The pool is to busy. Can’t move in there. The restaurant breakfast/dinner is to loud and could really do a with a refurb.

This hotel is in a beautiful setting in a picturesque cove. The room was well maintained, comfortable and spacious. The staff we met at reception, in the outdoor restaurant and cleaning our rooms were always very friendly and helpful. Breakfast offered a very wide choice of food options. Children enjoyed the play area. Didn’t like the very busy and crowded family swimming pool.

-For travelers who enjoy lowering their standards- Beautiful lobby, terrible experience. Check-in was slow and disorganized, rooms scattered across different buildings, and basic amenities nonexistent — no welcome water, no working toilet flush, no functioning TV remote without a maintenance saga. The pool bar served overpriced cocktails that took forever to make and tasted awful. Showers blasted water everywhere before you could even use the overhead, and the “shower gel” was so ineffective my 7-year-old son complained he still felt dirty. The final insult-No iron — unless you rent one. In 30+ years of travel, I’ve never seen that. If you want a hotel where functioning showers, drinkable cocktails, and wrinkle free clothes are “luxuries,” this is your place. Otherwise, look elsewhere.

Missing soap when we arrived

We first entered our room on the night of our arrival there was a crib in the room we had not requested. Hair on the floor and a pink lipstick sort of smudge on the floor. Worst is that I noticed a small bug near headboard. Woke up with bed bug bits- classic three bites. On arms, wrist. Next morning they offered to exchange the mattress which would be the worst thing to do as this would lead to spread of contamination. They reluctantly offered another room in another nearby building. When I went to inspect the room it had not yet been cleaned, which is fine, but when I moved the night stand table there were many bed bug nymphs, same as my previous room. They reluctantly offered another room. This room was cleaner. And I reluctantly agreed but the stay was very stressful and had to be very careful with all belongings. Leaving them outside. At the end of the trip many new classic bed bug bites had developed.. coming back home was a big hassle to get rid of many belongings and “bake” all items. I have been home a few days now and I am still in fear. I hope it’s over. Pics of my wrist, other pics will not be attached as they are of other family members. On a much lesser note, very tacky that when you order the meal package they charge you for a glass of water or drinks during dinner. Very tacky cash grab is what it feels like. Dino park is very small and adult are charged- even higher rate than the child’s cost. Not worth it.

The design of the bathroom is awful, I’ve been to plenty of hotels and this was the worst. You couldn’t take a shower without the entire floor being flooded, including where the toilet stood! Also, I’ve never had to pay for use of an iron. I thought the 6 euro daily fee for an iron was ridiculous!

Everything was amazing. Such a lovely hotel in a stunning location. A really enjoyable family stay. Thank you. X

Great for families, big resort. Well located. Beach A1

We had a fantastic week in Cala D'or. The hotel is in an incredible location. Reception staff were so friendly. Apartment was beautiful. We really didn't want to leave.

False marketing: the room we were given was nothing like publicized on the site. Management was dismissive and not willing to give us a reasonable solution: we were told the only option we had was that room that was a clear downgrade from what we had reserved. We cancelled our stay, but the hotel refused to give even partial refund of the 2900 euros we paid for our stay. Expedia also refused to give us any refund, even if it does not reflect the cancellation policy on the site. Expedia’s excuse was that the hotel refused even partial refund.

Very overcrowded Hotel, with children constantly dive bombing into the swimming pool. basically not very relaxing.

Overall given the price of this hotel, we were unimpressed. We are a family of 3, with a 3 year old girl. It was impossible to get a sun bed around the pool, all towels on loungers by 8am and the staff didn’t take them off. That would be ok as there is a small water park, which had plenty of beds however it was 22 euros per adult, each day. Incredible when our little girls was only able to go on the 2 smallest slides. The hotel is next to great small beach however it is again massively overcrowded and difficult to get sun beds or even a space on the sand. The breakfast buffet was average and again overcrowded, with 20 minutes wait most days. The positives were the area is great for families, we found a lovely cafe for breakfast in the centre and some wonderful restaurants in the evening. It felt safe with a good atmosphere. The beaches are beautiful but busy and difficult to get to with prams ( no ramps). Overall I think that if the hotel was a 3 star hotel, with that price tag it would be acceptable.

Do not stay here.

Good hotel. Close to a great beach and a great cafe next to the beach that’s adults only. The hotel has a kids club. The kids club was enjoyed by our 5 and 7 year old. The 1 bedroom only has a sofa for the kids that can be modular to accommodate two kids. It’s not an extra dedicated bed for the kids. Staff was friendly.

We liked the amenities in the room, on the property and right outside the property. Our stay as a family couldn’t have been better, we would recommend to anyone.

Average stay, our bathroom leaked for 6 days (floors flooded) and only offered a room change the day before we left. Offered a 70 euro compensation to be spent at the hotel however when we purchased drinks, only given 50 euros credit- too late to speak to anybody as again this is as only offered the night before we left. Pool facilities great but overcrowded and no sun beds available from 8.30 daily. Restaurant good but little to no vegan options, no vegan options for dessert at all except sorbet twice. Friendly staff.

Sadly, our stay was very underwhelming. The hotel is still under refurbishment, which wasn’t clearly communicated. There was no pool bar, a sewage smell coming from the air con, and the lift wasn’t working—especially dangerous and inconvenient with a baby. Staff communication was poor, and there was no real apology for any of the issues. The hotel might be nice once finished, but right now, it’s simply not ready. Wouldn’t return until everything is fully complete and functional.

Property would be good but it is incomplete and quite noisy with the workmen by the pool Poor communication from hotel staff

Loved esmerelda , great location for accessibility to everything in Cala dor

Pretty sure this place was a cult
