Review: California Palace Hotel Salou
Page Content
This is a very nice modern building with lots of glass windows. There's an interesting looking pillar when you walk in that looks a bit like a tree and is tiled in a mosaic 'Gaudí' style.
The hotel is walking distance to the beach and has its own spa and entertainment, making it good for families and people who are looking to relax.
