This was our first abroad family holiday with our children so wanted it to be really special and for them to have lots of things to do. It took a little while to get to Cala Bona from Palma airport but once we arrived we were very pleased! Check in was welcoming and easy and we were offered to store our luggage there so we could quickly get some lunch before they closed! First thing we noticed as we approached the restaurant was that there was a hand washing station, I thought this was great! Our first lunch was quick but lovely, we were just glad at this point to have a drink and some food! We went to our room which was up two flights of stairs, my legs felt it by the end of the week! Our room was spacious, clean and everything we needed for our break. The little kitchen area with fridge was very handy even though we were all inclusive, we were able to keep a few things cool and make up some squash for the children. The balcony overlooked the hotel opposite and had a lovely view of that pool. The bedroom had shutters and curtains so was really dark. The rooms were cleaned with fresh towels almost every day, they weren’t changed one day which we didn’t realise but that was fine. I have to say that we thoroughly enjoyed every meal we had during our stay. There was always an option for the children and good variety for the adults. I especially enjoyed the different salads and the lemon ice cream was pretty good too! The staff here work incredibly hard, they are always welcoming and very happy. They never once looked fed up if there was a spillage or food to wipe up off the table, they were exceptional. The entertainment in the evening was perfect for the children and we as adults enjoyed the music too! The bar staff were always coming around asking if we wanted more drinks and quickly clearing any empties away. The local town is just down the road, about a 10 minute walk away. We ate out one night and had food Smithy’s bar by the harbour. It was the best steak we have had in a very long time! Lots of shops all offering the same sorts of things, quite a trek to carry anything heavy back though. We did one trip during our stay and went to the Cuevas del Drach. We booked a boat trip with the moonfish glass bottom boat. We enjoyed the trip and although it was a 20 minute walk from the harbour to the caves, it was a quick 20 minute walk especially on the return when we needed to get back quickly for the boat! I would not recommend doing this if you need to get back quickly and have older, slower walkers with you. The caves themselves were fantastic though made extra special with the little concert. Overall we had a brilliant stay, food, drinks, entertainment, housekeeping were all excellent. I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a break in Majorca!
