PortAventura Hotel Caribe
Five pools and Caribbean theming on-site
About this hotel
PortAventura Hotel Caribe leans into its tropical theming with five pools spread across the property, giving families more room to spread out than a single shared pool typically allows, useful on a busy peak-season afternoon when everyone wants space. Four dining options and three bars mean evenings rarely require leaving the hotel, and free parking removes one more cost from a car-based trip. The property sits close enough to the resort gates that a taxi ride to PortAventura Park or Caribe Aquatic Park stays short, while the smoke-free policy and kid-friendly tag keep the whole stay oriented around families rather than a mixed leisure crowd looking for something else entirely.

Our take
The five pools are the standout here, genuinely useful for a family group splitting between different ages and energy levels across a multi-day stay. It suits families who want resort variety without a beachfront location; if central Salou's dining scene matters more than pool count, look further down this guide instead.
- ✓Ask which of the five pools suits young kids best, since not all are designed the same depth or style.
- ✓Book free parking confirmation in writing if traveling with more than one car for your group.
- ✓Try each of the four dining options across a longer stay rather than settling into one every night.
Why we love it

Why guests love itPortAventura Hotel Caribe suits a family with children of different ages: five pools mean the youngest and the older ones can each find their own water, and four restaurants and three bars cover several evenings without leaving the hotel. The Caribbean theming fits the resort, and free parking and a fitness center complete the picture. The 7.8 score from about 7,500 reviews is fair rather than high, so I would book it for the pools above all.
