We had a fantastic stay. The food was delicious and they were very careful with my son’s allergy. Yes, the room was very out of date, but literally only spent time there for naps during the day. The staff were super friendly, working as a team. The shows were amazing, we love you Starky and Stella . Massive thank you to Ana from the star camp for being so sweet to our son. The cala is not great but we found another one nearby.

A great holiday at a beautiful hotel
The resort is in a beautiful setting, with a lovely cove and beach bar the highlight for us. The staff were extremely friendly and the service was excellent. Everything was clean but a few things would have improved our holiday even further: - another area for the evenings, as we have older children who didn't enjoy the entertainment, but there was nowhere else to sit and have a drink - all the toilet cubicles having working locks - the air conditioning in the lower reception area being more powerful We thought it was a fantastic hotel; the food was excellent and it was great to have a range of themed restaurants and evening specials e.g. sushi, baked potatoes, Mexican.

I had a clear expectation of a higher standard when I booked an Iberostar hotel. The hotel was old and run down. The range of food options was very limited and not very varied. All in all a very disappointing experience.

the resort does what it says on the tin. very family friendly, surprisingly good food (you have to kinda look for it but if you do, you can get away from just the trashy junkfood they put out for the brits), and very ample, motivated and very friendly staff. The water parks were a lot of fun for the kids, and they have other larger pools which are a bit quieter. Plenty of buffet options and lots of booze (tho sadly, only 1 type of beer!) we are not normally "resort people" but due to an injury i am on crutches and we figured this was the best we could do with the kids, and we were both quite pleasantly surprised at the quality of everything. the resort when we were there was about 40-40-20 british german other, and there was lots of people watching and accent indentifying. :) the cultural stereotypes of the tourists were as much fun for me and my wife as the pools were for the kids.

The staff were very helpful, especially in the restaurants! I'm newly diagnosed with celiac and the chefs were very accommodating and helpful walking through my foods options (special thanks to Pedro, Kun and the sous chef at the Mediterranean restaurant). Note: this resort is very geared to children. There are none to very limited options for adults. No disco, adult themed shows, drinks environment in the evening, etc. There is a beautiful beach nearby (walking distance), the one onsite is very rocky. Rooms are old but decent. There is no bottled water or iron in the room, if you want to use the safe its a daily charge! There is also no minibar in the room, again you need to pay extra (for pop, water, beer). Alcohol choices are limited, no top shelf options and the wine in the draft format is terrible. Overall it was decent. Food & staff were great but atmosphere, rooms, onsite beach were just ok.

Nice safe area with lot’s of things to do with the family. Internet access, neither connection is not well, which means no online games for kids. You have to fight for the seats near the pool if you’re not the morning person but that’s a challenge everywhere I guess. Food, restaurants and drinks are well placed and perfect. Shopping area easy to access with great choices.

Beautiful setting for this mega-hotel
The setting for this mega-hotel is gorgeous and there are some really special postcard-perfect coves and beaches with bars and cafes that are accessible along the cliff paths or via the frequent bus service that runs from opposite reception. There are multiple pools to choose from - our 4 year old granddaughter loved the one with the big flamingoes! Food is fresh, tasty and plentiful, and the staff are friendly. It’s a great hotel for families- don’t go if you are looking for a child-free environment!! There is a kids’ disco - but it’s not very well organised - the little dancers are crowded into some sort of mosh-pit in front of the stage, then there is usually a wall of parents standing behind - so we often couldn’t see our little one from our seats. And check-in is chaotic, despite the friendly staff - families are made to queue for a transfer to their room in one of only a couple of golf-style buggies, great fun to ride but not such fun if you are standing outside reception waiting for one to appear.

Nice all-inclusive within walking distance to beautiful beaches in Mallorca. Food was OK. Lots of families and children, not the best for a young couple. Nice room, comfortable.

Great for families
Family holiday with 6 and 10 year old. Room was basic but ideal for a family with the 2 sofa beds in the lounge area.The kids area is great, with the slides, bouncy slide pool and main pool. Snack vans both very good, we didn't bother using the restaurant for lunches. Only used one of the buffet restaurants, food was good with loads for kids. The beach isn't exactly an inviting one but there are a couple of really nice sandy ones within a mile

They were on top of all the little details too. Covid precautions were excellent in restaurant and all around. Staff were all very friendly, personable and welcoming. It felt much safer than it does going about at home right now to be truthful.

Good place if you are looking for a loud place
Although our stay was a bit disappointing, overall our stay was pleasant ! However this is not a place to go to if you are looking for a quiet and relaxing getaway since oud music is played during the entire day in the pool area and can be heard all over the complex! The services provided by the hotel are not what one would expect of a 4 star hotel and do not always reflect what is advertised on the website. The food is ok but not great and becomes monotonous, since the same food is served in all the restaurants with some minor variances. At breakfast only coffee is offered (instant from the machine).. if you want a nice freshly brewed coffee you need to go to the bar and if you want tea or hot chocolate you need need to ask for it separately if you can find a waiter. The "all inclusive" is a bit misleading since you have to pay extra if you want to drink a decent bottle of wine with your dinner. Last but not least the staff are not all properly trained, they do not always provide you with accurate information, and often contradict themselves. Although they have set up slots for meals you still need to queue and wait patiently in line for a while to be offered a table. If you do go, I recommend you book a table for dinner at the restaurant by the beach.

Really lovely hotel. Lots of different areas and pools.All Well spread out. Almost like a little village. Beautiful setting. We really enjoyed breakfast on the beach at the restaurant there. Evening entertainment great including cinema nights. Kids club and their reps were amazing. Totally different level Of activities and interaction with kids to any others we’ve been to. Wouldn’t hesitate to go back. Food was good but not as amazing as the rest of the hotel but I think that was due to restrictions around coronavirus. great processes and policies in place around COVID and staff were all well trained and thorough.

Great facilities but mind the noise
Hotel has great facilities and food was decent. Our room was a bit disappointing because of its location, the balcony faced some sort of service building which had a noisy fun running 14/7 so we could not sit out on it at all. Plenty of other spaces throughout the complex to hang out and relax in though. It’s VERY family oriented so full of pre-school age children in late September which can get noisy. Still, we found some quiet spaces by the less kid-friendly pools. Recommend to take a walk to Cala Mondrago beach and Portopetro if you need to get away from it all for a bit.
