Canarios Park Hotel - Calas de Mallorca - Majorca

Booked a last minute holiday to Majorca at the beginning of August as we were fed up with British weather & had planned to go camping. We were originally booked in the Hotel Samoa only to be told at 6am in the morning there was no room at the Inn, so we were sent up to the Canarios Park hotel by taxi although not initially happy about the situation. However, after a bit of a kip we took stock of the situation & aimed to make the best of the new arrangement. To our surprise, this hotel was a nice alternative & some other friends we travelled with were also staying here.

I would say the food was very good & there was plenty of variety on offer. The restaurant had air conditioning & was frequently cleaned. We mainly used the top pool rather than the other one which was quite deep, as most of the sports/games were organized from here. It was great to chill out & have a craic with the other guests when it came to archery, pistol shooting, French boules etc. My daughter and I even picked up a diploma each for finishing second!

The rooms were a bit cramped & the lifts were a bit of a lottery as to whether they were working. Although there was no air conditioning in our room, we were on the 6th floor & the wind blew in from time to time to give us a breeze.

The entertainment revolved around a mini disco, then bingo & then whatever the team put on after that. Some evenings this was a bit dire & they would definitely struggle to get past the auditions on BGT! It was more fun though when the guests took part on other nights.

Apart from an ear infection I picked up (probably from the pool) we had wall to wall sunshine & had a brilliant time. We would return to the Canarios Park hotel & we even checked out the Samoa again, which seemed a bit too lively anyway for our liking. The resort of Calas de Mallorca isn’t that big so although the hotel is out on a limb, it made a change to catch the train down to the beach or even walk the 20 minutes into the small resort. Great for kids & families & good value for money.
