Minura Cala Galdana & Apartamentos d'Aljandar

Must be around 9 years since the last visit & the Minura Cala Galdana is still just as good. We received an upgraded room looking over the pool so that was an unexpected bonus. Hotel is immaculately clean as are the rooms. Great pool areas and 2 mins walk to the beach. * Just one thing, the menu cards above the various food dishes are hard to read, maybe a bit bigger ?

This is a 4* hotel. It’s in a good position facing south & overlooking the sea and a lovely bay. It has a large reception area with lots of seating. The staff are very friendly and helpful. First impression of our room was a bit disappointing, it was a bit sparse! The “wardrobe” is just an alcove in the wall with no door with 2 VERY small drawers. All the rooms only have juliette balconies that is the full width of the room but is only about a foot deep. I should have realised that from the photographs! There are 2 chairs in the room, a plastic one and an uncomfortable wooden one. There is a kettle in the room and on arrival there were 2 sachets of coffee, 2 tea bags and 2 sugars but no milk. The next day I asked reception about the milk they said they don’t provide it, also the coffee & tea bags are NOT replaced, the receptionist said “The 2 coffee & tea bags are a gift for your arrival”! Is this penny pinching or what? The hotel has a spa – a sauna etc and a spa room. The spa room has to be booked, we booked to go in one day but quite honestly it’s seen better days! The hot tub temperature was barely warm . . . . it should be about 100 F, this one wasn’t! We came out after about a few minutes. The swimming pool is spotlessly clean but the usual sun bed brigade are out early putting towels on the beds as soon as staff put the sun beds out and leaving them there for ages, even though there is a sign saying not to do so. The evening entertainment is better than average and it’s outside on a stage by the pool. Bathroom/toilet doesn’t have an extractor, never known that in a hotel. There is a bus stop directly opposite the hotel entrance that will take you to Mahon. And Ciutadella in about 30 minutes. Busses to Ciutadella are 09.45, 10.10, 13.20 etc and return 10.40, 14.00 and 21.00. If you are bed & breakfast there are a couple of nice restaurants very close to the hotel. Turn left after the main entrance and there is Cala Mitjana and next door is Trevi, both good. Also restaurant bar & Tapas Alaska along the front is good. Personally speaking this hotel is not 4* it’s more like a 3* plus. We wouldn’t return.

The staff were very helpful The suite we got was amazing lovely balcony with a beautiful water feature All the areas around the hotel were very clean the pool area had plenty of sunbeds and on a night they were removed and tables put of for the entertainment the staff work really hard and are very pleasant and we them for a wonderful relaxing holiday

Lovely hotel. Location is excellent, a short pleasant walk to the beautiful beach. Very clean , rooms are well equipped, shower excellent. Rooms on the front of hotel have a great view and sun all day. Rooms on the back face a cliff so not great view but quieter on an evening when entertainment is by the pool. Staff work so hard , cleaners , bar and restaurant staff , all friendly. Buffet restaurant was good for breakfast and dinner. We always managed to find something, wide variety for both meals. Rooms serviced daily. Transfer from airport approximately 45 minutes via coach transfer. The resort itself is very quiet but that suited us for a relaxing week .

All the staff were amazing and polite all the time. Thank you so much for the upgrade. Food was good. Standards have always been high all the years we have been coming and would highly recommend. Reception staff very good and swimming pool was lovely. Enough sun beds to go around and no 6.00am rush.

The best thing about this hotel is its value for money. Yes, there are things that could be better but not at this price. Efficient friendly staff and clean hotel. Buffet restaurant pretty much the same everyday but at £35 for the half board option for a week, who can complain. Location in a beautiful resort is excellent.
