Review Hotel Villa Marina Salou
Page Content
The Hotel Villa Marina Salou (or Villa Marina Club as it is also known) is spacious inside, although not the most modern design I have seen. On a plus point, it is quite a low-rise building and isn't overlooked. The staff were multilingual and very friendly and helpful and there was a nice relaxed atmosphere. This looked to me like a real family hotel.

Hotel Location And Facilities
It's a 10 - 15 minutes walk to the beach, as the hotel is near the outskirts of Salou. There's a small green park opposite (although access was closed during my visit in August).
Within a 5 minute walk you'll come to café bars with outdoor terraces on the way to the beach. This is a less rowdy area than the centre where all the main nightlife is. Here you'll find traditional Spanish tapas bars.
If you want to head into the centre of Salou you can walk there in 15 minutes, and you'll come to bars, restaurants, discos and shops.
To get to the Port Aventura theme park and the PortAventura Aquatic Park it is a 10 minute drive.
Golfers will find 4 golf courses within a 30 minute drive.

In A Nutshell
The Hotel Villa Marina Salou is a friendly hotel that's great for families. There are 2 swimming pools and they are surrounded by lush greenery giving the pool area quite a lot of privacy. It's in a residential area of Salou 15 minutes walk away from the discos and bars, which means you can enjoy some peace and quiet.
