Hi porker i too am going there next month 22 june and i too would like to know about all this as well i have read on reviews about having to hire kettle andf toaster but went into thomas cook where i booked my holiday and they said that is all included so not sure what to believe the reviews or the travel agents i also phoned up the hotel and asked about the cost as well here is the prices they told me.
tv 120.00 euros a week
microwave 60.00 euros a week
safety deposit box 21.00 euros a week which is not in your studio but down at front desk.
as for breakage i was told from thomas cook it is 60.00 euros but u get that back at the end of your holiday if there is no breakages.
but i will let you know when i come back if you go befor me can u come back on and let me know please .

Hi Feggy yes i know what you mean about the reviews i have worrying thoughts on this matter as well. I was waiting for a reply from someone else that has been there but still not heard from her so getting a bit worried now as it is only 2wks tomorrow when i head out and i would have liked to know as much as possible as well. But when i get back i will put on a review here and send you a private pm as well if you want. Hope i enjoy myself when i do get there .Tho i am a bit worried about this swine flu as it is right on my door step now just hope none of us come down with it before we head out or our holiday will be ruined as a result of it .speak soon

Just a quick post befor i fly out on mon.
I phoned the hotel up and asked for a few details and for
breakage deposit you have a choice to pay in euro's or english notes
in Euro's is 100 euros breakage deposit
OR
in English is £100 breakage deposit
but you get that back when you leave. My suggestion is in english notes becouse like me if you are flying back home soon after vacating the hotel room then you dont have much time to spend your euros. But if you pay in english notes then at least you have some cash to bring home with you without having to change it back and loosing out on the exchange rate when you get back home.
Hope this helps a few of you's that are going to this hotel in the near futer.

Hello Feggy,

I'm not sure if SharonC will be back on the forums or not :que

She has been online in the forum since her return to add a post to the complaints forum (this was to do with her flight home and not the actual holiday).

She mentions in the post that she had the best 2 weeks ever so hopefully this will reassure you. Unfortuntely she did not get much sympathy from fellow HT members regarding the problems with her journey home and ended her last message with 'I won't bother you again'.

Maybe she will return to the Costa Dorada forum though??

Here is the link to the complaint section, her post is a bit further down the page:-

Cheers
Mark :cheers

am gutted was really looking forward to reading her review of the apartments and also to ask her a few questions about salou its self hopefully sharon will be back but i am glad she seemed to have a great holiday and sounds like she got her deposit back with no problems so thats one less thing for me to worry about pity about the return journey we had a simillar experience at zante airport last year but luckily was only a few kilos still not a nice experience have paid for an extra 5 kilos this year just to be safe 6 weeks on monday to go cant wait :cheers
