Medplaya Hotel Calypso

Super lovely staff! 2 big pools! Lovely food! Nice restaurant! Super comfy beds! Big bathroom! Quieter side of salou! Entertainment for kids on a night! Super clean! Second time going, and I will definitely go back again!! :)

We stayed in July / August 2023 and booked a superior family room for two adults and two children aged 11 and 9. The size of the room was fine and the beds were comfortable and cleaned daily. Fresh towels were provided daily if required and after 5 days we stripped all beds and new sheets and duvet/ pillow covers were provided. Storage space for clothing was a little bit lacking. We made do and it wasn't a deal breaker but a little more was needed really. Our bathroom was massive, huge bath with a shower over it, as well as a wet room style separate shower. Dove shower gels and shampoos were provided which smelt nice. Our room was on the third floor of the main building and faced the road with a pine forest behind it. Wasn't a particularly nice view but we weren't expecting herds of wildebeest dancing majestically over the serengeti. It got the sunshine in the morning but not the afternoon. The alternative view would have been a balcony overlooking the pool. The advantage of this would have been lovely sunshine in the afternoon, the downside would have been the loud music / entertainment all day and evening - your subjective choice. As a meat eater I was happy with the selection of food, plenty of meat / fish / cheese / salads / breads. If you've stayed all inclusive before then the deserts were typical little cakes, custards etc but self service ice cream machines were popular with my girls! My wife, however, who doesn't eat meat or fish struggled and this is one area where the hotel could easily improve. Each lunch and evening meal there are easily 8 meat or fish dishes but rarely vegetarian, so it would be so simple just to make a couple of dishes vege. They would make some nice salads but then add meat or tuna when it was not necessary. So improvements needed food wise for veggies. The pool? Well it depends on what type of person and what type of holiday you are after.

Great space and facilities. Rooms and beds were very comfortable and cleaned everyday. We were half board and food was great so was good value for money. It is a huge hotel so lots of lovely space to hang about inside and out. Games room for young ones is well stocked, main bar allowed for everyone to enjoy with dance floor and bistro tables to the front, pool tables to the side and sofas to the back so you could relax or play cards etc. Felt very safe for family and teens. It also meant we could be together but do what we want.

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.
