Cala Bona Hotel Guide - 4 stars Hotels in Cala Bona, Spain

This is a lovely family hotel on the coast a short bus ride away (approx 10mins) from a beautiful sandy beach. There are a selection of pools, one large family 'beach' style pool which has very shallow water at 2 edges leading into a deeper pool which goes up to about 1.9m deep. Adjoining this is a shallow toddler pool. There was a quieter round pool, a small baby pool and water park. The water park is ideal for children up to about 8 years - much older and they would get a bit bored. There are plenty of sun loungers although these were packed so tightly together around the main pool and water park that you could hardly move. However if you move away from the pool side onto the grassed area then there was more room to spread out. The indoor pool was closed when we visited - open in May and October. There was also a spa for >16yrs which looked beautiful but we didn't test it out. The rooms were amazing, clean bright and airy. Our 1 bedroomed apartment had 2 sets of sliding doors onto the balcony - pay extra for a view if you can. There was a free safe which was easy to use, and free wi-fi but this was very poor in most areas. The food had a good selection, the desserts could have been a bit more imaginative and were mostly frozen ones bought in. Plenty of choice of drinks soft and alcoholic. Great entertainment for the kids (in english and german)and the staff work really hard to keep them engaged. An expensive but enjoyable family break.

Nice hotel and very good staff. The rooms, however, are not soundproofed and so you can hear conversations and movements from the rooms next door. The hotel has some bikes which you can use free of charge, which is great for a bit of exploring. The hotels is very quiet so you need to walk into town if you want some atmosphere. If you are travelling to this hotel you need to go by taxi or minibus. The coaches will not take you to the hotel (which the coach operators don't tell you). Overall an enjoyable stay and great if you just want to chill out during the day without any disturbances.
