I've just returned from a holiday in Salou with my daughter & two grandchildren aged 5 & 7
The food wasn't bad but very bland, chips every night & hardly any local dishes.
I asked for a quiet room which was still opposite three bars & a nightclub, the noise was deafening we didn't get to sleep until between 4 & 6 each morning
The beds were made each day, you had to ask each time you wanted clean towels but the rooms were not cleaned & by the end of our stay we had cobwebs hanging from the ceiling & an inch of dust on our dressing table.
They had a kids disco each night from 9 till 9.25 which the children enjoyed & then very third rate acts to entertain us every other night for about 30 to 45 minutes in between times you had to put up with CD's of Glen Miller & Bill Haley
To top things off on the last Friday of our holiday one of the other guest noticed a couple who none of us had seen before & that were not guest at the hotel acting very suspiciously.
On further inspection someone noticed they were taking photographs of the children from under the table.
When approach the woman ran away but the man was restrained by guests.
He explained he was taking photos of little blonde girls as they reminded him of his grand daughter, the police were called & they asked the woman to return with the camera.
Two hours later she returned with no photos of children on her camera saying we were all stupid idoits
We all asked the following questions,
Why run in the first place?
Why take two hours to return?
Why did her partner admit to photographing children?
The police said they had no evidence so they couldn't act, she walked away laughing & blowing kisses to the worried parents
In short if you only need a couple of hours sleep each night, would like to each chips every day of two weeks & don't mind having your children photographed by total strangers then the Los Angeles in the one for you
