Sol Balmoral Hotel - Calas de Mallorca - Majorca

Arrived at the Sol Balmoral hotel around midday & were taken straight to the Chihuahuas, where the only reception is. We were allocated a room in the Balmoral & were bussed up to it by hotel’s own minibus - a nice touch.

Room OK, if a little small & we had no TV (have previously stayed in Sol hotels & had a TV, so this was a surprise). The food was fine with enough choice for this fussy eater - desserts were sublime!

The pool area was a little crowded, but we saw none of the normal morning sunbed dash. Indeed, waited one morning for about 20 minutes while the poolside was jetwashed.  Entertainment for the whole Sol complex seemed to centre on our hotel as it had the only outside stage. With early diners from the other hotels making their way up to the Balmoral for the evening, getting a table was always a major challenge & the bar staff were kept pretty busy. Perhaps the load could have been spread a little better or a stage constructed in the Mastines grounds - plenty of room there!
