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.

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.

Having stopped in the Cala Gran on half board basis, we were forced to eat out for 6 of the 7 nights as the meal times and the choices of food were so bad. The general appearance of the hotel is not too bad, the bathrooms in the section we were staying in could do with abit of TLC however. The pool areas are alright, however I would not recommend taking a toddler as they are very cold and deep (although there is a seperate pool near the apartments that is shallow it was the coldest pool by far). Cala D'or as a resort was good with numerous bars, restaurants (meals cost between £30 and £40 for a family) and shops catering for every taste. The beach though small is clean and tidy and the sea was lovely.

Would I recommend the holiday ?

Yes, but to be on the safe side and to benefit from the extras I would probably go to the apartments on site on a self catering basis.
