Hi tattiedigger
I got the train from Barcelona airport to Salou 15 months ago. We had to go into Barcelona central and change. I can't remember how much exactly it was but I don't think I'd do it again even if it was free!!! There was too much pushing, pulling, being hit by handbags, suitcases, arms......for my liking! I had a few bruises on my legs to show for my trying to board the train efforts!
It may have been the time of day, so I don't want to put you off.
When we went last May we flew in to Reus, but my mums friend flew into Barcelona. I booked her a transfer with Resort Hoppa, think it was about £21. She was the only one on the coach on the way to Salou!
Hope this has been some help to you and I haven't totally put you off using Spanish trains! :)
Have a great time.

Thanks Wheatcrunchie, that info really helpful. Will probably end up with resort hoppa or plana bus. Wer'e flying with Globespan, who have their own transfers to hotels booked through them. They won't allow us on this coach as wer'e not booking hotel through them. The transfers they can arrange for us are priced sky high. Sounds like you have much experience in Dorado Area. This is our first time , and we can't make up our mind on accommodation. For this year we would like an aparthotel, but find difficulty getting good info on what is available. Initially, we considered the Playa Margarita, for it's closeness to beach. Then some reviews state that there are steep steps down to the beach and hotel sits on top of hill.
Our latest thought is Voramar near Cambrils, but getting info is not easy. We usually go to Prague or Majorca, and get excellent photos & videos of the resort. Also well balanced reviews, but not so on Costa Dorado. Even tourist board can't be bothered to reply to my emails. Son-in-law suggests tent on beach---I think not. :think

I have just booked my transfers with Touchdown Tours in the end, as they were the same price as the taxis, and they will provide a child seat. In the end with a small kid its better to be organised.

Yes anyone can use the service, you dont need to book. I am a new member so cant post links to the website, but the bus meets all Ryanair flights and goes to La Pineda then Salou then Cambrils and will drop you off at or near your hotel. There is a conductor who will arrange your return pickup at your hotel. The fare is 11.20 euros return per person. Thursday timetable is Stansted - 0945, Dublin - 1340, Luton 1710 and Glasgow Liverpool Stansted 2215

hi there ive read on another post that a taxi is 35-40e for a trip from reus airport to salou

is this right as its only around 5-6 miles away???

its basically the same difference between arriceffe airport and puerto del carmen and all it costs for a taxi is sround 15e

surely for the same mileage it not more than double the price???

can anyone help me with the price or have a link to a website??
