Hi,

I have just booked a 3 night mini-break to Salou from 1st - 4th May to the hotel Golden Avenida Park hotel.

We booked a superior half board room, which cost us £5 PER ROOM PER NIGHT which sleeps upto 4! There's 3 in one room and 2 in another... it cost us £30 for us all for 3 nights half board, i cant believe it!! This was booked on http://www.thomson.co.uk

The flights were Liverpool to Reus and cost £70 each which includes travel insurance so only paid £75 each what a bargain!!

Anway, want to know if anyone else is off there that time of year and for anyone whos been there any info on the nightlife, is there many bars and is it expensive? Many thanks :-) 6weeks 6 days to go

Hi shackyl,
We stayed at this hotel in 2003 but i was under the impression it was a family hotel only and didnt take singles but it must have changed since.
The hotel itself is nice with friendly staff and is kept really clean.
Hope you get a poolside room(we didnt cos we had a two bedded one) and it over looked a busy main road.
If you fancy a break from the hotel food there is a little cafe called the boathouse(out of the hotel walk to your left and down the street its on the right hand side) it has lovely food and the people couldnt do enough for you.
Cant really say much about the nightlife though as we were with our 3 kids,so we didnt do much of that.
I must say though you got a brilliant deal enjoy you break. :wink:

hope this helps.
Kerrie :wave

Avenida Park Salou

Hi everyone

We've booked to go to Golden Avenida in 17 days. Has anyone been recently, that can tell us anything? We have been the last 2 years and hadn't planned to go this year but have decided just to go.

Iseral was there last year and just wondered if anyone knows the entertainment staff this year.

following on from my post, we decided to stay with the Avenida and fly on the 12th Aug for 2 wks, we have requested pool side rooms and I might call the hotel aweek before we go and request this again, as have 3 small kids.....so don't want the noise of the road/bars etc....

see you there!!!

Having had my first poolside view for the first ever year, it was noiser than ever. We've worked out that rooms 22-24 are the best ones to get and the 4th floor or above. The pool views were just a mare with noise until about 12.30am and then again at 4-5am when the clubs kicked out. Hoping the entertainment has improved by the time you go after all the complaints.

The whole hotel are apartments. They are very clean but I did find the pool view very noisy this year. I also found the entertainment staff wouldn't shut up. I was by the pool for 9am until they came in and ruined my peace at 11am. Best time for the theme park is about 3pm. We also had to go SC this year but we bought 4 lots of meals for 288€ It actually worked out cheaper than we have poaid in the past for our meals in britain.

The hotel's e-mail if you want to mail them about a room is avenida@goldenhotels.com

thanks will drop them an email - I speak spainsh so will ask them nicely for the best rooms (going with friends so hoping for rooms together or close)!!!!!

re the theme park - children are 5, 3, and 19mts so with the heat not sure how often we will use it, if at all - do you know how much it is to get i??? and we love Florida (we go most years) so not sure how it will compare!!!

My kids are 6 and 3. There was a ride for us all and the first year we went ds was 20 months and he got on a lot of the rides in China and Polynesia. We often went up after dinner and stayed until about 9pm. At the moment some places are doing 14 day tickets for the price of 3, so it can be more of an investment to buy a 14 day ticket over here compared to a day ticket over there. We did use it a lot and found that there was something for everyone.

We're doing florida next year instead of Salou again lol.

Your 3 and 5 year old will be in the tots club. Your 20 month old can only use the creche at 15€ for a 2-3 hour session. The tots sessions normally ran from 11am-1pm and you could use drop in at 2-4pm where anyone can go and the evening club was 8-10pm for 3€ per child. Chris and his team were fantastic. Chris was there last year and is a great childcarer and the girls working with him this year were really good. Liann was one of the best if she is still there.
You'll need to go to the welcome meeting and fill out the forms for them to go.

yes but take your own tablets as the machine's pretty crap without it. I just take tesco's own liquid tabs. You buy the tokens at reception. Boris, INgrid, Maggie and Crystal are just the best.
