hi Jo801 we were booked to go to the cala font in august but have since changed it when we found out that dogs were allowed in,i am not an animal lover at all and the thought of a dog using hotel rooms is disgusting,maybe its just me but never mind.We were booked with Thomsons and it did not say anything in the brochure about dogs being allowed in the hotel and when we rang them they confirmed this and waived the admin fee to change hotels if we so wish ,which we did.I found this out after reading a holiday thread about the cala font on http://www.holidays-uncovered.co.uk. Thomsons and other british tour operators should really stipulate wether or not dogs are allowed in the hotels that they publish.Anyway sorry to post this but if i came across dogs in hotel rooms or on balconies i would not be happy especially after spending a lot of money.

Hiya :D

I have just got back from the cala font cap salou-we had a fantastic time!
The hotel was sooo much nicer than I thought-really clean and fantastic location-the little beaches are lovely-just be careful of the slope walking down to them as it is quite a slant....gets you fit though!!!
the food is nice to look at-theres loads of it sometimes not all that nice and not overly warm but on the whole cant complain!!!!
very glad we stayed in cap salou rather than salou-its only a 20 min walk away and easy to get to for nightlife and shops but the beach is very busy so it was nice to go there for entertainment and then go to our beach and chill-very nice and would defo recommend-any questions just ask!!!

Hello to all of you!!

Just paid for our first family holiday abroad (bank balance now looks sorrowful) with Thomson, hubby, two children and me will be staying at the Cala Font Hotel for two weeks from 18th August.

Excited? You bet I am, hubby won't be 'til we're there (typical bloke never gets excited unless watching football) :roll:

Love this forum and the unbiased info sure beats the travel agents glossy brochures blah blah anyday and your posts really do help people decide on future holidays. So glad I read some reviews before booking up otherwise I could've ended up with ants in my bed!!

Any information on the Cala Font Hotel will be very much apprieciated.

Keep up the good work guys!!

Sorry no info on your hotel as we stopped in the Med Village Cap Salou. We much prefered Cap Salou to the main resort of Salou, but you can easily walk to Salou depending on ages of children (mine were 8 and 10)
Beach was nice and not crowded (could not move on Salou beach) a few nice restaurants and pubs, pool tables, bungy trampolines, shops, chemist etc. bus service very good. Have a great time

:D hi halfanangel. i've been to cap salou twice at the med village and the cala font looks a really nice hotel. it is on a road with an incline to be a little steep. but the little beach is just down the road and there is a shop in front of the hotel. down the road there are supermarket and shops kids amusements and the paddock and another pub(name forgotten) the paddock has entertainment which is quite good. there are bus stops and land train just up from the hotel the supermarket at the sunclub hotel is good for essentials. that's at the top of the road too.

thanks for the replies guys

so glad I chose Cap Salou resort now, seems a really nice place to stay even if it seems a little too quiet for some, but I really didn't want to be in a place where all you hear every night is 'En-ger-land'.

I e-mailed the hotel requesting a sea view/ pool view room but no reply, might try again nearer the time.

could anyone recommend a specific room to ask for away from lifts, best view and also what floor is best to be away from noise?

I was also a bit worried about possible noise/mess from dogs before we stayed there at the end of August.

There was a dog in the room opposite us but we never heard it at night and only occasionally when we were returning to our room.

We met a few dogs in the lift so it was clear there were a few staying but they were'nt a problem at all.

We really liked the hotel and our 9 year old son loved the pool and beach, and hanging around with the other kids in the games area.

Hope this helps.

Karen
