Salou Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

Portaventura pleasure

PortAdventure Theme Park, Salou Highlights - Shambhala Rating 5/5 We spent the day at the theme park, a group of 5 adults and our baby. We over all had a good day, there was so much to do that we could not visit everything. I would recommend coming here, though if possible I would say 2 or 3 days ia best to get the full experience. We missed out on all of the shows and most of the rides, purely because the park is so large you simply can not get around to everything in a day. The rides we went on where good, the best being the Shambhala. As someone who has visited many theme parks and been on many rides, I can say with certainty that the Shambhala is one of the best rides I have been on to date. Alongside the rides, there are many shops, shows and areas to relax, with picturesque waterfalls and features throughout. #portadventura #spaintravel #spain

SexyCat, Salou

SexyCat, Salou Bar and restaraunt based on the front strip of Salou. Here, the food and drinks are reasonably priced, except if you want buy bottles. Jagèr per bottle is around €95 The design is very niche, and the bathroom is even finished to a magnificent standard. The staff were well spoken and respectful. I would visit here again#salon #sexycat #spain Carrer de Bilbao, 8, 43840 Salou, Tarragona

Top notch theme park. Fairly priced and some lovely scenery on show. Some big rides if you're after that adrenaline rush. Suitable for all ages.If you visit once you'll definitely be visiting again! #tripaway #tripaway

Hotel stay in Port Aventura theme park

Port Aventura Hotel Great option to stay if you want to visit Port Aventura amusement park. Staying for the night at the hotel will grant you access to the park on both days, the check-in and the check-out. Rooms are clean and comfortable, for a good rest after spending the day at the park. The swimming pool is also amazing, big and beautiful, it is an adventure in itself. Only issue is the service: you can feel that the staff do their best, however during peak season, they are so busy that for sure you will have to line up in order to get anything done. They are moving ahead and making moves for automatic self-service processes: like self- check out, but still is not enough. You gotta then have some patience and wait until your turn comes. 🏨 Port Aventura Hotel Port Aventura 📍Av. Pere Molas, s/n, 43840 Vila-seca, Tarragona 💶 Avg price: 250€ / night (includes tickets to the park)

Villamarina Club hotel, Salou

3 Star rated hotel Overall this hotel is not bad for a family vacation, though not the best. Food served often is cold, and is much the same on a daily basis. The place as a hole is not designed to hold or entertain its capacity. The queues for a drink are long, as is food. The pool bar opens at 11.30am but during our stay has not opened before 12. For all inclusive, you are very limited. You can only get drinks from the bar served by staff, which are again limited. You can only get fruit juice on a morning with breakfast, for example. Or can only get cocktails, tea/coffee and spirits from the main bar. The quality is not the best either, with run down areas all around. The flooring is damaged across areas such as hall ways, around pool areas and lobbies. The sink in our room was blocked, and the door did not close properly. Our bed sheets were not clean, and the room was dusty in corners on arrival. The lift is hit and miss. The staff however were brilliant and were quick to clear tables, clean areas after use in the main lobby and generally were pleasant. Entertainment every night was pretty decent and did have some great acts, like Queen tribute, burlesque, and magacians.
