Not the best resort on the island, Cala 'n Bosch, Santo Tomas, Cala Galdana and Son Bou beat it IMHO. When I visited flies were a pain and I got a selection of mozzi bites. I found the beach to be a bit small for the number of people on it and a little dirty.

Have you seen the resort using Google maps? It can show you quite a bit.

One thing to be very careful of.......we got burgled when we hired a villa right in the centre, tour operator tried to tell us we left the door unlocked - no we didn't and was able to prove myself how the burglars got in, the windows could easily be opened from the outside even though they were locked. It was extremely traumatic and they even left a knife on my youngest sons bed as the safe was in their room and we had disturbed them on our return. The locksmith said he had been called out a lot of times and the best advice he could offer was do not leave ANYTHING behind, put all valuables into your pockets. Police were able to trace burglars to Morocco as they had used my mobile phone to make calls. Tour operator no help, villa could not be secured that night and they offered no help at all despite being repeatedly asked. Certainly put us off Cala Porter for life although I know you can get this problem anywhere. As to the resort there is not much there, we were disappointed. sparkycat x

Don't panic, I would be happy to stay there but I think a car would be handy if you can get one for a few days. Get around and vist the other resorts. Remember, a lot of people go back there each year so when I say I prefer another resort you may not.

Have a great time!
