Cala D'Or at end of feb

Hi we have booked a get away week at the end of feb and we are staying close to Cala D'or resort.

we will have a hire car while we are there but as we have never been to Majorca before we were wondering what it would be like

what sort of weaher/temps can we expect

is it shorts weather during the day? sunbathing? how cold can we expect it to get in the evening that type of thing, we are not expecting main summer sun type temps but would like to know what to take with us?

Also how open or closed can we expect to find the area? will most bars & restaurants be open or will we be limited as to where we can go, is this out of season or does it tend to run all year round?

Also having a car where do people suggest that we can go look or explore etc we like to look around the islands we go to and what about the caves of drach will they be open and what sort of price should we expect to pay to get in or for a trip round them?

looking forward to our break and look forward to what people have to say

Thanks in anticipation

Cala D`or

Hi, I think me and the wife have (finally) settled on Cala D`or for our summer break.
When I check the agencies for an apartment they seem to be mostly 3 star.
Is there any company that has nice 4star apartments in this area. Someone like Protur or Viva or is it just an older resort?

If you want four star, I would highly recommend Sa Marina. Book direct as it is only available with a food option through Thomas Cook I believe.
We went self catering here in 2004, good size apartments, balcony access from bedroom and living room, digitally controlled air conditioning and the flexibility to hunt down the decent restaurants that are scattered throughout the resort.

As you are probably aware there are 7 main beaches in Cala Dor, our favourite personally was Ferrera beach (the one the Azul Player looks over). There is a gate at the back of the appartments (past the pool).Go through that turn left....about 10 metres.....steps to the beach.....can`t get much closer than that. There is a beachy kind of shop down there and a cafe which serves ice cold san miguel :lol:

Its well worth walkoing down to the Marina one night to eat. Its very picturesque and makes a lovely change from the hustle and bustle of the mai resort centre. A little more expensive but well worth it!

cal a dor

I think i have made a terrible mistake i have booked a holiday to cal a dor all inclusive at the marina corfu and have just found out the town is 15 mins walk away and i will be flying with " flybe" (who are these) having a 5 year old in a wheelchair its going to be tough but also think my two boys age 18 19 will be bored staing in hotel unless the walk to cal a dor is there pubs and shops along the way to cal a dor or is it just a straight walk im feeling very disappointed and feel like cancelling

this hotel i think is cala egos which is quite a few shops and restraunts we went to cala dor once but prefered cala egos it was a nice walk about 20 minutes to cala dor but the restraunt we were served in was very expensive as it was overlooking the harbour. If you have meals out i recomend the best western steakhouse do massive meals and tonys bar do fab breakfast your hotel as good reviews and their will be a lot to do probably for the kids i wouldnt cancel just make the best of it my kids enjoy it as long as their is apool and a beach but is see your kids are older by the way their is a cheap mini train that goes into cala dor we didnt use it because we had a car good look anway.

dont know this hotel but if it is in the calor egos area it is a pleasant stroll to cala d'or round the harbour there are pubs and bars on the way but its only five minutes on the noddy train.i have been to nearly all the resorts in majorca and rate c'ala d'or as one of the best .ENJOY

Places to eat in Cala D'Or

Can anyone recommend any places to eat in Cala D'Or? We are actually staying in Cala D'Or (at the Sa Marina Aparthotel) staying self catering.

We could pay extra and eat in at the hotel, but would like to eat out a few nights at least, for a change.

places to eat in cala dor

Hiya

I have just returned from cala dor and found some great places to eat. Not sure where your apartments are,but if you are near the marina then its a 15min walk to the centre of the resort. This is where we stayed (cala dor playa apartments) Ok....our favourite place was called mestral was adnvertised as an italian,but it had a great variety of food not just itailian. Walshies was our favourite british place. I know boring you might be thinkin but it was the closest place to us on our 1st night. near the cala gran beach is 2 places one called las palmas, cheep and cheerful but good portions. On our last nite we splashed out on a place called la fontanella, really nice food, bit pricey but worth it. This is also near cala gran beach but in the pedestrian area. There are loads of places to eat so am sure you will find something suitable. Take a look at http://www.majorca-mallorca.co.uk
Click on the map and see if you can see where you are situated.

Good luck

Thanks Floss,

Will try these out when we go. Italian sounds nice, you can't go wrong with a Pizza (usually!)

Cheers
