool bar as well. There is also an A La Carte restaurant but we never tried it.
