Flipflop Cala Romántica Hotel

“Much better than expected.”

Having read other reviews, was slightly worried. I can't believe people moaned about this lovely place. It's in a stunning location. The staff are all lovely and very helpful.

Having read other reviews, was slightly worried. I can't believe people moaned about this lovely place. It's in a stunning location. The staff are all lovely and very helpful. I have 2 replacement knees, I am fairly mobile, but struggle with lots of steps. When I realised our room involved quite a lot of steps. Went back to reception and explained. They went out of there way to find a more suitable room. The food in the restaurant and pool bar offered something for everyone and was very good. Everything was clean, our bathroom was a little tired. Bed was very comfortable. Easy bus ride into Porto Christo, lovely harbour and worth a visit. Weather was brilliant. 23c to 26c. What more do you want.

“Very good”

We went to this hotel when staying at another Flip Flop Hotel and wished we had booked this one. As when first seen it looks like a five star hotel on the beach. The rooms are like little cabins in the woods and the snack bar and swimming pools were truly lovely.

“Beautiful beach, food and drinks good for 3star”

Like many, I read the reviews after booking and feared the worse. The rooms are dated. Think worn mirror edges, , beds a little hard. Rooms were clean and to be honest, we quite literally just slept there so this was ifne. The resort is spread out so the main restaurant is in the building with se… more

Like many, I read the reviews after booking and feared the worse. The rooms are dated. Think worn mirror edges, , beds a little hard. Rooms were clean and to be honest, we quite literally just slept there so this was ifne. The resort is spread out so the main restaurant is in the building with sea views at the top of the beach which is lovely. The pool and pool bar is around 3-5 minutes walk in land and slightly uphill from the restaurant. Our room was 500+ and this was another 5 min walk from the pool bar. There is a taxi shuttle service woking around the site though. As we only went back to the room to change for dinner and to sleep, this was OK. FOOD Buffet 3 star. Better than the last 3star I stayed at by a wide margin. The kids loved the food. Breakfast, had lots to choose from from cooked options, to pancakes, pastries and fruits etc,. Lunch was slightly limited but still a decent choice. Dinner had grilled meat and fish options nad the nights we were there a different fresh roasted meat. We found the veggies were great - think buttered garlic brocolli, and slightly spiced potatoes etc,. DRINKS Yes, there is a blue cup for a 1eu deposit. This is a fabulous idea to reduce plastic waste and I expect has contributed to the overall lack of waste seen on the beach. Great idea. We also took thermal cups to keep drinks cool. Would love to see a reusable drinks vessel for the evening where plastic glasses are rife... We also found the local drinks good. helped by the soft drinks on tap being coke zero, sprite and fanta etc,. LOCATION The beach is gorgeous. Our kids played a lot of beach volleyball and made lots of friends. I was particularly impresed wit the older kids who were nothing but fabulous with younger ones. As the location feels quite secluded despite the hotel sharing the beach with the public, we found we were quite comfortable knowing the kids were on the beach whilst we were at the pool etc,. VINCINITY Not much else there. Easy 3-5min walk to get a bus to Porto Cristo - there is a Sunday market there. Reception has details on the bus etc,. HIghly recommend. It also appears that a lot of Germans visit Majorca, repeatedly. I never knew, We met. quite a few, and had a few evenings together. We found the German's like to get stuck into some of the activities organised by the staff like water polo. This definitely helped everyone get to know each other and socialise together quickly. Given the hotel a 4 star as for an affordable 3star getaway we had a fabulous time, food and drinks were decent and the kids want to go back .

Having read the reviews before we visited this hotel I was concerned about what we had booked. However we arrived on the 6th October and what we found was beautiful grounds that were kept very clean, lovely pool area, albeit the pools were a little cold and right on a beautiful beach. The accommodation was dated but very clean. Unfortunately we was right at the top of the hill, but the taxis that are laid on for free are hugely efficient. We ate in the restaurant all week as we went all inclusive and there was a good variety of food all week. The biggest downside was the flies. I would recommend taking a spray as we was bitten a lot. All in all a lovely place and I would go again.
