Cambrils Park Resort|Cambrils Park Resort

I've given Cambrils 4 stars in memory of the great experiences I've had there when my children were younger. But on this - my third visit - I think I've reached the end of my love affair with Cambrils Park. On the plus side, it is extremely safe for children & this was the reason I loved it when the children were younger. We've always stayed in the Alohas & were lucky other years to have good locations. I found our bungalow depressing this year & it felt like we were in a shanty town. The food remains very poor quality, although they have made efforts to improve it. Cambrils Park is a fabulous location for very young children. And also for those with mobility issues as everything is in such easy reach & the pathways are well maintained & even. The bar is also irritating, but perhaps it is Irish people who are odd; maybe the whole rest of the world stands one behind another in a queue waiting to order a drink. But it alien to me & makes me think the staff wouldn't survive a night in a Dublin pub. Cambrils is great fun. Chocolate is great fun, but can ultimately leave you feeling a bit empty. Maybe it's just time to move on

Our 5th time there and we loved it. Stayed in the new villa bonitas and they were very spacious and perfect. The main dining/bar area has been upgraded since our last stay. It looks well, but not sure it enhances the customer experience. At peak hours of 8:30-10 ish there is quite simply an unacceptable queue for the bar every night. There are loads of Irish people willing to spend money so consider extra staff to manage this period. We heard lots of people complaining and very frustrated over this. In the main sitting area you have to be eating food otherwise you have to sit inside the bar for drinks. Previously this was more open to the outside but now there are glass screens/doors that are closed which means you can’t enjoy the entertainment. Suggest opening more of these screens/doors. I see lots of complaints around the pool with regard to families throwing towels over sunbeds and not turning up for an hour or two later. Please sort this out, the pool area is not that big and the staff member that stops people entering the area can just stay for 30 mins after counsel people on this. There could be some notices put up and a leaflet given out to people when they book in. We were down every morning at 10am and only once did we get a bed beside the pool, as people had thrown towels over them with pegs and were nowhere to be seen until midday. It would be quite easy to try and manage this a little better. These are the only two negatives in what is a wonderful resort that never fails to deliver on a great holiday experience. We will be back.
