I stayed here with my Mother, as I had a week without my own children so wanted a child free hotel. This was heaven on earth, the peace and quiet was amazing but I often wondered why the couples were so quiet? It is mostly a couples hotel and therefore geared up for that, double sun loungers, romantic evening entertainment etc which didn't suit us at all, so when we saw that was on the agenda we just went out for the evening to the local restaurant. But it is lovely for couples, with the chillout music and Summer evening dinner, it was so beautifully presented, I thought there was to be a wedding reception taking place! The food was very good with excellent choices at both breakfast and dinner, lunch was a waiter service. I am a very fussy eater as a strict vegetarian but I was very impressed. The food was more to a German taste but this hotel is mostly German, you are greeted in German and only three rooms were occupied by Brits whilst we were there but thats fine by us.
Drinks are expensive in the dining room but this is the norm I think.
Staff at this Hotel are very polite and friendly. All Reception staff are also fluent in german and english they put us to shame. They are the best hotel staff that I have ever come across.
I would go back to this hotel, even though I am usually a self catering villa convert, this is for adult relaxation to recover from your usual hectic pace of life, you will not want to come home.
Accommodation was clean and spacious with a lovely walk in power shower with hot water throughout the day.
We was in Block 6, a lovely side sea view.
The Beach here is lovely and so close, the views from the top of the mountain walks are something else but hard going in the heat as you end up climbing!
Praise to all who work at the Vanity Suites, a job very well done.

We were looking for a quiet place to relax, far away from any booze-laden party zone, right in the middle of nature and without kids.

What we found is a beautiful hotel with great staff, nice food and flawless service. Situated in the far North-East of Mallorca, about 90 minutes from the airport (with a rental car; make sure to book this in advance from home!), Cala Mesquida is nothing more than a couple of hotels, some appartements and villas, two supermarkets and a beautiful beach with crystal-clear water. If you want to party or nibble on other food than the one provided in the hotel it's only a short drive to Capdepera (make sure to visit the Castell) or busy Cala Rajada with the amazing Palau March.

The Vanity Suites hotel is a rather large-ish complex consisting of six buildings gathered aroud a lovely pool in a beautiful garden with trees, shrubs and other local plants. As you are asked upon arrival in which building you want to stay, here are the recommendations:

House 1: Poolside: Morning sun. Backside: Late afternoon sun, but located next to the road leading to all the other hotels in Cala Mesquida.

House 2: Poolside: Morning sun. Backside: Late afternoon sun, also located next to the road but there is a small garden in between.

House 3: Poolside very dark because of large trees in front of windows. Backside morning sun, located next to a small street which leads to the beach. Here are a bar and a riding stable; the first you might hear, the second you might smell.

House 4: Poolside late afternoon sun. Backside morning sun, located next to the small street leading to the beach. See house 3 for "problems".

House 5: Poolside late afternoon sun. BEWARE! Number 03-06 (on all floors) are opposite the restaurant and kitchen, therefore people who are eating there can have a direct look into your room. Waste collection comes round around midnight and it gets extremely loud for at least 20 minutes. If you want to have a quiet night stay in another house or in the backside rooms which are facing house 6. Some rooms with sea view.

House 6: Front side facing house 5, mordning sun. Backside afternoon sun, located next to footpath leading to the beach. Some rooms with sea view.

There is music programme at the little stage next to the pool every night until 11 pm. So if you want to go to bed early make sure to stay in a room not facing the pool. Best choices will be house 4, poolside; house 5 backside (top floor) and house 6 backside.

The junior suites come eqippped with everything you might ask for in a four-star-hotel. I do not thing that it is necessary to upgrade to a "Priviledge Junior Suite" (on the ground floor with own little garden, two sunbeds and umbrella, + 25 Euro/night) when you plan to travel the island a bit. If you want to stay in the hotel most of the time it might be worth to book the "Royal Terrace" (+90 Euro/night) with own roof garden with jacuzzi, sunbeds and Bali-style bed.

Everything is extremely clean and there is plenty of staff working all day long to keep everything nice and tidy. The pool is cleaned vigorously every night and the sunbeds are very comfortable and also squeaky clean. Make sure to relax in the Bali-style daybeds and chill in the shadows of the mightly trees in the garden.

If you want to do something apart from bathing and sunning you can enjoy physical activities in the hotel, go on a guided hiking or bike tour, read international newspapers, surf the www (there is free WLAN everywhere in the hotel) and sip on a cold drink at the pool bar.

Food is served buffet-style and there is food for everyone, even vegetarians or people with food allergies. All food is labelled with colour codes indicating if they are low/high fat, low/high cholesterol etc. Plus there is fresh food prepared right in front of you: pancakes and eggs for breakfast; barbeque with fish, seafood and meat for dinner. Everything is fresh and the buffet is kept full and clean at all times. Bring a more formal dress for dinner, you are not allowed to enter the dining room in shorts and sandals! Friday evenings dinner is served poolside which is a nice change.

You get quite a lot for your money and all you have to pay extra for are the drinks, which are comparatively cheap. The 0.5 litre bottle of water costs 2.25 Euro; a bottle of wine starts at 12 Euro and cocktails are between 5 and 7 Euros. Even the home-made sangria is nice and with 3.70 Euro per glass not expensive at all.

We had a very pleasant stay at the Vanity Suites and will surely recommend this lovely place!

Hi,

We are just back from a long weekend in this great hotel. First of all, I really couldn't believe it but, this was a true adult hotel. Plus people were very respectful so there is always a serene atmosphere in the place. However be aware... The hotel is around 500m to a public beach. While the beach is gorgeous, we have to pay to rent loungers and put up with screaming children. If you are fond of the sea, as we do, this may not be the greatest option

This is the first time we have stayed in the resort of Cala Mesquida, it was very quiet glad we were there for a week only. However we did relax and enjoyed reading my books.
The Hotel Vanity Suites was excellent and the staff very friendly. The food was outstanding and varied. The beach is very close and my husband and I went for an early morning swim(8am) each day, it is quiet at that time as you would expect but perfect. We did have a problem with our jacuzzi in our bathroom twice and each time maintenance came to fix it promptly, worked after 2nd visit, brilliant. Was disapppointed that Dave our rep didn't make himself known when I turned up for the welcome meeting. He did arrive, spoke to reception and then left hotel and didn't return. Anyway I would highly recommend this hotel. We were in block 4 and it is nice and quiet.
