A lovely, well-laid out hotel which is perfect for young children. The whole place was very clean and the staff throughout were extremely friendly and helpful, particularly with the children. It was close to the end of the season when we visited, so was quite quiet and the weather was only ok. It was warm, but very windy at times and got quite chilly at night. Rooms - perfect size and layout for a family with lots of storage. Having a fridge and kettle was so useful for having milk/snacks for my daughter, even though we were all inclusive. (Big refurb is coming, but pictures on the display indicated the kitchens were staying.) Food - at breakfast, lunch and dinner food was extremely plentiful and snack lunches could be ordered from the splash pool bar. Nothing ever ran out and everything was hot. Most of it was delicious with a few exceptions, but plenty to choose from. Drinks came quickly and empty plates were whisked away immediately. In terms of all inclusive, the availability of food outside of meal times was very limited compared to other places we've been, which was a little bit of a shame. The a la carte restaurant - which you get one reservation at per week on all inclusive - was lovely. Drinks - very generous measures. Again, compared to other all inclusives the choice was a little limited, but most people would find something they liked. Facilities - the two outdoor pools were very cold, but that didn't put people off. The main pool had a busy area for the older kids (with a bouncy dome thing) and quieter area. The splash pool was great for youngsters with lots of slides. When we went, the indoor pool was a much more enticing offer for most people given the temperature and it had some very shallow areas that kids could safely play in. The indoor pool area could do with a few more chairs/places to leave belongings as the floor gets very wet (obviously). My daughter absolutely loved the soft play area and the playground. Most of the game machines (air hockey, pool) were broken. Entertainment - the entertainment team tried really hard at both daytime and evening entertainment, but it was clearly getting harder as there were fewer and fewer people left and some of the activities fell a little flat. I imagine it's a very different experience in the height of summer. Again, they were great with the kids and encouraged everyone to join in. My daughter wouldn't go to kids club, so can't comment on what it was like but I know it ran for 2 sessions each day with 2/3 evening events while we were there. Location - Cala Bona is very small, but has a nice harbour and very small (shingle) beach. The Bip supermarket was good for stocking up on essentials. Cala Millor and Porto Cristo are much bigger. The nearest bus stop is about 5minutes from the hotel and goes to both places. Overall - this is a very good hotel with practical rooms and the right facilities, made excellent by the very hard-working staff. We would definitely go back, particu
