...Belvedere Hotel- Salou (Costa Dorada).
We visited this hotel for one week last May 2005, we choose this Hotel and resort because of price(£650 for 2 adults and one child) and within 2 hours of the U.K.
*********************
It is only about half an hour away from the airport and the airport is very small so getting through it is usually pretty quick and easy, unless the baggage handlers are on a go-slow!

Prague is a magnificent fairy tale city which radiates warm earth tones from its breathtaking painted architecture.
