Port Aventura is in Spain, it is a theme park that is split into five different themes which are China, Far West, Mediterrania, Mexico and Polynesia. These lands are all decorated alike the country they are named after, the attention paid to the decoration is brilliant and it really gives you that fun theme park feeling.
There is also a water park called the Costa Caribe which has an in and outdoor pool and some really good rides within it, there are different slides and rafting slides and a nice place to relax and catch a tan in this park. The water park is clean and has pleasant caribean surroundings. This park is only open in the summer period of the year, it can be very busy but is a great place to visit when you are visiting Port Aventura.
There are a good selection of rides in the Port Aventura park including the Dragon ...
Advantages: lots to do, lots of water rides Disadvantages: not cheap to get there, not enough white knuckle rides

One of the main reasons this place was chosen was because it been so near a theme park. Port Aventura is run by Universal.
Location

It is really near where I stayed in the centre of Salou so it only took a short walk to get there which made it very convinent. It involves walking along a dual carridgeway and a fwe roundabouts but there is a wide path so it is not dangerous thorugh there are trees in the middle of the paths.
There are a lot of hotels in the area so it makes it great for families who want a beach holiday but also a day or two in a theme park.
If you are really lazy, you can get the train too from the main train station in Salou or use a bus, taxi or road train.
If you live a bit further away in such towns as Cambrils or La Pineda, there ...
Advantages: Convenient location, no fuss, Marriott standards. Disadvantages: It's clearly Marriott's poor relation - but not a major "con"!
I?ve done it yet again! I?ve stayed in Slough. To remind you, Sir john Betjeman wrote:

The bombs have not come, yet. Slough is still standing. And Priceline send me back there time and time again. I accept an element of blame; perhaps I?m growing fond of the place. Perhaps the fact that the ?Legoland? theme park is nearby and that Josh absolutely loves it is a bonus. Whatever! We found ourselves in Slough once again; this time, at the Courtyard by Marriott.
It?s officially rated as a 3 star hotel, and I was not exactly enamoured about the idea of staying there (the Slough issue aside) ? so I?ll try to say exactly why I?m wary of three-star hotels. Hotels tend to be rated on a five star ...
