Good afternoon. It was the first time in Spain, therefore, when choosing a hotel, I carefully read the reviews on this site, in the end I chose DA VINCI ROYAL (APT) 3 *, after reading the review rsvvvvvvvvvvvvv and did not regret it at all! Rested together with a young man from 14.08 to 24.08. 2011 and were very pleased!
We went from the travel agency CORAL TRAVEL, the hotel guide TUI - no complaints about the transfer, accommodation - no.
The hotel is located in the center of Salou, the beach is 150 meters maximum, sunbeds were taken on the beach for 4 euros, but in principle there was enough space for those who lay on a towel or special chairs, like folding beds. The sea is clean, warm, the weather pleased us all 10 days of stay)

A little about the hotel itself: we lived in the second building on the 6th floor, the room is good, and did not find anything to complain about))). The only drawback is the elevator, which travels as it pleases, responding priority to external calls, that is, if you need to go to the 6th floor, and someone to the 4th, then the elevator will stop on the 4th, and then it can go back to the ground floor , if someone has already called from below, well, it was rather funny, not annoying at all.
Nutrition. We took only breakfast, completely satisfied, quite varied and champagne for breakfast is still served). We had dinner at restaurants on the embankment, there were no problems with food and communication, they understand English, and many restaurants have a Russian menu.
Swimming pool. Sunbeds in sufficient quantity, the pool was not particularly popular, since there is a beautiful sea nearby, for example, I have never swum in the pool, not a fan.
Animation. As far as I saw, mostly for children: mini miss and mister, mickey mouse and so on, for adults karaoke, I can’t tell you more, because when we returned from walks, it was already over.
Excursions. We went to Terragona, Reus, Barcelona, ​ ​ Figueros (S. Dali Museum-Theater), climbed Mount Montserrat.
Once we were in PortAventura. Tip: in addition to the entrance ticket, take the express (one for the most popular attractions costs 23 euros) or for each attraction the express costs from 4 euros. We tried to defend the usual queue and realized that we were not able, it was simply unrealistically long. By the way, we went to PortAventura on foot, we spent 20 minutes on the road, although there is a bus from McDonald's on the waterfront (on the opposite side).
If you take a tour and the guide will assure you that you can safely leave things on the bus (the driver will close the bus and no one will enter), I do not advise you to blindly believe him, take valuables with you, and shove backpacks or bags away under the seat or up, so as from sad experience, anyone can still enter the bus and the travel agency will not be held responsible for this.
In general, the rest turned out to be unforgettably wonderful, to everyone who has not rested yet, I wish you a great holiday!
