Hi all, I am off to Salou on the 25th May 2007, Flights are from Gatwick with First choice departing at 6am, and because we live in Portsmouth thats a 1am taxi! We were originally meant to be staying in the Sol Piramide which we went to 3 years ago but we have been moved to Vil.la Romana which is apparently better.

We are very much looking forward to it, does anyone know if the new ride will be open by then? I know it was meant to be opening in May but when does anything happen by the deadline?!

Hi there, does anyone know what its like for mozzy's in salou??
Im slightly lacking in this particular knowledge department...?
Be glad for any advice..beermat your probably the expert around here :lol:
Reply
:D hi dee don't know about being an expert, but i do know the only time i experienced mozzies was on the beach two years ago and wasn't affected by them. never had any bother in hotels with them, but it's handy to have a plug-in just in case.
Reply
Hi Yes I was wondering about mozzies too as we are staying on a camping site and they always seem worse on camp sites? Anyone stayed on a camp site and been bothered by them?
