Hotel Villa Dorada

We've just got back from another family holiday at Villa Dorada with my husband and 11 year old year old son. We had a room that was at the front of the hotel, which worked well for us, some noise could be heard from the traffic but relatively quiet. The room was big enough for the three of us, although as the room consists of two double beds pushed together, the room may not be suitable for older children. Our room was cleaned every day and fresh towels daily. Wardrobe space was minimal but we managed. Hotel itself is good, pool area reasonable, there is a little pool which is suitable for younger children and a larger pool. The larger pool was used for some games, which included water polo and a ‘wipe out’ game. Whilst we were there they had a foam party for the children, which they all appeared to enjoy. Also PLEASE be aware the pool area can become quite slippy, so just to remind your little ones not to run. (especially with the foam party!) We were issued with bands for all inclusive with a bar code which was scanned when you ordered a drink or food from the bar, this appeared to work well and you were able to order from the inside bar and outside bar. Snack bar food can be ordered from the outside bar from 10-1pm and then again from 3pm. Bar closes for food at 1pm, but the restaurant is then open. Bar staff are fantastic and very hard working, and tried to ensure you were served as quick as possible Food in the main restaurant was good, a good variety and themed nights. Was greeted by Paco morning and evening with a smile! Different varieties of food was provided and some dietary requirements catered for although limited. Whilst we were there, there was themed evenings which was nice and again staff worked exceptionally hard. In my last review, I wrote about the entertainment team although we miss Kevin, Genis again was fantastic with the support from Axel, they ensured the kids and adults were entertained daily, You are able to participate in water polo, French boules, darts and other activities throughout the day. Evening entertainment starts with the mini disco and games for the children and then a show for the whole family. Genis again welcomed us like we were part of the ohtels family and ensured we had an amazing holiday!! THANK YOU! The beach is not to far from the hotel, about a 5 minute walk which we visited and was able to do a banana boat ride and go on a jet ski- just be warned there are lots of steps down, so climbing back up is a challenge hahaha!! We also went to Costa Caribe water park, Ferrari Land and Port Aventura we bought our tickets online at home before we went which saved up some penny's. Water Park was great fun but get there early as finding a sunbed can be quite tricky, water slides were great and my 11 year old managed to get on all the slides Ferrari Land- be warned you are let in to the park for 10am but not allowed to the rides at 10.30am. Ensure you having your running trainers on and you have warmed up, as at 10.30am it is a sprint to the queue to ride Red Force- BUT it’s well worth the run Port Aventura- Amazing theme park, managed to get on all the rides but did have to purchase fast track tickets. The main rollercoaster rides are fantastic, so worth the queue. We stayed there the whole day, and in the evening stopped to watch the parade and fireworks which again were fantastic Overall we had another great holiday, we met some great people, met up with old friends we have made from previous holidays and my son made some lovely friends, we hope to go back soon. Thanks to all the staff :)

Me and my friend went over to salou and this hotel was very good, we were made feel so comfortable by the animation staff, they are great people and are amazing with the kids, the pool bar staff were so good they made us laugh and they were so energetic, everyone loved them, it was like we had known the staff for years even tho we only met them, i still cant express how good the animation staff were, you have to see it yourself, they made an effort with everyone stayin in the hotel, will definitely be returning to villa dorada in salou.
