We booked last minute for this holiday and were not quite sure what to expect as we normally opt for Turkey. Wow what a surprise we got.

The theme parks are brilliant a wee bit expensive but worth it.

The hotel was spotless with maids everyday.

Meals were very good and plenty to choose from. Staff very friendly.

Entertainment well! What can I say out of this world! The entertainment team were brilliant all day long you were entertained in 1 way or another. Their shows are amazing and the work that goes into the sets, suits and routines is phenomenal. Even the kids who were 13 & 10 said it was their best holiday yet. The wee 1 we hardly saw between kids club, mini club & mini disco. The big 1 loved the water sports & darts, pool, table tennis& ten pin bowling competitions.

The kids club reps do a brilliant job. only down side is evening entertainment doesn

The food was excellent, the location was just right, the rooms were cleaned daily, the staff in reception were extremely helpful, as were the waiters and waitresses, very quick to clear tables.

My only critism is that the flushing toilets is the noisiest I have ever heard, and that the entertainment went on for too long with children returning to rooms at 2 or 3 in the morning, and not quietly. NOT THE HOTEL FOR A QUEIT HOLIDAY, but no doubt excellent for younger families.

We have just arrived back from the Calypso absolutely fantastic. Food excellent all you can eat. Hotel clean and tidy rooms cleaned daily.Excellent location good excursions, our children enjoyed it so much theydid,nt want to leave the hotel. Staff friendly, ongoing entertainment. Adult watervolley and water polo daily, great fun for mums and dads.Would definately return next time wouldn't do every excursion as kids were gutted when we took them away from the hotel for the day, but needed to see Barcelona and the theme parks excellent days out.Lifeguards always by the pool excellent with the children.Animation team work so hard they are also good fun.

I thought the hotel was really clean as the maids were tidying up all the time, the food was good but you have to make sure you dont get to breakfast too late as there will be quite a long queue.

The location was nice there were alot of shops on the way to the beach which was nice. There was also alot of theme park things about 20mins (on the bus) there was Aqua Polis, Port Aventura, Costa Caribe and House of Illusions that I recommend.

The hotel staff were VERY friendly and the entertainment was excellent the shows were great and the entertainment crew were very energetic giving every thing I had a lovely stay and would enjoy going back.!!!

I've just returned from this FABULOUS hotel and i must say i'm well impressed. The staff couldnt be any more darling with my two sons chris and kev and daughter Sarah. They couldn't get enough of the delightful kiddy club. My wife Lesley indulged like a bean to a can of beans in the daytime entertainment. She couldn't stop as their was so much excitment to choose from. The restaurant grub was good good good! I would defientley return to this FABULOUS hotel, everyone was such a sweetie.

Hotel staff were friendly enough, Thomson Reps were a joke. They were the most unhelpful and uninterested reps we've met, which was a bit annoying.
Hotel is clean but could be doing with some upgrading. Food was ok, lots to choose from but not the best quality. Breakfast time is VERY busy, most mornings there was a queue to get into the hall.
Entertainment was good, the hotel staff really put everything into it and were brilliant with the kids at the mini disco. BEWARE WHEN THE WATER POLO IS ON IN THE POOL AS THEY USE A LEATHER BALL WHICH COULD QUITE EASILY INJURE SOMEONE!
Security wasn't so good. Four rooms were "broken into" whilst we were there (All four were entered using a key) Watch your belongings at the poolside as things tend to go missing.
If you're looking for a quiet holiday don't stay at The Calypso Hotel as there's music and games from 10.30am - 2am!!
PS: BOOK A FRIDGE IN THE UK BEFORE YOU GO AS YOU HAVE NO CHANCE OF GETTING ONE WHEN YOU GET THERE. THERE'S HUNDREDS OF ROOMS AND ONLY 20 FRIDGES!
