Big Ben´s, Salou

Advantages: Excellent value for money, brilliant location & good sized rooms
Disadvantages: Maids didnt change beds & didnt see them clean pool

...I went on 4 holidays last year so I thought I would give it a miss this year & try & save my money. However when your boyfriend turns round & tells you he is going to Malia for 2 weeks it changes your mind big time! THE SPECIFICATION Ok so now it is hotting up everyone is looking to get a good cheap deal abroad. They don't care where it is as long as it is cheap. In my case it was very different. Even though I am only 20 I have travelled to many different places & have extensive knowledge on mainland Spain. I know that if you are looking for a cheap deal you are more than likely going to end up in a 1 or 2 star hotel in a very central location (in other words above or across the road from a loud nightclub) for a price that is not cheap but sound like a good deal. Working in the travel trade helps a lot & even though I am... Read review

Advantages: Clean, Cheap, Cheerful
Disadvantages: A big, busy resort

...all came home with very bad colds. The only complaint we did have with the apartment was the lack of toilet paper! The room did have a bidet but well, we don't use one!! We had to keep asking for more toilet paper as we kept running out, it was like they rationed it as they were very reluctant to give you anymore. If there was even 1 square left on the roll the cleaner wouldn't give you another one! so we started to hide it. In the resort there is the main beach which is very big.

Advantages: Lovely Country
Disadvantages: Nothing much to do unless you have children

...It is the first time I have been to Salou and I enjoyed myself, we came here for our honeymoon, as we always get bored on holiday we wanted to go somewhere with something to do, and as Salou has the big adventure park Portaventura we thought it would be perfect. It is cheaper to buy your tickets in spain as it is much cheaper than the travel agents, as far as I can remember the tickets over here are £30 and in Spain it is about £17 for a two day pass. I would advise to get a one day ticket as when you go to the park you can pay £8 extra as you leave for another day there, I wish we had done that as we didi not really like it, it is more for people with children. The hotel we stayed in was lovely and there was plenty to do. The only thing I did not like was the price of drinks and the fact that the nightclubs were empty till about 1... Read review
