Nice place with a lovely view
Nice place to stay with a brilliant view, good food and a very good dance show. The rooms were very basic and could have been better and the hotel should give pool towels for people to be able to use the pool.

Best vacations, thanks to Blue Bay hotel !
I had no experience in this hotel and it felt wonderful ! The hotel is in good location - 10 minutes walk to the center of Afitos and supermarket. To get to the sea, you need to go down the staris: for about 5-7 minutes, but for us it wasn't an issue at all. Instead, due to the location of the hotel on the top of the cliff, it provides great views from terras to the beach and the sea !

Um.....In short.Nasty!
If you like to climbing... If you like the LONG walk to the beach... If you like nothing but basic... If you like to look around the resort and see better by far... Then this could be it! I personally felt like I had re-joined an eighties hotel that had not seen the new world. It became a wonder of delight as the staff were fun to be around. The manger was extremely helpful. But all in all I felt duped. Not what I expected. The food was a challenge. The rooms were basic. By the way THERE ARE NO! double beds available in sea view rooms. The pool bar was a pleasure to be around and the pool area had some great views. So if there was a question put to myself......"would you go back?" my answer would be..... On the second day of my visit I had become sick. Along side the cramps, projectile vomiting, constant need of the porcelain. The amount of bodily fluids lost alongside 36 degrees of heat became a challenge to the point where by I should have called the doctor but I could not reach for the telephone. Reaching for it I realised the pain in my small finger was extreme which accelerated towards my wrist. Then on towards my shoulder which was num. My lifeless body recovered very quickly thankfully. So when I look back I remember the thought of being very worried if I had to go back...I could not trust the place anymore. Can't say I enjoyed the paella P.S. If you like Angel delight and Blancmonge your love it!!! And the plastic cups for your drinks are sublime!

Perfect for a short break.
Stayed for five days. Short taxi ride to Palma , which ua well worth visiting. Hotel basic in everyway but clean and food is well served and nice enough. Hotel is located on a very hilly locating but not a major issue, unless not very able bodied. Would not recommend for children or youngsters. Perfect short holiday destination for couples and groups of friends wanting a get away.

Very good 3 star in Majorca
Excellent value holiday for half board at this hotel. We had requested and luckily got a seaview room and the view was quite stunning - small but fine balcony to sit out on. Needed gluten free food for coeliac disease and the Chef could not have been more helpful and indeed knowledgeable - showing clearly each night exactly what foods were 'safe'. Also, gluten free baguette provided at each meal by the waitresses, something we've not had even in 4 stars! Staff were all very helpful and the hotel and room were perfectly clean as was the pool area. We enjoyed an extremely good Flamenco show one evening. We had a lovely stay and were very impressed by the hotel as a 3 star it certainly is excellent.

High class Hotel with great views
Perched on a hill, this hotel offers fantastic views across the bay. Close to the town and beaches. Great food, great staff and a lovely reception area and bar. The pool is as good as any I have stayed in, too. The rooms are slightly small, but more than adequate for what I was looking for. I would recommend this hotel to anyone and would stay again, without a second thought. What a pleasant town and great beach Cala Mayor has, too.

Good experience
We stayed here for 2 nights. Hotel, bar, restaurants,swimming pool were quite good. Location is good, with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. Not at all impressed with the room as our room was extremely small on the back side of the hotel facing. But being on 1st floor we could get free wi-fi range from common areas. Looking at the no of people I wonder if all the large rooms were actually booked already. But never mind, we didn't want to stay in the room for long time. Bedsheets in the room could have been light coloured or plain white instead of fancy designer ones. I guess if you get a room on higher floor, you'll get a better view. But not sure if they are available for customers with online bookings.

Blue Bay Room
The hotel is very comfortable for our 3 days stay. The front desk is very co-operative and very helpful. Breakfast was good and dinner was also good and included during our stay for a cost of next to nothing. The room is, however, a bit out-dated with older bathroom and it smells smoke from the next room's smoke. Overall, it is worth the money.

Lots of steep steps
The Blue Bay hotel in Cala Major - we stayed here for 1 wk in May 2011. The hotel was up a very steep hill. There were 2 options, take the steep road to the main road for shops etc or take the steps down by the side of the hotel. If you take the road option, there is very little pavement and a lot of traffic so dangerous in places. There were about 140 steps down to the first level and then a further 40 or so down to the main road. It wasn't so much the going down but of course, one had to go up again. Not at all suitable for anyone with walking difficulties. If you go into Palma, make sure you get a no 20 bus back as that stops very near the hotel. The hotel was tired, in need of a refurb and noise travelled very easily from next door rooms. Also, although we had a no smoking room,both of our near neighbours smoked on the balcony which then drifted into our room. Not very pleasant. Hotel staff were good and helpful.

Great views
Great views if you get a room at the front, the beach. quite a steep hill up to the hotel, so be aware of that before choosing this hotel. But the views are great from the hotel. Its a pretty cheap hotel, but its your average 3 star and nice and clean with a nice bar and english speaking staff. 25 mins bus from Palma centre, so nice and quiet. the bus is every 7 mins i think and its only 1.20 euro, so about £1.10 at current rates. a review below tells you bus numbers and helped me a lot!! very easy to get around the city.

Good value for money
We went on a week-long stay which included complimentary evening meal, making it very good value - limited choice of food (e.g. 3 main courses), but fine for us. Noisy one night from some rooms - we suspect it was late arrivals who decided to start holidaying irrespective of time of arrival. But most nights the hotel was quiet enough by midnight.. Bar, and wine with meal, not over-priced. Steep hill from main road to hotel - 200 steps - may be too much for some people, Cheap transport - 2 euros on No 1 bus from airport to main bus station (Place d'Espanya), then 1.25 euros on No 3 to second bus stop in Cala Major. Hotel is signposted on main road, but easy to miss. Nicely landscaped pool/ terrace area. 90 minutes' walk to heart of Palma, if feeling energetic enough; plenty of cafes on way!. We'd stay again.

Good deal for the money
For the price, the hotel was great. The front desk was helpful and spoke English, explaining what buses to take into town, and arranging for a cab to the airport. The hotel bar and evening entertainment were a nice addition, as well. The pool and view of the ocean were relaxing. Only downside was the small room and thin walls, but we were rarely in the room, so it wasn't a huge problem.

Great!
The Blue Bay hotel is an absolute find! Lovely art-deco-ish building, with prime views over Palma Bay. It isn't the height of luxury, but it is more than comfortable with a high standard of cleanliness. The breakfast was very good, with plenty of choice. There are plenty of shops and restaurants nearby, the restaurants generally being of better than average quality. Palma itself is a 1 euro 25, 15-min bus ride away. For the price and location, you won't do much better!

Aussicht bombastisch!
Das Hotel befindet sich auf einem Hügel von dem man tolle Aussicht auf die Bucht hat. Jedoch bis zum Strand (Cala Major) und zurück muss man ein wenig ab und auf laufen, deswegen für ältere oder gehbehinderte Personen ungünstig. Der Swimmingpool ist sauber gehalten und praktisch für den Abend. Wir waren dort 6 Tage untergebracht. Das Buffet am Abend war immer abwechslungsreich und hat gut geschmeckt. Das Bedienpersonal war immer sehr freundlich!

Esperienza positiva .hotel accogliente e vicino ad una delle piu' belle spiagge di Palma.l'hotel offre piscina e camere con affaccio sul mare e propone colazione e cena a buffet.Le bevande non sono incluse..i piatti proposti sono spesso gli stessi. L'hotel dista circa 25 min di bus dal centro citta' di Palma. Posizione strategica.molti bus fermano nelle vicinanze consentendo di esplorare l'isola.Consiglio l'hotel.Personale cortese e cordiale...buffet proposto di media qualità ...niente di eccezionale.

Hotel Perfetto per una vacanza Rilassante!
Hotel fantastico! Con la formula All Inclusive si torna a casa con 10 chili in più. E' fornito di ogni comodità. Ha la navetta per andare in spiaggia, anche se la spiaggia dista soltanto 500 metri. La piscina è favolosa e tenuta molto bene. In generale, tutto l'ambiente è molto pulito ed ordinato. La sera vi sono sempre spettacoli al suo interno. Il personale è gentilissimo. Per qualsiasi problema cercano di risolvere al volo. Sono disponibili per qualsiasi informazione. La vista mare specialmente è da favola! Lo consiglio vivamente!

Ideale per la famiglia, ottima posizione, centrale a due passi dalla spiaggia ma tranquillo! Sempre ventilato, quindi non si muore mai di caldo e la vista é splendida! Unico handicap... non c'é frigobar in camera ma si sopravvive anche senza! Personale cortese e disponibile! Direi ottimo anche come qualitá prezzo!

antepongo a tutto la gentilezza del personale.
La struttura benchè datata è nel complesso più che dignitosamente tenuta. Per quanto riguarda il cibo, sarà una buona occasione per voi fare una salutare dieta! Intatti farete delle ottime scorpacciate di frutta fresca! Eh! Eh! La stanza assegnatami era vista mare ma piccolina per tre persone ( con mia moglie e bambina). Come ho già detto il personale è fantastico e simpaticissimo ed è pronto a farsi in quattro per ogni vostra plausibile richiesta. Strategicamente posto per raggiungere ogni zona dell'isola perchè a ridosso dell'autostrada. Le spiagge vicina è bruttina e nella settimana ma.. è OBBLIGATORIO prendere una vettura perchè a Mallorca ci sono le spiagge più belle d'Europa! Nel complesso, se volete risparmiare un pò venite qui. Se invece volete qualcosa di più particolare dovete andare a nord dell'isola alla baia di Alcudja.
