Cala en Cranc

A beautiful and quirky property. Lovely breakfast and friendly staff who gave us beach towels to use. Hairdryer in the room but no iron, as requested. Room was large and clean, but the bed wasn’t very comfy.

I just got back from spending two nights at The Sea Hotel. Overall, I enjoyed my stay. Pros: room had large terrace in part facing the beach, great location with a "boardwalk" along the beach with shops and restaurants, parking is easy on the street behind the hotel, I enjoyed lounging at the pool, NO KIDS!! Cons: room itself quite small, the water out of the tap and shower is salt water (or brackish) which is weird I thought, the fridge in my room didn't work, there's a safe in the room but you have to pay $2 a day to use it, it was quite noisy and almost impossible to sleep in (lots of banging noises, footsteps from above and in the hallways, etc.), beach chairs have to be reserved (and cost 15 euros a day) and "sold out" before I even arrived (I emailed the hotel days in advance to make a reservation and no one ever responded), "reserving" a chair at the pool is not supposed to be allowed but lots of people dump their stuff on a chair and leave for hours and no one says a word, I ordered a drink from the bar which cost like 12 euros and it had ZERO alcohol in it (it was a mai tai that was basically just pineapple juice and ice). I would stay at The Sea Hotel again (the terrace alone was worth it) but if they did some work on some of the amenities (and policies) it would have been a much more enjoyable stay.

Lovely relaxing stay. Room was very comfortable and clean, with everything done to a very high end property. It was a bit windy and overcast when we were there (and the pool was a touch on the cold side), so we used it mainly as a base. We had one nice afternoon by the pool though, and ate in the restaurant one evening and the food was excellent. All in all, a great stay.
