October is a good time to go to places like Majorca, because it's about half as busy as it would normally be. This hotel was very very quiet - in fact I felt a bit guilty about taking my two young noisy kids to the pool area where all the over 50's were quietly relaxing. Esmerelda is lovely but not... more

Just returned from 2 weeks at the Cala Esmeralda. Initially we were given a room overlooking a car park and a generator within earshot which was changed, albeit reluctantly, by the female receptionist. Staff were helpful but not very friendly. The food and location of the hotel was excellent. Beautiful bay with amazing clear water, although during our stay there... more

The restaurant had unbelieable quality and quantity and variety of dishes, As if 'Gala Night' was every night. Perfect for 50+ . No teens, no kids, just a couple of babies. Set in quiet , very well maintained good residential area , ten minutes from main resort shops and 'life' overlooking prittiest cove of pale soft sand just a few... more

My husband and I needed a week's relaxation and as we had stayed at this hotel last year, we decided to revisit it. We don't usually go back to the same place a following year, but made an exception this time as we knew what to expect, and we can safely say that the hotel did not disappoint in any... more

hotel and staff were very good but pavements around the resort were a disgrace. broken tiles and concret all over the resort with dog poo. watch your feet more

We have just got back from 7 days at this hotel, and are already looking into going back. The location is fantastic, with steps from the pool area directly onto the small beach (which did get busy), so you could enjoy sunbathing by the pool (which was very clean and no problems getting a sunbed) then go for a dip... more

I Travelled as a single adult, with my 12 yr old daughter, having a girlie week together. I booked it direct through the hotel website,so just pay a deposit and then pay the bill when you are in the hotel. So easy and so much better than paying travel companies 8 weeks before you travel. I requested a sea view... more

A nice clean hotel. I've only been in 1 hotel I would give 5 stars to so I'll give this a 4 plus. First location - If you're there basically to relax by the pool and soak up the sun it's terrific, two pools and a nice little cove. However if you like a stroll around the town centre after... more

we stayed at the esmeralda for one week in August. After quite a bit of research, we booked direct with the hotel. The booking was extremely easy and we were located a prime room overlooking the pool and beach. Probably one of the best views. We also opted for half board which was reasonable and I would definitely recommend as... more
