MedPlaya Hotel Calypso
Lagoon pools and an on-site bowling alley
About this hotel
MedPlaya Hotel Calypso stands out for its lagoon-style pools and an on-site bowling alley, two extras that go beyond the standard amenity list found at most properties in this guide. The playground adds another on-site option for younger kids, and all-inclusive is available for families wanting a fixed food budget across the stay. Nine minutes by taxi from PortAventura World keeps the property connected for daily park visits, and the bowling alley in particular gives the group something to do on an evening when nobody has energy left for anything more active than knocking down pins after a full day at Caribe Aquatic Park. Air conditioning and free Wi-Fi round out the practical basics of the stay.

Our take
The lagoon pools and bowling alley make this a genuinely fun, resort-style pick for a family planning at least one full rest day. It suits groups wanting on-site variety; those wanting a quieter, more low-key stay might find the resort atmosphere here busier than they'd prefer, especially in peak season.
- ✓Plan a bowling evening for a day everyone is too tired for anything more active after the water park.
- ✓Use the playground on mornings the family isn't headed to Caribe Aquatic Park at all.
- ✓Add all-inclusive if you want the resort-style extras and food budget both handled in one rate.

Why guests love itThe bowling alley turned into our rainy-evening backup plan and ended up being one of the trip's unexpected highlights, competitive in a way that had nothing to do with slides or queues. The lagoon pools gave our rest day a different feel from a standard rectangular pool, and the nine-minute taxi to PortAventura World kept the rest of the week simple.
