Advantages: Award Winning Beaches, plenty of attractions. Disadvantages: None that I have found.
...Pineda is situated on the Costa Dorada not far from Salou but the distance makes all the difference, it was getting to the end of the season and so things were slowing down and it was not the hectic tourist resort I expected. The other thing was it was comical to see the locals all wrapped up in thier winter woolies while we wandered around in short sleeves, night time required a cardigan but no more for us.
The apartments we were staying in were ... ...holiday, the mediteranean was the most beautiful blue and the sound of it rolling in was stress relieving in itself, the whole beach area is kept spotlessly clean and the beach raked over each morning. the walkways on the beach front were swept daily and the people who live there obviously take great pride in thier town. This is a Spanish resort and so I would advise anyone going to learn a little of the the language before they go, it is Catalunyan ...

Advantages: fantastic area of spain Disadvantages: ???? cant think of any
In june this year my boyfriend and i managed to get a last minute holiday to salou. I wasnt sure what to expect, as salou is one of my nans favourite places. However she does visit out of season!!
Well our apartments were in cap salou a small area about 2km along from salou, which i would prefer as salou was so crowded and noisy it was nice to be close enough to travel to salou everyday and evening, but far enough for some peace and quiet.
we stayed ... ...and very good value the entertainment was good everynight. The apts had a 24 hr reception, swimming pool, pool bar, bbq restaurant and inside games room and bar.
Our holiday was only for a week, but there is so much to do in this area of spain. Port Aventura to mention one, the only universal studios in europe and what can i say, it was an amazing day, so good we went back for the next evening as there was different prices it was about £20 for a ...

In June of last year, I went to Spain with my partner. For the both of us it cost us, for a week £385. This was for travel, food and bed. Not bad you say, but keep on reading. We took a coach from London to Dover, then when on the boat to France. We then got back on the coach. All together it took 24 hours. It wasn't so bad going, cause we were really excited. It was the first time I had been to Spain and never knew what to expect.
When we got to ... ...rep to tell us what was going on. Also to welcome us to Spain, No one was there. Only alot of upset people, waiting to get to their rooms. We had to sit for two hours before we could get in. Not only that but the weather wasn't good, which didn't help matters. Infact for four days we had nothing but rain!. When we got our keys, and after resting for awhile we took a look around the place. I have never meet so many money grabing people in my life. ...

Advantages: Sunny, cheap, plenty to do and lovely country Disadvantages: Railways and Yobs
...I have been to the Costa Dorada region, the first time was 10 years ago by coach - what a journey- never again I told myself, 36 hours of hell - but now you can fly. Right which hotel -Hotel Cambrils Princess. I had seen this hotel the last time I went and thought what a lovely hotel it looked but it must be very expensive - it is 4 Stars. I knew that Thompsons used it so I looked in their brochure and found it - only wanted a week to recharge the ... ...so we can sit together - another £ 10 each for a meal on the plane - ah ! the coach is free but it stops at every hotel in Salou before it gets to us. Hmmm ! The total cost in the brochure was £ 936 for a week for 2 people but hang on ! .......if I book on the web I get £ 100 discount - £ 836 for 1 week - halfboard. Ah well I suppose I better look for a cheaper hotel but it did look nice. Wonder if I can book the Hotel direct on the web - it may ...
