Calypso Hotel, Salou

We stayed at the Calypso Hotel 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 ...
...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 as that at home. There was also lots of hot water. The balcony was small but adequate, with a table and 2 chairs, and we were overlooking ...

Review of Calypso Hotel, Salou

We had a wonderful and relaxing holiday, and apart from a couple of heavy showers in the evening, the weather was great. The first thing we noticed on our arrival was the cleanliness of the foyer and the smart appearance of the friendly, helpful staff. This was our first time at half board as we usually go self catering, and a pleasant surprise it was to be.

Review of Calypso Hotel, Salou

stayed there in May 07, about 5 minute walk from shopping area, bit of a trek to the beach. Entertainments team friendly but mimed quitelot. Drinks reasonably priced in hotel. 1.50euros for bottle of water with meals which are okay and varied but its cheap to eat out as we did. breakfast was okay apart from hotdogs n not real sausages.. have themed food nites and restaurent staff get dressed up accordingly. Caypso 11 buliding is where they put familes ...
...midnight as we found out as out bedroom was right above it on 1st floor. If put on ground floor Id ask for a move as security on patio doors is a bit naff and chance of burglary (in my opinion). Thomson staff was very friendly in the kids club otherwise rather miserable and not very communicative, did the usual hard sell at welcome meeting for excursions when alot cheaper to do it yourself like we did. Barcelona is only 11 euros on train but station ...
