Want to get out into the great outdoors and experience the beautiful wildlife of the area? Why not plan a trip to the nearby parks and reserves. These are great places in which to relax. Inhale the salty air, skim rocks in the shallows and catch some sunshine at nearby the Cala de la Font BeachOpens in a new window and forget your worries back home.

If you fancy working on your swing, take a trip to the Port Aventura Golf Course. This is a great course and a favourite with golfers from around the world. There also no better way to relax while also being active than golf.

Finding your perfect accommodation in Salou is easy. For a warm welcome, a comfortable nights sleep and great location, you'll be hard pressed to find better than Mercure Atenea Aventura, Vila-Seca, the Sol Costa Daurada, and the Hotel PortAventura.

Don't expect to find any decent places to eat, it's all chips burgers and stuff like that. Even though I like junk food, I was glad to get home.

2/5 - Disappointing

I felt Salou was grubby in places. We had a meal and the food was not very good. there was a meal that we disputed to pay for and after leaving the premise were followed by a group of 8 people calling themselves security until we had to pay. not good
