Marathon, Salou Overview
Marathon is located in Salou, Spain. Rated 9.6 out of 10 based on 5 guest reviews.
Marathon is a well-reviewed apartment in Salou, Spain, set on Carrer de Joanot Martorell 1 in the Edificio Marathon, Apt 516. Guests tend to praise the calm, comfortable feel and the practical layout for day-to-day living, with one recent visitor noting how easy it was to settle in quickly thanks to the apartment’s kitchen setup and the availability of laundry service. The terrace is a highlight, especially when you want a quiet moment outside, and the air conditioning and heating help the apartment stay comfortable across seasons.
Location matters here: you’re about 700 metres from Llevant Beach and also within roughly the same distance of Capellans Beach, making it simple to alternate between swimming and a slower pace in town. Llarga Beach is under 1 km away, so beach-hopping doesn’t require planning. For bigger outings, PortAventura Park and the surrounding theme-park complex are typically around 4.5–5 km by road.
Inside, the apartment is designed for self-catering, with a living room and dining area, plus a fully equipped kitchen that includes a microwave. A flat-screen TV rounds out the indoor comfort. When you want a change of scenery without leaving the property, the seasonal outdoor swimming pool and the garden provide a low-key option. The lift and family rooms are useful for travellers with children or anyone who prefers fewer stairs, and pets are allowed, which is a deciding factor for some guests.
Marathon is best for families and small groups who want easy access to Salou’s beaches while keeping the flexibility of an apartment-style stay.
