We just returned from a week stay at Club Cala, Puerto Rico. Had an amazing time! Not downplaying the negative reviews I read before we went that caused concern after we had booked, but our stay was wonderful!! We’ve been traveling through RCI for 36 years and this was one of my favourite places we’ve stayed through them. I felt that we were provided the amenities to create for ourselves, a memorable vacation. Had a two bedroom condo for my Husband and I and our adult Son and his Girlfriend. We had a Marina view which was great, and enjoyed time spent out on the big terrace. Condo was well equipped, and we did a lot of meals in there. We bought some disposable type containers for cooking in the oven but felt we were able to cook pretty much everything with what was provided. The beach was great-yes there was sea**** on it-but it’s the ocean! Loved the naturalness of it-amazing place to unwind! Pool was wonderful too-we were a bit disappointed that the beach attendant who drilled the holes for the umbrellas and gave us the chairs (very nice fella) was not there on Mondays and Tuesdays-this forced us to seek out the pool-which was a good thing. When the beach attendant was back Wednesday, we did beach mornings and pool in the afternoon! We bartenders were efficient and nice-Pool Hut guy was super! There were negative mentions in past reviews about the grounds being uneven and unsafe-this is a hilly area, where you can go from grass to sidewalk to street-not unsafe if you watch where you are going! I bought flashlights for my family and we lit up our path-and we walked all over Palma Del Mar!! Plus the free shuttle service anywhere in Palma Del Mar was a great option if you were concerned about walking in the evening, had health issues or concerns, or just didn’t feel like walking. Th we drivers were all very nice. Having the open air Mall up the small hill near the pool was great! Good restaurants, and the Grocery Store had pretty much anything you needed and the lady that ran it was super! Loved Brasas restaurant snd view, and the restaurant Pescateria was excellent food and amazing views and ambiance. Loved the grounds of Club Cala and Palma Del Mar-well maintained and and lovely! So, we really loved this resort! A few stand out people that worked there-Giovanny was an excellent person to have at checkin-business like and hospitable as well as very pleasant and friendly!! Carla in the office was very nice too! Housekeepers were excellent. Francisco in security was very friendly and helpful-always a warm hello and smile! The guy who gave us our wristbands was very nice. And I enjoyed observing Kevin in security-he was the young man who kept track of who was next to go into the office to checkin, and who patrolled that area and the pool area as well. He had a watchful demeanour and concern at all times-acted like he owned the the place which is a good quality in an employee!! The only mistake we made in booking this vacation at Club Cala, was bo
