Cala Domingos

“Nice holidays, good turistic complex, italian = official language”

Well, let's put some truth to the evaluation of Cala Domingos apartments complex. It is, in fact, a italian "island" on Cala Domingos, but that's not necessarly bad :) The staff is extremely helpfull and nice, although it's really kind of odd to ear everyone speak italian in a Spanish hotel, mayb... more

Well, let's put some truth to the evaluation of Cala Domingos apartments complex. It is, in fact, a italian "island" on Cala Domingos, but that's not necessarly bad :) The staff is extremely helpfull and nice, although it's really kind of odd to ear everyone speak italian in a Spanish hotel, maybe the owner is italian or something, i believe. For turists that are not familiarized or don't have latin background, if they give a big deal to animation, is a NO CHOICE hotel, that's for sure. But if you're into a relaxed kind of halidays, don't borrow to ear italian all day long or can comunicate with some italian/spanish words, is a GO for you. It all started on arrivel, with a very efficient solved problem on booking comunication between them and Destinia, solved in a matter of minutes by a very professional guy called Antonello. As the villas are up a hill and we got the last one, he took us there and luggage in a golf caddy! Reception desk is very helpfull and smiling all the time, once again Antonello and Silvia, the most fantastic ones. As the complex itself, it's based on individual villas, with a main central area where's the adult pool (trefoil shape), with one side being kids pool, it's amazing, they also have a 3rd pool, especially for little babies. Is a All Inclusive basis, but outside main meals it's a fair service, with free basic drinks and pizza/cookies, just for short periods, The apartmens have a kitchen, room, A/C in living room, small TV, and a little terrace, they are cozy and confortable enough for vacations. Food in restaurant is italian based, always lots of pasta dishes (always fresh made), grills on the hour and plenty of choice, with average/good quality but very suitable for children, low salt!! They have a beach volley court, tenis court and futsal court. Beach is wonderfull and only 50m away. Animation team is from Villagi Bravo (italian travel agency or so), so everything in italian but very funny people, nice beautifull italian girls and boys, with daily different sport and leisura activities, everyone invited. There's night show but in italian (it should be also in English, but it figures to be a italian colony this hotel). It's 1000m away form comercial center of small village, with lots of shops, souvenirs and kids animation, Besides the italian issue, it's a wonderfull place to spend a relaxing and sporty holidays (although I hade much better in 2010 on other big chain hotel), but they practiced a fair price (150€/day for us all, All Inclusive), and it was a funny and above all relaxing holidays! It's a 3-4 star standard, don't expect luxury, just commitment to give you good vacations, even if they are not the top of animation i've experienced so far. We have to be fare and don't make negative judgments just based on italian issue, read my comment and go on free will, if you don't care about language problem. You can have a great time there. There's good sourrounding conditions for jogging/running, with a 1.5km walk just next to the sea, over the cliff. I would give 16/17 out of 20 pontuation.
