Family-friendly Hotels in Cala Romantica

We came for a short stay at Apartamemtos Sol Romantica tobget away from the hustle and bustle and I have to say that it did not dissapoint. We stayed in a 1 bedroom apartment overlooking the pool. This is a small hotel set in a quiet location, a short walk from the beach. There is good transport to Porto Cristo with a bus stop and the tourist mini road train both stopping directly outside. We had a lovely friendly welcome from the lady in reception who provided us with all of the information we needed before showing us to our room. It felt like a very personal service which is unusual in our experience. The grounds of the hotel are immaculate and the pool is a good size for the number of apartments with plenty of space to relax. There were always sinbeds available and lits of space between them. The room was spotlessly clean and fairly big. It had a small kitchen (2 ring hob, microwave and fridge), a dining table with 4 chairs, a sofa (sofa bed), 2 comfortable chairs and a small flatscreen tv. The beds were ok, nothing special but comfortable enough although the rubber mattress protectors are horrible. There is good aircon in both the lounge and the bedroom. The bathroom is ok although the shower in the bath is a bit treacherous due to the rounded bottom of the bath. The apartments are well looked after but they are very dated and the furniture is old but it is functional and was good enough for us. The restaurant is excellent and the service is very good. The waiter is very friendly and polite. Unfortunately the restaurant is open to the public and diners also have access to the swiming pool and sun loungers. This meant that when the restaurant opened for lunch a few local families turned up with small children and the serenity was no more. They were there for the children to be able to use the pool and play and this is what they did, quite noisily. This is a good time to leave the hotel grounds and go to the beach. Overall we had a lovely stay and will definitely return when we come to this side of the island.
