Hotel Ilusion Vista Blava

“Cala Millor is gorgeous”

I don't know why people feel like this hotel is awful and feel the need to give it a one-star. The hotel itself is basic but good, the food is good (choices very every night and there's plenty on offer for everyone), the bar is good, the pool is good and the rooms are just fine.

I don't know why people feel like this hotel is awful and feel the need to give it a one-star. The hotel itself is basic but good, the food is good (choices very every night and there's plenty on offer for everyone), the bar is good, the pool is good and the rooms are just fine. It's not a 4 or a 5 star hotel, it's a 3 star, so you go there without expectations of grandure. We stayed here for a week, and I can honestly say it was lovely. The staff are brilliant. Laying on coffee and tea facilities if you're checking out in the early hours of the morning was a particular highlight of just good hospitality. So if you're on a budget, you fancy a hotel that does what it says on the tin and is just a 5 minute walk from basically everything in Cala Millor, then you can't go wrong with this hotel. Ignore the bad reviews. People just expect too much from a 3-star hotel. The only downside which i feel I should mention is the transfer to the airport from this hotel. Where the hotel is situated a coach can't get down to it due to the narrow roads with cars parked either side, so it drops you off a 3 minute walk away up the street next to another hotel called the Tropicana. It's not the hotels' fault, of course, but it's just a bit annoying.

Had a lovely holiday and will try to be constructive. Booked with Jet2 and the drop off point for the Hotel is a couple of hundred yards down the road. This is not the Hotels fault but Jet2 should explain this on their site as people with mobility issues or young kids could struggle especially if the drop off is late and it is dark. When we checked in the Receptionist was friendly. We had to pay the tourist tax as expected but was charged almost €40 for the use of the safe in the room,also bare in mind it’s an old safe which they give you a key to and not one where you create a pin,so you need to carry the key with you. The cleaning staff are very good and clean your room every day. Got to room on the 4th floor via a small lift which takes 4 people. The room was relatively small and is very basic, classed as a double with 2 singles pushed together. Not a great deal of storage space. The bathroom was a decent size but the lighting wasn’t very good. Be warned if you like a hot shower take it in the morning, if you take one in the evening it’s not even lukewarm warm. The balcony overlooked the pool but the railing was loose and wobbled, not very safe. The Food is not the best, and becomes repetitive after a few days. Unless you go in when the restaurant opens it’s not always hot. They do put food out at breakfast ie cheeses and hams and they seem to stay out uncovered all day. They shut down and snacks aren’t always available only at certain times. The Bar opens at 10 and is open all day until midnight with a poolside bar as well. The choice of drinks is ok but only 1 beer. The staff do work hard and try their best. The entertainment is non existent, you have two gents who wear entertainment shirts but just seem to be glass collectors. When they put a disco on, they put a playlist on a laptop and just leave it at that. All in as I stated we had a lovely holiday, but we spent a lot of time out of the Hotel in Cala Millor. Would I come back to this Hotel-No. If I went back to Cala Millor I would stop somewhere else. This Hotel is a budget Hotel and is closer to a 2* rather than a 3*, it needs updating, but saying that was very busy with multi national clients.
