Average

The hotel was tired and I would class as 3 star. The breakfast was good with good choices. The photos on the website are not reflective of the hotel in my opinion. Brilliant location

Great location, smart appearance.

Think our overall experience of the Hotel was affected by the Covid 19 situation. The accommodation was good, but would have preferred some drawers in the room. Breakfast was good, with plenty of guests but dinners were average and seemed to only attract a small number of guests. The lounge and bar were always empty and so engaging with other guests was not possible. Swimming pool and area were very good and popular.

Amazing break

We went to Majorca for a 4 day break in July, 21 and choose the Catalonia Del Mar hotel in Cala Bona which is in a perfect position overlooking the marina. The staff were very friendly and assisted us when ever we needed help and advice. The hotel itself is modern, clean and the rooms are spacious. The rooms are tidied every day. The outdoor pool is very pleasant with jacuzzi and the slightly warmer indoor pool very relaxing. I would recommend this hotel.

Wonderful holiday

I would like to thank all the staff at the hotel for making our stay so enjoyable. I would also like to thank the hotel for giving us the room we requested.

Back Again

Have stayed here twice before. Was not at disappointed to be back. Love how clean the place is. All staff are friendly and polite. Found Marek brilliant on reception and Luz Maria in the restaurant so friendly. The lady who does the breakfast and evening at the cook to order so funny and nothing too much trouble for her. The food is vsried , plentiful and very very tasty. Had a room with a sea view. Amazing. Definitely will be back

Could do better

Clean hotel with excellent maids. Good to have tea/coffee making facilities and fridge in room. Only one English TV channel. Reception staff not friendly or welcoming (apart from night receptionist). Evening meal consistently failed to meet expected standard. Waitress clearing tables before we had finished meal on more than one occasion. Upgrade to sea view quoted as €30 pppn which over our 11 nights would be €660!

Ok, but certainly not a 4 star hotel

First the good bits. The hotel is well positioned right opposite the small harbour at Cala Bona in a pleasant setting. The promenade is right on the doorstep and, aside rental bikes, the area is pedestrianised and traffic free, so quite quiet. Reception is cool and airy and there is a large and comfortable bar/lounge area. The service we received, especially from Gabriella, was excellent; always on hand and always efficient. There is a large restaurant area with ample seating, and tables are spaced apart to promote a degree of social distancing. The food was, at best, average. Buffet style breakfast and dinner with a selection of hot and cold foods. All edible but rather repetitive and not always visually appealing. The grill chef, often under pressure from impatient guests, seemed to rush things, impacting on the look of the food and, on one occasion, offering clearly under cooked fish and meat. Coffee or tea was available from a machine. Our room, considering the fairly recent refurbishment, looked tired. It was clean and pleasant enough, and we had a large terrace overlooking the harbour, but it needed a really good facelift to realise its full potential. The bathroom was small and cramped. The air conditioner was a little noisy. Amenities were quite limited. We did not use the bar area, but on the few occasions we solid looking in we observed it to be totally empty and so there was no atmosphere; I felt for the sporadic evening entertainment, playing to an empty room each night. This cannot have been helped by the fact that the nearest neighbouring hotel seemed to have managed to spread their lounge area outside and onto the main promenade, and provided quite lively entertainment each night which was presented and performed right outside. Certainly any passing tourist would be more drawn to that than into the Catalonia! There was a small pool bar but again this was always very quiet; despite that, service was slow. There was a table tennis table on site but this seemed to have just been folded away into a corner. The gym appeared to be well equipped and clean. There was an indoor pool which had a selection of very comfortable padded loungers around it; a pity they were not available at the outdoor pool, because the loungers there were very uncomfortable! The outdoor pool was small and, if you were planning on getting a few lengths in, quite restrictive when there were more than 8 people in the water. Parasols were provided, but they were in the wrong bases meaning they could only be opened at a low level, resulting in the edges of the extended canopy and the poles were at eye level to anyone around 5’8-6’ tall; quite an obstacle course! Despite signs advising guests not to reserve sun beds, and the threat that towels would be removed if this happened it was never adhered to or enforced, so if you want a good spot then do get up early! The lock on the poolside toilets did not work and was not repaired despite this being reported. Perhaps the biggest surprise during our stay was the decision to employ tree surgeons to work on the palm trees around the pool at 9am one morning; this further limited the number of sun beds available, was noisy, dirty and, dare I say, dangerous, as huge branches of tree were dripped from height. Why on earth not get them in to do the work after the pool closed at 7pm? Or better still, before even opening for the season??! Did we have a good stay? Honestly, yes. Could it have been better? Absolutely! Would the hotel justify a 4 star rating? No, just about a 3. Would we return? Unfortunately not to this hotel.
