Sa marina hotel 'cala d'or'

Advantages: Central location, near to the beach
Disadvantages: Limited evening entertainment

...to offer. There are untold restaurants about 5 minutes walk away, with many bars & pubs, a few english pubs also. Plenty of shops ranging from clothes, leathers & souvenirs. The hotel lies just far enough away from the center so it is very quiet , even in the evening. There is evening entertainment which i would say is more catered for small children, & pool games is laid on by the staff daily, mainly pool volley ball. There is also pool towel hire for a small deposit. There is an indoor pool also & a gym. There are a few small sandy beaches near by, the best one is esmeralda beach, being the biggest one out of the others which serve drinks & snacks. This beach is about a 10 min walk from the hotel, & has plenty of sun loungers with grass parasoles, but are chargeable for a small fee. The main center of cala d'or all closes by midnight...

Review of Sa Marina Aparthotel, Cala d'Or

Cala D'or

Advantages: Great Weather - Lots to do
Disadvantages: None

...I have been to Majorca twice now and have immensely enjoyed the experience. Both times I stayed in a small rseort called Cala D'orada. Cala D'or itself is a very nice town, with some very good restaurants and a picturesque harbour, full of a fantastic array of yachts. The nightlife is also very good with very reasonable prices. There is lots to amuse yourself once you are there. Cala D'or has some very good beaches and there is accomodation practically on the beach if thats what you enjoy doing on holiday. There is also things for the energetic holiday goer. I have for two years now enjoyed windsurfing in Majorca, with a small fantastically run surf school. They cater for all abilities with great beginner courses and fun for the seasoned windsurfer alike. There is also sea kayaking and many other water sports as you would...

Review of Marina Corfu Hotel, Cala d'Or

Cala D'or

Advantages: cheap booze, white sandy beeches, and great shops
Disadvantages: you have to go home at the end of your holiday

...Cala Do'r is split up into several bays from cala Serena to Cala D'or itself there all fantastic, With great sandy beeches, pubs, altough the main nightlife is in Cala D'or itself From sports bars like Linekars to traditional Irish Pubs and everything inbetween. It may not be as livly as Palma nova and Magaluf but what can you expect. The booze is quite cheap so you can drink to your haerts content. The streets are filled with people of all ages so there is bount to be someone there that you will like. During the day ( if you are up) there are shops full of a wide selection of souveniers and gifts for the whole family. I highly recomend Cala D'or for family's as children are aloud in some of the quieter pubs. I also recomend Cala D'or for students and other young adults as it is plain and simply teen heaven!...

Review of Cala D'or, Majorca

Cala D'or - managing to do it all!

Advantages: Lovely safe area
Disadvantages: Distance from airports and the islands waterparks

...I have grown up holidaying in Cala D'or. This whole resort is a beutiful area, with about 8 small cove beaches rather than long impersonal stretches that you get elsewhere on the island. The centre is entirely pedestrianised meaning the kids can play in safety. The centre is a mass of reseteraunts catering for all budgets and food tastes. I have never gotten tired of it and have found something for me as I have got older, enjoying the pubs and bars (although not many clubs) as much as I enjoyed the beaches and great pools when I was younger. The area is predominently English tourists as well as Scandanavian with lots of hotels and apartments to match nearly any budget - including the youth hostel! A great place easily accessible by road and quick to get to sample the "real Mallorca" away from the tourist areas, although it over...

Review of Cala D'or, Majorca

La Cala Hotel

Advantages: Close to the shops
Disadvantages: In the centre of town

...This hotel is great if you want to be handy for all the local shops, It is located in the center of town, which can make it noisy depending on which side of the hotel your room is. The hotel itself had 180 rooms, every room has a balcony which either overlooks the swimming pool, or the street. When i stayed at this hotel in September 05 we had a room which overlooked the pool, and it was very quiet. On entering the hotel you will notice that it has recently been renovated, it has seperate areas within the reception area, you can sit in the large reception area and have a drink at the bar, or go into the large entertainment area, which has various artists performing on an evening, there is also a small area that is used when you want to read a paper or use the telephone, there is a reasonable sized...

Review of Invisa Hotel La Cala, Ibiza

a lovely place to get away

Advantages: lovely,clean tidy and friendly
Disadvantages: none that i can think off

...me and my family stayed at cala esmarelda in may this year this was our second time in cala d'or me and my husband went on our honeymoon last year and we were so impresed by its beautiful beaches,lovely scenery and the pleasant people living there,that we knew it was the place to take our three children on there first holiday abroad. When we got to cala esmarelda we were so pleased with how clean and neat everything was,we went self catering as we felt it would be easier with the children.but you can go half board there too,we bought our selfs a day pass for the buffet once whitch we found was quite dear for the food you got,whitch confirmed my reasoning for going self catering.our room was fantastic we were on the bottom floor witch we needed to be because we had the pushchair(but we didnt ask for)and they had put a travel cot in our...

Review of Azul Esmeralda, Cala d'Or

Hotel Cala n Blanes - Cala n Blanes ,FIRST CHOICE

Advantages: MENORCA A LOVELY PLACE TO VISIT
Disadvantages: HOTEL A LITTLE DISSAPOINTING

...Having viewed this site prior to booking our holiday I decided that there's only one way really to find out, and that's to go!! Everyone's tastes and standards are different so read reviews but ultimately what is fantastic for one family may be a disappointment for another. Hotel; Very clean however VERY basic bedrooms, ours had a prison type metal bunk bed at the foot of two singles put together, reminisant from a scene of Porridge!!!! The whole hotel has either tiled or marble floors which was VERY noisy,even a fairy in slippers would have sounded like a herd of buffalo stampeding across the Sarangeti !! Had the rooms had carpets then this would of deadened some of the noise. Unfortunately our room was next to the stairwell so we heard all and sundry coming and going, and to add insult we overlooked the tarmac carpark rather...

Review of Hotel Cala 'n Blanes, Minorca

Cala Vinas Hotel - a good safe holiday

Advantages: Right on the sea front, lots of activities, relaxing and sun!
Disadvantages: There is not alot near by really

...As a brief summary, the Hotel was easily worth its four stars for the rooms, pool, food and entertainment! Now read on if you wish to know more! At the beginning of August my girlfriend set off on our Holiday to Mallorca from Luton Airport, rather early in the morning - and arrived at the Hotel approximately 5 hours later. This was mainly due to the efficiency which we experienced at the airport and the private taxi that had been booked for us through our agency! It took approximately 20/30 minutes from the airport to the Hotel. The Hotel - When we walked down the sets into the well airconditioned reception it all seemed very welcome and there was a nice mixture of both Spanish and English people who were on the Sofas. Being all inclusive we picked up our bands and headed onto our rooms. We had a bit of confusion trying to...

Review of Cala Vinas, Calvia

Hotel Samoa - Calas De Mallorca

Advantages: Friendly staff, balcony, nice views
Disadvantages: Out of the way, small, noisy rooms

...I have just got back from a weeks holiday in Majorca. Where, as you may have guessed, I stayed in the Hotel Samoa. The room itself is very average. It was medium sized with a double bed, wardrobe, television and a bathroom. The bed was a bit unusual - it was actually two normal beds pushed together. This was somewhat alarming on the first night when me and my boyfriend repeatedly rolled into the middle and had it collapse underneath us. Yes, it doesn't just fall apart slowly - if you go near the middle and dumps you on the floor, which is horrifying the first time! The bed covers feel somewhat like shower curtains, but once you get used to them and train your body to stay on one side it's fine. The TV is free, you can pay for a remote but really you can do it by yourself by getting up easily enough. It has two english channels...
