Holiday at Golden Taurus Aqua Park

my holiday 2018; 

Golden Taurus;
Hello guys,
As you would've known from my holiday posts, i went to Golden Taurus Aqua Park Resort. My first visit at this lovely hotel was when i was  9 years old and now i am 21. Crazy! I hadn't been back for about 6 years, and everything had changed. From some of the layout of the hotel, they even had an aqua park now, which what an addition it is, the restaurant had changed and the animation team had changed. I am very wary of change but this was a welcome change, as it still had the same feel to it, and like all of my holidays here, memories I would forever cherish. 

The hotel and surrounding areas: 
The hotel is a 4* hotel and if you enjoy the beach, you would love this location of where the hotel is. it is situated on the Pineda De Mar Beach. The town Calella is a half hour walk or there is a little bus just outside of the hotel, that you can get to in 10 minutes. I would defiantly visit Calella as it is a beautiful little town with the best shops and restaurants. The hotel itself has  2 restaraunts, one which is near the swimming pool and serves lovely food from chips to hot dogs and another restaraunnt where they do breakfast, lunch and dinner. The pancakes were insane at breakfast, defiantly recommend! The hotel also has 5 swimming pools, so very spoilt for choice. There is a child-friendly pool and one where me and my family sat by, which is where the entertainment is and the music, which i loved. The hotel is located about 40 minutes from Barcelona which if you are looking to go to Barcelona, speak to Kelli who is the guest relations manager and they do some fab deals! So, like i briefly said, they have added the aqua park in. This is open everyday and it was pretty amazing! It is very family friendly.  It was so fast paced and was brill. I loved how you could also have your dinner outside or inside, which i did quite a lot. They have the entertainment area as well, where they put on a mini disco for the children and various shows from outside and even 2 shows from the Animation team. This holiday can be as relaxing as you want or as activity filled! The choice is completely up to you! The hotel also offers Goldy club for kids club. 

The Animation Team: 

The Animation Team offer activities from children-adults. These activities start at 10:30am-4:30pm. Then they go onto do the mini disco which starts at 8:30pm, champagne game at 9:30 and a show at 10:00. The animation team do activities such as football,  basketball, snooker, rifle shooting, pistol shooting, aqua gym, bike excursions, water volleyball. If you win these also, you get a diploma to take away with you! On a Sunday they do a Caribbean party which is full of dancing and activities, fair games which are brilliant fun and sangria making, which is lovely!  The Animation team like every year were brilliant and so full of character. They really try to get to know you when taking part in the activities and they all work super hard every day to make sure you make the best memories whilst on holiday, which i certainly have. They also have 2 live singers this year which make the show that extra bit nicer. The Animation team really do make your holiday that extra bit better. The live singers Aida and Leo were brilliant! The shows they done this year were fantastic, which was the cinema show (featuring greatest showman, high school musical and much more), we will rock you (which we sadly missed!), Mamma Mia and the golden fun show which is hilarious! They also do karaoke, which is such a big laugh! Thank you so much to the fantastic animation team who work so so hard to get you involved with everything ! -Aida,  Javi, Aitor, Leo, Viktor, Gerard, Merche, Fabienne, Kristyna, Xenia and Nerai. From the shows to the daytime activities, all were brilliant.

The Staff:

the staff in the hotel were so polite and would go above and beyond for you every day all day. As soon as you walk into the hotel, it feels like home and they couldn't do enough for you. From the cleaners to the receptionists they were all equally lovely. 

The food:

The food at Golden Taurus is lovely. For breakfast they do a continental and also a cooked breakfast which i loved. the lunch we wasn't all inclusive so i used to get a baguette or a hot dog, but again it was really nice and the dinner used to have a theme some nights. The dinner ranged from spaghetti, spanish food, chinese food and the deserts were so amazing. There would be something you could find every night to fill you up!

Thank you so much to Kelli again for all of your hard work also!
