We had a fantastic time in Cap Salou, the beach (about 10 minutes on foot) is exactly like the photo. There are also sandy beaches around, and september was the perfect time to holiday there. The apartment is on the second floor of a medium size, enclosed apartment house, not one of those high rises you'll find along the costa dorada, which was perfect for us. It is comfortably decorated, has great beds and is well equipped and since it sits on the hill of Cap Salou the view through the trees across the bay is particularly beautiful in the evening. The train takes about 1 hour 20 to Barcelona, which is fine. All in all it was the perfect spot for us to both relax and also visit Barcelona. I would recommend without any hesitation to anybody who is looking for a place to relax a little off the main road but definitely close enough to participate if wanted. Thank you Carlos.
