Hotel Vil-la Romana

Stayed at the Romana with my partner and 13 year old girl. Well when we first checked in they gave our room away and we had to stay in the Belverdere which was 1 min away. The young girl Valentino was very good and was gonna upgrade us to full board but we already had it so we had free drinks all week.
We were allocated a room the next day. The location is good about 10 mins to the beach and main strip and about 20 min walk to port adventura. We walked 3 times is was nice and hot so we didn’t mind.
The rooms were very clean and it was quiet at night. The food was really good chef show cooking and the breakfasts are great. Entertainment a bit naff but you can go out to karaoke’s and discos. The pool was a good size to. Always a lifeguard on duty.. Table tennis.. Pool...games room. Internet room all in this hotel...and all in all I would go back to this hotel. Good weather in sept..

An excellent choice if, like us, you want to base your holiday around Portaventura.
The hotel is less than 15 minutes walk from the park and cost us (a family of 4) over a grand less than the Portaventura hotels would have cost. It's also about 10 minutes to the beach.
The rooms are very comfortable and well-equipped. Our kids had no problems with the sofa-bed, they thought it was great.
The food was good, with plenty of choice for both breakfast and dinner. The nearest supermarket is 5 minutes away when you need to stock up the fridge.
The pool is excellent, if a little crowded. Get there before 9.30 to get a decent sun bed.
The staff were friendly and efficient, although we felt they could have done with a few more staff in the bar and restaurant.
The evening entertainment was poor, and the kids' entertainment was awful, but Salou has so much to offer that it wasn't a problem for us.
Portaventura is fantastic, as is its water park. There are rides and shows for all ages and the nightly Fuerteventura is well worth seeing.
All the rides have height restrictions, and they are very strict with this, but our youngest (who missed out on a few rides by 5cm) still had a wonderful time.
He'll be over the 120cm mark required for a lot of the better rides by July when we're going back.
If you want to get around, public transport is excellent, and Barcelona is about an hour away. The zoo and the Nou Camp are well worth a visit.
All in all, a great part of the world for a family holiday, a very good hotel. Recommended!

Have stayed in this hotel twice, both times Oct mid term (2005 & 2006), with husband and 9/10 year old child.
Food is fantastic, main reason we went back. Location ideal, 10 mins to theme park, 10 mins to town and 15 mins to beach. Staff courteous and helpful particularly restaurant staff.
Have stayed in both Port Aventura hotel and Costa Caribe and this hotel beats them hands down for location, food, even the rooms.
Fridge is free and a good size, pool towels supplied for use in hotel or even on the beach so no need to take them with you. Hotel is very clean and well maintained.
Last year queued a few times for breakfast but as food is so good we didn't mind. Choice in the evening is superb, best hotel food we've ever eaten.
Wine with dinner is very reasonable and bottles come already labelled with room number, so I could drink a bottle of white over 2 nights and husband could drink red.
Salou is lovely, theme park great for all ages and beach/promenade beautiful. Plan to go back this year even if only for a weekend.

Best hotel I have stayed in. Food 10 out of ten, staff, location, room, comfort 20 out of ten. What else to say great, spot on, we will be back,
But if you go to port a Ventura, hide the food and drink, they go thro your bags like they are looking for guns, they are not, they want you to spend four times, yes four times the cost of goods outside inside, spoils the day, also be prepared to queue, big style.
They let rides go half full to keep up the queue? Must be to sell the fast pass? Disney ten out of ten, Porta Ventura, three.
