Salou, Costa Dorada, Spain

You’re on the go a lot here, so the hotel keeps dining relaxed and easy. The main buffet restaurant serves a generous spread at breakfast, lunch and dinner on Full Board, with Half Board guests enjoying breakfast and dinner. Expect a mix of international favourites and Spanish flavours, plus show cooking and handy microwaves for little ones’ meals. Beachwear isn’t permitted at dinner to keep things smart-casual.

When it’s time for a drink or snack, you’ve got three bars: Baco’s sports bar for evening cocktails and live match days, a bright coffee bar for daytime pick-me-ups, and a pool bar for ice-cold drinks between dips. Opening hours and offerings can vary with occupancy and season, and some branded or premium drinks may cost extra depending on your board basis.

This is where Ohtels Villa Romana really comes into its own for families. There are two main outdoor freshwater pools, including a large freeform pool with integrated children’s section and a separate kids’ pool with slides. Sunbeds and parasols surround both, creating a lively, sociable sunbathing area.

The dedicated splash park and aqua park dial the fun up another notch, with slides, multi-lane racers, aqua loop slides, tipping buckets, jets, sprinklers and water cannons. Opening hours typically run from 10:00–19:00 and can change with occupancy and season. Age, height and weight restrictions may apply for some slides, and pool towels are available with a refundable deposit.

When you’re ready for real waves, the sandy beach at Salou is around 900m away, with shallow waters ideal for paddling and plenty of waterfront activities along the promenade.

Between park days and pool sessions, the on-site wellness area is a welcome retreat. The spa features a sauna, steam room, Turkish bath and a menu of massage and beauty treatments (local charges apply). There’s also a playful Beer Spa concept for something a bit different. Minimum ages apply for certain spa facilities (often 5+ for access in some areas and 18+ for massage treatments – check locally).

Active guests can make use of the air-conditioned gym, kitted out with cardio machines, free weights, an aerobics studio and strength equipment. Opening hours are generally 08:00–22:00 and may vary. Cycling services include secure bike storage, cleaning and basic maintenance facilities, making this a solid base if you’re exploring the Costa Dorada on two wheels.

Practical extras include a 24-hour reception, concierge-style support, luggage storage, currency exchange and wheelchair hire, as well as charging facilities for mobility scooters.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What exactly is included with the PortAventura tickets at Ohtels Villa Romana?
Your stay includes 2 days’ entrance to PortAventura Theme Park and 1 day entrance to Ferrari Land. When you visit Ferrari Land, your ticket also grants an extra visit to PortAventura Theme Park on the same day. Ticket type depends on your holiday start date, all tickets are non-transferable once issued, and once activated they must normally be used within 5 days. All access is subject to the official PortAventura World calendar and height/age restrictions on specific rides. Transfers to and from the park are not included.

2. Is Ohtels Villa Romana suitable for young children?
Yes – it’s designed with families in mind. There’s a children’s pool, splash park and aqua park with various slides and water features, a kids’ club for ages 4–12 years (usually open from late June to early September in the mornings), a playground with swings and climbing frames, plus a nightly mini-disco in season. Rooms can sleep up to four, making them practical for families with one or two children.

3. What board basis should I choose – Half Board or Full Board?
Half Board is ideal if you plan to spend some days out at PortAventura World or exploring Salou, as it includes buffet breakfast and dinner. Full Board suits guests who expect to stay around the hotel most of the time, or want predictable mealtime costs, as it adds buffet lunch in the main restaurant. Drinks at lunch and dinner are usually payable locally unless stated otherwise in your specific Travelisto package.

4. Are the spa and gym facilities at Ohtels Villa Romana free to use?
Access to the gym itself is typically complimentary for hotel guests, subject to opening hours and minimum age (usually 16+). The spa area – including sauna, steam room, Turkish bath, massage treatments and the Beer Spa – often carries an additional charge and can have minimum age rules (for example 5+ or 18+ depending on area and treatment). It’s best to confirm up-to-date pricing and age policies with the hotel once you arrive.

5. When do the entertainment and kids’ clubs run?
Daily daytime and evening entertainment programmes usually operate between around 22 April and 31 October, with a mix of games, sports, family activities, quizzes, live music, shows and mini-disco. The kids’ club for 4–12-year-olds tends to run from late June to early September, typically in the morning hours and subject to occupancy. As with any seasonal resort, exact dates, times and activity line-ups may change year-to-year and can be adjusted according to weather and guest numbers.

6. How far is Ohtels Villa Romana from the nearest beach and promenade?
The hotel is roughly 900m from Salou’s main beach area, where you’ll find a broad stretch of golden sand, shallow water and a long, palm-lined promenade. It’s an easy walk for most guests, and taxis are available if you’re travelling with younger children or beach gear.

7. Does the hotel offer Wi‑Fi and how good is the connection?
Free Wi‑Fi is advertised throughout Ohtels Villa Romana, including in rooms and public areas. Speeds are generally fine for everyday tasks such as messaging, browsing and social media, although as with most resort hotels, bandwidth can fluctuate at peak times when many guests are online simultaneously.
