The Ponent is in Cala Ferrera which is a ten minute walk to the centre of Cala D'or it is right next to a really nice beach and is part of the hotel complex. There are plenty of bars and resturants around without the need to walk to the town if you want but your kids will prefer around the square in C,dor as this is where all the youngsters gather late at night but it can get a bit loutish and i do not let my 15 year old daughter there unless we are nearby. The Las Rocas and Martha's are in Cala Egos, Las Rocas is known for being very German but is on the headland in a great position for sea views but not so good to walk to anywhere else except C-Egos.
Martha's is in C-egos just off the main street close to two small coves, it also has two large swimming pools and pizza bar and kids club and is always busy, out of the three Martha's is best suited for teenagers as my daughter and friends often go there of a night to meet other kids and watch the shows that they put on there. There are plenty of bars and resturants in C-Egos now, but C-Dor is a 30 minute walk or a five min taxi ride away, € 5 one way. If you walk to C-Dor you pass the marina with all the millionaires boats on show along with many bars and resturants, wherever you stay this is worth a visit.
Hope this helps in your decision, 28SAC.

Hi, we have booked to go to Cala D'or from 28th Sept- 12th October this year. Does anyone know if most places will be open? Also what the weather will be like? Thanks in advance.........Linda

Hi Linda, yes every where will be open in Cala D'or and Cala Egos.
The Rocamarina is in cala Egos, The weather is usually still good at this time of year and not so many people around so the beaches are not so crowded. Have a look at,

Hi Titch,

Thanks for the recommendations - stopping at Cala D'or Playa apartments. Will try them all as I love good food! Bang goes the diet again! Will check on map how far apartments are from the marina

Hi Hippyjak

The cala dor playa apartments are not in walking distance. But at the back of the apartments the land train comes 10 to the hour starting at 9.50 every hour and takes you to the marina,also stops of on other parts of the resort. really recommend this with children. Its a good way of seeing the resort. The cost of the train was 7 euros this was for 3 people on a return ticket

Have fun
