Overview of Hotel Club Es Talaial
Hotel Club Es Talaial was built in 1984 and last renovated in 2007, and its buildings follow the Ibicenco architectural style, a traditional look associated with neighbouring Ibiza. Operated by Hoteles RR S.L., the 3-star aparthotel sits on Avinguda d'es Fortí in Cala d'Or, a resort town on the south-east coast of Mallorca within the municipality of Santanyí. It is a property built around families and self-catering holidays rather than a city-style hotel stay.
The complex is large for its category, with 253 rooms and apartments spread over five floors, one restaurant and one bar listed on Traveloka. What sets it apart is the location: the small cove of Caló des Pou is roughly 0.1 km away, and Cala d'Or Marina is within about a five-minute walk. Guests therefore get a quiet, residential setting with a sheltered swimming cove on the doorstep, while the restaurants and shops of the marina remain easy to reach on foot.
Traveloka's listing describes it as a family-friendly aparthotel, and the facility list on Traveloka reflects that, with a kids club, a children's pool, a waterslide, a game room and children's games alongside an outdoor pool, a spa with a steam room and a fitness centre. Check-in starts at 15:00 and check-out is at 11:00.
Room and Apartment Types at Hotel Club Es Talaial
According to Traveloka's listing, all 253 units are air-conditioned and come with flat-screen televisions, cable programming, free WiFi and private furnished balconies. Bathrooms have either a bathtub or a shower, along with complimentary toiletries and a hair dryer. The official Es Talaial website groups its accommodation into studios, apartments and suites; the categories below are listed bottom-up as the official site presents them. The exact units on sale for your dates are shown on the Traveloka booking page.
Studio
The standard studio is the entry-level unit and is designed for up to two adults and two children, with a double bed and a sofa bed. The official site lists a terrace or balcony, a private bathroom, air conditioning and heating, a wardrobe, satellite TV, a telephone, a refrigerator and a microwave, and an in-room safe that carries a charge. It suits couples or a small family who mainly want a base for the beach.
Superior Studio
The superior studio has the same capacity of two adults and two children, with either two beds or a double bed plus a sofa bed depending on the unit. The official site notes that these studios are located on the second floor, have pool views from the terrace, and include a kitchenette equipped with an electric kettle, cookware, a refrigerator and a microwave.
Standard Apartment
The standard apartment sleeps up to three adults and two children. The official site lists a microwave and refrigerator rather than a full kitchen, plus a terrace or balcony, air conditioning, heating and satellite TV, which makes it a step up in space from the studios for families who do not plan to cook much.
One-Bedroom Apartment
The one-bedroom apartment takes up to three adults and one child, with two single beds in the bedroom. According to the official site it has a full kitchen with a stovetop and oven, an independent entrance and a terrace or balcony, so it works well for longer stays when guests want to prepare their own meals.
Superior One-Bedroom Apartment
The superior one-bedroom apartment has the same capacity of three adults and one child, single beds, a kitchenette and pool views. The official site mentions that ground-floor units in this category have a terrace with hammocks.
Two-Bedroom Apartment
The two-bedroom apartment is the largest apartment category, with space for up to four adults and two children. It has a kitchen without an oven and, as the official site notes, is not available on the ground floor, which is worth knowing if anyone in your group prefers to avoid stairs.
Suite
The suite has two bedrooms, a living area and a sofa bed, and sleeps up to four adults and one child. The official site lists a minibar, ambient lighting and a shower among its features, and marks the suite as an exclusive of its own direct website, so it may not appear among the room options on Traveloka. Check the listing for the categories available to book.
