It sounds like you had a lovely holiday!!

I'm going to Salou in July with my husband, my 15yr old daughter, his 15yr old daughter and our 6 yr old son. We're actually staying in the PortAventura Hotel as we figure it'll keep all the kids amused and apparently it stays open really late in high season ( The girls will be happy anyway).

I went to Salou 10 yrs ago, just me and my daughter then, and it was a very clean, safe resort. Is it still?

Hi Maryj1

Well to be honest it wasn't cheap!

We booked in January, very little availability even then for when we wanted (school summer hols). We need 2 rooms as the girls are 15 and so too old to share with us, so they're charged as adults, our 6 yr old will share with them. We couldn't get flights from Gatwick so are flying from Stansted (which means an overnight stay there - more money. Although we're using Tesco clubcard vouchers for that and the airport parking).

We could only get 2 weeks by going either just before the start of the school holidays or by returning after terms starts again. As the girls are entering their GCSE yr in Sept we opted for going just before the end of term and they all miss 4 days of school, which of course they're gutted about!!!!

The total cost for 2 rooms, 5 people, half board was scary!! But as we only take my stepdaughter away every 2 yrs and so next time she'll be 17 and may not want to come with us, we figured it might be our last big family holiday so decided to bite the bullet and go for it!! It had better be worth it!!

Juliet,
What a dilema... !!

Wonder if it's any cheaper to book as early as possible?

Still, bet you enjoy it. We go to Salou on monday, and our main reason for choosing Salou is Port Aventure. SO IT HAD BETTER BE GOOD!!

Enjoy your holiday... :wink:
