Hi what about the all inclusive villamarina don't know what the prices are but i hear it's quite good

We have reviews for the Villamarina HERE.

We went to the Villa Marina last year and didnt really rate it - although we did go 'factory fortnight' - I would say it is better for families than a young couple.

Hi would agree with Dawn we were there the same week (Hi Dawn how are you doing? let me know what the Lagomonte is like this year as we couldnt get it.) we found the hotel great for families (the kids have talked us into going back there this year) but it is a long way out from the main nightlife areas in Salou and is set more in the spanish end with lots of Tapas bars in the area. We found this great but if clubbing is more your scene then give it a miss

Have a great time wherever you go Salou is a great resort for everyone.

Hi Rob - we meet again!! Will keep you informed with Lagomonte - let me know if the villa marina improves this year as would like to go back to Salou again when the youngest is older as he didnt get on too many rides at Port Aventura last year! Are you going the same weeks? Im sure Villa Marina would of been more enjoyable at a quieter period!

Hi Dawn,

No we are going a a couple of weeks earlier this time, the first week last year was 19 July (I Think) and it was ok but second week was far to busy which caused a lot of the problems. The kids have twisted my arm to take them back, my eldest will be 8 (he had a secret crush on Hazel who is going back this year along with Heather and the Geezer) and the other 6. We really liked the location the food and the kids enjoyed the clubs but the rooms were to small. we are trying to talk them into letting us have an appartment this year as we are meeting our friends from Belgium there this year.

Im told that the hotel will be finishing a refurb before the start of the season so will give you a report on our return

what was the food like at the villamarina? from the reviews it doesn't look all that great!! i have been quoted a good price to go there but not sure if we are going to end up spending more on eating out if the food is not up to much.

It was ok but repeated quite a lot - just looked at last lot of reviews and seems like it went even further down hill and ques for everything were still massive in september!

Hmm think i'll give it a miss as they don't fly on the date i need to go. my other offer was the molinos park hotel but that looks even worse!!

Hmmm,
Dont think it went downhill just that the weather was bad in Oct and that showed up problems with the roof, will have to take my umberella!!!.

Just been looking at other sites reviews of the hotel which were more balanced positive/negative to ours. I think the problem with this hotel is peoples perception of it before they go against the reality. This hotel isnt really for couples (although the size of the rooms suggest it is) if you dont have kids you will think its noisy and overcrowded. If we didnt have kids we probably wouldnt go there but our two loved it, we found the food to be good, better than a lot of other hotels weve been to and the queues with the exception of the last week were reasonable, it is after all a budget all inc and considering what we payed last year good value for money hence us booking it again this year.

Have a great time wherever you go and dont miss Port Aventura.

i wouldnt recommend the costa dorada palace for all incl. food is not that nice. mainly rice pasta fish foods.
