Estival Park

For some people a holiday is all about switching off and doing blissful nothing, but if you like something a little more lively then Hotel Estival Park in La Pineda on Spain’s “golden” Costa Dorada is a great choice for golfers and water sports fans and comes with an excellent fitness centre and spa. The 4-star rating is earned with well-appointed rooms and a very big slate of extras.

There are pools inside and out (seven in total!), massage, sauna, Jacuzzi, and a north African-style hammam. Squash courts, table tennis and a fitness centre will get the blood flowing again after all that chilling out. Then a beauty shop will help put your appearance back in order if you overdo it.

Hotel Estival Park is definitely somewhere youngsters will enjoy. They have their own pools – three of them – a children’s play area and kids’ club for organised fun. Mum and dad can relax and enjoy the show too, with a busy schedule of live acts and dancing during the evenings.

Three buffet restaurants offer a choice of international cuisine, local flavours and that family favourite, pizza. A good selection of bars allows you to enjoy your sangria in the shade or out in the sun. All-inclusive deals are a great way to set your budget and stick to it. As well as a generous food and drinks package, the all-inclusive set up at Hotel Estival Park also throws in some of the spa and fitness facilities.

La Pineda boasts 4km of fabulous quality beaches, renowned for their cleanliness. The resort’s Aquopolis water park is a big draw for families and the country’s biggest theme park, Port Aventura, is just down the road. There are high-quality golf courses everywhere you look, including 18-holers in Reus and Mont-roig del Camp as well as a nine-hole set-up at Club de Costa Dorada near Tarragona. With such high-quality service and facilities in such an excellent location, the Estival Park hotel will see you enjoying your break, whether you’re a sit-back-and-relax or get-up-and-go holiday maker.
