Cala Galdana Adults Only Holidays

A perfect holiday paradise Can’t wait for the first opportunity to return

Cannot fault this hotel. All the staff are genuinely friendly and made sure everything was going well with our stay. Food was good and varied for all meals. Pool area was nice and without a fight for a sunbed every day. The views over the bay are stunning, we will return again for sure.

Room: clean, comfortable and nice patio space Staff: excellent, very helpful and lovely, if there was a problem they sorted it. Breakfast: great selection for breakfast, was a yummy experience in the morning, always looked forward to it. (Note this is a very relaxing and slower pace, there is no rush at this breakfast) Location: it is in the middle of no where with not much around, we had a hire car and good job as you need to drive everywhere. It is close to the local town which is only 12 minutes taxi for €15, on an interesting road. Amenities: there isn’t much other than a lovely pool area and lots of sun beds available, there is a very small outdoor fitness area but it needs some attention. The sunset bar is nice but it’s is a walk and wear flat shoes. Overall it’s a lovely country retreat which is very peaceful and relaxing.

Great staff hotel spotless nice indoor pool Breakfast wide choice only slight negative negative was no English TV

A dream! Very relaxing and the staff is incredible.

Lovely hotel - very clean , great aesthetics , stayed half board, meal options were ok - Service at the restaurant by the beach was slow. Staff overall were very friendly & accommodating.

Meliá Cala Galdana offers an expensive stay that doesn't quite justify the cost. If you love a massive, high-energy "cruise ship on land" vibe like Club Med, you’ll appreciate it. The activities for kids and adults are exceptionally well thought out, the outdoor gym is a nice touch, the junior suite is lovely, and the breakfast is excellent. That's where It stops. The operational flaws are hard to ignore compared to nearby boutique hotels: Rooms: The standard Family Room was unacceptably small; with an extra bed, you couldn't even open a suitcase. We had to pay to upgrade to a Junior Suite. While the suite was great, the plumbing was incredibly loud—every upstairs flush sounded like a rainstorm on our ceiling. Also, the shower temperature takes forever to adjust. Elevators: Painfully slow and packed. We routinely waited 5+ minutes on the 4th floor just to find one with space. Dining: All restaurants were fully booked for dinner our entire stay. The hotel saves zero tables for overnight guests, which is a major oversight. Pool & Beach: Inexplicably for a family resort, the pool closes at 7 PM while the sun is still out. Beach access is down a very steep ramp; by evening, the metal handrail has baked in the sun, making it too hot to hold during the tough climb back up. Verdict: A resort with momentary glimpses of excellence amidst ongoing disappointments. Excellent entertainment, but too many basic functional flaws for the price.
