Recently returned from Salou, this hotel is good. We stayed in the Thomson block which has the funkiest looking colours in the corridors (purple, orange) Aside from that the rooms were clean, plenty of fresh towels every day, welcome bottle of wine which was a nice touch. The food was great every day, plenty to choose from and the dining room staff are just so lovely even though they seem to be there all day/night and work so hard. The entire staff are very hard working and the entertainments team are just brilliant, they had us howling with laughter on the Grease night.
Pool is great, constantly monitored by a lifeguard.
All in all a very good hotel, the holiday was cheap considering there was ten of us, i definately do think that they need to consider changing the decor in the Thomson block though. If you want luxury this is not the place for you, if however you just want somewhere to chill out with the kids for a week without having to take out a second mortgage then this is the place for you.

we stayed here june 07 what a hotel loved it from the second we arrived. on arrival we arrived about 930pm we were given a ticket for a lunch for on our last day because we d missed our dinner due to arrival times.then in our room was a bottle of champane on ice which was a nice surprise. we stayed in the tompson block which was great but could do with a change of wall colours.
hotel food was lovely as was the themed nights the staff work really hard and keep on top of everything.
the entertainment staff were great always busy with the kids and putting on shows for familys at night.
Also the hotel has a games room which is not to expensive for the older kids in the night
we would recommend this for family s looking for a family hotel

Just arrived back after a family holiday after staying at the calypso. 2 children age 4 and 9. On arrival pleasant reception area pleasant staff. Directed to "thomson block" when you go up in the lift you exit to purple carpets and multi coloured walls very butlins style room clean and maintained.

Spanish school kids on vacation left to run wild until early hours variety of foods although would have enjoyed it hot.

Daytime entertainment very good nightime very Spanish focused. My advice is go to hte hotel but do not book via Thomson book through the hotel direct to be situated in the main hotel building rooms very nice. Do not end up in a lookalike butlins chalet.

Our second visit to this hotel and it was even better than the first.

Flew in to Reus this time rather than Barcelona and the transfer was so much easier!

Reception staff were really friendly and helpful from the moment we entred the hotel.

We stayed in the new block and it was spotlessly clean. Heard a few people complaining about the 'Thomson' block. I don't understand why this block isn't given a facelift as it seems to be letting down a fantastic hotel.

Our first visit in October was made so special by the Med playa team and we were over the moon to find out the majority of the team were still there. They work so hard and are so friendly. I don't have a bad word to say about any of them. A few of the team remembered us from last time and the kids thought this was great. We love Iria and Carlos and they have talked us in to going back again in September!

I enjoyed the food and thought there was plenty of choice. My mum came this time and is very fussy and she chose to eat out, but admits that they can't please everyone.

We thought the entertainment was great day and night, so much to get involved in. Although I was yet again robbed of the Miss Calypso title.

I definitely recommend this hotel to families; the kids are made to feel so much part of everything.
This is the first hotel that I have wanted to return to again and again.

Here's too many more happy holidays! Even my mum wants to go back

Arrived at the hotel after a taxi transfer which is a bit pricey at

We arrived mid morning on 9th Feb. Checking in couldn't have been easier, and staff in reception were very friendly and welcoming.

We booked 2 rooms but only 1 was ready, so we put all luggage in tat room for the time being. We were given our wristbands straight away so we could use the bar and dining room. The rooms were a decent size and ours overlooked the pool and kiddies play park.

The pool was closed but as it wasn't warm enough to use it so it didn't really matter.

The dining room was one of the biggest i've seen so no problem getting tables, and the staff were first class. The food wasn't the best I've had but you couldn't really fault it, as there was always something you could have.

There was a bottle of wine on each table at lunch and dinner, either a rose, red or white, but you could always change it from another table if you wished.

As there wern't many of us british there, you had a menu sheet for each person for each day, and you filled it in and gave it to a waiter on arrival at the dining room at breakfast. There were 4 menus and you ticked off what you wanted, and they cooked it fresh and brought it to your table, complete with H.P. sauce. There was a very good choice.

The bar was quite big and there was always a friendly face to serve you. The beer pumps said San Miguel, but i'm positive it wasn't but it was ok. During the day if you we're feeling a bit peckish, the bar supplied an unlimited amount of whole pizzas, which were excellent, as well as sandwiches nuts, and crisps etc.

There were around 30 televisions dotted around the bar, so you could choose a channel of your choice, we watched sky news, most of the time.

The rooms were cleaned to a high standard every morning, and there was always clean towels and bedding
The entertainment wasn't really up to much, but it catered for the spanish pensioners really, but we went out quite a bit so it wasn't really a problem.

There was entertainment during the day including bowling (which one of our party won), bingo, darts etc, but we were outnumbered by the spanish once again so we didn't take part much.

The hotel seems a little out of the way, but becauseof the time of year, most of the surrounding hotels ,bars etc were closed, and some just opened at night or at the weekend. I managed to find a bar 10 mins away, (The Shamrock) that had all the football on, and served a good pint of Tetleys, as well as some good food. Unfortunatley Mnchester Citys result gave me indigestion.

There is a nice secluded beach about 10-15 mins walk away, but there must be around 100 steps down to it, but it was very clean, and you could walk out 50 yards into the sea without getting out of your depth.

All in all it was a very enjoyable holiday, and we wouldn't hesitate in going back again.

N.B Just a word of warning. We booked a transfer with alpha rooms(we've used them before), and we paid just over

Returned from Salou on Saturday and we're planning our next trip already. We were so impressed with the Calypso from start to finish.

Our room had 2 large bedrooms and a huge balcony over looking the road. It was cleaned everyday, something which I wasn't expecting.

The food was great, I imagine it's very difficult to cater for so many people but we always found something we liked. Restaurant staff worked really hard cleaning tables and making sure buffet was always kept topped up.

The swimming pools were pretty cold but once you were in you soon warmed up.

Always staff cleaning round the pool. Most of the rubbish was left by holiday makers who obviously couldn

Stayed here in late October, were very impressed.

3 kids ranging from 5 to 15 and all had a good time.

Half board was great so we had the freedom to eat out at lunch time or there was the snack bar by the pool the kids used it once they didn't rate it very much. The restaurant was fine staff quick to tidy after you and good with the little one,good assortment of food always something for everyone.

The staff were all good can't say any more .

Entertainment was brilliant we watched it most nights even the 5yr old enjoyed it.

The hotel location is fine with only a short walk to the strip and to the beaches .

Would definitely go back with out hesitation real nice place to go

Just got back today from Salou,approx our 9th trip to Salou, and our second stay at the Calypso.

We like it because the location is ideal for us, being not to far away from the center of Salou, but far enough to be fairly quiet at night,you can not hear noise from the resort,but do expect some noise from other holidaymakers.

The staff speak english,rooms are basic but clean. Food is plentiful there are microwaves in the restaraunt for reheating your food to how you want it.

The pool are is not really that good and looks a bit shabby,there are plenty of sunbeds.

An internet area,small ten pin bowling ally, pool tables,and games machines. Plenty of entertainments for all the family,we love the Calypso & will return again.
