"Visited here with my husband this month, we had a lovely stay at this hotel, we wanted to chill out for the week and that's exactly what we did. Staff were friendly, others more friendlier than others tbh. The hotel was spotless clean, nice & modern also, there were activities on throughout the day that they announced over a microphone and entertainment on every night which was fab. We stayed in room 1205 above the pool area and it was lovely, it got the sun each morning. There is a kettle and fridge in the room & we brought our own iron. The room was spacious and the beds were so comfy, had a great sleep for the 7 days here. The hotel is cash free, which I didn't know until arriving, I thought this was a bit strange as you cant pay cash for drinks, but late on the 2nd day a waitress told me to go to reception, they will upload cash to my wrist key and you pay for drinks from that so you give reception the cash, we just asked them what the total left was if we were unsure. This worked well but would have been nice to have been told this on arrival having brough euros with us. We stayed half board which I was more than happy with, breakfast & dinner included, I did ask if we could switch dinner to a lunch option as there is no bar snacks available at this hotel but you could only do this one time. You have to pay €22.50 each for the lunch buffet, we did this on arrival as we were hungry but then the remaining days we went out or had ate enough breakfast that we weren't really hungry until dinner time as we had snacks in the room. I did enquire about upgrading to all inclusive but didn't think it was worth it at €35 per day per person, especially in October when the hotel wasn't as busy and not a lot of drinks are actually included in the all inclusive, limited choice and you have to pay extra for everything else. There was also a snack station for all inclusive but heard so many complain as the food seemed to have been there a long time, stale sandwiches / fruit etc. There is a supermarket across the road, just go out the gate at the pool area, go across the road into the hotel and downstairs, this was great for the basics but found it quite expensive. There are no other supermarkets close by, you have to walk the coastal path into Cala Bona, which is only a 10 min walk and a nice dander at that, we did this many times and walked back from Cala Millor also, stopping at a few pubs on the way back. The hotel is a bit out of the way, but it was lovely and chilled. There is a shuttle bus that runs everyday apart from Sunday and stops 1-3pm each day also for siesta finishing at 6.45pm each night. The bus drops you into Cala Bona, a short 5 min journey away and collects you also, this is a fab service. Buses also run constantly from the hotel, again out the gate where the pool is, the 425 takes you to Cala Bona, Cala Millor & possibly Sa Coma, so handy. We got a taxi back sometimes if we missed the shuttle and didn't want to stand around in the heat, taxi ranks are everywhere and its only around €5-€6 back to hotel. We also visited the market at Son Servera on the Friday, this was lovely, lots of fresh baked goods, clothes, jewellery and beautiful sites. It was a lovely little place with bars, restaurants but you need to get there early though as it packs up really fast. You can haggle with all the stalls, we got some lovely bargains. The taxi to here cost €9 and on the way back the line for the taxi rank was quite long, we jumped on a bus back into Cala Millor and walked back to the hotel from there. I absolutely loved Majorca and will definitely go back, if you are looking for a chilled out break then I do recommend this hotel and Cala Bona. Cala Bona is lovely down at the harbor, you can have a lovely lunch there and the walk from the hotel is really good, its all flat and you can take your time. All in all, this was a lovely break at the Globales Isabel."
