Festival Village

We booked for 4 nights as part of a suprise 18th birthday trip for my son, Festival village is hotel with some positives and negatives but it's good value for money. The positives The room. We had a 1 bedroom apartment which was very spacious, clean and had a good view from the balcony. The entertainment. We didn't take part in the daytime entertainment but we found the evening entertainment program really good. A quiz, bingo, and outside entertainment as well as adult game shows. The entertainment staff are a credit to the hotel. The food. We are used to 4 star hotels which have a lot more variety than the Festival village all inclusive but what they did have was of good quality and we always found something to eat. The negatives The restaurant. Although the food was good the restaurant is far to small for the size of hotel which lead to long ques of people waiting for tables. The drinks. Everything is in plastic cups! Even beer or wine! And the spirit choice was limited. The location. It's quite isolated! The hotel says Salou but it isn't really! It is a good 15 minutes walk away from the nearest beach in La Pineda and a lot further into Salou although they do provide a free shuttle bus. The pool. The pool is so much smaller than it looks in the hotels pics and it was like getting into an ice bath! Me and my son usually spend hours in the pool but it was far to cold although I expect it is warmer in the summer months. The guests. There were a lot of decent guests but there were also some undesirable guests who were very anti social. If you are on a budget this isn't a bad hotel and we enjoyed our stay.

Been back from this hotel 3 weeks nearly and I miss it my kids loved it didnt want to come home the food wow i ate well in the 7 days i was there so did my kids i gained 4lbs Haha couldn't fault the food or snacks Entertainment good but some nights not brilliant erica on reception is very helpful kind and smiley they all are friendly if I'm honest diner room staff clean tables in no time hardly any waiting on food or tables The shuttle man what a lovley guy very chatty understood alot of English Only thing that bothered me was not alot within walkin distance it's either bus or taxi or the shuttle they provide but not enough drop off and pick up times That is the only criticism just not bein close to town transfers Is about 90 mins to 2hrs on coach also I'm going back in may 2020 so I'd say I'd definitely recommend just I'd say dont go in high season as personally I dont think the pool is big enough for lots and lots of guests

This was a last minute cheap deal for us and this accommodation so outstripped our expectation I had to take the time to give it the praise it deserves. The basic layout of our apartment was lovely - entirely suitable and spacious. The staff were lovely and very helpful. But the food was just to die for! Just lovely. The beach (which we loved is a 10 min walk there downhill) and a 20 min walk back. I could pick small faults like the loo seat didn't fit and wobbled but really that would be silly because it was just such amazing value for money and we had a great holiday.
