Reviews for La Cala Resort
Review 1:Week of Xmas,location of room on Westside.very cold also due to marble floors, heating measuring not updated. Bath , shower not easy, not safe, to reach. However the hotel was not full this time of the year, they gave us a minor room with smallest terras.
Review 2:Staff, Breakfast, restaurant, accomodaties green and quiet.
Review 3:Bar food by the pool bar service a bit slow not enough staff had to look for a member of staff to get a drink at 12noon by the pool
Review 4:Lovely hotel wedding food was top class .. Bar food could be improved on breakfast great .. All staff very helpful
Review 5:Nothing
Review 6:Lovely resort, booked to use the Spa, one of the best I have visited. Pleasant professional staff, excellent quality everything, would stay again.
Review 7:Access road quite extreme, like a roller-coaster. Room too small for the price. Walls between rooms too thin. Weird headboard of the bed fixed to the wall. Casual restaurant should stay open later (9.30 last order - in Spain?).
Review 8:Very friendly and efficient staff. Parking free and near the entrance. Good wifi. Good breakfast. Clean. Attention to detail in room and bathroom. Beautiful surroundings
Review 9:We liked the pool, especially, and all the other facilities. The staff were very helpful and our room was excellent with stunning views. We enjoyed the greenness of our surroundings and the feeling of being away from the hustle and bustle of the coast.
Review 10:Nothing, everything was excellent. You do really need a car to get around as it's far from facilities.
Review 11:The staff, the pool, the private terras, the views, beautiful resort.
Review 12:Cleaning of the rooms, always late afternoon, not properly cleaned just beds been made. This needs to be improved.
Review 13:Lovely hotel for mature couples, great location.
Review 14:Although I had paid for access to the spa during one night stay I didn't have opportunity to use it. We stayed for several hours after check out prior to our flight but the spa wouldn't allow me to use the shower facilities before leaving - I just felt it was a little unnecessary.
Review 15:No inflatables allowed in the pool.
Review 16:The staff are so friendly and helpful they can't do enough for you I will be definitely staying again. It is a little out the way but if you have a car its not a issue.
Review 17:Wine list limited
Review 18:Staff great snd very helpful. 90 mins free spa access per day. Sun bed availability reasonable. Access to practice greens given to teach 4 year old putting
Review 19:Maybe they could of prompted the entertainment more than they did.. We had to find out for ourselves.
Review 20:It was a beautiful location. Great staff. Kids loved it too They catered for my dietary needs. Everyone morning without evening asking they brought out gluten free fresh bread for me, which was great
Review 21:guests saving sunbeds with towels limiting availabilty for others...we were unable to enjoy the pool area
Review 22:Everything! Biggest bed I've slept in.Lovely Spa and great breakfast.
Review 23:There is nothing not to like about this hotel
Review 24:Everything. From the moment you arrive to the moment you (have to unfortunately) leave there is nothing about this hotel that isn't excellent. Don't be put off going if you are not a golfer.
Review 25:The food was expensive and all frozen. Frozen burgers. Nachos were laughable. A packet of them in a bowl with squeezy cheese and squeezy green stuff. Told the manager. All very misleading on the menu. Pillows were horrible and lumpy. Bath is not great and too wide to step up into. I banged my leg quite badly.
Review 26:Beautiful resort. Fantastic breakfast choice and. Beautiful room with massive balcony and fabulous views. Amazing pool and enthusiastic gym staff. Clean hotel and two sinks in the bathroom.
Review 27:Beautiful drive to the hotel. Stunning views across the golf courses from the rooms. Food is excellent and staff are very friendly. Room was spacious, clean with large balconies. Golf staff were particularly friendly.
Review 28:'Private' balcony was not private. Room was small and not as displayed on website No golf included in package although requested.
Review 29:Location, restaurant staff, bar staff, were generally friendly and helpful. Pool area clean and well attended.
Review 30:Staff in the tapas bar was a bit not well organized. Took quite long for all services there.
Review 31:At the hotel very pleasant staff. Good location, but a bit remote with nothing of interest around.
Review 32:No bad experience noticed there was peoe with young kids hotel pool freezing would help if pool was heated would also encourage more young family's to visit la cala
Review 33:Hotel has raised its game and it shows very good
Review 34:I would only say the food could be improved.
Review 35:We liked everything about La Cala as always, the hotel, golf courses, staff is very nice. The food could be a lot better though.
Review 36:- spa weak - all 3 golf courses are very technical and not for beginners - far away from everything and taxi to the closest other golf course is min 22eur/1way, to the city as well - necessary to use the buggy, almost imposible to walk
Review 37:- location with 3 golf courses at one place
Review 38:Nothing. A car is recommended if you want to explore the area
Review 39:La Cala resort is a lovely hotel whether you play golf or not. Our room was spacious with a huge bed. We had a very large terrace with amazing views. The staff are friendly and helpful and the breakfast is amazing! We had a very relaxing week and we will definitely return.
Review 40:It wasn't as exclusive and as quiet as advertised, as I could hear the chatter and morning entertainment activities from the pool area coming through my front door, so it made it difficult to chill out until the pool had closed at 19:00.
Review 41:The staff were brilliant! The room was great, with a huge balcony overlooking the mountains, very clean and huge double bed with great Aircon and Wifi throughout the whole complex. There were lots of places to escape to for quiet time when the pool area was roudy.
Review 42:Tried to play golf one day only to be told they had no golf balls?! Proceeded to try to play squash only to learn there was only 1 racket!! Booked a meal in town through the reception only to find out on arrival that the restaurant had never received a booking! Reliability a problem for us!!
Review 43:Views are amazing! Loved the poolside bar too!
Review 44:Only coffee at breakfast requires improvement - its not very tasty filter coffee.
Review 45:Everything was at the highest level you could expect from 4+ * hotel or even some 5*. Just perfect for those who either would like to play golf just relax calmly seeing beautiful landscapes that surround the resort. Felt like at home. Everything is clean and fresh. SPA is very nice.
Review 46:Late checkin due to abnormally busy period - staff were apologetic and allowed us late check out which was great.
Review 47:Everything!!! Great facilities, staff, rooms & spa. Very peaceful and no flies!!!
Review 48:Everything.. swim up bar! Wonderful attentive staff.. Good size rooms.. lovely bed.. Scrummy breakfast, wide selection to choose from.. Stunning views...
Review 49:We had booked 4 rooms for our group - we arrived at 3pm to check in. Our rooms were not ready until 5pm. There were no towels at the pool side and the member of staff was not willing to get any from the hotel for us. Dinner service in the evening was very good.. thankfully as Breakfast in the morning was a complete shambles. It took 45 minutes to get a table - which we cleared ourselves. There was no cutlery and no plates - the staff were all very stressed and there was a tense atmosphere. Our lunch order (for 7 people) was taken and had to be re taken by a member of staff that was more experienced - the first two plates of lunch came in 25 minutes - the other 5 lunches took 40 minutes to arrive. We stayed in this hotel a year ago - service was similar then - its a real shame they can't get it right as the hotel and facilities are so good
Review 50:This hotel is well located both in terms of places to visit and also the airport. Its facilities are great with golf, spa and outdoor pool as well as some nice walking options
Review 51:I loved all of it, a very pleasant experience.
Review 52:What a wonderful hotel. The bed was super-comfortable, the staff friendly - especially those serving/dealing with breakfast - and the food was very good quality. I'm definitely returning.
Review 53:The Resort is a long way from civilisation so if you want to leave the resort you'll need a car or be prepared for an expensive cab ride.
Review 54:I've got nothing bad to say about La Cala Resort...provided you don't want to leave the Resort! Facilities are excellent, hotel is clean, staff are helpful and polite. I don't play golf but if you do the courses looked to be in immaculate condition and challenging.
Review 55:Excellent breakfast, comfortable rooms, great views, fantastic facilities for both families and couples, not too big a hotel, great golf courses, pool didn't feel overcrowded even though hotel was fully booked.
Review 56:The location of the hotel was amazing. On the golf course with views all around. The staff were friendly & approachable. Breakfast was in a nice location and was of a good variety. Only stayed. 1 night here but it was a restful one. Would stay again.
Review 57:The spacious, air-conditioned room with its extra wide double bed andlovely view from the balcony. Very good and varied breakfast at thepool. We also had a delicious dinner in the hotel restaurant, which wasbetter than the one at the club house. The golf facilities areexcellent. Me and my son played the Europa course with rented clubs, andtotally enjoyed it.

Review 99:Everything
Review 100:The food at the Bodega bar leaves something to be desired . The fitness center could use updating and should be available around the clock not only during golfing hours. Some maintenance is needed in some of the rooms where the tile is chipping and the bath robes provided for the spa seemed overused .The place seemed to lack amenities catering to young children such as a playground.
Review 101:gorgeous views of surrounding mountains and a very nice breakfast. A great place to relax with three nice golf courses and an amazing spa including a thermal circuit Jacuzzi , an indoor pool, a sauna and steam room as well as an igloo and a sunroom all included in the package . A beauty salon is also available on site . The town with its beach is only a short drive away. The New Year's Eve gala 5-course dinner was sublime and well worth the price which also included drinks and music.The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Older children were made to feel comfortable among a mostly adult clientele and were welcome on the golf course .
Review 102:There is nothing at all to dislike about this fabulous hotel !
