Cala d'Or Playa

"Excellent!! Brilliant complex especially if you have children. Their entertainment programme is second to none and the best we have encountered. Children are fully entertained all day with a fantastic team. Special mention to Maria Alex and Charles for the effort they put in. The complex is really lovely- rooms have everything you might need and are immaculately clean. The restaurant and bar are lovely and food quality is excellent. Graçias especially to José and Alejandro who were so pleasant and helpful as were all the staff. Breakfast was more than adequate with something for everyone and the à la carte menu had a varied choice. You don’t need to leave the complex but there are a couple of lovely beaches within 5 minute walk and the town centre about 10 minutes away. Taxis are cheap and regular if you need. This was the 3rd visit for our daughter and family and our first . We were extremely impressed and would definitely recommend and return."

"We have just returned from an enjoyable 5-night stay as a family of 4 with two boys aged 6 and 9. The hotel was ideal for us and had everything you needed for a short family break. We stayed on a B&B basis which was perfect as the breakfast was really good, while the hotel is ideally located with only a short walk to the many bars and restaurants of Cala D’or. Our room was quiet and had everything you needed (including a great shower!) although some more drawers for clothes wouldn’t go a miss.. We found it nice to stay at a little compact hotel rather than the hustle and bustle you get with some other locations. We never had any issues getting sunbeds throughout the day and our kids loved playing in the pool and on the slides. Special mention has to go to the Animation team who were fantastic throughout. Our kids always seem to need a bit of encouragement to initially go to these things but once they did we literally couldn’t get them away from it! Thanks to Alex, Charles and Meri (?) who really made our kids holiday, so much so there were tears on our last night! They set up various activities throughout the day including the water walk thingy, bouncy castle, water fights etc. and the Teams patience with the kids is admirable. We found all staff to be very pleasant throughout. Overall we would have absolutely no issues returning to this hotel in the future, which I think is the best recommendation you can give."

"We have just returned from 10 nights self catering and we had a lovely family holiday. For us we felt the location was perfect, close enough to all amenities but far enough away that it wasn’t too noisy. There is a supermarket just up the road which is a little on the expensive side but further up the same road there is a larger supermarket with more variety and is cheaper. There are plenty of restaurants and bars nearby to choose from, and there is a fun park for children just up the road with bouncy castles etc which our child loved. The hotel is situated right in between two lovely beaches however we preferred a slightly longer walk to cala petita. We had a ground floor superior room which although seemed smaller than it looked on the photos we saw prior, was plenty big enough for 2 adults and our toddler. Our only issue with the room was that on arrival we noticed a constant whirring noise which was quite loud in our room and on our first night kept us awake a lot throughout the night. I believe the noise was likely to be the hotel ventilation system or something similar. We did consider asking to move rooms as we were so disturbed but instead we turned up our child’s white noise machine and drowned the noise out instead! We were a little disappointed that we had to do this every night to sleep, especially considering we paid for a superior room. Breakfast was an extra €17 per adult but we only used this option once for convenience. The snack bar was great and we particularly enjoyed the salads and smoothies from there. We didn’t struggle to ever find a sun lounger however all the ones closest to the pool or in favourable locations were occupied from 10am for the rest of the day. The gym was a basic hotel gym which was more than adequate for a good workout. We didn’t watch any evening entertainment as for us personally it was quite late with a young child. I understand children stay up later on holidays but even with a nap our child is exhausted by 7:30pm which is unfortunate as he never got to experience the children’s disco (starts at 8:15). The poolside was slippy in areas as mentioned in other reviews but no slippier than any other pool area i have visited. In conclusion, providing we could guarantee not being in the same room as previous, we will consider in returning."
