“End of season tiredness”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 October 2010
6
people found this review helpful

The food was good. The waiters were mainly surly and some were downright rude. One or two, like Diana in the dining room and Toni in the bar were very good indeed, but the rest were, in my opinion, in the wrong job.
The gym had some very expensive equipment, most of which had broken switches, instructions, where there were any, in German and the place was unsupervised.
In the dining room, it was impossible to find un-chipped crockery. Soup dishes were particularly prone to damage, with most dishes having both handles chipped or missing.
My wife asked the waiter, Juan, if she could have coffee. He replied, "There is a coffee machine next door. Get it yourself."
This is the first hotel where I have stayed, where no tips have been given for the staff.

“Perfect beach location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 August 2010

I was in Riu Cala Millor for one night (no room available in the hotel I had originally booked). Staff was really nice all the time. I had a single room, really tiny, with carpet floor, which I disliked immediately being a beach hotel. Food was decent (only had breakfast). The beach is right at the door of the hotel, also the promenade. Plenty of shops, restaurants and bars in walking distance.

“October in Majorca”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 October 2008

people found this review helpful

Having stayed at the Riu Bravo near Palma last year, we wished to sample another Riu on the island. We were delighted with our room which gave us a view along the beach front to the hills in the distance. However, although the food was good, did not come up to the standard of the Bravo.

Staff, cleanliness of rooms etc all very good. It was great to go to sleep with the sound of the waves in the background. The resort was quieter than Playa de Palma but no flower beds along the prom.

the hotel was full with 150 saga guests and rest from Germany.
However, at this time of year few children and no teenagers which meant hotel was peaceful. Plenty of sun loungers and seats in lounge. The theatre was good with four shows a week.

We could have done with some entertainment on the other nights.

A video with films could be a suggestion.

We had purchased an email phone card 'card4anywhere' and this enabled us to call friends etc in UK very easily.

Weather was good first week but had storm during the second. It was then that lack of entertainment in the hotel was noticed.

The animation team were on holiday.

The distance from Palma meant that tours were not as comprehensive as from Palma, as took an hour to get to the road necessary for Valdemossa, Calobra etc.

“Top Service, Great food”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 June 2008
6
people found this review helpful

The hotel is 20 meters distant from the beach, so if you are a sea lover, this is the ideal place to stay. Playa Cala Millor is a very nice beach with clean sand and very transparent water, ideal for children. Plus, the hotel offers excellent service, high quality food, and very kind staff.

The most negative aspect was the size of the bedrooms, expecially the bathroom. But, this was no big problem, as the social part of the Hotel is stupendous, specially the swimming pool and the bar.

I strongly recommend this hotel for young and elderly couples, and for small families.

“excellent hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 October 2007

people found this review helpful

we booked this hotel direct from the riu website and we were not disappointed. We arrived at hotel around midnight but were still offered some food and our cases taken to our room. The room was slightly smaller than other riu hotels we have stayed in but was spotless. The hotel staff especially the manager were all very pleasant and helpful. The hotel was mostly occupied by the 50 to 70 yrs old at this time of the year as it is used by saga but this meant we met lots of nice couples around the same age as ourselves. There were plenty cafes and restaurants around the hotel so we were spoilt for choice at a lunchtime. Evening meals in the hotel were excellent . The only downside is that cala millor is an hour from palma airport and is therefore quite expensive if travelling by taxi.
