Thoroughly enjoyed our relaxing stay at the Protur Bonamar Hotel after a week’s Mediterranean Cruise. This adults-only hotel boasts a prime promenade location at the edge of Cala Bona, bordering Cala Millor. We received a warm welcome from Victoria at reception with a complimentary drink. Our sea-view room (323 on the 3rd floor) was clean and spacious, though the water pressure in the sink was a minor issue. The two outdoor pools were fantastic, and we had no trouble finding sunbeds or cabanas at any time. We didn’t explore the indoor pool area, gym, or spa. Breakfast offered plenty of hot and cold choices, and for dinner, we opted for the earlier of the two evening sittings. There was an abundance of hot and cold food options, and the meals were outstanding. The waitresses were hardworking and friendly. One night, we tried the Italian dining option. The pool bar staff were excellent—special shoutouts to MaNu, Jatinz, Alain, and Naomi. A note to the Hotel Manager: it would be great if lager were served in proper lager glasses rather than the current beer glasses. Natalie was wonderful—funny and engaging—keeping everyone entertained with daily activities and always looking out for guests. She’s a valued member of the team. Evening entertainment featured different singers every night at 9.30 pm following bingo hosted by Natalie. Andrea, the lifeguard, was cheeky and funny, with an infectious smile that brightened the atmosphere. We cannot praise the professionalism of ALL the staff enough. Everyone was friendly, polite, and made every effort to ensure a fantastic experience.

This hotel is fantastic! We stayed in a suite on the 4th floor with an incredible sea view. The location is excellent—just a short walk to the seafront and about 10 minutes to the shops and restaurants. The staff were exceptional and always eager to help, including the cleaners. Breakfast was plentiful with a great variety and tasted delicious. The bar area also serves light lunches, which we tried on several occasions and found faultless. The pool area had plenty of sunbeds, so there was no need to reserve them, though a few guests still did, which was quite frustrating. Pool towels were provided free of charge and could be exchanged every couple of days. The entire hotel is spotless, with areas cleaned and scrubbed regularly. In our room, towels were changed daily, and it came equipped with a kettle and fridge. The air conditioning was excellent and kept the room comfortably cool. This is undoubtedly one of the best hotels in Cala Millor, and I can't recommend it highly enough!

The Marins Suites are absolutely fantastic, possibly the cleanest hotel we've stayed in. The staff are amazing and work tirelessly all day, from the cleaners to the bar staff—all are committed to ensuring your stay is wonderful. The rooms are fine; they have a large, comfy bed, a small fridge, and a compact bathroom, which are perfectly sufficient for a two-week holiday. Breakfast is great, offering a wide range of options like cereal, pastries, yogurt, freshly cooked bacon, eggs, or omelettes—you're genuinely spoiled for choice. The pool area is delightful, featuring two pools with comfortable jacuzzi beds. There are always plenty of sunbeds available, so you don't need to wake up at 7 a.m. to grab one. In addition, there are luxurious beds available for €25 per day, which you can redeem at the bar. Overall, we couldn't find a single fault with this hotel and already plan to book again for next year.

Another fantastic holiday! This marks our 28th year and 36th visit to Coma Gran, so it's safe to say we love it here. We stayed for three weeks and could have happily extended our stay. The staff remain incredible, as always—special thanks to Marga at reception, Amparo and Jose in the dining room, Angel at the bar, and Tony the manager who is truly the best. The weather was brilliant, the hotel was spotless, and the maid remembered us and was wonderful. Breakfasts were consistently great, no complaints at all. Yes, it was busy—after all, it's still school holiday season—but we had no issues with the hotel. However, as in previous years, the evening entertainment has declined. It used to be amazing when TUI handled it, and we watched it nightly, but now it's disappointing. Poolside activities were also underwhelming, but we don’t come here for that—we love the hotel and Sa Coma itself. Our son, who uses an electric wheelchair, finds the area highly accessible. We enjoy dining out at restaurants like Taste of India, Café de la Mar, and La Casita (not 2)—all with familiar and friendly staff. We also visited Juan's and Happy Too, which were great, and were thrilled to see Sillot and its re-opened bridge. We dined at Ses Ones, Antic, and Marítimo—all incredible. We walked about six miles to Cala Bona and back, another location we adore along with Cala Millor. The new burger spot there is a must-try if you love smash burgers. We ventured into Palma via bus and train—completely wheelchair accessible. A bus to Manacor followed by a train ride took about an hour and only cost around 12 euros per person. The beach was gorgeous, the sea was clean, and everything was immaculate. We’ve already booked for next year and can’t wait to return! Thank you to everyone. xxxx

We stayed at this hotel for 7 nights. · *Positives** · The staff were very friendly, always greeting you with a smile. Even the housekeeping team in the corridors would say hello. · The hotel was very clean, with staff consistently tidying communal areas. · There were a variety of pools available. · No need to fight for sunbeds—there were plenty! · Free beach towels were provided, though €10 per towel was charged to your room initially. This amount was refunded upon return of the towels, so make sure to keep the receipt they give you. · Dinner was enjoyable with a good variety every evening, including themed dinners like Mexican or Asian cuisine, though lunch was less impressive. · The train stop right outside the hotel was a convenient way to explore. We visited Cala Millor on it for €10 per adult. My 2-year-old rode for free, but children are generally €5. It offered an on-and-off service for that price and ran every hour. · The beach was just a 10-minute walk away. · Nearby shops and a local supermarket were very handy. · Overall, the location was excellent. · *Negatives (Personal Opinions)** · Drinks served in paper cups weren’t ideal. They tended to get soggy in the sun if left for a while. · Kids' entertainment started too late for my liking at 8:30 PM. · Evening entertainment for kids was repetitive and not great in quality. · The kids' splash pool wasn’t located near the main pools. It required about a 3-minute walk, which wasn't clearly advertised on TUI's website. While the area itself was good, its placement outside the hotel complex was unexpected. · Access to the à la carte restaurant was limited to once. Although the receptionist said I could book again using the QR code, it never worked since my one visit had already been used. · The food, especially lunch, was quite repetitive—breakfast felt similar every day, too. Lunch became boring after a while. · The lifts were very slow. If you didn’t have a pram, using the stairs was fine, but waiting for the lift felt like it took up half the holiday. I’d recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a friendly, clean, and well-located place to stay!

This hotel boasts a superb location, conveniently situated between Calabona's shops and restaurants and the stunning beaches of Cala Millor, making it very accessible for individuals with mobility issues. From the moment you enter reception, you feel welcomed, with front-of-house staff offering exceptional service. The rooms are spotless, most featuring sea or partial sea views, and housekeeping is top-notch, servicing rooms daily. The food is of excellent quality, especially breakfast, with a wide variety of beautifully prepared salads and hot dishes to choose from. Guests are treated to one complimentary meal at the Italian restaurant 'Le Mar,' and we highly recommend the salmon and prawn ravioli. Evening entertainment at Bonamar is impressive, featuring live acts nightly at 9:30, all organized by the charming Natalie, truly "the hostess with the mostess." The pool area is serene and relaxing, with ample sunbeds available. The hardworking and friendly bar staff further enhance the experience. Overall, this was an incredibly enjoyable stay. We will certainly return—thank you, Protur Bonamar, for the wonderful memories!

Just returned from a week at this hotel. We stayed in a double sea view room with a spacious balcony. The view was stunning, the bed was comfy, and there was ample storage. The TV offered English channels, and the room included a hairdryer, kettle, and a good-sized fridge. The shower was powerful, the air conditioning worked well, and everything was spotlessly clean and quiet. The restaurant had good food and a nice atmosphere. As with most buffet-style dining, the food could get repetitive, but there was plenty of variety, and we never went hungry. Drinks were reasonably priced both in the restaurant and at the bar. Entertainment each night featured different singers and bands—most were very good, and even the lesser performers were fun to sing along with. Due to local regulations, the music can't be too loud, but it wasn't exactly quiet either. Daytime entertainment was minimal, which suited me since I prefer not to be disturbed by the pool. There were a few games if you wanted to participate. The pools were lovely. The rooftop area was very hot, while the lower pool didn't see sunlight until around 11 a.m. Most sunbeds were claimed by 9 a.m., but we managed to find some even after stepping out in the mornings. The location was excellent—right across from a small beach and a 20-minute walk to Cala Millor or 15 minutes to the harbor. There were good transport links. Cala Bona itself is a quiet resort, which was perfect for us, though Cala Millor seemed busier if that's what you're after. The staff were all delightful, and we would gladly return to this hotel.

Booking was simple, though pickup turned chaotic with two different boats from separate companies causing a rush to check tickets. The journey itself went smoothly—it was a gorgeous day. Having a few hours in Cala Millor for shopping, drinks, and food was enjoyable. The swim stops on the return trip were fantastic; bringing a snorkel and mask is worthwhile as there are plenty of fish to spot. Definitely worth the cost, with pleasant staff and a clean boat overall.

Me and my sister stayed here on a half-board basis for 9 nights at the end of July into August. We were quite nervous after reading some bad reviews, but thankfully we were pleasantly surprised as we didn’t face any of the issues mentioned. Check-in was quick and the staff were welcoming. Our room on the 4th floor had a pool view, a large balcony, and sunbeds. The room itself was spacious with a comfortable bed and a nice bathroom. The only downside was how hot it could get. With the sun on our room from about 2 pm until sunset, and outside temperatures above 30°C every day, the air conditioning wasn’t strong enough to keep the room cool. We kept the curtains shut all day to help reduce the heat, but evenings were still uncomfortably warm. While the hotel likely can't do much about the weather, installing a canopy on the balcony might help mitigate such heat. Despite reading negative feedback about the food, we had no complaints. Breakfast was fantastic, possibly one of the best I’ve had at a hotel, with delicious pastries and fresh pancakes. The outdoor seating with views of the harbor made it even better. We enjoyed dinner too, especially the desserts, and my sister, who is pescatarian, always had options. The restaurant staff were incredibly friendly and efficient, constantly clearing plates promptly. Special mention to Gabi, who was especially lovely. However, we would’ve appreciated free water or a water machine as €3 per bottle felt a bit steep, especially when paired with an additional drink. Soft drinks cost €3.30. Another concern was the availability of sunbeds since we visited during peak season, but fortunately, we never struggled to find one. Most sunbeds on the sun terrace remained empty all day, although the ones by the pool filled up faster. Even mid-morning, there were still beds available. The pool itself is small, adequate for cooling off but not ideal for swimming if it’s crowded. The location was excellent, with a 30-minute walk to Cala Millor and proximity to shops and rocky beach coves. The mornings outside the hotel were peaceful with stunning sunrise views, and the flat front made it ideal for early runs along the coast. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would happily return, though perhaps in a front-facing room to avoid the direct afternoon sun. Many of the bad reviews didn’t match our experience at all, and we truly enjoyed our time here! 😊

Our first visit to this fantastic hotel surpassed all our expectations. Viktor and the reception team were polite and helpful upon arrival, and our room was bright, comfortable, and featured a wonderful rain shower. We stayed in a Superior twin room with views of the sea and pool, which caught the sun all day and was peaceful in the evening as it was away from the entertainment area. I joined yoga and fitness sessions with Reule, and the sunrise yoga on the beach was a memorable highlight. We also enjoyed games like French boules, Kubb, table tennis, and darts with Kevin and Samuel, and attended a few evening entertainment performances. The Tui Welcome Meeting with Jan was both informative and amusing. The hotel's location is ideal—right on the beach. You can step out and take a flat walk either towards the Harbour area of Cala Bona or all the way to Cala Millor. The food was excellent, with the Gala Dinner standing out as magnificent. While sunbeds by the pool were reserved early, we loved spending time on the 3rd-floor Sun Deck, which was incredibly relaxing. The guests were mostly British, many of them returning visitors. We had an amazing week and can't wait to return!

We stayed at Levante Park for a week! The hotel is clean and modern. Our room was a decent size and cleaned daily with fresh towels. However, for a platinum hotel, we expected a double bed instead of two singles pushed together. The location is excellent, just a few minutes' walk to Cala Bona harbor and 10 minutes to Cala Millor. Plenty of shops, bars, and restaurants are within walking distance. The restaurant was clean, and the buffet food was good with lots of options and varied every night. Unfortunately, the pool area was smaller than we anticipated, and unless you’re up at 6am, you won’t get a sun lounger. Additionally, the lifeguard seemed overly strict with umbrellas, frequently taking them down. Overall, we had a pleasant stay, and the hotel served its purpose for a week’s break.

Just returned from a wonderful stay at this hotel. It's located at the far end of Cala Millor, making it a serene and peaceful spot, away from the hustle and bustle of the busier parts. I stayed in a pool-view room, which also offered stunning views of the sea. The housekeeping staff were absolutely fantastic — my room was consistently spotless and cleaned to an exceptional standard. I booked half board, though I’m not much of a breakfast person and didn’t try it myself. Other guests mentioned the breakfast was excellent, with a great variety to choose from. On Thursday, the hotel hosted a Gala Night, and the evening meal was truly outstanding! The pool area and sunbeds are cleaned daily, and everything is very well-maintained. One small drawback is the hotel's layout in relation to the sun; the pool area doesn’t get sunshine all day, and some sunbeds end up shaded for a few extra hours. However, there’s no frantic rush to reserve sunbeds, and there were always plenty available for everyone, creating a very relaxing atmosphere by the pool. The poolside bar offers a wide range of delicious food, and I want to specifically praise David — his cocktails are absolutely delightful! He’s an excellent cocktail maker who always greets you with a smile and genuine politeness. He really added to the experience, so a big thank you to him! 🍹 Evening entertainment, including quizzes, was fun and contributed to the lively atmosphere. It’s worth noting for smokers that smoking on room balconies isn’t allowed. Designated smoking areas are located behind the stage at the back of the hotel and outside the reception. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my peaceful and relaxing stay here, and I will definitely return in the future. ☀️🌊

Our first stay at this hotel didn’t disappoint! We booked a junior suite, which was truly spacious with plenty of cupboard and wardrobe space. The room was immaculately clean, with very comfortable beds, a rainfall shower, and double sinks. There was a TV with plenty of channels, though only a few main UK ones were available. We had read reviews about no kettles in the rooms, so we emailed ahead. A Nespresso machine was provided in our room, but considering the price we paid for two weeks, we were surprised that only three pods were complimentary, with additional pods costing €1 each. In over 30 years of traveling, we’ve never experienced that! Fortunately, there are nearby shops where you can buy Nescafé sachets and tea, or you can bring your own. We stayed on a half-board basis. Breakfast offered everything you could possibly want, and the evening meals were excellent and served hot. There was also a gala dinner on Thursday nights, complete with drinks and tapas in the reception area beforehand. Entertainment at the hotel was enjoyable, with singers, quizzes, and even a DJ around the pool at times during the day. One downside is that most rooms don’t get any sun, and half of the pool doesn’t see sunlight until about 1 PM. The hotel is situated in the quietest part of Cala Millor, about a 20-minute walk to the nearest bar. Beach access via a key card is just a 5-minute walk, though the beach at this end is quite rocky. Overall, despite minor inconveniences, we had a great experience and plan to return—this time bringing our own coffee!

I stayed at Ilusion Vista Blava from August 12 to 18 in room 237, and it was truly an excellent experience. The hotel surprised me in a very positive way. The rooms were cleaned daily, always spotless and well-maintained. A huge advantage was the wonderful staff – everyone was incredibly friendly, helpful, and cheerful. I would especially like to thank Anna and Tomas at the reception for their kindness and welcoming attitude towards guests. 💙 The pool was clean and well-kept, with loungers readily available. The hotel's location is fantastic – the sea is just a few minutes away. And the sea itself... turquoise, beautiful, and captivating. 😍 The beach and stunning promenade make it easy to spend hours strolling. Another big plus was the option to rent a bike and explore the area differently. There are plenty of spots nearby for walking, relaxing, and soaking up the wonderful Cala Millor atmosphere. Most importantly – I enjoyed this stay so much that I’ve already booked my vacation for next year! ❤️ My reservation starts on August 1, and I sincerely hope I’ll have the chance to stay in room 237 again. It would truly make me happy to return to that same spot. Thank you to the entire Ilusion Vista Blava team for such a lovely stay. See you next year! 🇪🇸☀️

The hotel was extremely clean, and the rooms were equally spotless as the housekeeping staff cleaned and changed towels every day. Additionally, the food exceeded expectations, and the staff was exceptionally friendly, helpful, and always smiling—whether at the bar, the dining area, or the reception. I must highlight Mr. receptionist Tomáš, who was outstanding, as well as his colleagues. I definitely recommend this place, 10/10!

We stayed for seven days (31/08/26-07/09/26), and it was possibly one of the best hotels we've ever been to. We honestly have no complaints. The little unexpected extras were wonderful and made it feel completely worth the cost. The food in the restaurant was a perfect 10/10 most days. The staff were lovely, always attentive, constantly cleaning, and quick to help with drinks or anything else we needed. The atmosphere was very relaxing, with just the right amount of activities around the pool, like pool yoga, aqua fitness, a pool quiz, and French boules near the beach snack bar. Sunbed availability wasn’t an issue at all—we even got three sunbeds at 2:30 pm one day, and the other days, putting towels down around 8:30/9:00 am always secured us the beds we preferred. The location of the hotel is fantastic, right by the beach and near some lovely coves perfect for swimming. It's also central—close to the harbor and just a short walk to Cala Millor. Our evenings usually started at the 60s music bar before heading toward the harbor and back to the hotel for a nightcap. Our room (507) was spotless, with thoughtful extras like robes, slippers, wine, fruit, and water. The bed was very comfortable. Noise levels were fine, even though we faced the entertainment area—I could sleep through the first night's Freddie Mercury performance after a long travel day. The entertainment was superb, which we already knew from staying in Cala Bona three times before. All the staff, especially the waiting and bar team, were lovely and worked incredibly hard while still taking time to assist guests. One waiter, in particular, stood out—after we doodled on a sheet for fun, we expected it would just be thrown away, but he surprised us the next night by bringing it back to us, saying it was beautiful. It was such a kind gesture. The snack bar also served excellent food and drinks during the day. Overall, the hotel gets a 10/10 from us, and we’ll definitely be back.

A great hotel in an excellent location at Cala Bona, just a short walk from Cala Millor. We arrived late in the afternoon and were still able to grab some sun loungers, thanks to the smart idea of time cards left on unattended loungers. Although towels weren’t removed after the 90-minute limit, the system seemed to deter people from reserving beds and returning much later. It worked well for us, as we’d place a card, head to breakfast, and then enjoy the loungers for the rest of the day. The rooms were modern, kept very clean, and had effective air conditioning. Our rooms (223/224) offered fantastic views of the sunrise and sunset. The staff across all departments were consistently friendly and cheerful, making our stay more enjoyable. The food at the restaurant was excellent, with themed dinners each night and a great variety at breakfast. Meals were served piping hot—unlike some hotels where microwaving is necessary—and the restaurant staff truly deserves recognition. As for entertainment, it was a bit hit or miss. However, we often spent our evenings at the 60s bar or the British pub, which suited us just fine. One minor complaint is about the lack of free drinking water or ice. There was no facility to refill water bottles, and the only option was purchasing bottled water from the bar, which was pricey. With daily temperatures around 33 degrees, most guests opted to buy cheaper water outside the hotel. On one occasion, a staff member challenged us for drinking tea we had made in our room using personal plastic beakers. We explained that we brought the tea up to the rooftop area from our rooms. Speaking of the rooftop area, we loved spending time there, but the bar was inconsistent—it wasn’t always open, and service was quite slow. Many guests chose to go down six floors to the main bar for quicker service. Despite these minor issues, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Protur Alicia. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this fantastic hotel and location to anyone. Great job, Alicia—we look forward to visiting again soon!

We enjoyed a wonderful week at the holiday village as a family of eight, ranging from ages 6 to 70. The hotel was perfect for a busy and entertaining vacation. We loved the pool parties, bingo bango, evening shows, and the variety of activities available throughout the week. The pools were great, offering both busy activity-focused ones and quieter spots, as well as splash parks and play areas. Plenty of sunbeds were available, though there was the typical early reservation of front-row spots. Thankfully, the hotel would remove towels left on sunbeds before 8 a.m., leaving a note behind. The adult-only pool offered an especially relaxing retreat. While the cocktails weren’t the best, the wide selection of drinks and delicious food made up for it. We enjoyed fresh salads, grilled meats, freshly baked bread, fruits, and snacks like kebabs, ice creams, and whippy cones. Prior to our arrival, we emailed the hotel to request rooms close to each other, and they accommodated us by placing us in block 1. While it was a bit noisy until the entertainment ended, earplugs helped, and the rooms were spacious, modern, and comfortable. The entertainment and activity team were outstanding, working tirelessly day and night to ensure everyone had a great time. Saskia was a standout, always full of energy and loved by our little girl. Lewis was incredibly funny and engaging—he could easily have his own show or radio gig. The hotel shop was well-stocked with essentials like lilos and snacks, and two lovely ladies were available each evening near the stage to do braids. The shuttle bus to Cala Millor was super convenient, taking about 5-10 minutes to reach the beach and running regularly throughout the day, except during siesta hours. All in all, this place is amazing for a lively family holiday, and we’d absolutely recommend it and look forward to returning!

We had a fantastic time at the Castell de Mar hotel! The room was clean, cozy, and offered a stunning sea view. The pool was incredible, and the food was fresh and absolutely delicious. The staff were all so kind, friendly, and welcoming. A special shoutout to Fernando at the pool bar—he made our holiday even more enjoyable and fun! We can’t wait to return!

The hotel is in a great central location near the beach and town, offering good rooms, food, and drinks. There are lovely seaside walks in both directions to the town and the castle, which features a small lookout point. A few tips: the coffee machine in the room can also provide hot water, but you’ll need to buy bottled water from the Spa next door. To use the coffee machine, you’ll have to switch on the main light for the plug socket to work. The hotel mainly caters to German guests, followed by Spanish, French, and a smaller number of Brits. The weather stayed in the 30s every day and remained hot at night. Keeping blackout curtains shut all day helps the air conditioning maintain a room temperature of around 20 degrees.

My 5-star review is reserved for Pablo the entertainer. While the hotel itself barely qualifies as a 3-star due to various issues, including problems with the lifeguard and other matters I'll discuss in another post, Pablo was absolutely fantastic. He is hands down the best entertainer we’ve ever encountered. Frankly, the hotel doesn’t deserve someone as incredible as him—Pablo is a solid 10/10!

Overall: I can’t emphasize enough how much we loved this hotel and appreciated the excellent facilities and entertainment for both us and our 8-year-old. The food was fantastic (see photos)—a clean, well-managed hotel in a serene and appealing location. I’d gladly visit solo or with family as it offers plenty for kids of all ages. Most guests were French, Italian, and German, along with some delightful British families. Not overcrowded with rowdy groups, which we liked. I noticed one highly critical review online, but our experience was very different, suggesting their experience was an outlier. Rooms: The rooms are spotless and cozy, with stylish furnishings, firm beds, and comfy pillows. Though I’d prefer two separate pillows instead of one long one. While Jet2 photos showcase fully modernized rooms, there are some variations in the refurbishment. Our room was clean and comfortable, with updated essentials such as functioning air conditioning and a TV. However, certain older features persisted, like worn bathroom details, yellowed switches, and the absence of USB sockets (refer to photos). A fan speed button fell off during our stay, but the staff promptly fixed it within a day. While the room was fine for sleeping, it wasn’t as sleek as the pictures suggested. Late checkout seems hard to arrange, but there’s a shower room (no air conditioning) available. However, improvements like towel hooks or partitioning the shower and toilet areas would make it more convenient. Food and drink: Having experienced food-related illnesses abroad, I’m meticulous about food safety when choosing a hotel. The food here was fantastic and, importantly, safe. The main restaurant can get busy, and it would help if parents kept toddlers from running around or self-serving at the buffet, but that’s more of a parenting issue than a hotel one. The buffet variety changed daily, and several dishes were freshly prepared. Hygiene appeared excellent, and I confidently ate salads and drank beverages with ice without issue. The hotel also has a pizza restaurant and a Tex-Mex, though we only sampled Tex-Mex snacks. Drinks come in reusable plastic cups swapped with a card system—some might find it inconvenient, but it keeps the venue clean. We always got drinks with ease, including decent spritzers and beers. Pools: With three spacious pool areas and plenty of loungers available throughout the day, finding a spot was never a problem. The children’s splash and slide area exceeded our expectations. It was also a peaceful place for sunbathing while the kids played. Our 8-year-old had a blast and made friends quickly. Pool towels are provided by the hotel for a deposit, which is a big help when packing light. Location: The hotel occupies a large corner plot directly facing the beach. The surrounding area is quiet, leafy, and feels like a private cove. The lack of street sellers was refreshing, and most visitors were guests from the three nearby hotels in the area. Good road links connect you to bigger resorts if you crave a change of scenery. Several affordable shops are within walking distance, though the area lacks a central resort hub. For more activity, Cala Ratjada, offering a bigger beach, marina, restaurants, shops, and nightlife, is only about 10 minutes away. It’s accessible via a contactless-pay bus stop near the hotel or a €10–15 taxi ride. Beach: Simply breathtaking! It’s sandy and directly across the road—practically no distance at all. Many guests bring pop-up tents or shades, and loungers can be rented. The water is crystal-clear on calm days, though large patches of seaweed are present, unlike Jet2's overly pristine photos. On windy days, the water may look less appealing, so aim for a calm day to visit this stunning spot at its best. Entertainment: The hotel offers a wealth of activities with a clear schedule. Facilities include tennis courts, a splash pad with slides, a children’s play area, mini-fairground rides, free mini-golf, pool and table tennis, an arcade, a gaming room, and a well-equipped gym. Paddleboards are available to rent for about €16. There’s so much to explore within the hotel grounds that you could easily enjoy a different pool each day without ever feeling stuck. Jet2 transfer time: The only downside that may prevent us from returning is the Jet2 coach transfer. Though advertised as two hours max, it took over 2.5 hours—longer than the flight! This makes the hotel less ideal for a short Majorca break. After waiting at the terminal for the coach to fill, it went to Porto Cristo and Cala Millor before passing our resort to drop off at further destinations, only circling back to us. Despite an early landing before 11 pm, we didn’t reach our hotel until after 2:30 am. The return transfer, however, took just 1.5 hours—proof the route can be improved. Another family shared a similar experience with an even longer transfer. Though this is an issue with the tour operator and not the hotel itself, it was frustrating enough to discourage us from rebooking. We recommend arranging a private transfer with Jet2, though that might raise costs. Despite the transfer, I’d return without a second thought if this issue gets resolved.

Great location! This is the third Hipotel I've stayed at in Cala Millor. The rooms were lovely and cleaned daily. I had a street view, opposite a nightclub, but it didn’t bother us at all. The hotel was spotless, and the staff were very friendly—most of the guests were German, primarily older couples with not many kids, possibly because schools have already started in Germany. The bar staff were fantastic, always serving with a smile, and evening table service was a nice touch. Although I only stayed for four nights, the entertainment I saw was enjoyable. Free towels, a clean pool, and plenty of loungers to go around added to the positive experience. I upgraded to all-inclusive, and the food was impressive. Breakfast offered a good variety, including salads, meats, cheeses, daily paella, and a great selection of tapas for dinner entrees. The dining room was impeccably clean, and drinks were served quickly without needing to ask. I would gladly stay here again, either with family or solo. It felt like a very safe resort. Mostly German tourists give it a nice, relaxed vibe. The hotel is conveniently located just a minute from the main strip and two minutes from the beach.

A beach you might overlook in favor of smaller coves, but it's actually very beautiful. It has everything you need and stretches out for a long distance, popular among couples and families. Plus, the nearby town of Cala Millor offers plenty of amenities. Parking near the beach can be tricky, but as soon as you move a bit away, it's much easier to find. Recommended.

We just spent 4 days at Hotel Atalon. The location is superb, nestled between Cala Millor and Cala Bona Harbour. Check-in was warm and hassle-free, and the restaurant and bar staff were equally kind and accommodating. The pool area was fantastic—relaxing and with a spa-like ambiance, which we absolutely loved. Our room was spacious and spotless, though storage was limited. As two women traveling, we would have struggled if our stay had been longer than four days. Additionally, the air conditioning could have been better. Breakfast offered a great variety, but we were disappointed with the dinner and opted to eat out each evening. The reception area was tranquil and a pleasant place to sit. The beach club next door serves delicious food, albeit a bit pricey, but it’s worth visiting for lunch or dinner at least once during your stay. While we’d return for a weekend or a week, we’d hesitate to book a longer holiday due to the storage, air conditioning, and food issues. Still, this hotel is great value, and we’d definitely recommend it.

Spent 10 days here and absolutely loved it. The hotel was spotless, with a great selection of food and a fantastic location. We stayed in room 405, which offered the most stunning sunrises. Though the room wasn't large, the beds were super comfy, and the balcony was perfect for enjoying a glass of wine. There were plenty of shops and great bars within walking distance. We had a lovely steak at Stanley’s, overlooking the sea. Two beaches were nearby, but the larger one in Cala Millor was better, just a 20-minute walk away. The crystal-clear waters were amazing, and 16 euros for two sunbeds, an umbrella, and a safety deposit box seemed like good value. We’d definitely return and want to thank the staff for making it a great holiday!

Recently, we stayed for seven nights, half board, during the third week of August. The hotel is adults-only, beachfront, and offers spacious rooms. The buffet is excellent, featuring themed nights and a complimentary visit to the à la carte restaurant during your stay. The hotel also includes a spa and jacuzzi. Entertainment was outstanding, with tribute acts like Take That and a mix of rock, pop, and Motown performances. Upon arrival, the friendly and helpful reception team greeted us with a welcome drink. Our room, ready by 1 pm after arriving via TUI, was impeccably clean, spacious, and had an incredible view of Cala Millor beach. Daily cleaning kept it spotless. The beach is just a two-minute walk away, with sunbeds costing €20 or €44 for fancier options. The main pool is large and warm, and the rooftop pool on the sixth floor is free to use. Both pools have pool bars available. Chef Christian oversees the buffet restaurant, which offers diverse and delicious options. Each night features a theme, like Indian on Mondays or Italian on Saturdays, along with a wide array of other dishes. While guests can dine once for free at the à la carte restaurant, we skipped it due to personal menu preferences, though it looked great. The daily manager’s cocktail hour was a nice touch. Entertainment here is brilliant, expertly managed by Jimmy. Daily activities included castle walks, market visits, and live demonstrations of paella and sangria. Tribute acts, such as ABBA and Take That, were top-notch, complemented by various other evening shows. The hotel staff are exceptional—friendly, attentive, and hard-working. Special thanks to Ayo, Alejandro, Santiago, and the entire restaurant, bar, and cleaning teams for making our stay enjoyable. Cala Millor’s main resort area is just a 10-minute walk away, offering numerous restaurants, shops, and bars. Our only criticisms are the morning rush for sunbeds—despite the pool opening at 9 am, many guests queue from 8:30 am and rush to reserve spots once the chain is removed. Announcements and signage by the hotel haven’t resolved this. Additionally, the pool bar is pricey; for example, a toastie with one slice of bread, a pasta dish, and two Fantas cost us €29. A nearby Spar and Le Mans restaurant provide better value for lunch options. Overall, we had a fantastic holiday and would love to return. The hotel is outstanding—thank you for the great experience!
