Flipflop Cala Romántica Hotel

“Lovely 5 days chilling in the sun and by the ocean!”

Firstly, I know there have been some negative reviews on this hotel and not going to lie, I didn’t know what to expect after reading them.

Firstly, I know there have been some negative reviews on this hotel and not going to lie, I didn’t know what to expect after reading them. Well I have to say, I don’t know what people expect from a 3 star resort but I can honestly say it was the most pleasant 5 days away that I have spent. I went away with my mum and we just wanted a few days to switch off and this is what this resort offers. The room was cleaned, fresh towels daily, very friendly staff and the food was great! There is also a shop on sight for food, gifts, etc which was v handy as there isn’t much in the area. The location is right on the beautiful Cala Romantica and it was great being able to walk onto the beach from the hotel. The only thing I would say is if you had mobility issues, it might be a struggle as the little bungalows go from 1 to 600, with 1 being closest to the reception and restaurant. We were lucky as we were at no 48 and we were close to the pool and snack bar. If you were to book and have mobility issues, I would contact the hotel firstly and see if they could put you in a closer location bungalow. They also have an onsite free taxi service, who will take you from the reception to your room. Had the best stay and would highly recommend to anyone!

We arrived late at night after almost 2 hr transfer, we were last drop off with 8 others before us, tired hungry, staff at reception opened restaurant and we were able to eat,we where taken to our accommodation by car,accommodation a bit dated but clean, plenty hot water,was cold at night but it was early in season, in daylight we were pleasantly surprised, woodland surroundings are beautiful, the beach was right outside main restaurant complex was lovely, sheltered safe to swim,however is a private beach and sunbeds were 15 euro for day,30 euro per day a bit much, but there are plenty of sunbeds at pool area,food and drinks and entertainment, staff all helpful and friendly, we took excursion to Caves of Drac,don't book with hotel, you can get local bus outside 3 Euro,15 min journey and pay at Caves 17 Euro,as opposed to 50 Euro charge if you book with hotel, Porto Cristo is a short 15 min walk from.Caves,it's pretty with a harbour, not crowde,visited Sunday Market. Food was good as we went all inclusive, local booze but plenty of it, myself and my granddaughter enjoyed our stay,I would visit again ,transfer back to airport was only 1 hour,we didn't have as many pick ups .

Just returned from the hotel after spending a few days out here. Overall, we were really impressed with the hotel and what it offers. The hotel is right on the beach and has restaurants, a bar and a place you can book boat trips. The hotel itself has a shop, a main restaurant and snack area next to the pools so everything you need is there. If you wanted to get out and explore, a bus stop is nearby to explore Porto cristo or anywhere else you'd like to go if you have time. The food was great with a variety each day. They do have some signs next to the food for allergies/intolerances but not on all so be wary and check with staff if you have any. It meant for me I couldn't really have any sweet treats as they all had milk in. They have activities around the pool and opposite the pool area (other side of road) we saw some tortoises! So look out for them. The only thing that we were disappointed in was our room. It was quite small and my bed was very hard, I think it was actually broken. The bathroom was a good size but we found lots of insects when we entered our room so make sure your room is fully cleaned. There isn't a fridge in the room we had, and I'd recommended taking an hairdryer as the one there wasn't good. Some of the other rooms did look really nice so I felt we got a little unlucky with our room. The staff are all very friendly, with the exception of one female receptionist who was quite rude and not very helpful. She failed to inform us, even when we asked, that you need to book a time slot for another room to use for showers if you check out of your hotel room but your transfer isn't until the afternoon/evening. So make sure you do that so you have a chance to freshen up before you leave. Ruben at reception was very helpful and patient with everyone and their queries. I'd definitely return though to this hotel and location and we had lovely weather.
