The service is exceptional just everybody but the waiters with their manager make me want to come back. A warmed pool and a disco would be a nice move from the owner. Thanks a lot

Okay, when we booked this, we booked on location. Having seen the photos, Cala ferrera hotel is in a beautiful location. Its next to a turquoise coloured sea and sandy beach cove, it really is like the photos we saw before we went. Only issue is we were the last drop on the nearly 2hr hotel transfer, and as Ryanair kindly pushed our flights back 6hrs, that made for a late night and missed first day.
The hotel itself is clean, it looks like Cabot are slowly trying to upgrade this place, however, the rooms are very basic. I can only speak for our room...it was clean, it had beds, the bathroom was basic but functional (hot and cold water, no leaks, decent shower pressure blah blah). The furniture and decor is bad though, time travel back to the 70s. They do have tvs though, plug sockets for charging stuff.
For parents with small kids and disabled people, note of caution, there aren't any ramps other than to reception. Getting around the hotel though is difficult for people with walking disabilities and parents with prams and pushchairs. To be fair the town is like that a bit aswell, getting to the beaches looked difficult.
Right, we were all inclusive. So standard Spanish fare, with a twist. There is variety, but not day to day. Given the time of year and turnover of food daily, I think some of the food is reused on a day to day basis. Personally, I found it okay, 3 meals a day, made it through unscathed some of it decent some of it questionable. Paella at lunch is nice. The food situation is being monitored by holiday companies, we spoke to a jet 2 rep outside on our last day, and he said they were starting to make this a focus after complaints last year. My wife and youngest did get ill, but we weren't sure if it was the food, drink, or heat from the weather, either way they have a long way to go to get the food up to scratch. Drinks, not to sure on prices, pretty standard I think, although no cocktails are all inclusive, just beer, wine, sangria, cider, some liquors, soft drinks, coffee.
The pool is freezing, set up for the summer months. Luckily, we had decent weather, but hardly anyone was using it, it is small aswell.
There are pool tables inside and out and a limited selection of arcade games for kids. Entertainment is basic. Their entertainment team consists of 1 lady, Sara, (who was lovely by the way) trying a 1 person weekly variety act, Bingo, karaoke, music quiz, sara got a singer in 1 night, all sorted by sara.
The town is a 15-45 min walk from the hotel (dependant on how many shops you stop in on the way). It is a lovely little place with plenty of bars, restaurants and 5 different beaches. There is a land train that you can get to save walking.
Cala d'or is really nice, for a week's holiday on the cheap we made the most of it. We thought the staff in the hotel were great, really friendly and welcoming and helpful. The location and scenery is beautiful and we found plenty to do during the day and evening. I'd find it hard to really recommend the hotel just yet, it's just dated and tired and needs a kick up the arse, other than that we had a great time, would visit the area again.

Great location and friendly and helpful staff 👍 good quality food and that would be all about the goods, the rest needs a proper update and investment. A lack of the proper windows in rooms is not fun at all: noise, wind, cold, and damp go through in...

Hotel itself is not new, but well kept and very clean. Normally I wouldn’t go for HB (booked thru booking) but price was nearly the same as room with breakfast. Food was tasty with good variety, most changing daily. Service in restaurant and bar is terrible, had several bad experiences with them and I’m generally polite, non complaining person. First day during dinner one of the waiters came shouting on us that we cannot have drink during dinner as we’re not all inclusive, we were just looking around as it was first day (we haven’t approached pouring any drinks, didn’t have a glass in hand etc.) - and that’s only one of several unpleasant situations we had. It’s not mind blowing hotel, but good value for money (we’ve been in October, so it could be much cheaper than in the high season) and normally if not service I would rate it higher.

Went for an all-inclusive holiday for a week with the family, and it wasn't great there's 5 cocktails that you could have for free. Nothing more alcoholic was available without . The food is mediocre, but that's what you get with all-inclusive. the location is lovely. The sunrises are stunning it's only a 10 minute walk to cala D'or we're there's amazing places to eat out of 10 ill give it a 6/10
