We have stayed at both of these hotels and my wife liked the Alicia rooms more however some of the latest reviews on this site and others have not been very complimentary about The Alicia especially regarding the meals! I am determined to stay in this area as I absolutely love it, especially the sea view from the Alicias rooms I am prepared to pay the extra for this view from the Talayot. Please can I have some honest feedback as sometimes reading the reviews you feel like the people have been on different holidays! I know what pleases one person does not please another so the odd complaint means nothing but quite a few is a different matter.

Many Thanks

Tony

Cant help you with The Alicia as have never stayed there but loved The Talayot.We were there at the beginning of November 2008 and absolutely loved it.We had a sea view room and a big room it was as well and the views were lovely.
Cleanliness and food at hotel was great and we are planning on returning sometime in April.

Re: Hotel Alicia or Hotel Talayot cala Bona/Millor

Previous post hit the nail on the head. We stayed in the Talayot Jul 2008. We had a sea view at no extra cost. Rooms large, Room Service very good, Food very good. Trousers must be worn at evening meal. This sets a good standard. You can also choose from the Ala Cart menu at a small cost. But the buffet food is fantastic anyway. Our plane was delayed last year and we did not arrive until 11pm. They made us some food on our arrival for free. That set the tone for the rest of the holiday. Lots of choice also for my 10 year old. The hotel is a bit dated especially around the pool area but it is clean and the staff are brilliant. It is also in a great location in Calla Millor. And best of all - It was the first year in almost 10 years I did not have to get up at 7am and run down to put a towel out. There was always spare sun beds any time of the day. Andrea's is a scream. He is the jack of all trades around the hotel. Mainly there for customer entertainment and more. You will enjoy his antics on the bingo,
Choose the Talayot. You wont be dissappointed. :cheers

I would echo everything said in the last post. We have stayed in the Talayot twice and we love it.
We havent stayed in the Alicia but have met lots of people who always choose it, we have however
been in lots of times for their entertainment.

Thanks for the replies folks. We had more more or less decided on the Talayot due to the bad reviews about the Alicia. We booked it on Saturday and cannot wait now for the end of June to come and 2 weeks in glorious Cala Millor!! We had to pay £140.00 supplement for larger room plus seaview!! Does anybody know the e-mail address for the Talayot?

Many Thanks
