    The hotel itself could do with a major renovation. The outside of the hotel has paint falling off, cracks everywhere and looks outdated, you can tell there is major wear and tare. The beds weren't the comfiest either. Overall for what we paid we were satisfied.

    We stayed for a long weekend as we spend two days in Portaventura and we found a good deal which included half board. The breakfast had a wide variety of hot and cold options and the dinner had also a great options, there was definitely something for everyone. The rooms were renovated and clean and the staff was friendly. The location was great for us as it was just a 10 min drive to Portaventura.

    Drinks system! Your band for AI should be enough to get a drink, shouldn't be the need for cards/empty glasses to obtain drinks. Drinks were good though. Pool area tired and could do with updating as well as comfy sun loungers and perhaps allowing one to be adults only.

    Room for 4 adults was great (Room 548). Lovely set-up. Food ok, could have been warmer, plenty of choice. Had Gluten free options too, but needed to find someone to ask for it from the kitchens.

    The pool was freezing so our little one only went in for a few minutes before he was too cold, which was a bit disappointing.

    We loved our stay at this hotel as it was our first holiday as a family with our little one who was 3 months old. The staff were so helpful and friendly. We booked all inclusive just for easiness and the restaurant was good every night, although it was pretty busy as the evening went on but the food was always replenished fast and plenty of options too! Our room was spacious and originally there was no cot in our room but the staff quickly sorted this for us with the hour. The room wasn’t too busy either and could only hear chatting in the corridor occasionally. The pool area was big with plenty of space to put your pram and not too crammed. The drinks selection was great included with the all inclusive.

    It's hard to find a fault tbh but if anything, the lifts only went to the 5th floor and the 6th floor was only accessible by stairs.

    The staff were amazing, Vanessa at the reception was particularly exceptional, the food was great and tasty, especially the al fresco restaurant, no idea where the people who gave this hotel a bad review stayed but it definitely wasn't the medplaya salou. If you do go to this hotel I recommend you ask for room 606 as the balcony is huge and you get 2 sun loungers for your private sun bathing.

    We like eating in the al-fresco area for breakfast but wish it had more variety like what to restaurant offers. Better entertainment on an evening.

    We have been coming to the Calypso for 9 years & everytime we have a great holiday. It has everything we need. Close to the shops, restaurants & 15 minutes to the beach. We go AI & never had a problem with food, always found something to eat & lovely cocktails. Staff are great, treat them with the kindness & respect you would like in return & they can't do enough for you. They work hard!

    The entertainment is not good. We stayed all inclusive a few times in different places and we always enjoyed different entertainment every night for both kids and adults but there was only one good night with music. No whiskey free with all inclusive.

    We enjoyed our stay. The food was always beautiful for every meal. We stayed all inclusive and there was a room stocked with snacks all day. There is a Al fresco restaurant that you can get some free meals with all inclusive from 12-18:00, the burgers are definitely worth trying. My 2 year old loved the play ground and it was right next to the kids pool with a sun lounger area between the both areas that always had available loungers.

    There are defo nicer places nearby. The surrounding areas by the pool are too small. I think they need to open up the entertainment area to allow for more loungers during the day. The chef in the outdoor snack area is VERY rude.

    It was okay but not worth €1600 for 1 person for 1 week. The place was spotless and the staff are excellent for the most part. There is a late bar which is child friendly. This is great if you don’t want to leave the hotel. Every night has a different type of entertainment and it is brilliant and engaging for all. They speak multiple languages during the shows too.

    Pool areas got very busy so might be tricky to get decent loungers. There was also only one lift which got annyoing when we were on the 5th floor.

    Interior is very modern looking and the staff were extremely friendly on the reception desk. Rooms are a bit small with a sofa bed for kids but decent shower and lots of storage space. We were on the top floor overlooking the main road but it was quiet. Pools were small and busy but one of them had a very deep area (2.4m) which was great for the kids diving down in. The buffet was great, lots to choose from and never seemed too busy. There was a bus stop up the road for getting a coach to Barcelona airport.

    After reading bad reviews this hotel didn't have anything to complain about .

    Great hotel clean hotel comfortable big and busy. Food for everyone even our fussy eaters had plenty to pick at. The lunch bar on the terrace had great burgers and hot dogs yummy. There's two pool the one at the back great for kids. Vending machines through out the building. Rooms cleaned everyday and fresh towels great cleaners friendly staff. I've been to many resorts this was by the best quite at night . Bars restarted kids play zones just out the door and take a left . Would I stay again 100%.

    Despite the hotel being advertised as family-friendly, it was difficult to escape the smokers. There was no smoke-free area around the pool loungers, nor at the tables near the stage, and one woman even smoked in the children's pool. If you are a non-smoker and don't want your child exposed to smoke, it will be challenging to find a smoke-free spot. By 9:00 AM, all loungers were occupied with towels, despite hotel rules against this, but it seemed to be largely ignored.

    The hotel is quite modern with clean and pleasant rooms. Housekeeping was done daily, keeping everything spotless. The food was varied and delicious, catering to different tastes. There were plenty of engaging activities for kids every day, which kept them entertained. Additionally, the staff was friendly and always ready to assist, making our stay even more enjoyable.

    Loved the food! The staff were incredible! Worked quickly and cleaned quickly. Great food selection and cooked to a great standard! The food on the holiday made the experience so much better! Huge well done to everyone there! They worked so hard and it showed! Loved the room, comfy bed, clean, quiet. Tv and sizeable bathroom!

    Being on the 5th floor with mobility problems was a little worrying, if there had been an emergency vacuation with the lifts out of action I would never have made it down the many stairs. I was told when checking in that we could use the ALFRESCO restaurant as well as the main restaurant, as it was included in our tariff. However once seated were told of the supplement of €10. We decided to stay and pay, however we had been misinformed. As above it was worth paying the extra I would just like to have been given the correct information.

    Spacious exceptionally clean rooms with a comfortable bed which had good cotton sheets on it. Air con worked well particularly needed with temps 30 degrees plus. Nice view over the main hotel building swimming pool. Room located by a lift as requested due to my mobility problems. Enjoyed the ALFRESCO restaurant for a pleasant change from the busy buffet for the evening meal. It was worth paying the very reasonable price of €10 to upgrade to this from half board for one night.
