“Very good value for money”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 31 October 2011
7
people found this review helpful

The hotel has a seafront location and the area is very level so no problems walking around. I suspect that the hotel was built quite some time ago and is similar to many hotels on the Spanish Costas, ie built around a rectangular swimming pool. Having said that, while the sunloungers are rather close together the area is not unpleasant and gets the sun most of the day.
We got a (free!) upgrade to a seaview room (Riu class members) which, while not as large as more modern hotels, was adequate and comfortable. It had the advantage of lots of drawer and wardrobe space and the beds were comfortable. Sadly the A/c was only on from 2pm till midnight so the room did get warm from the morning sun. We slept with the balcony door open all night.
We found the food to be very good, well cooked (apart from the bacon) and plenty of variety.
All the staff were friendly efficient and keen to help. Unusually for this type of hotel the Director, Maria, went to the welcome meetings and went around the hotel during the day and was always very approachable.
We were all inclusive and found the drinks (Local brands) to be quite acceptable. The more you had the better they became!!!
The hotel was typical of Riu hotels in that it was always immaculately clean.
The entertainment at night was quite low key, but in October the Entertainment Team are due to arrive for the winter so the pool area will not be as quiet!
All in all a quiet and relaxing holiday, just what we had hoped for.

“5* service from a 4* hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 October 2011

people found this review helpful

Having recently returned from a 7-day holiday to the Riu Cala Millor we wished we had booked for longer. It was obvious that providing friendly and excellent service was very important to the hotel team, led by the Director, Maria Rodrigues. All the staff we met went out of their way to make our stay enjoyable and the restaurant chefs provided the most amazing range and quality of food. Breakfast provided an array of both cold and hot dishes and dinner was an occasion not to be missed with again a large choice of cold and hot dishes, as well as delicious desserts! Although we chose the half board option we could see that some guests were on all inclusive, but this did not seem to cause any problems to staff. The room was clean and comfortable although space a little tight between the bottom of the bed and the dressing table. However, it included a sitting area and provided plenty of drawer and cupboard space and there was also a balcony with a drying line!

The hotel's location is also great as it is very close to the Cala Millor beach, shops, bars and restaurants, yet in a quiet part of the resort.

“Loved the area, hotel was not "4 stars"...”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 July 2011

We booked this hotel thru a travel agency in Grafenwohr Germany (off post). We were informed that the hotel was "4 stars" , if we judge the hotel for their food and staff, we can say that it is a "4 stars", but for the room, commodities, AC, and the "all inclusive drinks" we give this Hotel a "2 stars". Beds were hard and unconfortable "worst than regular Geaman beds", AC DOES NOD GETS THE ROOM COLD or even confortable to sleep in. We informed this issue to the front desk since day 1, "maintenance was on their way throught our stay!! " , the shower head broke, the bathroom it doesnt have a steam fan, the television was the greatest 13 inch "tube" tv, on top of the counter (funny as hell). The "all inclusive" drinks were a joke, they serve you drinks in a 4" glass that in a single shot you were done!! anyway, the staff were great, the food excellent, but thats it. DO NOT EAT AT THE CHINESE PLACE ACROSS THE STREET FROM THE HOTEL, IT SUCKS!! If you want a great "Sangria", go to the beach to the right hand side there is the very first place in front of the pedestrian walk, they have the greatest "Sangrias"... 7 stars for that!!

The staff, location, cleanliness, food were all of a high standard. Yes the bedroom was a bit small and the lock awkward to use and there were Germans everywhere but hey we are all Europeans now so vive la differance!

“Excellent hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 March 2011

people found this review helpful

We stayed at Riu Cala Millor for 4 nights and wished we stayed longer. The hotel is on the edge of a beach in a quiet location. All rooms have sea view. The staff are fantastic. The choice of food is good. There is entertainment on nearly every night. The hotal is relaxed, but very efficient. Good value for money. I am disabled and there are disabled parking bays very close to the hotel. The hotel also has a wheelchair for client use on the promenade. There are shops nearby. Although the area tends to be described as development gone mad, we did not feel that. The hotels have spacious gardens and set apart from each other. The area is slightly hilly and good for exploration in a car. There are some lovely coves and places to visit.
