Hello

last year we thought we would go somewhere different other than Mallorca and chose Salou - this year we have again booked to go to Mallorca as Salou is lovely, the golden sands are beautiful but we prefer mallorca - this goes for my children as well aged 6 and 15 -

i think its personal choice but wherever you go i am sure you will ahev an amazing time

It is very much down to personal choice. We have been to Salou twice and Majorca more times than I care to remember and Majorca, for us, is the winner. However we do like Port Aventura but have decided that if we ever go back to Salou it would just be for a long weekend to spend at Port Aventura. On our last visit to Salou we thought it looked tired and run down compared to our first visit a few years before and I understand from friends who went last year that this has not improved any.

As has already been said, its personal choice but for me it would be Salou. I like Majorca as well but Salou has more the atmosphere I look for, its not as in your face as Magaluf but not as quiet as somewhere like Puerto Pollensa.

Agreed, some parts of Salou are looking tired, but this is more the northern end of the resort. The central and southern part of the resort are fine so this is the part I go to now, and I find no reason to go to the northern end.

So its Salou for me but if you haven't tried Majorca before then I'd be tempted to say give it a try, its the only way you'll know which you prefer. Salou will still be there next year!!

Just one thing though, Its hard to compare a resort to an entire Island - maybe if you decide what resort in Majorca you are considering it will be easier to do a true comparison.

Have a good holiday :cheers

SALOU :cheers SALOU :) SALOU :)

you definetely made the right decision, i've been to salou for the past 3 years and this year decided for a change and went to sunny beach bulgaria. Even though we enjoyed it, there was very little to do there and Majorca is quite similar nice place but very little to do. hope you have a ball wish i was going to......... :( :cheers

Salou has more to do, Majorca is nice but not as much to entertain you.
