Had a really nice week at the Melia in Cala d'or. Everything about the hotel was spot on. Room was clean and spacious (the bed was massive!). Staff were always friendly and helpful and the hotel, grounds and pools are gorgeous. Around the outside pool each pair of sun beds are separated by little hedges so you always have a bit of privacy. There are sun beds and cabanas dotted around the gardens so we had no trouble finding somewhere to relax. The pool bar staff are excellent and will even come and find you in your cabana to deliver a cold beer.
Plenty of beaches, bars and restaurants a short walk away. This resort has something for everyone - it caters for couples or people with families, you can find your English Bar and Sunday lunch, but there are also lots of smart bars and restaurants serving authentic Spanish food and Tapas. The Marina area is a little further away, about a 20 minute walk. This was where we had most of our meals, we tried all of the Spanish restaurants on the Melia side of the Marina and we never had a bad experience. There is also a really good Thai restaurant there. All of the staff in all of the restaurants were excellent. The service was always very good, they seemed to know if you wanted a quick meal or if you were in a more leisurely mood and wanted to watch the millionaires yachts coming and going in the Marina. Take your sunglasses though, if you sit near the water just before sunset the sun is low in the sky and shines right in your eyes
