I first stayed at Ses Puntetes 13 years ago. Since then they have updated the hotel and annex 'Yuca' building which is situated in the street behind the hotel. This time we stayed in the annex which is a two minute walk to the hotel for dining/bar facilities. Our room in the annex overlooked the small pool, and sunbeds and umbrellas are provided free of charge.
The room itself was small but with sufficient wardrobe and drawer space and the beds were comfortable. The air-con is controlled by the hotel and worked on a timer (not by the client). The room had a direct dial telephone, fee pay TV (15 euro per week) and safe (12 euro per week). The room lacked a fridge, hairdryer and kettle, but the latter you can take yourself. The rooms were cleaned daily and towels changed as and when necessary. The bedding wasn't changed at all, but I suspect that had we stayed more than one week, they would have been. I cannot fault the overall cleanliness.
We stayed half board, breakfast alternated between continental and full English starting Sunday, so in effect four continental and three cooked breakfasts. Plenty of choice. The clients were mostly German/Dutch/Swedish, but friendly. Evening meals consisted of Salad bar and Soup starters. The main course was always a selection of a fish and two different meats also Pasta and sauce. There were chips every night and a vegetable or two. Only one night did they offer mashed potato, so if you don't eat chips or pasta, hard luck. Overall I thought the selection was good. There were always cold sweets (fruit/ice cream/cake etc.) on offer.
The hotel is 2 mins walk into Cala d'Or which has 3 beaches (Coves) and a Marina. The front of the hotel is probably the noisiest as it is on a main road, but it is in a quieter part of town and would not bother most people. The staff are friendly and we had extra pillows delivered within 30 mins. of asking. I certainly couldn't fault this hotel and found it good value for money.
There is no entertainment at the hotel, kids clubs etc. so if you do have small children I don't think it would suit them. This hotel is more suitable for adults.
You may see this hotel advertised as linked to a Spa and that they offer water aerobics etc. This is all rubbish as I asked at the reception and they don't offer anything like this.
