"The friendly, laid back vibe led to a genuinely relaxing few days away which was just what we needed - we can understand why folk return time and again. The hotel is quite far from the airport but worth the drive once you get there and can unwind. Rooms were large and spotless, with a mini fridge if needed, plenty of lighting, open wardrobe area, sofa and great sized balcony, plus comfy beds! One negative is that the bathrooms we had were definitely in need of renovation, with temperamental showers and toilet flush.
Food was ok...maybe a 3 out of 5...not the best we have experienced but for the most part it was hot, fresh and plentiful although breakfast was a little disappointing to us, personally, and after a few days, we were bored of the repetition. We also felt that if you had allergies or intolerances then you might struggle as not all dishes had labels etc and there were times we had to guess, which was interesting. We booked All Inclusive, however there are so many options of places to eat in the area that we could have easily enjoyed going half board, in hindsight. AI drinks were limited we found but did include a basic red, white, rose, sangria & beer plus a handful of cocktail choices and hot/soft drinks, plus the snack bar had handy self serve drinks machines (including water), and a selection of fruit/cakes and sarnies etc.
Evening entertainment was easy going and light hearted, offering simple humour and friendly engagement, but was not overwhelming or too in depth. We enjoyed listening to people having fun while we played cards/games each night after dinner and enjoyed a few drinks. Not much for youngsters to do, in our opinion.
The pool is a nice size, plenty of sunbeds were available and it was lovely and clean.
The walk from Cala Bona to Cala Millor was lovely, past the pretty marina and with great views plus as mentioned, plenty of places to eat/drink along the way. There is a complementary shuttle bus to the beach which we didn't use although we did get a cab back from Cala Millor one of the days which cost around 5euro which we felt was definitely reasonable.
Ultimately, Staff are what really made the trip better, to be honest. Everyone was friendly and engaged, even when they were clearly very busy. Huge shout out to Mel in the restaurant, Jess at the bar and Ricardo on reception...you all deserve a raise! Thank you for your efforts and your warm welcome!"
