Got back yesterday and had a great time, (6 weeks ago I was in a 5 star hotel in Benidorm so this had a lot to beat).

Very clean, corridors open air, fault with hot water-boiler changed within the hour, plenty shops and cafe`s around, a breakfast 5 to 6 euros but they open at 9am. Go to pool at 8 to 8:15am and grab a chair and parasol the beds start getting unchained then 2 euro each and sit in front of apartments 155 and 116 and you will always get one. They are unlocked and handed out clockwise the first half of the week then anticlockwise the rest.

Compared to others I met in Majorca this system worked well, try Fawlty Towers litte bar and cafe 4pm till 12 2 drinks alcoholic for the price of one (3euru for 2 pints).

Hollywood bar opposite saw Shane on x -factor now he is going to be a star, he even wiped out the international coloured singer, awesome vocal range good luck to him.

Would I go back yes my 14yr old and 9 yr old loved it. Dont hire tv remote telly all Spanish apart from sky news, hire safe as its the cheapest Ive come across.

Stayed in Sol cala D or on first floor room 211 after about a One hour transfer.Could not knock apartment it was fine was good size, air con in bedroom and living room fully adjustable.

Staff on site including cleaners all friendly etc. Only used resort for meals a couple of dinner times while by pool and was good.

Had to get up earlier on holiday than at home to get beds 07:55 around pool but moaned first couple of times but then became a social event. Beach was far too busy to relax prefered pool which was of good size.

Entertainment on an evening was poor except for the magic show, every magic show we have seen on holidays all over have been good and the one here was good for kids and adults.

Last year was the 4th year we had stayed at the Sol Cala D'or Apartments and we are due to go again in June this year, therefore I think that statement alone says it all.

The hotel is perfectly situated, staff incredibly helpful and polite, apartments are clean and cleaning staff friendly.

I cannot really comment on the entertainment as we tend to go out most evenings, not because we don't want to stay in the hotel but we enjoy to have a wander around and see the evening sights. It is a perfect place to stay with children and my daughter who is now 10 absolutely adores the place.

Each year we get a Christmas card from the hotel and this year my husband also got a birthday card. Last year because we had stayed there 4 times we had champagne in the apartment and were treated to a meal at their 5 star sister hotel just up the road, which was fantastic.

My only comment would be that you have to pay for your sunbeds which I feel is a bit unfair and you do have to get up early to get one but to be honest it's a small price to pay for being able to stay somewhere you feel safe and comfortable. There is a beach just down the road if you prefer not to stay around the pool.

The bars and restaurants are everywhere and you will be spoilt for choice.

A good nights entertainment can be found at the Tropical Gardens just across the road from the hotel (but out of noise distance) where they have various acts one each evening, however the drinks can be expensive but they do lay on entertainment for the kids also which is great for us parents. Would recommend this hotel to anyone. Can't wait until June!!!!!

We arrived on the Friday afternoon from a one and half hour transfer to our hotel the Sol Cala D'or . When we arrived the rooms were unfortunately not ready for us due to the late departure of the last occupants; this was however rectified with a nice free drink of your choice; mine was a nice pint of the local beer.

The staff was friendly and polite, however there was only one downside; trying to locate our room from a fire plan without room numbers was very interesting but we found it all the same.

The room was excellent for what we had planned for our weeks stay. It was situated on the top floor over looking the pool and also had a slight view onto the front of the hotel overlooking the evening entertainment of other night spots. (Tropical Gardens for one). Another slight problem was the thinness of the walls and floors; we heard all soughts! A couple of tiffs, along with pots and pans being prepared for breakfast.

The cooker is electric and there are a wide variety of utensils and crockery to see you through the week; we only used the kettle (heated by the cooker hob, an electrical kettle would have been better) for hot drinks. There is the availability to hire a microwave oven although I think that should have been part of the furniture. Beds were comfortable and the rooms cleaned every two days.

There were plenty of Spar shops to provide you with your goodies including fresh milk as the restaurants only seemed to have UHT milk. (Only a minor observation)

The pool was just large enough, and you required hiring your sun bed for 2 euros. (To me this was a good thing; it stopped that throwing your towel on the bed for the best spot thing).

Hotel entertainment was extremely limited to every Wednesday a singer with a BBQ which you required to book in advance, on the Thursday a magician. There was however lots of entertainment in other locations; Tropical Gardens which was a matter of 100 yds from the hotel provided live acts every night.

The first night in the hotel room at 23:15 we were a bit concerned about the ambient noise from other outside entertainments; the karaoke specials, but on the dot of 23:59 it stopped.

Food in the hotel was never put to the test but other guests were very impressed. Us well we spent each day at a different restaurant to test their wares. There are some very good places to eat out there! The only down side was the staff, touting for your trade and treating you as though you were incapable of reading a menu. Then there were the staff that treated you with courtesy and got our trade.

The beach is a matter of a 5 minute walk with excellent white sand and inviting water. Cold to start off with but then you got used to it.

I snorkelled each day and was impressed with the amount of fish of all sizes that are so close into the shore; remember to take some bread to feed them, you are garaunteed to have them swimming around you. For those who are interested in diving there is a Padi Diving centre there, as well as doing intro dives to venturing out on various boat dives. Just remember to take your certificate with you it does help as I found out (left at home:( ).

This location is really suited for your lazy days by the pool or sea, and you will need a car to travel to any where of interest.

There are lots of small bays situated around the place as the word "Cala" represents the word "Bay". So for all you laid back people who want to watch the world go by; this is the place for you.

We will go back but with the Mini Meees in tow, it seemed very child friendly.

Happy holidays!

This is our third visit to these apartments. We've found them excellent. Just 5 minutes from Cala Gran beach and 7-8 minutes from the centre of the resort, we always enjoy our stay.

We use the apartments as a base, eating in some days and also eating at the many restaurants in the Centre and at the lovely Marina, about 15 minutes walk.

The staff are very friendly, the studios and apartments very clean and the sofabeds are really comfortable.

Just one downside - the sunbeds are locked away each evening and you are woken up next morning quite early to the noise of the sunbeds being put out.

We've already booked to return next September.

Visited the Sol Cala d'or at the end of July for two weeks, and had such a good time that we have booked to go back next year. Although the apartment was quite small it was big enough for the four of us. We were on the top floor overlooking the pool, so no problem with potential clog dancers in the floor above. It was great of an evening, sitting on the balcony with a bottle of chilled white and being able to keep an eye on what the kids were doing.

Apartment had a/c in the bedroom and the living room. Unfortunately it broke in the living room during the second week, however reception sent the maintenance guys straight away and they had the unit replaced the next day.

All the staff in the complex were very friendly and helpful. Special mention for Julia who worked in the grill/pizza snack bar - she chatted away with the children all the time.

Fausto was the resident entertainment guy - starting with aqua aerobics at 10.30, followed by kids games (pool, basketball, boules etc.,) and then adult competitions. During the afternoon water polo was played in the pool. Of an evening there was the usual entertainment round the pool. Fausto worked reallly hard all day and certainly made the holiday for our two boys.

The complex was very clean with paintwork being touched up all the time.

Ideally located - just two minutes from Cala Gran beach and the pedestrian area.

One problem there is with the apartments is that there is not a great amount of space around the pool. Loungers are locked up at night and people started waiting for them at 8am and they didn't get unlocked until 9am. They also cost 2E a day - a bit of a rip off when you think what you pay for your holiday. Could you imagine if they charged you for using your beds in your apartment. Any how there are plenty of loungers, just not a lot of space to put them. This didn't spoil the holiday, it just meant you got to know the other guests a bit quicker.

Felt we were in the best located apartments. The ground floor apartments didn't have a lot of privacy and some of the other apartments looked out over Hollywood Bar or a busyish road.

Would certainly recommend these apartments for a family holiday.

We have visited the Sol Cala D'or twice now and would happily go back again.

We found the apartments to be of a very high standard and always very clean.

The staff are friendly and always helpful.

The location is perfect for getting to all parts of Cala d'Or including the centre and all the beaches.

The hotel restaurant provided very nice food although with the number of places to eat in the resort we have only used it once or twice.
