I've just returned from a break in Salou, Spain and during my stay there visited this theme park. It came highly recommended but did it live up to my high expectations ?

Port Aventura is a theme park owned by Universal and is located right next to the popular Spanish resort of Salou on the Costa Dorada. It is situated in the new town of Salou and can easily be reached on foot by hotels in this area. Alternatively if your not within walking distance it is only a two minute train journey from Salou's railway station (3 euros). Buses, taxis and road trains also do services which drop you off right outside the main entrance. There are two hotels onsite also owned by Universal which add extra convenience if your really lazy! Local towns such as Tarragona, Cambrils, Cap Salou and La Pineda also offer a bus service ...
Advantages: A relaxing place for a few days break Disadvantages: It's much too far away from London
In February I visited Monterey, a beautiful town on the central coast of California about 110 miles south of San Francisco which has become a popular tourist resort.
Why Monterey?
This town is 2-3 hours by road from San Francisco, less from the airport or from San Jose and Silicon Valley, and I think about 6 or 7 hours drive from Los Angeles. Because of its location and attractiveness, it has become a popular choice for conventions, and an event was organised there for readers and writers of mystery and crime fiction called Left Coast Crime over a long weekend in February. Hundreds of us descended on the town for a few days. Mikey and I arrived on Tuesday.
Because of the convention (held at the Doubletree Hotel 5 minutes walk from the centre of town from Thursday afternoon to Sunday lunchtime), spending time with a large gang ...
Advantages: Clean, Cheap, Cheerful Disadvantages: A big, busy resort
In August of this year my hubby and our son (14) and daughter (9) stayed in Salou for 2 weeks. 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 ...
