The bar staff were sadly lacking in smiles!


General Comments

The flight to Reus Airport was quick and painless. What a tiny airport considering how busy it is!! We went on a last minute allocation on arrival holiday (we wanted to go to Salou). When we arrived at the airport we were told we had been allocated Estival Park in La Pineda. We were gutted as we had been led to believe that La Pineda had nothing there!! How wrong we were! Salou is a glorified Blackpool, dirty, full of people trying to sell you the same things over and over, and quite frankly boring. La Pineda was much cleaner and more cosmopolitan. The beach was literally a 2 minute walk from the hotel and it was very clean. The hotel itself was kept scrupulously clean day and night. The food was okay - they mainly seemed to be catering for the Russians whilst we were there. The entertainment didn't start until 10pm and finished by 11pm so they could have improved on that. Port Aventurer was only a bus ride away and wow what a fantastic theme park - I can honestly say we only had to wait a maximum of 5 minutes on the rides - and we didn't upgrade our tickets. Aquapolis (a great water park) was located in La Pineda and was also fantastic. We went on an excursion to Barcelona which was great, and a fantastic Reps Night which included as much Sangria and Beer as you could drink (and we did!!). We took our 5 year old daughter who absolutely loved this holiday - and we met some great friends there who we are still in touch with - infact we're going on holiday with them again this year - watch out Dominican Republic!!! All in all this was a fantastic holiday - my only bugbear were the bar staff who I found rude and arrogant!! Would we go again? Most definitely!!!
