Apartaments Cales de Ponent

Very clean two bedroom apartment, plenty of storage and we had a poolside room with seating.All the staff there are friendly and extremely efficient constantly cleaning and taking good care of the you and the hotel, they are all an absolute credit to the owners. Free safe and wifi which is a bonus, plenty of crockery etc in the kitchen, everything that you need, also TV. The breakfast is excellent, very good quality and choice, different milks, hot and cold options, an absolute treat, the dining room also extremely clean. Not a lot in entertainment locally, some of the restaurants were not open in the evening, possibly due to it being the start of the season?, however the cave restaurant right next door was open and the owner very friendly, food nice. This is a relaxing holiday in a good location, beach on the doorstep,therefore not for some who may crave nightlife, but buses to Cuitadella aren't far away and run to time. If visiting again we would definitely stay here , thank you !

OAP couple opted for this hotel without huge expectation as I believe this was rated a 3 star hotel and previously having been to 4 star accommodation more often than not. We had booked a 2 bed apartment and allocated flat 23 which turned out to be an excellent location on the ground floor within 25 yards of the pool. I`ll divide the review into segments for ease of reading. RECEPTION. The entrance impressive befitting a hotel with 4 stars. The staff were attentive and the booking in swift and competent. FLAT Initial impression wasn`t that great in terms of space but was functional. The living room with a couch TV and a sideboard. Dining room with table and chairs and a kitchen with room to cook a meal if required.(bigger than some kitchens have visited) Bathroom compact for washing/shaving and not much space for toiletries but functional. Large walk in shower but was tired and the tray had large brownish mark which was off putting and could have done with re grouting bit of paintwork.(bathroom).Powerful shower with liquid soap supplied for sink and shower. The flat was spotlessly clean which was a common theme applicable to all areas of the complex. The dining room had air con and the master bedroom with the other bedroom considerably smaller had a fan(not great) POOL Looks nicer than the photographs show and surrounded by trees and flower boxes.Pool kept impeccably and sun loungers more comfortable than other complexes.Sufficient number of umbrellas for size of complex and always available.No towel louts either. Mix of all nationalities in hotel and not a hint of disagreement at any time nor did I see anybody complaining about any issues to reception staff which is a good sign. Pool bar open for snacks and drinks and not extortionate prices, Strangely the pool was much quieter mid morning on but around 5pm seemed to fill up to a greater degree and pool open to 9pm. LOCATION. The hotel is located on an incline quite steep and while the hotel itself is relatively suitable for people with mobility issues the surrounding areas are tricky and suspect would mean frequent use of taxis which are not that expensive. RESORT Cala Sanandria is not a large place with much residential.There are not many restaurants but those that are there are of a good quality .The beach itself is literally 50 yards from the hotel and has the usual sun beds and thatched umbrella to protect from the sun. 2 beach bars and we found Es Bruc the best and cheapest. The beach is set in a superb cove with water vehicles for hire. Strangely there is a population of ducks who live on and above the beach and wander into the beach bar. To access another 2 restaurants with sublime views over the cliff onto the cove you need to walk along the beach onto a track which leads to a flight of stairs. Apart from that there is another restaurant sa quadra which is just outside hotel and thoroughly recommend the chateaubriand. That`s it for the local restaurants but you can walk to Cala Blanc
