We stayed at the Blanc Palace the last week of August, first week of September 2010. We enjoyed our stay, which was about relaxing and taking it easy. As other reviews have stated the hotel is in a quiet residential area and if you want hustle and bustle then it's not for you. There is a large pool - with lots of sun beds. There was easy access to the bar that provided both drinks and food. The restaurant got very busy and at times the buffet (hot and cold) was sparse and not replenished quickly enough. The staff were friendly but very busy - not enough waiting on staff.
The room was clean, big enough for us (family of 3), air conditioning was great and a T.V was in the room if needed. We stayed half board but had a fridge and cooking facilities in our room. The rooms were cleaned about 2-3 times over our 11 day stay.
We went out quite a lot to other resorts which are very close to each other and not far from Sa Caleta. A must is visiting Ciutadella, it is a very pretty town with the many restaurants along the port and the beautiful buildings and churches within the town. We went a couple of times and to be honest if we didn't have a young child (who didn't like walking!) we'd have gone a lot more.
The bus services are very frequent which takes away from the fact that you are not local to restaurants and shops. Cala Santandria was a short walk from the hotel, and had a lovely cove which was popular with both the locals and tourists.
For us the only down side was the hotel entertainment was poor especially when the choice of where else to go in the immediate area is limited. Most nights the entertainment room was empty by 10 pm.
On the first week the children's club was very busy and you had to queue to get your child's name down on the list. The second week was quiet and meant that our child was able to access the club a couple of times and she loved it. The reps were very friendly and helpful.
We found the resort very clean and friendly.
