  ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We absolutely loved our stay!

  We’ve just come back from an amazing two-week stay, and honestly, we would go back in a heartbeat! We had such a fantastic holiday and felt the hotel was worth every penny. There were a few little things that could be improved, but nothing came close to spoiling what was a brilliant two weeks. 🛏️ Our room Our room was lovely, clean and comfortable, with a beautiful balcony which we really enjoyed. It was cleaned every day and always left looking fresh. The tea and coffee facilities were a lovely touch, and having a mini fridge was really useful too. 🏊‍♀️ The pools I absolutely loved how the hotel had thought about the different types of guests when designing the pool areas. There was a children’s pool which was also suitable for adults and older children, a livelier “rowdy” pool, which we didn’t use ourselves, and then a third pool which was much quieter but still suitable for both adults and children. It meant you could choose the atmosphere you wanted rather than having one pool trying to cater for everyone. For us, having the quieter option was a real bonus. 🍽️ Food We were really impressed with the variety of food. The themed nights were particularly nice because they gave us the chance to try lots of different foods that we probably wouldn’t normally choose. We didn’t arrive at the hotel until around 10pm on our first night, but the hotel had kindly kept food available for us in case we wanted something to eat after our journey. We really appreciated that, especially arriving so late. If I could change one thing, I would probably reduce the amount of food on the themed nights and make the theme itself a little more of a focus. There was almost too much choice! The cocktail offered when entering the restaurant was such a lovely little touch and made dinner feel like more of an occasion. We did have a couple of evenings where there was a queue to get into the restaurant, but the staff were incredibly efficient and got through the queues very quickly. On those evenings, drinks were a little slower. On one occasion, it actually took until dessert for us to order a drink! However, this happened just once during our entire two-week stay, so definitely not something we experienced regularly. The only other thing that would have been nice would have been a snack bar available through the day with smaller snacks like sandwich’s and not just 3-5pm 🍹 Drinks The pool bar opening at 11:30 felt a little late, especially with the beautiful weather being so warm 😂 Once it opened, though, it was easy to use and there was always a good selection available. I wasn’t particularly keen on the cocktails as I found them quite watered down, but that’s more a personal preference than a criticism. We had no issues getting the other drinks we wanted throughout our stay. ❤️ The staff The staff really helped make this holiday special. The entertainment team were phenomenal. They were incredibly friendly, enthusiastic and genuinely made an effort to include everyone. They created such a fun atmosphere and you could tell they really cared about making sure people were enjoying themselves. All of the staff we came across were friendly and helpful, but a special mention has to go to Dunio, one of the waiters. He was always so lovely, friendly and welcoming, no matter what time of day we saw him. Nothing ever seemed too much trouble. The hotel also went above and beyond for my birthday while we were there. A friend had arranged a birthday cake for me and made the hotel aware that it was my birthday. The hotel then went the extra mile and arranged a lovely little gesture of their own, with a small birthday cake and a birthday note left in my room. It was such a thoughtful surprise and really made my birthday feel special. ❤️ It’s those little personal touches that you remember after a holiday, and there were so many lovely ones during our stay. 🎤 Entertainment The music quiz was brilliant fun! We absolutely loved it and would have happily done more of these during our stay. The bingo was another nice addition. The evening entertainment acts weren’t really to our taste, so after the first few days we didn’t tend to stay for them. But that’s completely down to personal preference and certainly didn’t have any negative impact on our holiday. 📍 Location The location was fantastic. There was a small supermarket just a five-minute walk away, with really friendly staff, and the beach was also only a short walk from the hotel. The Pirate Adventure was a particular highlight and is highly recommended if you’re looking for something fun to do! There was also a meeting point directly opposite the hotel for excursions further afield, and trips could also be arranged through the hotel, including the Caves of Drach. 🌴 Overall Overall, we genuinely had an amazing two weeks. We loved the hotel, loved the atmosphere and had such a fantastic time. Were there little things that could be improved? Of course. But every holiday has those, and none of them came close to taking away from our experience. We would absolutely return to this hotel and would have happily stayed for another two weeks. From the fantastic entertainment team and friendly staff to the variety of food, choice of pools, thoughtful touches and great location, there was so much to enjoy. We left with some really lovely memories and, most importantly, that horrible feeling of wishing we didn’t have to go home! 😂☀️ Would we return? Absolutely. Would we recommend it? 100%. Thank you to everyone at the hotel for helping make our two weeks so enjoyable, and for making my birthday that little bit more special. ❤️

  Great hotel for a quick stay

  Writing this review while waiting for transfer to airport. This hotel is great as a base to visit both Magaluf and Palma nova. It’s 100 metres from the beach, a 5 minute walk to the seafront and strip and the area is quiet. The food here is great, and themed nights each night provide a good variety. There is a supermarket next to the hotel with extras you may need. The rooms are ok, large screen tv and toiletries provided if you need them. A safe you can use and wardrobes and cupboards with ample space. A great stop for a few nights away.

  Unsatisfactory.

  Surly staff for whom customers are clearly an absolute inconvenience. Huge queues for dinner with a dining room that is too small, utterly chaotic, very warm and simply not fit for purpose. Food is tepid only due to the temperature of the room, freshly replenished buffet dishes were stone cold, the room warms them up. Queues for the bar all evening because 2 of the 3 staff prefer talking to each other than doing their job and have zero sense of urgency. No air conditioning in public areas. Mixed cleanliness. Room was average with a surprisingly comfortable bed. Not 4 star or anywhere approaching it.

  You get what you pay for. Poor quality and service.

  Travelled as a family of 4. Not our usual all inclusive experience. No icecreams for the kids at all, not even payable. They have a menu but none in stock. Sadly We were Made to feel like an inconvenience by all bar and restaurant staff. You get the bare minimum for your money. People who were half board and paid for lunch got treated much better. Which is wrong as we paid more! They don’t like you asking for drinks unless you are seated at a table. Both the main pool and the one on level 1 with the al fresco bar were filthy! We watched mosquitoes swarming the water. Kicked out of the pools before 6pm. Not allowed to sit on water edge with a drink (in plastic cup) we were served raw chicken in the snack bar. The queue to dinner was so long and took 15 minutes at least. This hotel in need of some serious TLC, a major renovation and repairs. The pools were never cleaned the whole stay. Lots of algae around pool Edge. We felt itchy the whole time. The shower flooded the bathroom floor. No nice garden/flowers on the grounds. No air conditioning in hallways or lifts we sweated like crazy everywhere here. Even though we paid for all Inclusive we paid for meals Out as the food was repetitive with very little for children, no nuggets just chips pasta and horrible topped pizza. The queue to get in the restaurant were ridiculous. Would never recommend this hotel. Pay a bit more and go for a better option.

  Wonderful family holiday

  A wonderful family holiday – brilliant staff and entertainment team We had a really lovely stay at the Alua Calvia and would definitely recommend it. We are a family of 5, eldest son 20, daughter 16 and youngest son 11. A special mention has to go to the entertainment team — Rudy, Alexia, Alessandra, Leah, Ronan and several others (we didn’t catch their names). They were absolutely brilliant. They were so welcoming, friendly and inclusive, while still being very professional. What really stood out was that they genuinely seemed to care about the guests and wanted everyone to enjoy their holiday. They made such a difference to our stay. I particularly enjoyed the Pilates sessions and aqua aerobics. Our room was beautiful and all of the staff we encountered were very pleasant and helpful. Our maid was particularly amazing and the room was always cleaned to a high standard- thank you. We also really enjoyed the pool areas. We opted for the ‘My Favourite Club’ which was lovely and added some extra benefits, including a quieter pool but even without this I think the main pool areas and other facilities would still be a real highlight. The only area where we felt there was room for improvement was the evening buffet. We found the restaurant quite cafeteria-like and there wasn’t much of a view, which was a shame. There was also such a huge amount of food and choice that it sometimes felt overwhelming. Perhaps having slightly less food but making the themed nights a little more distinct, with different dishes each evening, would make the experience feel more special and encourage people to try something different each night. Aside from that, we really enjoyed our stay. The location is excellent, particularly if you want to be close to Magaluf but away from the busiest part. Being at the top of Magaluf meant it was relatively quiet, while the bus services were excellent for getting to places such as Palmanova, Santa Ponça and Camp de Mar. It’s also a reasonably easy transfer from the airport. Overall, we had a wonderful holiday and would happily recommend the Alua Calvia. The fantastic entertainment team and friendly staff really made our stay memorable- thank you. I am sure we will return
