We got a brilliant deal on an all inclusive week here. Having never been all inclusive before we weren't sure what to expect but in fact we were pleasantly surprised. The food was pretty good with plenty of variety. Some of the evening dishes were a little dubious but there was always something to eat and most importantly it was hot, fresh and the restaurant was clearly spotlessly clean. Also there was a good array of salad, veg and fruit which was a pleasant surprise - it was easy to eat healthily (we won't mention the ice cream which was a bit TOO nice!)

Staff were - without exception - friendly, smiley and very efficient.

The room was small but clean and functional with air con, a comfortable bed and a small balcony with sea views. Most of the rooms in the hotel must have good views as the hotel is on a headland with sea on 3 sides. As a previous review said there is no hairdryer so ladies take your own or air dry!

The location and grounds just made this - although the hotel was busy it never really appeared to be as people are scattered around the grounds and gardens, near one or other of the pools or by the cliff edge. The real bonus is a ladder down into the warm, clear sea - great for snorkelling and better than a dip in the pool for cooling off.

If you go out - Cala Marcal beach is great but beware the 12 euro sunbeds - and is only a 10 minute walk away. Porto Colom harbour is probably a 20 minute walk but very picturesque when you get down there with a few nice restaurants.

Night life in the hotel is low key as you would expect - there is something on every evening but don't expect wild partying - it's all very chilled. Likewise there are day time activities such as archery, darts and air rifle competitions which are good fun.

It's a great place to go if you don't want a "Brits Abroad" type location as it's probably 60% German, 20% British and 20% Spanish.

I would definitely go out for another week of sunshine and chilling out and would recommend it to anyone looking for the same.

Lovely location on a headland overlooking the sea and Cala Marcal beach which is about a 10 minute walk away. It's a little further to Porto Colom in the opposite direction. The resort is very quite, just a few bars and shops. It is not suitable people looking for nightclub and partying.
The hotel rooms are basic, white artex walls and dark wood furniture but are very clean. There is a TV with various channels including Sky News. No hairdryer though.
The spa and gym on the top floor is a new addition with modern stylish fitments which may be a sign of things to come for the rest of the hotel.
The ground floor reception area, bar and dining room also look to have been recently refurbished and are very clean and modern.
There are 2 pools, one by the bar and outside seating area and another round the side through the garden. This pool is "laned off" for those who wish to swim.
The outside terraces are a mixture of sufaces. There is a large tiled area where there are plenty of chairs and tables, some in the shade. There are also some hammocks here which is a novelty.
Beyond there, made from the cliff top ( so a little uneven under foot), are some areas with sunbeds and parasols. There are also plenty of shaded areas with sunbeds under the trees aswell as around the 2nd pool. We always managed to get a sunbed somewhere.
The food was very good with plenty of choice at all meal tmes and some dishes freshly cooked by a chef . The restaurant never felt crowded or too busy, so it was fairly relaxing to eat here compared to the scrum at some hotels I have stayed at in the past.
I think this was because it was an adult only hotel and the guests were mainly younger or older couples.
Most of the guests were German or Spanish, very few British, and they seem to have more respect and consideration for their surroundings and fellow holiday makers than I have experienced in hotels that have been solely for Britsh tourists. There was a really friendly, casual and relaxed atmosphere throughout the hotel and grounds.
I will definitely return to this hotel and would recommend it to anyone that wants a quiet relaxing holiday in a lovely location.

Just had fab 2 weeks in best located, friendliest, most cosmopolitan, super value for money
hotel in majorca. Going back next year for sure.

Stayed at the hotel in June 2011, from the UK. Had a brilliant time staying at the hotel as all inclusive.
After reading all the reviews, some very mixed I was unsure what to expect however after the first 24hrs at the hotel it was clear that we didn't need to worry about anything! The food was varied and always something that I liked. With the choice between a continental or cooked breakfast, or both! Lunch and dinner had everything you could want. Able to help yourself to as much as you want. Snacks also provided at specific times that you could help yourself too, included fruit, ice cream, breads. The food was certainly not an issue! Good job there were plenty of activities to keep trim whilst staying there! Also as much drink as you wanted throughout!
The evening entertainment wasn't to our taste but there are games behind reception which were good.
Rooms very clean, staff professional and helpful. There were steps down into the sea at the hotel which was brilliant for cooling off if you didn't fancy the pools. Was good for snorkeling.
The hotel is within 5-10mins of the beach which was fabulous and the same distance from the port. There were little shops around, touristy as you would expect and also other restaurants. However we didn't try these being all inclusive and pleased with the food!
I would definitely recommend staying at the hotel with all inclusive including almost everything apart from SPA treatments. There were other nationalities present, but all were friendly!
I can imagine in the summer holidays the beach gets very very busy. However other beaches that we visited when on a boat trip on the east were much busier than at Cala Marcel.
If you are looking for a relaxing holiday with sporting options and beach/port within easy walking distance, good food, good service this is the place for you!
