Apartamentos Cala D'or Playa

“Fabulous hotel”

This was our 4th visit to this hotel. Recent refurbishment is nice. The restaurant is really good offering a good selection of meals etc and restaurant staff are efficient and friendly. The evening entertainment was good overall. Our only drawback was being given a 3rd floor room with no lifts!

Just returned from a week in October, the last week of their season. Here’s some good and bad opinions on the hotel - Good - great location, 5/10 minute walk to mostly everything! Loads of shops close by for the essentials. This part of Mallorca is beautiful! Beaches/coves are stunning. The hotel pool is small (not sure you’d get much space in peak season) and there is no deep end…perfect for me, a non swimmer, as the water never went higher than chest height. Kids enjoyed the slides, they are on the smaller side but still enjoyable. Clean and decently modern apartment. Kitchen has everything you would need for easy meals. Toaster, small hob, microwave, fridge & all the utensils. Washing up liquid & cloths all supplied. We stayed in a ‘superior’ apartment & the balcony was great! Huge! We had an outside table & chairs for 4, 2 sunbeds and a drying rack. Loved it. The air con works throughout the apartment and worked well. Cleaners come every other day to make beds and change towels. The upside of visiting the last week of the season is it’s so quiet! No rush for sunbeds, they were available all day. We had lunch by the pool which was nice and reasonably priced, 4 meals 6 drinks €58. Bad - Arrived at 3am to a miserable man on reception, no pleasantries whatsoever. Really off putting for that to be your first impression of the hotel, especially at such an ungodly hour after a day of travelling with kids. The shower pressure is non existent, feels like someone slowly pouring water from a watering can on you. No vanity area to get ready, I like to take my time and relax when getting ready to go out so really missed somewhere to sit and look in the mirror. There was a mirror hanging in the bedroom but no plug near for dryer/straighteners & it’s too high up the wall to use a dining chair to sit and use it. I guess they mean for you to get ready in the bathroom but it’s just not enjoyable once someone’s had a shower - too humid. Pool freezing, I understand it’s late October so we were asking for it really but it does take your breath away. Also no floaty signs around the pool, this wasn’t enforced during our stay but I wonder if it is during busy months? Be aware they do not allow the floaties that have the netting to sit in…we were asked not to use this due to kids getting tangled. Poolside very slippy, saw a few people bodyslam the tiles. I told our kids to walk slowly & they didn’t fall…but for smaller kids who get easily excited I can see this being a problem. My husband found the beds too firm but I thought it was comfortable enough, I was cold during the night & the sheet wasn’t enough, I got down a blanket from the wardrobe but it smelt really musty so didn’t use it. We found the 4 medium towels provided just weren’t enough for 4 of us after showering (myself and my daughter need 2 each - body & hair) so we resorted to using our beach towels which wasn’t ideal. You can tell this is the last week of the season, the sunbeds are pretty dirty - well in need of a clean after a busy summer. All that being said I’ve stayed in much worse 3 star hotels, this one is up there as one of my favourites so far. I would definitely return! October is a great month to visit, we had beautiful weather, a few showers but that’s to be expected. We are home happy, tanned & looking forward to the next time!

amazing holiday , with our 3 year old and 3 months old , one of my favourite holidays to date , the hotel itself was very clean and tidy , entertainment/ kids animation team were great !! I'm sure we got given the best room there which was 103 .. perfect view of the pool .. I did email before going and paid extra for a premium room , which comes with a terrace instead of a balcony.. we were so happy with the room we had 10/10 .. Lots of local shop near by the get your shopping in and plenty of places to eat near by for evening meal ect .. I don't think you can beat cala dor , so much to do and see.. 3 beaches within walking distance all beautiful and also a marina which is a 15 mins walk or taxi cost us €6 to get back one evening.. there is also a land train that can take you around cala dor - also stops by marina .. my only negative feed back would be hench the other review , the floors by the pool were very slippy , my husband fell over and my daughter did a couple of times definitely take pool shoes and also we were self catering so on an evening we would head down to watch entertainment, I took my own can of beer down , to be told I couldn't 🤔 and had to buy from the bar Apart from that everything was perfect, would recommend , and would go back

“Avoid the third floor at all costs”

It's a lovely, relaxed place with an excellent pool for kids. The rooms are very clean and spacious. The staff is pleasant, and most speak good English.

It's a lovely, relaxed place with an excellent pool for kids. The rooms are very clean and spacious. The staff is pleasant, and most speak good English. Breakfast is recommended, but dinner is a bit hit and miss. It's situated in a beautiful area with plenty of restaurants, pubs, and small coves nearby. Stayed on the third floor - a big mistake. No water for a shower in the evening on three of the seven nights we stayed there. Complaints were met with - we can't do anything about it - no pressure from the main supply - we have contacted the authorities but ... Apparently it only affected the third floor. Compensation of dinner and breakfast on our last day did little for us. By all means, go and enjoy but don't take a room on the third floor.
