Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews

This resort is suited for families and travellers seeking direct access to the seafront promenade. Guests rate it well overall. Key features include five distinct swimming pool areas and comprehensive facilities for disabled guests.

The 30-second verdict
What Guests Loved
- The resort is positioned directly on the Pineda de Mar promenade, allowing guests to reach the Mediterranean shoreline in minutes. This location facilitates easy transitions between the hotel grounds and the public beach facilities.
- With five swimming pools distributed across the grounds, the property offers various aquatic environments for different age groups. The surrounding gardens provide ample space for sun lounging and organized outdoor activities throughout the day.
Things to Consider
- Due to its size and family-oriented amenities, the resort can become quite crowded and lively during the summer months. Travelers seeking a quieter environment may find the common areas and dining halls a bit overwhelming during these periods.
- The interior design of the guest rooms prioritizes function over contemporary style, which some visitors might perceive as overly simple. While the rooms are maintained to a high standard, they lack the modern tech integrations found in newer properties.

What guests say
Reviews from Google“We stayed here with our two kids—one teenager and one seven-year-old—and both of them thoroughly enjoyed the experience. There were plenty of activities to keep children as well as teenagers entertained throughout our stay. The food was excellent, and the buffet spread offered a great variety of delicious options. The evening activities were also well organized and added to the overall experience. Overall, it's a wonderful family holiday destination, especially during the summer. We had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend it to families looking for a fun and relaxing vacation.”
“We had a wonderful stay at the Golden Taurus Aquapark Resort. Everything was spotless and very well organized. The rooms were beautiful, comfortable, and cleaned every day. The large swimming pools were fantastic, and there were always plenty of sunbeds available, so we never had to worry about finding a place to relax. The aquapark was also excellent, with great slides and facilities, and it was very well maintained. The staff were friendly and helpful throughout our stay, but we would especially like to thank Marta at the bar. She made us feel truly welcome from the very first day. She always served our drinks with a warm smile and was incredibly kind and friendly. Her excellent service made our holiday even more enjoyable. We highly recommend this hotel and would happily stay here again!”
“Evening entertainment is absolutely fantastic here. They have multiple bars making it accessible to get a drink all the time. However the queues for some of the bars are very long. Another downside is that the all inclusive ice creams are constantly out of stock to the point that you’re gambling your time for a 50% chance of getting an ice cream. The waterslides are a perfect fit for both thrill seekers and children’s rides, however, the 2 main thrill rides can be very painful on your back. Other than that, the good is good and the room cleaning is fantastic and is a solid holiday.”
“We have just returned from Golden Taurus Park resort in Pineda de Mar, Costa Brava, Spain. We went half board and didn't need all inclusive although they offered it. Rooms were clean spacious and had a TV, tea and coffee, a mini fridge and safe. Rooms were cleaned each day and fresh towels provided. We had a week of excellent buffet breakfast separately prepared labelled food. Gluten free bread cereal and pastries provided for us each day set aside and covered. Many safe cooked breakfast options, fruits, cheeses, meats yogurts, alternative milks and yoghurt and champagne (cava) available each morning, plus gluten free pancakes prepared and cooked separately. Dinner was also varied, safe and delicious with a different meat/fish option, salads, potatoes, chips, fruit, ice cream and desserts. They cooked gluten free pasta Bolognese and carbonara and gluten free pizza separately to order for us. Everything was clearly labelled with all allergens on the buffet too. They were very knowledgeable about preparing gluten free food and avoiding cross contamination. This was our first time being catered for in a hotel abroad and I cannot recommend them enough. We were two adults and a teenager all three are coeliac. Varied entertainment and activity program and lovely pools with lots of areas to relax. Great bars with affordable cocktails and drinks. Very near to lovely blue flag beach too. Can definitely recommend this hotel and would love to return.”
“We spent 8 nights here on the half-board package (room, breakfast, and dinner), and it was a really nice family stay. The hotel is huge but clean, with two pools; a quiet one for just relaxing and a lively main one with water games, competitions, and an Aqua Park with slides for both kids and adults. The rooms are clean everyday and you can leave your towels on the floor if you want them changed. We were lucky that our room was on the 8th floor with a full pool, beach, and mountain view, which looked incredible at night. There’s so much to do here: a playground, tennis, football and basketball courts, yoga classes, kids’ shows, and live performances at night, so nobody in the family was ever bored. One thing to plan around is the pool bed situation; people start reserving spots by 8am at the main pool, so if you’re not out early you’ll struggle to find one, and the entrance to the quiet pool doesn’t even open until 9am. The buffet food was decent overall; w liked the fresh omelettes and sunny side up eggs in the morning, plus the warm and cold veggies, cheeses, and cold cuts, though the desserts weren’t really our thing. Tap and sparkling water are included with meals, but pops and wine are extra. A few small downsides: with only 3 main elevators for a hotel this size, one broke down for a couple of days during our stay and it made getting up to the higher floors a real hassle. Also, if you’re flying in without a beach umbrella, it would be nice if the hotel rented those out the same way they do towels (€10 deposit, refunded when you return them). Location-wise, you’re a quick 15-20 minute walk from two train stations and right by the beach, so getting around is easy. It’s a great pick for families who want a resort where the kids stay entertained and you don’t have to leave for much.”
