The SunClub was very nice and had the added convenience of a supermarket (has most neccessary items) onsite, which we utilised for fresh bread and croissants every morning. Breakfast and all meals could also be purchased in the restaurant area, although we only availed of one meal there on our last morning. It was good value! We always ordered 2 white coffees(every morning) at the bar and took them to our balcony (good size overlooking pool) as accompaniment to the croissants.
Pool area was very nice and clean, but a bit cold due to being in the shade of the hotel for most of the day. There was a lifeguard on duty while the pool was open.
Sleeping was great..no noise hardly after midnight. On the buses, the experience was quite good, although they do tend to go pretty fast and is nearly always somebody on them busking (this did make the journey go quick and was worth 1 euro)
The beach (a cove) was just a short walk down the hill at the CALAFONT which was really nice and safe and the Med waters were fairly clear and warm.

Cambrils is wonderful for shopping, beachfront and eating seafood(a bit pricey though). Boat/catamaran trips leave from here. A day trip to Tarragona (25 min)is well worth it for those into Roman history. Nice also for shopping and relaxing along the tree-lined main street Ramblas Nova leading to the Mediterranean Wall.

Entertainment was great next door at the Mediterranean Village, which lasted till midnight. Local public transport was excellent and got you to everywhere you might wish to visit. Overall, SunClub was very good and so were the Reps.
Advantages: Clean, Cheap, Cheerful Disadvantages: A big, busy resort
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.
The flight from Glasgow only took 2 1/2 hours and the coach journey from Reus Airport to the Albatros Apartments only took 1/2 hour, so travelling time was great. Check in was also very quick, there were quite a few people who arrived at the same time as us, but there were 4 or 5 receptionists doing check in.
When we booked we probably left it a little late and could only get a studio apartment for the 4 of us so we were a bit concerned about the size. When we ...
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 ...
Advantages: Reasonably priced, hot, fun Disadvantages: Becoming quite commercialised
During my gap year before I went to university, I worked for a travel company called Siesta International Holidays. I was one of their reps in Spain and was sent to Camp Sanguli in Salou. I was a little wary at first, mainly because my Spanish isn't very good, but I very quickly fell in love with the place. With a long promenade lined with palm trees and beautiful, long, golden beaches, what wasn't to like?
ACCOMMODATION:
As I previously mentioned, I was a rep on a camp site. This was called Camp Sanguli, situated at the older end of Salou which is a little quieter than the new town. The site itself is large with two supermarkets, two large pools, numerous take-aways, bars and restaurants plus good security. The site itself has numerous areas used specifically by certain companies providing package holidays - for example, Siesta ...
