Ona Cala de Mar

Overall Rating: 7.5/10 — A Fantastic Family Base in Mallorca We thoroughly loved our holiday here! The hotel served as a brilliant, stress-free base for our family, offering exceptional convenience and plenty of fun touches for the kids. What We Loved: Unbeatable Location: The walking distance to everything was a massive highlight for us. You can easily walk down to the beach, Cala Egos, and the local marina. It's also just a 20-minute walk into main Cala d'Or town, or you can hop on the "Ting Ting" road train. Plus, there is a fun park right across the street! Spacious Accommodations: Our one-bedroom apartment was wonderfully spacious, with a separate kitchen, bedroom, lounge, and bathroom, as well as a large double balcony complete with a table, chairs, and drying line. Great Extras for Families: The giant chess set and ping pong table were brilliant additions that kept everyone entertained. A special highlight for the kids was feeding the friendly local resort cats. Easy Island Exploration: Having free parking made hiring a car and exploring the island's best beaches seamless. Attentive Service & Value: Overall pricing felt fair, with reasonable €5 beers at the pool bar. When we noticed our basic cooker was missing a baking tray, staff sorted it out right away. Room for Improvement: Dated Spaces: The decor and kitchen could do with modernising (though all necessary appliances were provided, minus a dishwasher). The mini-golf is also quite dated and could be better used as a pool extension, lounge space, or jacuzzi. Pool & Health Note: The pool is a great size and depth, though the water had an odd taste. My son developed an ear infection and a stye (along with another child staying there), which felt like it might have been pool-related. Gym Potential: The basement gym has a solid multi-gym machine, but needs ~50kg more weight on the bench and a proper, unbroken set of dumbbells. Opening it before 10 AM would also let parents get a workout in while the family sleeps in. Untapped Potential: The interior bar area is a bit of a "nothing space" right now, but it would be amazing transformed into a morning coffee and bakery hub with music and cozy seating. Beach Gear: Charging to borrow umbrellas and beach toys feels a bit cheeky given most are left behind by past guests—a refundable deposit system would work much better. (Also note pool cocktails run a bit high at €10). Final Verdict: Despite a few areas that could use an upgrade, we had an absolute blast. The location, space, and family-friendly extras made it a wonderful choice, and we would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxed, well-located Mallorca getaway.

Stay in a 2 bed villa, Lady in reception was very helpful , friendly and polite a credit to the hotel. We stayed in the end villa which had no blinds in the bathroom, so you could be seen from the main road . The kitchen had an ant invasion, so unfortunately we couldn’t use the kitchen to prepare food as they were over run with ants . The apartment are looking tired and could do with a refurbishing. Couldn’t use the draws in bedroom as the bottom were falling out and the shower didn’t drain so the bathroom floor would get flooded. Pool area lovely and clean with plenty of sun beds

This place is wonderful. Our apartment was perfect, on the first floor in front of the pool, spacious bathroom, bedroom, and livable kitchen. Everything was perfectly clean and renovated. There is also a huge sunny terrace all day. The pool is comfortable, there is a well-equipped gym, and the girls at the reception (Carmen and Sheila) are always very nice and available. Definitely worth returning!
