Advantages: Very friendly and helpful staff Lovely pools Disadvantages: food a bit naff..Room too small ..Lots of noisy Spanish people,
...We stayed at the CalypsoHotel in Salou for a 7night trip. On our arrival (10pm) we were politely dealt with by the reception staff. We were put on the top floor of the older building (This was OK for myself and my husband and 12 month old baba , but I wouldn't want to stay on this floor with young children. The lifts were good, and they always worked, and even though they only held 4 people, we didn't have to wait long.
Our room was way too small really, and it had very dated furniture and an uncomfortable bed. We had lots of storage space for clothes etc. This room slept 4, but I wouldn't want to stay in it with any more than 2 people.
The bathroom was brilliant, and it was very very clean. The shower was excellent, and we were supplied with clean towels and toilet rolls every day. I wish I could have a shower as powerful...

...for excursions when alot cheaper to do it yourself like we did. Barcelona is only 11 euros on train but station is otherside of Salou from this hotel. Supermarket round the corner is very cheap for basics we bought booze and sat on our balcony as 2 lite of coke for 1.73 euros and 1 litr bacardi was only 6 euros. Snacks by the pool are reasonably priced. Hotel is very very clean and tidy, maid service very good. Beds are just fold up camp beds which makelot of noise (if you know what I mean) no good if kids sharing ur room they\'ll wake up ours were in rooom next door and still woke up. For a cheap bargain would stay again we paid £616 for week HB for 2 adults and 2 children....

Advantages: Plenty to do in the hotel Disadvantages: Nearest beach about a mile away
...of dedicated and friendly players, with additional items from touring dancers and musicians. There are also three bars to choose from, the Garden bar being the last to close at 2a.m..
Personally, I found the pool a little on the small side, considering how far the beach was. Nearest one was about a mile from the hotel over a hilly road, something to consider if any of your party have walking difficulties (we managed to borrow a wheelchair from the hotel for one of our party).
Shops and bars are within easy walking distance, and we found the nearest minimarket just around the corner, was one of the cheapest for our requirements.
All in all, a very good holiday in a very clean, friendly hotel. I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel, but moreso to families with young children, as they are very well looked after and encouraged to join...
