Cala dOr
This attractive aparthotel is situated in the heart of Cala d'Or in a quiet side street, yet just steps away from the pedestrian area of the city centre with its numerous shops and the beach of Cala Gran. The famous marina with its large variety of restaurants, bars and cafés can be reached within a short stroll. The island capital of Palma and the international airport are about an hours' drive away.

Excellent!
Just got back yesterday from a week at this hotel on AI basis. Location is fantastic, a very short walk (5 mins) to the Cala Gran beach, and is also very close to the centre of Cala d Or. I found all the staff to be very friendly, from the warm welcome at reception to the dining staff, bar staff, the maids and maintenance staff, everyone had a smile and said hello. The food and drinks were of a very good quality with plenty of choice and the entertainment on a night was enjoyable. I found the room to be very comfortable and the maid cleaned daily. Good hotel, with good staff, good location, good weather…..great holiday! Would definitely return.

5* Animation Team
Me and my Fiancée visited for a week in September. We had an amazing holiday, location is right next to the beach and only a few minutes walk to the main square.
The main stars of this hotel are the animation team! All of them were so friendly and were great at getting people involved. They always made an effort to speak to us, even if we just bumped into them around the hotel. We tried most of the activities and had so much fun. Big massive thank you to José, Donovan, Erwan and Issam. You guys made our trip very memorable :)
The activities also weren’t too child focused which was perfect for us as we’re a childless couple.
Pool area was nice, all inclusive cocktails were perfectly fine. They do come out of a machine but they are nice. The premium cocktails are made by the bar staff and are incredible. Quite a few sun loungers were broken, the backs did not go up and stay in place. But these were placed at the back. However, we did often sit on a bed and realise it was broken which was a shame.
There was enough selection of food that there was something for everyone. We ate in the hotel more than we ate out.
We would definitely return.

Fantastic holiday, lovely staff, good location, shame about the food!
Lovely hotel in an amazing location! It’s right in the middle of everything, with beaches, bars, shops and restaurants all within easy walking distance. All of the staff, from reception and the bar staff to the animation team, were incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. Online check in is a bit of a faff.
The pools were great and there were always plenty of sunbeds available, which was a big plus. Our room was a little run down and could probably do with some updating, but it was cleaned really well every day and the cleaners were lovely and friendly.
For a 3-star hotel, you really can’t complain about the facilities and overall experience. Unfortunately, the food was by far the biggest downside for us. I found the buffet food very disappointing and, honestly, barely ate anything from it despite trying to find something I liked. We ended up eating out for most of our meals instead, which was a shame when we had booked an all-inclusive holiday.
That said, the hotel itself, location, staff and overall atmosphere were fantastic, and we still had an amazing holiday. Despite the food, I would definitely return! ❤️
Food lets this hotel down big time!
The location of this hotel is fabulous. I’d booked the wrong rooms and staff were accommodating and helpful in getting us apartments. The hotel is clean, the staff friendly and helpful. The food is dire, I’d been twice before and although basic previously it’s got considerably worse. The food is tasteless, the menu awful and choice minimal. I’d stay again but only for the location and comfortable accommodation, we ate out quite a bit.

Great hotel, but very poor food
Booking into the hotel was very confusing, not very helpful friendly staff, then Emi appeared, we was originally booked into a third floor room and there was no lift, 2 women with dodgy knees didn’t have a hope in hell getting our luggage up 3 flights of stairs, Emi got our room changed, we had a lovely room looking over the swimming pool, with a lift up to our room. Our room was kept very clean by the housekeeping staff. Location was amazing 3 minutes to the beach, and about 5 minutes to the local restaurants and shops. Know the big downfall of the hotel, the food, it was awful, I know there are different tastes in food but the choice was very limited, all the all inclusive holidays that I have been on has a lot more choice, we was there for 7 nights and had to pay to go out for food 4 nights, the food was very limited I lived off of cheese rolls, chips and olives. There was pork served every night, everyone I spoke to said how the food let the hotel down, which is such a same because the hotel is really lovely, but the food is a big part of your holiday. The euro you have to pay for your cup is a very good idea, there are no cups or plates cluttering the tables. I would love to return back to this hotel, but the food really needs to improve.
