The first night we arrived there we were given a downstairs room overlooking the pool, it was extremely dark and dingy. The ceiling had black mouldy marks on it, coming down the walls. My child locked himself in the bathroom within 5 minutes, very unchildfriendly. I complained and was handed a key to another room which had only one double bed for 3 of us and the walls were covered in black mildew and no balcony. I soon told them how disgusted I was. I have never had the nerve to complain before but it was the first time I was on holiday with my child and felt I had to. We had to stay in our room that night but was given a better room the next day, much brighter, still a bit shabby but like the Ritz compared to the last one. Can't understand why some people got great rooms and others got dumps.
I paid full price for the holiday, even my child was not free, so to say I was absolutely disappointed with Falcon/First Choice, is an understatement.

Was very happy with the 5 days we were there, great location for the beach just 5 mins walk away. Pool was OK but more for young families, entertainment looked a bit basic but there was a lot of it and it appeared the kids loved it (did not stay at the hotel much during evening or day).
Food I found to be very good, alot of choices which meant something could be found for any taste. The only think I found strange was that you had to pay for water with your dinner! Prices of wine was good, 6 Euro's a bottle and it was OK. Breakfast was OK again many choices.
The rooms were fine, clean and cool, the weather was sooo hot whilst we were there.
Great location, bus stop no more than 5 mins away, Salou 1.45 Euros away and Port Aventura 1.55 Euro's away. Lots of other things to do.
I would go back!
(A safe is provided in the room - you have to ask for the key).
Staff on the desk very helpful, and finally a taxi back to Reus Airport, took about 15 mins and cost 28 Euros (a very good bus service is available about 5 euros per person used from the airport to the hotel, they even dropped us off outside the hotel)

We stayed at the Sol d Or in June 2004 for two weeks. Myself my daughter and her two children. We were given ajoining rooms with a dividing door that unlocked so it was easier to keep an eye on the children rather than each adult having to sleep with one child in seperate rooms. The staff were very friendly and the chambermaids very helpful as we had a few accidents with the children and the cleaners gave us plenty of clean bedding and towels when requested. The food was plentiful catering for all nationalities. English,Irish,Welsh,French, Spanish, German, Belgium and more. We found it difficult to feed the children in the restuarant as the food was rich compaired to the diet in our country my main complaint was not enough vegetables. However the children we able to have hamburgers, chips or hotdogs at the bar if there wasnt anything palatable in the restuarant. The entertainment was appalling the first week we had english entertainers who left after a dispute with the hotel and the spanish took over but it didnt improve. The guest entertainment was good however but this was only two or three times a week and repeated each week.The whole thing comes to a close at midnight.
The hotel caters for large groups of school/college children, we had four different groups in the two weeks we were there. The irish school were a credit to there teachers but the other three schools were a bit noisy and a nuisance at times. We were told that the previous week there had been another shool party there and they caused lots of noise and problems and their teachers could not control them. We had a great fortnight maybe we were the lucky ones? I would recommend this hotel as it is situated in an ideal position but after reading another report on holiday truths about thefts in the rooms (of which we didnt have any)i would be a bit more vigilant.
