Not a good experience
We were very disappointed with our stay at the Catalonia Del Mar. Myself and my husband arrived for 4 days to celebrate our 20th Wedding Anniversary.
The room was very small amd dated but clean. The bathroom was very tired and the bath and tiles needed to be updated as the grout in the tiles were brown. The shower was awful and could not get the temperature right and also water was trickling and not powerful enough.
The Aircon was not very good at all. Trying to keep cool in the room and getting ready to go out and we were just sweating. You could hardly feel the aircon even on full and through the night was too warm, which stopped us having a good night sleep.
The food was very poor and the same food for 3 days. The one day we went for breakfast at 9.45 and there was no eggs or sausages. We were told they not cooking any more even tho breakfast was until 10.30. Very disappointing. You are not allowed to fill water bottles up and the evening you have to pay for drinks including water.
The staff were friendly and the Hotel clean but this should not be a 4 star hotel. Needs a total renovation for the price we paid. We will not be returning to this Hotel in the future.
First time to Cala Bona loved it and will return but at a different Hotel.
Not good enough.
It’s such a shame that our room was so ‘mid’. Air con doesn’t appear to work. Ants in our room all over the coffee cups. Stains up the wall and yellowing grout and dirty corners. Stains on the floor in the toilet. Our bed was on wheels and dropped to the floor with us when we sat down.
Gave us a different room for air con, which didn’t work. Was a box room with no balcony.
Breakfast buffet is good as well as the pool. The staff are very nice, which is such a shame because they must have to deal with complaints.
Stuck in the 80s
Air con doesn’t work - it’s a weak cooling system Decor is from the mid 80s Entertainment so loud we couldn’t hear ourselves check in Dining area has plastic chairs Pool and sauna is over the road and not attached to resort Shower - you stand in a bath
Photos need updating, not 4 star
Similar to a lot of other reviews , this hotel is … ok, but just ok, the photos absolutely need updating because they are not a true representation of what you get. Main positives are the staff and the location, but just strolling round the area and seeing some of the other 4 star hotels was very deflating . When we arrived at 3am, we had been travelling all day due to delays, the coach journey was an hour and 40 mins and we were dropped off on a road, down a street round the back, no idea where we were and no direction from the coach driver . Found the hotel with google maps , walked in and I immediately knew the poor reviews were accurate, very dated, damp smell in the reception, ripped and marked wall paper , stained walls, the rooms are basic, we had 3 “superior Mountain View rooms “ all we could see were the bins , the other hotel building and a bar ( but to be fair we were out every day so view not the end of the world ) our room had a table and chairs , the others just had a bed and a long desk under the tv, no drawers , just shelves and a big wardrobe, only 2 English channels and they were news , Cleaning was hit and miss, some days our towels were just hung back up and not changed, the cups were just wiped out and turned back upside down, they still had marks and wet in them, tea coffee not always replenished. You can hear every flush and running tap in the walls, when the room above us took a shower we would have a huge leak through the ceiling into the bath, we didn’t bother reporting because at that point I had made my peace with it being what it was . Food was fine, you won’t go hungry, I would of liked more pasta salads/more salad bits in the evening, the layout did cause a bit of congestion, breakfast had literally everything you could want . The pool is small, and always full of people floating on pool noodles so no room to swim , pool area is cramped and busy, the indoor pool is quieter but you can’t take drinks into that area , the gym wasn’t adequate in my opinion, a few cardio machines, a smith machine with missing attachments and a mix of odd dumbbells , the heaviest being 5kg, I was especially gutted about this because we do like to use the gym regularly on holiday. Entertainment was 9:30 to 10:30 in the evening but then they turn the lights all the way up after , no background music to sit and have a drink, but just walking down the strip in the evening and you see the difference in other hotels. It’s true this is fine as a base for exploring the area but I kind of feel like “fine for base” isn’t good enough for a 4 star hotel, if you’re looking at booking from the photos, lower your expectations.

Mix of pros and cons
Mix of pros and cons. Nice pool well maintained, clean rooms and food ok. Reception, dining and bar area very old fashioned and cheaply decorated- not at all what I’d expect for a four star adult only hotel. Stale musty smell which definitely put us off staying in the bar for a drink. We definitely won’t be returning as some of the other four star hotels in the area looked much nicer
