Albatross Apartments

I was stuck in Spain over this last weekend, due to the volcanic ash closing british airports. Having only ever been on one sunny 'british' holiday I was not expecting much from my unexpected stay in Salou. However the travel info at reus airport assured me that Salou had... more

On arrival at the Albatross we were told we needed to pay a security deposit of 110 euros which our tour operator neglected to tell us. We went to our room (3rd floor) which was very basic but over all relatively clean. We had a twin room (apparently there are no double... more

We stayed at the Albatross apartments as we were told by Thomsons that this was a refurbished apartment that was rated 3*. If it has ever been refurbished at all it must have been in the 50 or 60's. The kitchen area was small and very dated. There was a fridge but the... more

Of all our holidays, this has to be the worst accommodation we've ever stayed at. The apartment had a pull down bed, with dangerous metal bits sticking out of it. Self catering? They're having a laugh! The pool is unheated and freezing. The staff are totally indifferent,... more

I have just returned from these apartments and would not go again. Air conditioning costs £110 euros for 2 weeks and you also have to pay £110 deposit for breakages. We didn't notice until halfway through our holidays that one of the white plastic chairs on the balcony... more

Salou itself is very hilly. Especially if you have a buggy or pushchair and older people in the group but, the coastline and beaches are wonderful and the sea is enticing. Not a lot to do in the evenings though. In fact not alot to do in the daytime once you come off the... more

Went to Albatross for the 3rd time and it was just as always - fabulous! Great location and a real friendly atmosphere. Staff always the same - charming and brilliant, especially Mr Liverpool in Als Bistro - quality! They always remember you which is nice. Explore Tarragona... more

Good location, close to three beaches. Hotel good, Big Als bistro also very good with good food and entertainment. The two owners Al and Derek good hosts and will help with any queries you have about parks etc. Nice walk into town centre along the seafront with lots of... more

We had a great holiday here. The accommodation was great, although a bit noisy at night. We paid extra for the air conditioning which was great, we were able to shut the windows at night and that helped to keep out some of the noise. Food in the bistro was great too. ... more

This holiday was excellent, had tears in my eyes carrying my suitcase out to airport. Weather 30 - 34 degrees every day, apartments clean, spacious, friendly reception staff. But best of all Big Al's Bistro on bottom floor. Entertainment fab, friendly, great food, great... more
