Port Aventura is a theme park owned by Universal and is located right next to the popular Spanish resort of Salou on the Costa Dorada. It is situated in the new town of Salou and can easily be reached on foot by hotels in this area. Alternatively if your not within walking distance it is only a two minute train journey from Salou's railway station (3 euros). Buses, taxis and road trains also do services which drop you off right outside the main entrance. There are two hotels onsite also owned by Universal which add extra convenience if your really lazy! Local towns such as Tarragona, Cambrils, Cap Salou and La Pineda also offer a bus service ...

In August of this year my hubby and our son (14) and daughter (9) stayed in Salou for 2 weeks. We stayed in the Albatros Apartments, which were situated on a bit of a hill about 10 minutes walk from the main strip. We liked the situation of these apartments as Salou is quite a hussley bussely place and quite noisy at night time, but where we were was fairly quiet.

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 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 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 as ...
