does any one know of any hotels near the festival village in cap salou ,as i have a week there in august but need to add on another 3 days because of flights but festival cant accomodate us for 10 nights ,so need somewhere else for 3 nights, any help would be much appreciated

Hi there, I stayed in Festival village a couple of weeks ago with my husband. & we booked through Roomsnet. I had a look through them for your dates but they've got no availability for then anywhere in Cap Salou. Your best bet may be to look for an apartment in Salou itself (Cap Salou is a couple of miles away )
The least expensive there was around £750 for 2 adults & 3 children self catering in a 2 bedroom apartment.
Hope this helps.

thanks a lot rehab what did you think of the festival and do you know how much it was to upgrade to all inclusive?

Hi Crazycat,
Festival Village was fine, very clean, basic ( like all apartment hotels ) We found the hotel staff very friendly & helpful. The shop in the hotel is way too expensive. Is anyone that desperate for a tin of beans & sausages that they'd pay nearly £4 for it???? There's a MichaelAngelo (Spanish) supermarket only a few minutes walk away & it's got a good range very reasonably priced. My husband reeled back in one day after seeing a loaf of bread in one of the English shops for 7 euros!!
I think the upgrades are around 100 euros for all-inclusive. We cooked our own meals or ate out because we didn't think there was much of a variety on the menu.
Everyone's taste differs but we didn't think the evening entertainment was that good. There was a knife throwning act one night that was very good, but the other one we stayed for wasn't & all the rest that were advertised were the same basically, mediocre singers billed as "Britney" or "Beonce" who sang a few of their hits with a few of what the stars' famous friends sing thrown in.
It was our first time staying in cap Salou rather than Salou (which is about 2 miles away) & we wouldn't be keen to go again, unless we got another bargain on the price. It was under 170 euros for an apartment for 2 weeks, but we went into Salou most of the time to eat & for nights out so we'd buses & taxis to pay.

hi raych just to let you know heard from festival and ou have to book through thomsons. bummer e ah

hiya crazycaz did u book flights with ryanair from east mids cos they have all gone for them dates now only 19th to 26th aug left cant find a hotel to match dates

no we booked from london and glad we did cause they seem to be going up every day

Hi there,we booked f/village a couple of weeks ago but didnt know at the time that it was 2 miles away from Salou.Are there any resterants and shops there?how much will it cost us for a taxi into salou or is there a regular bus service also we are a bit worried about what kind of weather to expect as we are going on 9th/23rd oct will it still be warm enough for sun bathing and pool.sorry to ask so many questions at once we are new to Salou.Thank for any replies Avril

Hello everyone I am going to Salou on August 10th and we are staying in the Festival Village all inclusive .Now I have read some great reviews about this place and it is a sister hotel to the Villa Marina in Salou and we had a excellent holiday when we stayed there.
I am just wondering do they have a train that brings you to the beach as I am sure I read it somewhere but I can't find it now.Also I have started to read the latest reviews and they are great for children's entertainment but now there has been thieving reported and it has been blamed on the cleaning maids.Now in fairness to the hotel this has only been brought to light in the last week and the management have not had a chance to get to the bottom of this yet so I am hoping they catch the person responsible soon as if is only a matter of finding out which rooms were cleaned and then narrow it down to the cleaner in the day.I always get a safe when I go on holidays and I bring my bank cards and use the atm when I want money.But you cant put your clothes and aftershave /perfume in the safe.
I would be interested in hearing from anyone who has stayed there and you can pm me if you like as well please.
when I booked this hotel I done it myself through the internet and after booking this the next day I get a phone call from the manageress thanking me and asking me was there anything I like to request that she would try and do . In all my years of booking my holidays I never had this and I thought it was nice .

Sorry for the long write up........
Hopefully I will be writhing a longer one when I come home and I will be raving about the place
EDIT ..The hotel is under new management since last year as well and I am travelling with my wife and two girls aged 12 and 9

hi just wondering after reading the thread how you all got on at festival village ?
also i was trying to book on rooms.net but cant get any thing who did you all book with?

thanks

I booked direct with the hotel at w w w .festival salou . c o m .I found it the cheapest and if you book for 7 or more days you get free transfer from the airport

Tomnkat
A travel agents in Leyland that I deliver to is advertising Festival Park on Their website
Don't think you can book online, but they have a freephone booking number might be worth a call for prices (ATOL & ABTA bonded etc)
PS Tell them their postman recommended them to you!! A good number of friends have used them and found them to be reasonable on price

Hi am thinking of booking this place tomorrow. Excellent reviews for 2010 from Watchdog etc (no hotel reviews on my fave site though for 2010 )
If the same place 'Festival Village' Cap Salou, Costa Dorada.
Feedback please
Thanks
