It's not a very big town and every shop sold the same dusty, faded postcards and childrens fishing nets.

My boyfriend and I holidayed to Salou last year with Co-op travel on a last minute deal. We weren't expecting much and the place was quite tacky to be honest. It's not a very big town and every shop sold the same dusty, faded postcards and childrens fishing nets. There was one or two nice bars and restaurants but mainly english grub cafes and several mcdonalds and KFCs. The area was full of spanish teenagers smoking and drinking. The hotel was dirty when we arrived and I turned on the tap to wash my hands and the water that came out was brown, cue lots of screaming and my boyfriend thinking there was a murderer in the bathroom!

He was a big Geordie who provided entertainment most nights (pub quizzes, bingo, a comedian, a magician), and the food was what you would expect really, although apparently the steak and ale pie was pretty good. Despite everything we had a really good time, although have no plans to return any time soon!

We stayed in the Albatros Apartments, which were situated on a bit of a hill about 10 minutes walk from the main strip. We liked the situation of these apartments as Salou is quite a hussley bussely place and quite noisy at night time, but where we were was fairly quiet.
The flight from Glasgow only took 2 1/2 hours and the coach journey from Reus Airport to the Albatros Apartments only took 1/2 hour, so travelling time was great. Check in was also very quick, there were quite a few people who arrived at the same time as us, but there were 4 or 5 receptionists doing check in.
When we booked we probably left it a little late and could only get a studio apartment for the 4 of us so we were a bit concerned about the size. When we ...
