Cala Serena accommodation from NZ$251

The entire hotel was very clean, including the spa/sauna, restaurant and outdoor area. Shower pressure & temperature no problems, comfy bed, and a nice balcony. I selected half board option and I'm glad I did! Both breakfast and dinner buffet were plentiful and fresh, different types of food to chose from, and every day there was something different for the main for dinner. I was so full after breakfast so I didn't really need to have lunch during my stay. There were also some nice cafes and restaurants close to the hotel, and the beach was just a stone's throw away. The beach parasol, sunbed and security box were so affordable to rent for the whole day (about £16 pp), unlike other Mediterranean beach resort. Reception, restaurant waiting staff, housekeeping staff were all friendly and kind. I'd definitely come back to this hotel again for a relaxing solo holiday :) (*One request I have for the hotel would be to have a kettle in a room, or rent a kettle at the front desk!)

The hotel was wonderful from meeting the first stall to your room to the facilities and the food. The view from our room over the cove was fantastic.

We stayed as a family of four with two boys age 5 & 7. The hotel was so clean and the rooms were comfortable with everything we needed. The pool area was great. We did have to join the sun bed race each morning to secure sunbeds. Annoying that the hotel allows this especially when families are reserving lounges for their young kids who don’t even use them. Our kids loved the pool and the bouncy pillow was a huge hit although can get really busy in the afternoon. We found the mini disco was really only catered for very young children. Would be great to play a couple more chart songs for some of the slightly older kids. They loved the APT theme song during the day and at the end of the disco and learnt the dance routine. The surrounding area is great with lots of shops and restaurants and the nearby beach was so beautiful with calm waters perfect for young kids. The food was great with an amazing choice of salads and plenty of grilled options if you want healthy choices. More veg options for kids would be great as felt that was a bit limited. The frozen Pina colada cocktail was a big hit for my husband and I. It was also disappointing that the main bar did not open earlier in the evening to allow for pre-dinner drinks. Otherwise we had a really great holiday and would definitely consider the hotel and area again.
