Arrived at the apartment 2am 2adults and3 children over tried and just wanted to get to bed, Found the Hotel staff poor when we arrived, and of course the lift was broken or "out of order" in broken english. wrote on the lift. when we got sign in and the 100 euros given over "deposit" finally got to bed. Got up 3hrs later looked outside great morning! Pool looked great ,shops near buy "on a winner the apartment was very good (2 bed room) bucket load of space + balconoy. Once we all got breakfast over headed for the Pool!(beware the pool which you see from you apartment does not belong to Village park its private,and you can see why 1st class) the one which belongs to the hotel(Duck pond)is around the corner out of sight!!! but ending on a low point, the rest of the holiday was great ,walking distance 5-10minutes to the main beach ,great mini markets ,good food and at night time the portaventure was brill over all Salou is a good family holiday( if you can afford a little extra stay in one of the H10 hotels, which has a LARGER duck pond and cleaner)

Salou Village Park Apartments 27th August 2006
Mary & Family from Tilbury
I read some reviews before i went about these apartments which were very off putting so i went with an open mind not expecting much . My Sister had an apartment in one block i had one in another they were both liveable and basic we were on 5th floor had a lovely view of the theme park from balcony which was very large. we had to clean it our selfs as no maid service, towels were changed once in the week we were there. We did have a washing machine and it did work also a clothes airer. we did have to report about our shower in one of the bathrooms and it was fixed within a couple of hours. It is also very central for supermarket and shops beach is a ten minute walk away so all in all it was not the apartments from hell as some people had quoted we had a very enjoyable week would stay at these apartments again .

My husband daughter and myself have just returned from a one week holiday in Salou staying at the Village Park Apartments and were surprised at how self contained they were. There is a washing machine, fridge freezer, ceramic hob and hood, toaster, kettle and loads of cupboard space in the kitchen. The living room has a glass coffee table quite a large unit with T.V. dining table chairs and a settee which doubles as an extra bed. Off the small hallway there is a bedroom with two single beds and a double wardrobe built in. A shower room with toilet and wash hand basin. The double bedroom has a double bed and a double and single built in wardrobe. The en suite bathroom has a bath with overhead shower wash hand basin toilet and bidet. There is also an ironing board and iron in the apartment. The apartments have terraces with table chairs and a clothes horse. The towels were changed once in the week we were there but I just washed the used towels every day so we always had clean ones. The deposit for a two bedroom apartment is 150 euros. There is no reception at the apartments and the keys are collected from the Euromed offices a few minutes down the road near the Europa Hotel. This is also the pick up point for travelling home. Safety deposit boxes are available here also. Any repairs to the apartments seem to be dealt with promptly. We had a broken lock on one of the terrace doors which we reported in the morning and it had been repaired when we got back at night. Security at the apartments is good. You get two keys one opens the gate and the doors into the apartment block and the other one is for your door. There is also a phone entry system one at the gate and the other at the door to the block. The apartments are in quite a quiet part of Salou and are nicely laid out. As for the resort itself it is very British influenced and too commercialised for my taste. If you like British food and drinking in British pubs then this is for you. Fortunately there is quite a good bus service to Tarragona and Reus and also a train to Barcelona. The bus stops are about a 15 minute walk away and the train station is about 30 minutes walk away. You can also get a bus to Portaventura or you can walk there in about 15 minutes from the apartments and you can get a bus to Aquapolis. All in all we enjoyed our holiday by travelling outwith Salou and loved the apartments but we would definitely not holiday here again. Ever!!!
