Sa Coma travel guide and discussion

Blown away by this charming small and friendly hotel situated right on the seafront. It’s spotless and truly a hidden gem. The views from room 382 are absolutely breathtaking—wow, wow, wow! The pool area is peaceful and serene, and we never had to struggle to grab a sun lounger. It’s a perfect suntrap, and with the stunning beach right out front, I doubt any other hotel could rival it. Breakfast is fresh and delicious, offering a variety that caters to everyone. The location couldn’t be better; Sa Coma is just a few minutes’ walk away if you’re up for a livelier night out. Overall, it’s the ideal getaway. My only tiny suggestion would be to add a small kettle in the room for that early morning cup of tea while watching the gorgeous sunrise.🫶🏻

We had a fantastic 10 days at this hotel. The staff were lovely, with special mentions to Aora at reception and Honza, who handled poolside activities that we truly enjoyed. We chose half board and were thrilled with the food's quality and variety, especially the nightly dessert options. My husband has dietary restrictions (gluten, dairy, and soya), but the well-labeled food allowed him to enjoy a wide selection. The menu changed every evening, keeping things interesting. Nightly entertainment was available, with highlights being The Velvet Supremes and the African Acrobats—both outstanding acts. Our room overlooked the pool and was both spacious and spotless, thanks to the friendly and helpful cleaning staff. In fact, all the staff went above and beyond to make us feel welcome. Would we return? Without a doubt, in a heartbeat. 💗

We had the most wonderful holiday with my husband and friends. The entertainment team was amazing, especially Leo, who was so friendly and welcoming. Leo encouraged us to join in on games, and we even tried shooting. Our entire group had a fabulous time, and we will definitely be back next year!

We stayed at TUI BLUE Biomar for a week in an adults-only garden swim-up room. Overall, it was an enjoyable holiday with plenty to do within Biomar and the partner hotels. There were many aspects we really liked, but a few areas could use improvement, especially for stays longer than a week. · *The Positives** · *The Room** The room was spacious and immaculately clean, with a massive bed and plenty of wardrobe space—far more than we needed. The swim-up pool was warm, even warmer than the main pools, making it a nice place to relax in the afternoons. The room was quiet with closed doors, ensuring undisturbed rest. Housekeeping came daily, replenishing supplies including quality toiletries like shampoo, conditioner, and even dental kits. Towels were replaced consistently—white room towels when left in the shower and pool towels could be swapped daily at the lifeguard point. · *Facilities and Activities** The range of activities stood out as one of the hotel's strengths. We enjoyed mini golf and the driving range, which were included in the stay. However, these outdoor activities can get quite hot during midday, so mornings or evenings are better times for them. There were plenty of spots to relax, including libraries, TV rooms, and a free pool table in the adults area. The In & Out Lounge was another highlight, offering self-service facilities, games, a nap area, and a play area for kids, although it wasn't well-advertised. Sa Coma itself was attractive and easy to explore, with flat paths and various places to visit on foot. While we didn’t try bike rentals, they seemed popular. · *Drinks and Bars** The bars were a big plus, offering premium brands like Absolut and Captain Morgan. Bartenders were happy to prepare off-menu cocktails, such as Pornstar Martinis, which were strong but delicious. There was no shortage of places to grab a drink, and we never faced any lines. · *Food** We found the food to be acceptable overall. Breakfast offered a wide selection but became repetitive over the week. For lunch, the grill near the swim-up rooms was convenient, serving typical fare like burgers and kebabs daily, which might get monotonous over a longer stay. Dinner was more varied due to themed nights, though preferences for certain cuisines could limit your options on specific evenings. For us, the sweet and sour on Asian night and steak on gala night were standouts. The à la carte restaurants were of noticeably higher quality and worth booking. While snacks were available during the day, they weren’t entirely to our taste, though this is a minor personal preference issue. · *Things That Could Be Improved** · *Adults-Only Pool Atmosphere** The adults-only area was very quiet, without music, which may appeal to those seeking tranquility. However, we found it too subdued and preferred the livelier activity pool. On a positive note, there were plenty of sunbeds, and reservations didn't cause any issues. · *Cold Pools** The main pools were quite cold for our liking, which led us to use our private swim-up pool more than expected as it was noticeably warmer. · *Minibar and Swim-Up Room Setup** The minibar lacked beer, which limited the convenience of having a swim-up pool. Additionally, only powdered milk was provided, which wasn’t to our taste. Also, for tea lovers, getting fresh milk required a walk to another area depending on pool opening times. The bathroom design in the swim-up room could compromise privacy. If the door was left open, the toilet area was visible, requiring closed curtains. Additionally, housekeeping didn’t adhere strictly to the "Do Not Disturb" sign, which may affect those preferring lie-ins. · *Heavily App-Based Hotel** Much of the hotel’s information is app-based, which could be an issue for less tech-savvy guests. Physical signs and maps weren’t always clear and sometimes added confusion, especially given the hotel's large size and complex layout. For example, features like "The Room," a mini escape-room experience, weren’t well-advertised, and we only discovered it by actively exploring. · *Partner Hotel Use** Using partner hotel facilities lacked clear guidance, and it felt strange without wristbands or identification to indicate access permissions. · *Spa and Farm** While the individual treatments were enjoyable, the spa circuit was poorly explained, leaving us unsure of how to use the facilities effectively. The farm, while a novel idea, was disappointing. It didn’t offer much interaction with the animals, and the setup, including electric fencing and limited shade, left us underwhelmed, though the animals seemed to have water and fresh hay available. · *Smaller Room Issues** The bed, though large, felt a bit hard for our preference. The shower pressure was underwhelming, and it was slightly tricky to adjust the temperature. · *Overall** We enjoyed our stay at TUI BLUE Biomar, with highlights including the clean and spacious room, private swim-up pool, a variety of facilities, partner hotel options, great drinks, and friendly staff. However, the cold main pools, subdued adults-only area, repetitive food options, sparse minibar, app dependency, confusing layout, and disappointing farm experience were negatives. For us, a one-week stay felt ideal; a longer visit might have made the food options feel too repetitive unless more à la carte or partner hotel dining was utilized. Future visitors would benefit from researching the hotel facilities in advance, as some features can be easy to overlook due to inadequate on-site communication. While the hotel has a lot to offer, better organization and clearer information would significantly enhance the experience.

Upon arrival, the check-in process was prompt. Our room was clean and spacious, which was a positive start. However, the food was quite average and nothing noteworthy. I had an issue with undercooked burgers that were raw in the middle. When I brought it up with the manager, he asked why I ate it. I explained that I hadn’t and mentioned that burgers should always be fully cooked. His response was dismissive, suggesting it might be some people’s preference. When I said I didn’t inform the cook because of a language barrier, he mentioned he would handle it. Unfortunately, this incident put me on alert about food safety, as I have a background in food service. The hotel itself is clean and tidy, but the drinks were disappointing. Contrary to what the TUI brochure states about all-inclusive national and international drink options, the bar only served local drinks, all of which were low quality and left an unpleasant taste. My wife, who usually isn’t too picky about drinks, couldn’t find anything to enjoy here. Had I known this beforehand, we would have chosen a different hotel. The entertainment was quite poor and primarily catered to children, with magicians, acrobats, Mr. Carrot, and a repetitive mini disco every night. The themed restaurants were also underwhelming. Only the Sicilia restaurant offered table service, but it took over an hour to get our meal, which turned out to be low-quality—we left most of it uneaten. Their focus seemed more on serving subpar wine, which I found undrinkable. Before booking, I emailed the hotel about their smoking policy because I have a lung condition and wanted to avoid exposure to smoking areas. I requested a high-floor room, and the hotel responded promptly, assuring me there were only two designated outdoor smoking areas—one near the pool and one outside the entrance. They also said they would consider my health condition. However, once we arrived, it was apparent that people smoked and vaped wherever they wanted, which began making me ill. To avoid this, we spent more time at the local no-smoking beaches. To make things worse, one of the smoking areas was directly under our balcony, forcing us to keep our door closed. After a week, I had to use my emergency medication after encountering people smoking and vaping near the pool bar. When I voiced my concerns to the manager, he stated that he needed to respect the smokers, despite my showing him the email. He did relocate the smoking area from beneath our balcony, but there was little enforcement of rules around the pool. Even when the manager and lifeguards saw guests smoking and vaping, they did nothing. I feel there’s a blatant lack of respect for non-smokers, children, and individuals with health conditions like mine. On top of these issues, basic food hygiene could be improved. I noticed calcium buildup on the cutlery and glasses due to hard water. Additionally, glasses at the bar weren’t properly dried before use, which was very off-putting. I am still staying at this hotel as I write this, but overall, the experience has been disappointing. This place has significant room for improvement.

This was our second stay at Protur Vista Badia Aparthotel. Prior to our visit, I emailed the hotel requesting an accessible room for my wife. Emma from reception responded promptly, assuring us they would accommodate our needs. Upon arrival, Emma and Carmen gave us a warm welcome and were outstanding throughout our stay. The room surpassed expectations with stunning pool and sea views. The entire staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. At the à la carte restaurants, Angel at the Goa restaurant went out of his way to help with the wheelchair on a steep ramp, while Jauime at the Italian and Country Grill truly spoiled us. When my wife’s leg became swollen, Sebastian kindly prepared an ice pack for her, twice, to relieve the swelling. Even the animation team—Eliza, Theresa, and Paula—encouraged me to join in on activities, making the experience even more enjoyable. Manager Tony always greeted us warmly and checked on our well-being. The resort’s exceptional accessibility for wheelchairs is why we returned, and it’s also why we’ll be planning another visit in the future.

We spent a week at this beautiful hotel! A big thank you to FERNANDO at the reception who made us feel at home! However, the dining staff was a bit less impressive. During our half-board stay, they served tap water, and if you requested bottled water, you'd have to pay for it, but it arrived without a cap and tasted the same. Not quite up to a 4-star standard. Additionally, one staff member got annoyed and responded poorly when asked a simple question about the dining area, showing unprofessionalism throughout the following days. Aside from that, everything else was okay.

Just back from an 8-day trip here, and it was absolutely ideal for us and our one-year-old. However, I have to say that before having a child, I might not have enjoyed it as much since the hotel is very family-oriented and bustling with kids. The rooms were spotless and spacious, featuring a separate bedroom and lounge area, along with a fridge and microwave. My only suggestions for improvement would be to include a kettle and at least one bottle of water per day in the rooms, especially for an all-inclusive property. The food was tasty with plenty of variety, though it could be a tad cold if you arrived near the end of a meal service. The facilities were excellent and well-maintained. We made use of the included farm and splash park, and I appreciated the easy-to-use laundrette, which saved me from coming back to a pile of laundry. My partner enjoyed the gym every day and felt it had everything needed. The reception staff were exceptionally friendly and always willing to help. Drinks options were plentiful, though I was disappointed cocktails came at an extra charge, even with the all-inclusive package. However, wine on tap somewhat made up for it. One major advantage was the huge supermarket right next door, which reminded me of a big Tesco. Had I known in advance, I definitely would have packed less! They had everything from nappies to baby food and sun cream. All in all, we had a delightful stay and would highly recommend this hotel to families with young children.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel and were particularly impressed by how truly baby-friendly it is. The ladies from the baby club were amazing—kind, caring, and absolutely lovely with our son, who adored them! They really made our holiday special, and it was heartwarming to see how happy and comfortable he was with them. While the hotel isn’t the most modern in terms of facilities, everything was clean and well maintained, which mattered more to us. The food was very good, with plenty of options at every meal. The restaurant staff went out of their way to be friendly and helpful, which we appreciated. We were also pleasantly surprised by the quality of the all-inclusive drinks. The outdoor bar staff, including the waiters and bartenders, were welcoming, attentive, and friendly. The location was another highlight. The hotel is just a short stroll from a stunning beach, conveniently near a bus stop and the main shopping street. There were also charming local markets right behind the hotel—a delightful bonus. Though the pool water was a bit chilly, we didn’t mind much as we stayed in late September. The pool area itself was clean and well kept, and we loved that there was no hassle over sun loungers—plenty were always available without the need for early morning reservations. All in all, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this hotel to families with young children.

We’ve just returned from a one-week stay at HM Mar Blau and had a fantastic time. We opted for self-catering and didn’t eat at the hotel, using it mainly as a base, so our feedback is focused on the apartment and hotel itself. However, one afternoon we did enjoy using the pool and had a delightful jug of sangria from the bar. Despite initial concerns from reading some previous reviews, we found the staff to be very helpful and friendly. The room was cleaned daily, and fresh towels were provided when left on the floor. The apartment was modern, clean, and spacious, with an extremely comfortable bed—I think I’ve slept better this past week than I have in ages! We had a lovely balcony with a pool view, perfect for unwinding in the evenings with a glass or two of wine. During the day, we enjoyed strolling and exploring nearby areas. The hotel’s location suited us perfectly, as nearby resorts like Cala Bona and S’Illot were close and pleasant for walking to. We also ventured to Cala Morlanda to watch cliff jumping and then to Porto Cristo for an afternoon—a longer walk but made easy thanks to designated paths and pavements. For those not keen on walking, there are plenty of places nearby to rent bikes, and cycling seemed popular among visitors. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our holiday and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this hotel. It boasts a great location, with numerous bars and restaurants nearby, and we found the hotel itself excellent with no complaints at all.

We returned to this hotel after staying there last June and enjoying it so much. It didn’t let us down—if anything, it was even better! My husband and I went all-inclusive again, and we felt the restaurant's food had improved further. The replenishment was quicker, there was more variety, and the quality seemed better, which was a big plus. The drinks were excellent, with a great selection of cocktails and wine that did not disappoint. The staff were fantastic as always—friendly, helpful, and it was nice to see familiar faces from the year before. For instance, when we wanted to know the local market days, the lady at the desk found out for us without any hassle. I celebrated my birthday there and was surprised at breakfast with a happy birthday greeting and an adorable chocolate cake. Little thoughtful touches like these really made a difference. The rooms were clean, modern, and comfortable, tidied every day without fail. We only used the adults-only pool, which was excellent—no rush for sunbeds, a cute pool bar, and a serene space perfect for relaxation. The location is also ideal for us—just a 10-minute walk to the beach. Every evening after dinner, we’d enjoy a lovely walk to the beach and then return for some cocktails. The only downside for us was the theme restaurant we tried one evening. It didn’t quite live up to the high standards of the main hotel experience. Overall, it was a great holiday, so thank you! We’ll definitely look to visit again sometime.

We stayed at Playa Dorado in Mallorca for 7 days starting September 15, 2026, and had an absolutely lovely time. Our room was fantastic, with a stunning sea view that thrilled us every single day. The hotel's location is excellent: right by the sea and only about 100 meters from the beach. Personally, we preferred the left section of the beach over the right one. The fine sand and especially the turquoise, warm sea were one of the absolute highlights of our vacation. The food was varied and plentiful, including different kinds of meat, vegetables, fish, salad, cheese, and even daily fries – truly something for every taste. However, we weren’t fans of the many artificially sweetened drinks. The pool area was beautiful too, although the water was quite cold. To our liking, the sea was much warmer in comparison. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful overall. Our only minor complaint relates to the man with a ponytail at the reception, who was not as friendly as the other staff members. Still, the rest of the team more than made up for this, being wonderfully accommodating. There were also plenty of excursion options to explore Mallorca beyond the beach and hotel. Our final verdict: we had an amazing time and would gladly book this hotel again. We'd especially love to stay in the same sea-view room. 9 out of 10 points for our experience – we’ll definitely be back!

The staff were fantastic, the food was superb, and the overall atmosphere was enjoyable and calming. I would have given top marks if the out-of-order lift had been operational, as it made things particularly challenging for me.

From the moment we arrived and checked in with Monica, who is an absolute star, everything was wonderful. She’s such a lovely person! All the staff were amazing and went above and beyond to help. The hotel is fabulous, with great food, excellent drinks, and a spotless environment. I’ll definitely be coming back!

Another fantastic holiday! This marks our 28th year and 36th visit to Coma Gran, so it's safe to say we love it here. We stayed for three weeks and could have happily extended our stay. The staff remain incredible, as always—special thanks to Marga at reception, Amparo and Jose in the dining room, Angel at the bar, and Tony the manager who is truly the best. The weather was brilliant, the hotel was spotless, and the maid remembered us and was wonderful. Breakfasts were consistently great, no complaints at all. Yes, it was busy—after all, it's still school holiday season—but we had no issues with the hotel. However, as in previous years, the evening entertainment has declined. It used to be amazing when TUI handled it, and we watched it nightly, but now it's disappointing. Poolside activities were also underwhelming, but we don’t come here for that—we love the hotel and Sa Coma itself. Our son, who uses an electric wheelchair, finds the area highly accessible. We enjoy dining out at restaurants like Taste of India, Café de la Mar, and La Casita (not 2)—all with familiar and friendly staff. We also visited Juan's and Happy Too, which were great, and were thrilled to see Sillot and its re-opened bridge. We dined at Ses Ones, Antic, and Marítimo—all incredible. We walked about six miles to Cala Bona and back, another location we adore along with Cala Millor. The new burger spot there is a must-try if you love smash burgers. We ventured into Palma via bus and train—completely wheelchair accessible. A bus to Manacor followed by a train ride took about an hour and only cost around 12 euros per person. The beach was gorgeous, the sea was clean, and everything was immaculate. We’ve already booked for next year and can’t wait to return! Thank you to everyone. xxxx

From check-in to departure, everything was amazing. The hotel was spotless and well cared for, and the staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. Although we only tried the breakfast, it offered an excellent variety of food, and the serving staff were very accommodating. The rooms were beautiful, clean, and included a charming little kitchen area. The pool was a good size, and even in September, the entertainment team was active with activities. The onsite shop was reasonably priced, which was convenient. I’d absolutely return and wholeheartedly recommend it—thank you for a fantastic experience!

We arrived as a couple on September 1st, 2026, to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary on the 7th, and honestly, we have nothing negative to say about this hotel—quite the opposite. STAFF From the warm welcome at the reception, the clear explanation of how everything works, to the friendly treatment like we were old friends, the staff were simply lovely. Everyone we encountered—from receptionists to caterers and cleaners—greeted us with a smile and went out of their way to be helpful. ROOM Our twin-bedded room featured large beds, a bathroom with a hairdryer, plenty of towels of varying sizes, a walk-in rainforest shower, a TV (though we couldn’t figure out how to change its language to English—that’s on us!), a telephone, a sofa-bed, a balcony with a table and two chairs, and ample storage space including a safe for €2 per night. The luggage area was spacious, and the full-length mirror was a nice touch. While the motion-activated air-conditioning worked fine, leaving the door open was sometimes preferable despite some outside noise. FOOD Being all-inclusive, we enjoyed the availability of salads, fruit, ice cream, and a separate kid-friendly food section with options tailored for younger guests. The main dishes included pasta, pizza, various rice dishes, and a daily variety of meat options. There were plenty of cakes and biscuits, along with breakfast served from 8-10:30, lunch from 12:30-3, and dinner from 6:30-9. Everything was really delicious. Regular drinks like tea, coffee, hot chocolate, and soft drinks were available alongside wines and water. The hotel also had four themed restaurants: Indian, Italian, Tex-Mex, and Eastern. Of these, Tex-Mex and Italian were extremely popular—you get one guaranteed visit to a themed restaurant per stay (we recommend the Italian), and for additional visits, you need to use the app to check availability at 2 PM daily. It’s a minor hassle but definitely worth the effort. DRINK There are several bars available, offering a variety of cocktails. You can ask for alcohol to be added to virgin drinks if you prefer. ENTERTAINMENT Nightly entertainment is provided, starting with a kids' club at 8:30 PM followed by adult programs at 9:30 PM. The shows vary nightly and are impressively good—some of the best we’ve seen, honestly. LOCATION It’s a pleasant 10-20 minute walk to Sa Coma's shops and beautiful sandy beach. On the way, we recommend stopping at Pizzeria Salvator for a drink and a friendly chat with Juan and Catalina, who treated us like family. The beach is safe for children, and the sea remains shallow even 100 yards out. ADDITIONAL INFO · The Sa Coma chemist opens every day but rotates with other local chemists to open one Sunday in every four. · Shops generally open around 10, with limited earlier breakfast options. The earliest we found was at a café near the beach at around 9:15 AM. · The Sa Coma market takes place on Wednesdays, opening at 5 PM. However, it’s best to visit around 6 PM when all stalls are set up, offering bags, jewelry, leather goods, sweets, baked treats, and more. Overall, this was a fantastic stay. We absolutely plan on returning next year! 😁

We want to express our heartfelt thanks for an amazing week. Christina at reception welcomed us warmly, professionally, and with great helpfulness. Our room was clean, modern, and spacious, with all the essentials plus some extra touches like robes, slippers, fresh flowers, and a bottle of cava delivered shortly after our arrival. All areas of the hotel were impeccably maintained and clean. The buffet-style restaurant was excellent, offering delicious, freshly cooked food with plenty of variety. We didn’t try the à la carte options this time as the buffet met all our needs. The pool area was also spotless, and having two pools to choose from was a bonus. The staff stood out as fantastic—so friendly and polite, which isn’t always a given in some hotels, but this one has nailed it. The only downside was unrelated to the hotel: the ‘little’ train ride we took was dreadful. It was incredibly uncomfortable, showed us nothing but streets and car parks, and lasted an agonizing two hours—never again! Despite that, this is the first hotel in years we all agree we would love to return to. Thank you for a wonderful experience!

Apart from the bathroom with a shower curtain, we found nothing to complain about. The food was excellent, with an impressive variety at every meal. The entire property is extremely well-maintained and beautiful. The only downside for us personally was that, due to not being physically as fit, reaching our apartment on the second floor without an elevator several times a day proved to be quite tiring.

We stayed at this hotel for 7 nights. · *Positives** · The staff were very friendly, always greeting you with a smile. Even the housekeeping team in the corridors would say hello. · The hotel was very clean, with staff consistently tidying communal areas. · There were a variety of pools available. · No need to fight for sunbeds—there were plenty! · Free beach towels were provided, though €10 per towel was charged to your room initially. This amount was refunded upon return of the towels, so make sure to keep the receipt they give you. · Dinner was enjoyable with a good variety every evening, including themed dinners like Mexican or Asian cuisine, though lunch was less impressive. · The train stop right outside the hotel was a convenient way to explore. We visited Cala Millor on it for €10 per adult. My 2-year-old rode for free, but children are generally €5. It offered an on-and-off service for that price and ran every hour. · The beach was just a 10-minute walk away. · Nearby shops and a local supermarket were very handy. · Overall, the location was excellent. · *Negatives (Personal Opinions)** · Drinks served in paper cups weren’t ideal. They tended to get soggy in the sun if left for a while. · Kids' entertainment started too late for my liking at 8:30 PM. · Evening entertainment for kids was repetitive and not great in quality. · The kids' splash pool wasn’t located near the main pools. It required about a 3-minute walk, which wasn't clearly advertised on TUI's website. While the area itself was good, its placement outside the hotel complex was unexpected. · Access to the à la carte restaurant was limited to once. Although the receptionist said I could book again using the QR code, it never worked since my one visit had already been used. · The food, especially lunch, was quite repetitive—breakfast felt similar every day, too. Lunch became boring after a while. · The lifts were very slow. If you didn’t have a pram, using the stairs was fine, but waiting for the lift felt like it took up half the holiday. I’d recommend this hotel to anyone seeking a friendly, clean, and well-located place to stay!

Can't fault this place—we stayed in a one-bedroom apartment that had plenty of space for two people. It came equipped with a fridge, microwave, and TV. We opted for the all-inclusive package, and the food was abundant, of good quality, and varied. The complex boasts five pools, as well as a free kiddie water park just outside the gates. There's another water park nearby for €15 per person, which includes drinks and food if you're all-inclusive. The seafront is only a 10-minute walk to a fantastic beach. A fantastic place for families with kids, offering plenty of activities for them.

All the staff are incredibly friendly. The grounds are stunning, especially the pool area. The rooms are very comfortable and meticulously clean. From the moment you’re welcomed by the reception staff, you feel instantly at ease. The beautiful resort of S’illot is just a short walk away—amazing!

We had such a lovely week at this fantastic hotel! It was absolutely spotless everywhere, and the staff were incredibly welcoming and friendly. The entertainment was also really enjoyable! We stayed in room 1103, just above the reception. While the balcony didn't offer much of a view, it had sunlight all afternoon. Towels were often placed on loungers to reserve them—we even saw one couple not using their loungers until late afternoon! This isn’t necessary, as there were plenty of loungers available throughout the day. The beach is nearby, but keep in mind it costs over 30 euros for two loungers and a parasol. The food at the hotel was excellent. Breakfast offered a wide selection, including a menu on the table to order specific items along with your coffee. We also enjoyed lunch a few times at the pool bar and tried the buffet one evening. We couldn’t find a single fault with this hotel—it absolutely deserves 5 stars!

Just returned from a 3-night getaway (kid-free!) and had an amazing time. The hotel is perfectly located right on the beach, with plenty of shops, bars, and restaurants nearby. Everything was clean and well-maintained. The highlight for me was not having to rush for a sunbed—plenty were always available, with towels provided. Every room has a view of either the beach or the pool. We stayed on a bed and breakfast basis, and the breakfast offered a wide variety of choices. I can't recommend this hotel enough and would definitely return. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

We just returned from a five-night stay at this stunning hotel. Disregard some of the negative reviews; the rooms are of a very high quality. The dining room offers a wide variety of food, with plenty of options to choose from. The pool and pool bar are absolutely fantastic. The only small downside was that a few staff members seemed a bit unhappy. We’d definitely love to come back next year.

This was our third visit to this hotel since June 25, and we’ve already booked our fourth. Thank you for providing us with such an enjoyable week. Twice now, we have stayed in the Duplex rooms, where the views are absolutely stunning. While we experienced a few technical issues, the hotel addressed them promptly and without hesitation. The hotel is exceptionally well-run, with a warm and welcoming atmosphere created by both the staff and fellow guests. The food is good for a hotel of this type and notably warmer compared to our last visit. The two meal sittings work effectively, and if needed, you can request to switch times. Situated beautifully on the seafront, the location is excellent, surrounded by plenty of amenities. A special thanks to the staff: Lukas, Catriona at reception, Lupe, Alejandro, and the female deputy Restaurant Manager. At the bar, Jeremy, the newest team member, along with Ayo and Diana, were fantastic. Apologies to the others whose names I couldn't recall. We absolutely loved the evenings at Protur Playa, thanks in large part to our fellow Scotsman Jimmy. His warm welcome, humor, and outstanding hosting skills created fantastic evenings for everyone. We loved the performances, including "Want You Back (Take That)," "Rock Resurrection," and "Boyzlife," a new band for us. All the entertainment was excellent, and Emkay was a standout, putting on a great show on short notice. Thank you as well to the fellow guests who contributed to the amazing atmosphere each evening.

This was our second visit, and once again we had an amazing family holiday with friends, traveling with children aged 1, 5, 6, and 9. We used Maxicab taxis for transportation and highly recommend them! · *Location – 10/10** The location was phenomenal, filled with numerous shops and charming restaurants. The beach at Cala Bona was beautiful. We enjoyed fishing and witnessing the incredible sunrise. We also took a taxi to Sa Coma beach, a place we fell in love with on our previous trip. It is a lovely spot with plenty of shops and dining options. One word of caution—there was a vendor pushing a wheelbarrow of fruit who overcharged my friend by making her hold a second pot she didn't ask for. Lesson learned to be a bit wary. On the way back from Sa Coma, we had a frightening taxi experience when a car suddenly pulled out on the motorway. Our taxi driver’s quick reaction prevented a crash. She wasn’t at fault and was just as shaken as we were. Thankfully, everyone was safe. · *Hotel & Facilities** The food at the hotel offered a wide variety, catering to everyone’s tastes. The swimming pool was a big hit with both adults and children. Our kids loved the bouncy pillow, but supervision was necessary because some children were playing rough, which was concerning considering the younger kids there. Although we reported it, the lifeguard didn’t seem very responsive. · *Rooms** The rooms were comfortable and well-maintained. We faced a minor issue with the shower not draining properly, but the hotel quickly resolved it. Bedding and towels were changed daily, which was appreciated. · *Entertainment** Sadly, the entertainment was the hotel’s biggest weak point. It was repetitive and underwhelming, with limited variety in acts and shows. While the TUI reps did a good job, the overall entertainment didn’t match the otherwise high standard of the hotel. · *Swap Box** The swap box at reception was a fantastic feature that saved us a lot of money. We borrowed goggles, snorkels, inflatables, and even sun cream, and returned them after use. We added a few items of our own for others to use. Definitely take advantage of it! · *Snack Bar** The snack bar had tasty options when available, but items like chicken were often out of stock. This was a bit disappointing. · *Eating Out** We tried a few local restaurants based on recommendations: · *Stanley’s*: Mixed experience. The steak was chewy, the pizza was great, and the burger was average. Rating: 7/10 · *Alma Mia* (Italian on the corner): Wonderful food; everyone enjoyed their meal. Rating: 9/10 · *Smithy’s*: Great atmosphere, delicious cocktails. We enjoyed it more than Stanley’s. Rating: 9/10 On the last day, staff at the snack bar near the pirate ship were involved in a very public argument, which made several guests uncomfortable. · *Overall** Despite a few hiccups, we had a fantastic family holiday with lasting memories. The scary taxi incident was unrelated to the hotel and could have happened anywhere. Would we return to this hotel? Probably not, as our son is now older and would enjoy a place with bigger slides. But we’ll definitely return to Cala Bona—it’s a spectacular area with nothing to fault. An amazing trip filled with fun, adventure, and memorable moments!

The hotel is situated in a calmer area of Mallorca, which we found ideal, yet there was still plenty to do with many cafes and restaurants close by. Our room was very spacious and meticulously cleaned every day. We opted for a ground-floor room with a small pool shared among a few rooms, which was a fantastic touch and well worth the extra cost. The food was amazing with a variety of options every evening. The staff, especially in the restaurant, were incredibly friendly and efficient, clearing plates within seconds. Additionally, the hotel offered great facilities like bike rentals and tennis. The pool was enormous, and there was no scramble for sunbeds. Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would happily return.
