food

cold and not very good

Much needed break

First 6 days of our stay (on b&b basis) were good after that the service dropped off dramatically. The choices in the restaurant at breakfast were a lot poorer. I did raise this with the restaurant supervisor / manager but he got quite confrontational. The nightly entertainment stopped around this time.

Enjoyable stay

Overall very enjoyable. The restaurant and household team very efficient, polite and smiling. Reception and management team didn’t smile or engage. Unlike the 5 other Catalonia Hotels we stayed. Management team smoking by the back door ( between the two hotel buildings ), main entrance as no vehicle access at front. As a non-smoker, I do not like being exposed to passive smoking.

A good hotel needs attention

A good hotel on the surface but when you have been here a few days you start to see little things that could be better like shabbiness of paint decor , doors a bit tatty paint stains on balcony floor and railings .The rooms are overall clean and cleaner came every day fresh milk and coffee replenished daily.We stayed b&b always something to eat sometimes a bit warm/cold .I have stayed in cala bona on numerous occasions 1st time at Catalonia del mar don't think we would return to this hotel again for what we paid it should have been better.Dont let all the negative reviews put you off staying here,if you just want to lounge by the pool and eat half board you'll be ok

Great break

Great hotel , the rooms are very comfortable and cleaned every day. The pool area is clean with plenty of lounges and has a nice pool bar offering a good range of drinks and food. The only criticism is that the food offered at breakfast and evening meal should be a lot hotter than it is ( this needs to be addressed by the management )

Nice stay

A nice stay for my first solo trip away. Staff were nice and friendly. Only thing I didn’t particularly like was that there was nowhere to refill my water bottle and the gym was small and cold.

Excellent 2 night staycation

We love this hotel and enjoy coming a couple of times a year. It's in a great location and offers everything you need. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Rooms are spacious and clean. The breakfast is always good, although this time we found it not as enjoyable as in the past. Very busy and noisy, but that was down to the amount of guests. The same can be said about the pool area.

Lovely hotel in a fabulous location.

Lovely hotel in a fabulous location overlooking the harbour. Friendly, helpful and efficient staff. Room with panoramic terrace was extremely comfortable and kept very clean by staff. Highly recommend this hotel.

Hotel in general

Food choice good; staff friendly, polite and helpful; More attention and supervision is required regarding guests putting towels on pool chairs from early morning and leaving the chairs unused.

Great Hotel

Had a great holiday . We were delighted with the pool and also the indoor pool. I'm disappointed with the game of towels. On the sunbeds, they appear eacb day early doors. Yet, the owners don't show up till after lunch. So many selfish people. Rot in he'll guys. Nothing personal. Great staff. Always helpful , very hard working. Pleasant and helped my wife whom needs assistance. Easy to hire a mobility the hotel helps. Also reception helped when I needed to print boarding passes. All the staff where very helpful. Thanks for the great holiday. Loved it.

Matthew Harper 23 Holiday

Overall food very poor Hotel staff very friendly Pool area and bar was looking tired Entertainment poor Hotel was clean Broken tiles in the bathroom, maintenance needed in the bathroom Only 2 English t.v channels and they was news. I felt Ill one night and couldn’t watch anything but there was plenty of German and Italian channels.

Superb stay!

We had a wonderful stay at the Catalonia del Mar. The room was lovely with a great view over the pool area. All of the staff were friendly and welcoming which really added to our holiday. Martin who ran the entertainment was brilliant. He works hard to make sure everyone has a great time and is very dedicated. We loved the quiz and the singers that were on every night. Superb holiday and we were sad to leave.

Catatonia del mar

Hotel nice and clean,pool area nice Hotel food deplorable, had to spend money and eat out for every meal which is not acceptable when you've spent thousands of pounds,staff nice and friendly, sea views great ,entertainment could be better

IWERY LOWERY08-08-23

Beautiful location

We enjoyed our stay at this hotel our room ground floor at swimming pool it was cleaned daily fresh towels and staff very helpful throughout the hotel the only problem was the food pretty poor this is our 3rd visit to Cala Bona in 12 months and disappointed with the food location excellent.

ELEANOR MCNEIL04-08-23

Wonderful stay.

The hotel is nipping clean and well decorated. The food is plentiful, fresh and tasty. Staff are helpful and friendly. Wonderfully placed, facing right onto the marina. (I paid extra for a sea view but didn’t get one…. however I didn’t complain so that’s my fault). The rooms are large and the beds very comfortable.

TRACY MCGILL03-08-23

Lovely Hotel

Best hotel stay! We had a lovely time and didn’t want to come home, nothing was too much trouble, staff were friendly and helpful, food in restaurant was great and spoilt for choice. Pool and solarium great although didn’t use till evening as too crowded in day. We were upgraded to sea view overlooking harbour. Could not have wished for any thing better. Will be returning

Friends getaway

When first arrived,thought omg,the hotel from the back looked like it needed a little tlc. Once inside it was lovely. We stayed in main building. 1st night had panoramic sea view room with terrace inc sun beds,as there was no other rooms. The next day was moved to floor below with same view. Beautiful view of sea,harbour. Very modern rooms.forest shower.toothbrushes,shower gel,shampoo etc supplied. Maid service no very good,the beds were made everyday but to be honest that was about it… Swimming pool was in a seperate building but only through another door. Food was ok.had a good variety of food. Not very warm . If you got there later it wasn’t replaced so then limited choice. Staff were fantastic. Fantastic location.

Another lovely stay

This is the third stay at the hotel with my mum. We once again had a lovely holiday. We have a harbour facing room which is lovely and luckily had one that didn’t have a huge tree in front of it which would completely block the view! The hotel was clean and the staff friendly. The breakfasts were great with a huge amount of choice. We only had one evening meal at the hotel but it was good. The last time we stayed was pre covid and have noticed a couple of changes, there was no bubbly at breakfast and no a la carte evening meal offered which was a nice touch previously. The only downside to the hotel is the reserving of sun beds really early every morning, unless you go to the pool by 7.30 you cannot get a sun bed as they are all reserved and many not actually used until later in the morning. There were some on the roof terrace but thus wasn’t easy to access for my elderly mum so to avoid having to get up early on my holiday we chose to go to the beach instead.

Catalonia Del Mar

Nice hotel and staff but apartment missing a few basics eg.no mirror above dressing table,towel rail in bathroom.

CHRISTINE DAVIES17-07-23

Our holiday

My only problem was the evening meals some food ie steaks pork chops were not cooked enough

ALAN FARQUHARSON10-07-23

Cala bona holiday 2023

The hotel and all the staff overall was really nice there was however 2 points that let it down No1 The FOOD was mediocre for a 4star hotel the meats cooked we tried were usually undercooked and tough and chewy with limited choice and i know there were many guests not happy with the food . No2 the pool area was cramped with too many sunbeds so close together and as usual if you were not up early all the beds were taken so we had to go to the beach and pay for a bed and some space

BRENDA BUTTLE10-07-23

Spain 2023

Very lovely hotel, friendly staff and very clean. Nice location plenty of shops, bars, restaurant along the front all flat to walk along. Hotel could go with more choices on the evening meals but still very nice food.
