Hi has anyone stayed at the Avenida lately? If so could you tell me what their draught beer is plz . When we stayed there it was 2005 and they served san miguel but when we went to Salou a couple of yrs ago we decided to pay them a visit and they had changed it (cant remember what it was) but it was terrible! The other half only took a mouthful and said lets go. I am researching lots of hotels but keeping the Avenida in mind as sometimes its better the devil you know and all that jazz lol. Its just the draught thats stopping us as we enjoy a drinky in the evening. I was going to book the Dorada Palace as the hotel looked nice but 80% of the reviews about the staff being rude and the deposits and extra's put me off. Thanks in advance for replies

Hello All.
Has anybody been to this hotel and if so whats it like?? thanks x

Hi Hel 'n' Ali
We have been to the Avenida but i must admit it was 2005, maybe more. We really enjoyed our stay here but i would say try to get a pool view as we were roadside and it didnt get the sun and was noisy. We were SC and there were 5 of us so we had a 2 bed apartment, I am not sure but i think all the 2 beds are roadside. As i said we were SC and we used to eat in a place called the boathouse, if you come out the hotel and turn left walk for about 5 mins and you will come right to it. Lovely food and really nice people. We went not last year but the yr before too and the lady who served us every day she is lovely and great with the kids, Her name was Anna. Also from the Avenida you are a short taxi ride away from Port Adventura which is a brilliant day out. We always get our tickets here as its better value for money, we got 14 days for the price of 3. I am sure there will be someone on here who can help you more than i can as they will have been more recently.

Have a lovely holiday

hi there,

I have stayed in this hotel approx 3 years ago on half board basis......Normally with half board elsewhere it would have just been a room with bathroom, but on this occassion in this hotel it was a small appartment type............food good, hotel good staff freindly. we didnt stay around the hotel in the evenings as the entertainment / dancing facility wasnt really suitable for us............Found other hotels near by in stead.
yes we too got a main road room, which to be honest was a firts for us , as its usually been pool view types..............on this one occassion we didnt mind.............it was different than the norm for us. various bus routes are close by...................in closing i would direct you to read the thread here marked " cheap bus travel " enjoy your holiday
