Great location, lovely and clean and service quick. Animation team were not the best especially for English and there was some language barriers there. Pools were small but good, plenty of sunbeds to put out but not much space to put them. You do have full use (baring the main restaurant) of the sister hotel which is much better for entertainment/animation for family. Food was always fresh and tasty but very repetitive, I don’t eat fish or pork so did mainly live on pizza bread and pasta as chicken was not served the 6 days k was there. Reception staff friendly, rooms dates but clean and everything you need, we did hire a fridge as I have medication, think it was 6 euro a day. PG tips and hp brown sauce was a nice touch for us northerners! Only negative would be that we asked on arrival to keep 1 of our rooms for an extra day as we had a night flight and was told no problem to go the day before, we went 3 times and told on checkout that we couldn’t keep any of the rooms, we paid 10 euro each, 5 euro for children to keep the all inclusive and used the luggage room which was secure, the bad bit was there was only 1 shower for the whole hotel , which was freezing and literally a trickle and had 15/20 people waiting to use it. For a hotel of that size I’d expect better check out facilities. Other than that a perfect base for exploring the nearby beaches and beautiful town of Cala for

“Good location”

The hotel is in a perfect location for the shops and restaurants, and just across the road from Cala Gran beach, and a 10 minute walk to Cala Esmerelda and Cala Petit, which are all so beautiful with crystal clear turquoise sea.

The hotel is in a perfect location for the shops and restaurants, and just across the road from Cala Gran beach, and a 10 minute walk to Cala Esmerelda and Cala Petit, which are all so beautiful with crystal clear turquoise sea. I'd read the reviews and knew what to expect. The size of the pools, with limited opening times was a big negative for me. I'd have my breakfast and be set up at 08.15 on the beach for a few hours, instead of waiting for the pool. The food could be vastly improved. It was edible, you quickly learnt what was ok,and I managed to find something to eat as I'm not too fussy. The bacon was tasteless, I honestly can't understand how this is even possible!, the fried eggs were cooked on mass, and the yolks were solid, like a hard boiled egg, but flat! No mushrooms or tinned/grilled tomatoes, hash browns appeared once. The bread rolls were fresh and tasty, so I'd stuff the overcooked eggs or chorizo and cheese in them, and have some cereal. The coffee from the machine, and the juice and smoothies were alright. At the evening meal there was always meat fish and pasta. I found the turkey steaks, pork chops, the mediterranean vegetables and the roast potatoes were OK but the meat was overcooked. The pork stew was nice. The room was dated, which didn't bother me. The beds were very comfortable and the shower was good, with no fluctuating water temperature. I got out and about a lot, so the hotel was more of a base, so had an amazing time. I would consider returning in the future

Didn’t know what to expect after reading the reviews for this hotel but we were pleasantly impressed. We traveled with our adult son who has autism and was greeted by Antonio at reception when checking in. I asked if there was a fridge in our room as my son is diabetic and I needed to store his insulin in the fridge, my mistake as I should have checked before. He couldn’t have been more helpful and changed our room to one with a fridge, which we were extremely grateful for. The room was lovely next to the small pool and cleaned to a very high standard. The food was typical of an all inclusive and better than a lot we’ve stayed in. Very impressed with the staff in the restaurant keeping tables cleared. We found the holiday excellent value for money.
