“hol 2012”

★★★★★

written by Holly14 on 23/04/2012

We have been here several times although this was our first time all inclusive, food was excellent at all times and staff friendly and helpful at all times. The hotel room was very clean, but as we were there in april the room was very cold at night and our heating did not work, maid came in every day to make beds and leave clean towels only problem was she moved all our personal belongings each day and left our balcony door open which was very annoying as we were on the first floor....anyone could have got into our room,being all inclusive they still charged us 20 euros for remote control for tv and also charge for wifi, very hard to get a sunbed at the pool unless you are down at 8am.Entertainment in hotel was very poor especially as we had our 14 year old daughter with us, she was totally bored....Most places closed down or shut for season.....dont holiday here in april as theres nothing to do, especially if you have teenagers,hotel very noisy as guests banging doors and very noisy above rooms. i would not reccomend this hotel to anyone with children especially teenagers and definately dont go in april, we definately wont be back. again.

“the cala gran”

★★★★☆

written by allison1563 on 08/09/2011

I went to cala gran in 2008 and we booked a studio at the cala gran. I have to say the studios were very basic, however they were quite spacious compared to some studios that I have stayed in before, it was also kept very clean, and I found the cleaners very friendly too. I loved the pool, and the surrounding area, it was very peacefull and cool under the trees. I also liked the fact that this hotel was only afew minutes from the beach and close to the town centre aswell. I liked the fact that alot of places were close by like pubs and restaurants yet there was no loud noise or disturbances at night time. The staff were extrememly friendly and always said hello when they passed by. I really cant find anything wrong with this place, and the added bonus is that the beach is so close by. I was looking for a nice chilling holiday and this is what I got when I came to cala gran hotel, it was a very pleasant stay I really can not fault it. I loved the relaxed atmosphere of this place and cala gran beach is absolutely beautifull too. I would recommend this hotel if your looking for a relaxing holiday, yet have all your restaurants, shops, pubs,near by.

“this is our 3rd year here and the worst year here! 3...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 25/08/2010

this is our 3rd year here and the worst year here! 3 adults and 1 child in a room for 2 with rusty bunk beds.No view with rafia fencing to stop people looking in from road!very dingy without the sunlight and only 3 sidelights in room[2026].Went to get lilo from our room on day 4 and was told not to come into our room by very rude cleaner who continued to mutter under her breathe as i ignored her ORDER.moved rooms to 2128 very nice but should have had at start of holiday.The night man on reception very rude and carried a police batton god knows why as there was no trouble at hotel but he hated kids which was obvious!!food was cheap and bland.Drinks in plastic cups reminded me of 'IT'A KNOCKOUT'as our room was up the stairs,along the corridor,across the bridge,up more stairs,HERE COME THE BELGIUMS!!joke and so was the hotel.sorry.

“Returned from the hotel Cala Gran/ Cala Sur...”

★★★★☆

written by Melvyn Roberts on 21/06/2010

Returned from the hotel Cala Gran/ Cala Sur 19/06/2010,went all inclusive, had a great time food excellent. had room 2127 which was kept very clean. Booked holiday through Jet2 holidays which managed the holiday from day 1 with no problems at all. Would recommend this hotel to anyone, always plenty to do during day and entertainment most evenings. The staff was friendly and could not do enough to make sure my stay was a good one.
The food was varied from day to day with meat, fish, and salad dishes daily, both lunch time and evening. Breakfast was either continental or full English you could eat has much or has little as you wanted at all meal times.
Their is five swimming pools which are kept spotlessly clean and plenty of sun beds.
Overall a excellent family hotell

“First of all we went self catering so didn't eat any...”

★★★★☆

written by on 26/08/2009

First of all we went self catering so didn't eat any of the food in the hotel, but i had to rate so i put a 3 and hope that the food was good for other people. I have never been to Cala D'or before but loved it. The hotel was great. It was 5 minutes from a beautiful beach, which was really a small cove but plenty room for everyone. After a couple of days we found another cove which was about 10 mins away so we went there as it wasn't as busy as the other. When we booked we asked for a couple of things, like non smoking room and a balcony, we got everything we asked for. There was a kettle, fridge with a freezer, great shower and like someone else said the quietest air conditioning that worked in all the rooms! We even had a room over looking the pool(great when you have kids). The pool was nice, had separate small pool and was cleaned and tidied every day. Our rooms had clean towels every day and the reception staff where very nice. We did notice ants in some areas but we noticed them in a few other places we went to.
There where plenty of restaurants to go to, great bar that had a live band on every night if you wanted a bit more and everything shut down at 12.00 which was plenty late for us.
We had hired a car for the week which was good as we had a couple of cloudy days when it wasn't as hot so we went sightseeing on those days.
All in all we had great time and would go back again both to the resort and the same hotel.

“How any one can write negative things about the Hotel...”

★★★★☆

written by on 12/08/2009

How any one can write negative things about the Hotel Cala Gran is beyond me! The room was plenty big enough even though we had a cot in it, and it was spotlessly clean. The maid came in every day and gave clean towels, made the beds, cleaned up etc every day. The staff throughout the hotel were extremely friendly and helpful, and the food in the dining room was always hot, freshly cooked and there was plenty of choice. The hotel is located 2 mins fron the beach and there are also good pools to choose from within the hotel grounds which are also extremely clean and tidy.
After reading some of the other reviews I wasnt particularly looking forward to what I might find at this hotel, but in my experience any negative thoughts were totally unfounded.!!

“On arrival on August 26th at noon I was told that my...”

★☆☆☆☆

written by mike stephens on 14/09/2008

On arrival on August 26th at noon I was told that my room would not be ready until 1.00pm and to sit in reception rather sharply by the LADY on reception no offer of a cup of tea / coffee or even a beer while waiting, her reception skills were very poor and yes I do know what I am talking about as I used to work in the service sector and also my sister also worked in hotel reception from 1980s -early 2000s.
After getting key for ROOM 327 WHAT A POOR ROOM the only good points of the room was that it was on the first floor and a big room. On entering the room the curtains were drawn and the room very dark and on opening the curtains to expecting to find patio door and balcony only to find a small window with its shutters shut and on opening the window and shutters to find a view on to a flat roof also one of the shutters would not fully open because of fire exit stairs and with the shutters shut you needed the light on all the time. Another complaint about the room was that you needed to run the hot water shower for up to 5 minutes before you had hot water come through this was not first thing in the morning but late afternoon and the room was not cleaned until after 1500 most days one day not cleaned at all.
The bar staff and dinning room staff and the MEN ONLY on reception were excellent but the food was a let down. The soups were very watery and not cream soup at all. The cold buffet was good but the hot meal had very poor choice only 1 meat 1 fish 1 veggie to choice from and of poor quality. The dessert could also have been better and closing I did eat out a few times and found the Cheers bar and The Duke of Devonshire both excellent also The Wet your Whistle bar next to Rasha tattoist for a drink good as well also the tattooist is very good as well.
In closing I would rate this hotel as zero minus at least 3 stars.

★☆☆☆☆

written by on 13/09/2008

On arrival August 26th at 1200. I was told that my room would not be ready until 13.00 and to sit in reception rather sharply by the lady on reception all I wanted to do was go and have a rest after being up all night after getting to the airport for flight and check in. No offer of a drink while waiting. The ladies reception skills very poor and yes I do know what I am writing about as my sister used to do reception work in 1980s to early 2000s in hotels in the forest of dean. The men on reception were excellent.
When going to the room what a let down on entering the room which had the curtains drawn and on opening them hoping to find balcony no such luck only a small window with its shutters shut and on opening window and shutters to find that all I WAS LOOKING ONTO WAS A FLAT ROOF. With shutters shut you needed light on all the time, also to get hot water through the shower you needed sometimes to run the water for nearly 5 minutes. The cleaning was not usually done until 1500 or latter or not done on one day at all.
The bar staff and dinning room staff were excellent but the food very poor, SOUPS were very watery and cold buffet choice good but hot food choice very poor and poor standard. I did eat out sometimes and found CHEERS BAR AND DUKE OF DEVONSHIRE very good also just for a drink the wet your whistle pub next to Rasha
Tattooist very welcoming also the tattooist very good I hear. I would go back to Cala d'or but not use this hotel

Me and my family have been coming to Cala'dor for 6 years and have stayed at the Cala Gran Hotel every time. We are very pleased with the clean, sufficient self catering apartments and studios and we would strongly recommend them.
Overall the place is brilliant and the people are very welcoming. We will definitely be coming back next year!

“Have just returned from a lovely holiday in Cala D'or,...”

★★★★★

written by on 26/07/2008

Have just returned from a lovely holiday in Cala D'or, the Cala Gran Hotel apartments we stayed in were really good, basic and clean, the self catering facilities were excellent and the quietest air con I've ever heard. We were really lucky to be away from the main pools by the hotel as right outside our apt was a small pool we virtually had to ourself all week. The resort was wonderful too, something for everybody. We will be returning to these apartments again in the future.

Studio apartment very good We could not have been closer to a pool if it had been our own private one. Staff were very good. Everywhere clean,towels changed every time you left them out to be changed. We were pleased with our holiday. Apartments basic, but good, the choice of pools were very good. We would certainly be happy to return here.

written by robin3 on 17/06/2008

We were very pleased with the apartment, basic but fine. Towels changed when ever you needed. Always clean and tidy. Pool could not have been closer if it had been our own private pool. Sunbeds a plenty. Staff were very good and helpful. We would certainly return. We had a few bad weather days, but that did not spoil our time at Cala Gran, Cala D'or. There was no kettle, but that is normal in Spain.

“When we went to Majorca, we stayed at the Cala Gran...”

★★★☆☆

written by GINGESBABEB on 14/09/2007

When we went to Majorca, we stayed at the Cala Gran Hotel Apartments. It was terrible! We stayed in a self catering studio. It was dirty and a bit shabby. Maid service was disgusting - beds not changed once in 2 weeks and not even made. Floor swept once. The pool was dirty with tiles missing and ants crawling every where! I would never stay here again and wouldn't recommend it to anyone! I would definitely recommend and return to Cala d'Or but never to the Cala Gran Hotel!

Cala Dor is an excellent resort and I would go back. I wouldn;t select this particular hotel again though. The resort is clean and the food excellent. The water park was good also.

written by nicola01 on 23/08/2007

The bedding was not regularly changed, they turned the sheets over, the pool area was dangerous and the chlorine in the pool turned everything green including hair and swim suites. It definately is not value for money as you are very limited on what you can drink when All Inclusive.

★★★☆☆

written by holidaycritic on 28/07/2007

Upon arriving at the Cala Gran Hotel, the reception staff were helpful and friendly. The rooms were clean and the balcony area was a fair size. The bar staff could be friendly but some days were not as friendly. Food in the restaurant was cooked well, but they didn't really cater for British guests. The location of the hotel is minutes away from the beach and around a 10 minute walk to Cala Gran beach. A foul smell of sewage could often be smelt around the hotel, but was not too terrible.One concern raised was that of the pool. We noticed that a lot of the tiles were loose and many had fallen off and were sitting on the bottom of the pool, which could cut feet. Overall,the hotel was good, but I wouldn't go again.

★★★★☆

written by Jayne B on 02/07/2007

Would recommend the location but would not recommend the hotel due to the food. However they do have self catering apartments which may have been a better choice. Location was great - 5 mins walk to beach and town. Staff were very friendly.
