Villamarina Club Salou, Costa Dorada

There is plenty to write home about when you stay at the Villamarina Club in Salou. Firstly, there's the plenitude of onsite facilities and activities for all the family. Secondly, there's the great pool scene. Take your pick from the main pool with its attractive rock and water features; or head to the adultonly rooftop pool and Jacuzzi. The children have their own pintsized pool to splash around in. The beach is just a stroll or shuttle bus ride away for sandcastles and morning dips in the waves.

On top of all this, the generous helping of sports and leisure activities is perfect if you want to up the tempo. There's everything from five asidefootball, water polo and table tennis to cookery demonstrations and cocktail making. Or choose to hire a bike from reception and get out and explore Salou. Great times are also on the cards for the little ones, with a funpacked activity programme, a Playstation zone, play area, kid's club and games room to enjoy. After a busy day, your comfortable guest room or apartment is the ideal spot to chillout. Expect air conditioning, Sky TV and a wellfitted bathroom. Most rooms also come with a terrace or balcony to sit back and enjoy the view.
