The staff were really lovely and fun. The nightly shows were worth attending! The breakfast buffet was basic but still reliable. The dinner buffet was disappointing. Overall we a had a nice time - with the Beach only being a 5 minute stroll away.

Didn’t get what I paid for and the room was mis-advertised. During booking, I paid extra for a double bed but was given two beds pushed together. The room was meant to be soundproof but the noise from the entertainment every night was so loud it was impossible to sleep before they finished at 11pm. The room was near a lift which woke us up every morning. No support from staff when we complained about these things and were essentially told to just deal with it. I’ve been in touch with the hotel since to discuss a partial refund and not had a response. Pros: breakfast was nice, hospitality and cleaning staff were all really nice. Good location near the town. Pool was lovely.

I was in room 122 which was very Large. The only downside to this room and others was the constant noise from an outside source, i.e Noise was coming from a Pump/Extractor of some description. I found this a bit annoying but decided not to complain as the benefits of such a large room make up for the disruption.

The property is really close to all the shops and restaurants, it's also walking distance from the beach. I liked the entrance with the patio, the table and the chairs, really nice to enjoy a meal or a drink outside. You can tell that it's an old house, for what I paid honestly I was expecting a bit more.

Das Personal ist sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit! Die Zimmer sind schön, modern und sauber. Das Treppenhaus und die Gänge sind schmuddelig und der Bodenbelag löst sich überall. Die Lage des Hotels ist für jegliche Art von Ausflügen sehr gut gelegen. Das Essen ist nicht gut. Frisch gekocht werden am morgen nur die Eier und pancake, am Abend Fleisch und Fisch. Alles andere ist Fertigware für Großküchen und Kantinen, selbst das Gemüse und der Salat. ☹️ alles in allem ein nettes Hotel aber keine 4 Sterne 🌟

Posizione eccellente… esci dall’albergo e sei sulla spiaggia di Cala Galdana . Per la sera e’ necessaria l’auto perché nella zona non c’è nulla solo qualche pub e qualche ristorante ma la vita serale finisce presto 😅.

Bien dans l’ensemble fait le job et surtout bien placé pour la plage et accès aux transports. Les chambres sont suffisante à mon goût une petite rénovation serait bienvenue. La nourriture est correct, le personnel est vraiment super top. Je recommande cet hôtel.
