We booked the hotel and flight (choice) with Sundeal/Leeds Co-op on the Internet to get a 10% discount and then booked a shuttle bus transfer over the phone with them. This is the first time we have used a shuttle transfer (small or mini bus), and were quite pleased.
The hotel is on the inland side of the resort on the edge of the built-up area, so it was fairly quiet at night and about 10 minutes from the promenade. You can also walk along this promenade or the pedestrianised streets to get to Cala Bona. The resort is geared for those wanting a fairly relaxed holiday and not generally for teenagers! Night life tends to end about midnight to 1 o’clock.
The local beach is 10 minutes walk, clean and wasn’t overcrowded, bearing in mind this was Sept/Oct.
The hotel and the resort is orientated to Germans, but we didn't find this any problem. There were about 20 English people staying at the hotel while we were there, as well as some Spanish and a few other nationalities, and only a few children. Most of the hotel staff could speak English. The hotel rooms were very clean as was the rest of the hotel. The bedroom and the dining room had air-con. The beds were wood slatted with a comfortable sprung mattress. Bathroom was compact but adequate. Towels were changed on an "as required" basis.
There were three outdoor pools, a child's pool, an intermediate pool, (used for water aerobics, etc.) and a good sized main swimming pool. There is an heated indoor pool, as well as a gym, sauna, etc. The extensive grounds and the pool areas were cleaned every day before breakfast. There was always plenty of sun loungers and a large grassed area if you wanted to be away from the pools. This is an All Inclusive hotel, so the alcoholic drinks are locally produced, but good and unlimited and an excellent range. The hotel group has a website which gives further accurate information.
The staff are very friendly, efficient and courteous. (10/10)
There was always plenty of food. Breakfast can seem to be a bit repetitious, with bacon, beans, sausage, eggs, salad, cold meats, and cheese nearly everyday. Once a week there is a BBQ at lunchtime and themed dinners four times a week. Don't expect burgers, fish fingers, etc.
Entertainment varied from very good to poor (hotel "animation team" twice a week).
I would rate this hotel a good 3 star for food and room accommodation and 4 star for facilities and certainly worth a future re-visit. Value for money was very good.
As we liked the hotel so much we didn't venture into other bars, etc., although there was the usual mix of German, English and Spanish bars and restaurants along with plenty of shops.
The resort is well served by local buses and taxis and other forms of transport are available for hire nearby. |
