Los 10 mejores rentales vacacionales de Cambrils

If you are looking at vacation rentals in Cambrils, the first thing you should know is that there are 449 accommodations available, with an average price of 282 euros per night and a minimum of 54 euros. The offer is divided between apartments (369), vacation homes (48), hotels (40), villas (32), aparthotels (5) and the odd private house. With that variety, the choice depends a lot on the area and what you are looking for.

To stay, you have three clear areas. The port and the seafront promenade are the liveliest: restaurants, shops and immediate access to the beach, but also more noise and higher prices. The Ponent area, to the west, is quieter and more family-friendly, with small coves and less crowded promenades; there you will find many apartments with good views. To the east, near Salou, the atmosphere is more touristy and villa-type developments take center stage, ideal if you travel in a group or with children. If you prefer total silence, the interior streets a five-minute walk from the beach lower the price per night quite a bit, although you will have to walk or take a bike.

As for prices, high season (July and August) sends rates soaring: the average price of 282 euros refers to the whole year, but in August you easily exceed 400. If you want a better deal, look at June or September: the weather is still good for swimming and rentals drop between 30 and 40 percent. The months of April, May and October are the cheapest, with offers from 54 euros, but the water will be cooler and some beach bars close.

Getting there is easy: Reus airport is 15 minutes away by car, and Barcelona's is an hour and a quarter away. If you come by train, Cambrils station has connections with Barcelona and Valencia, although you will have to combine with bus or taxi to reach the accommodation. To get around, the most practical option is the car, especially if you stay in a development; but in the center and the port you can walk to almost everything. There is bike rental and a city bus that connects the beaches, although it runs infrequently.

Before booking, check three things. First, the exact location: many listings say "200 meters from the beach" and then there is a slope or a road in between. Second, the cancellation conditions and the deposit payment: some owners require a deposit and return it within 7 days, others within a month. Third, whether the price includes final cleaning, sheets and towels; in Cambrils it is common to charge a supplement of 30 to 60 euros per stay. With that clear, you will be able to choose between examples such as Apartamentos Turísticos Augustus, Somni Cambrils or RELAX i SOL without surprises.
