Review: Cala Font Hotel, Cap Salou, Spain


Last month our family took our first holiday abroad. Of course the hubby and I have travelled abroad dozens of times but the furthest the kids had ever been was Jersey and we felt it was high time after a really tough start to the year for us all to kick back and have some proper relaxation.

We've always been really lucky and had many UK based holidays and short breaks; my blog has been immensely useful for securing those but I did find this year that nothing beats the complete difference of being abroad. That hot weather makes you feel like just completely chilling out, not visiting theme parks, historic houses or trekking round towns. Just laying on a sunbed, reading a good book, having a wonderful swim and eating fabulous food.

Thank the Lord we absolutely fell on our feet when we booked the Cala Font Hotel via Thomsons. We were quite late to book our August break as it was only June that I proposed the idea of a jaunt abroad to my husband but my research on Trip Advisor and other online forums definitely paid off. I'll start by saying that we would highly recommend the Cala Font Hotel in Cap Salou and at the moment we are considering if we will return again next year. I say considering as we are wondering if it would be good to try a new resort or country for variety but we are being heavily swayed by the lure of coming back to a hotel that we know provides everything we need to a very high standard.

Reasons to be Cheerful: Viva La España

We've been back from Spain nearly a week now and what a magnificent holiday we had. It was the kids first one abroad and the first time my husband and I have been on an abroad beach holiday for 13 years. It was well needed!

We stayed at the Cala Font Hotel in Cap Salou, which is about a half hour walk from the busy resort of Salou on the Costa Dorada. We would highly recommend the hotel and Cap Salou as a quiet family resort and it was an added bonus that the transfer from Reus airport is only about 30 minutes.

We really took advantage of being able to fully relax and hours were spent by the pool, in the pool, in the sea and relaxing generally. Our rooms had wonderful views over the pool and out to sea and we'd find it hard to fault anything.

As my reasons to be cheerful this week I'll share with you some photos from our holiday.
