Stayed here in a junior suite with my husband and 2 children aged 3 and 1. The suite was very roomy with a well equippped kitchen area and large dining table. The sofa bed in the living area was made up each day. The only problem was that on day one the room still hadn't been serviced by 2pm ( when we finally went off to the beach) so the living area was a bedroom for most of the day. We raised this with housekeeping and thereafter the room was serviced whilst we were at breakfast.
Our room looked over the children's play area at the back of the hotel and therefore never got any sun. Our children aren't old enough to play alone whilst we watch over them from the balcony drinks in hand but if they were the room may have been okay. If I returned I would definately ask for a pool view.
The breakfasts were good but not the best I've had ( the 4star melias in Palma and Sitges had more variety but then they are bigger).

What really makes the hotel though are the staff. They were extremely friendly to adults and children alike. They were always happy to recommend a good beach or restaurant and their suggestions were spot on. Our children were spoken to, fussed over and given gifts.
The hotel was fully booked but never crowded.
The pool is lovely with a separate childrens area fenced off in addition to the ( shaded )children's pool at the back of the hotel.

The only thing that would put us off coming back is the resort itself which has a lot of English bars and very little that is Spanish.
However, I could quite happily visit the hotel and spend most of my time never venturing beyond the gardens save to drive to the recommended beaches.

A friend and I stayed here for a week at the beginning of September. We have stayed in many top class hotels around the world and the Melia Cala D'Or is one we would be happy to recommend. It manages to be smart but relaxed at the same time - breakfasts are served in a lovely bright restaurant overlooking the gardens and the poolside bar provided lovely salads for lunch. There's not much to do in the resort itself but that was fine for us as we just needed a relaxing week with a few good books. When the loungers around the pool were all occupied we just sat on our large balcony which was equally comfortable. We particularly liked the fact that the hotel is set in nice gardens and the rooms are in blocks of just 10 or 12 so it doesn't feel crowded.

Everything about the hotel is superb with the following exceptions. Firstly I have never stayed at a hotel with so many uncontrolled young children. This is particularly noticeable at breakfast time when they are charging round the dining room. Secondly dinner at the hotel, although in lovely surroundings, is boring. The food is totally lacking in imagination and poor quality.

Just returned from our second stay at the Melia, after being so pleased with our previous stay last year. Our room this year was a ground floor suite, just off the pool side. Fantastic room, can't fault a thing. The only comment I would make about this wonderful hotel, is the lack of a decent bar area. There is a small lounge with a tiny bar tucked into one corner, but it's never really manned, and the lounge itself has zero atmosphere. The addition of some mood lighting and back ground music would transform it (in my humble opinion). We just thought it would have been nice to come back to the hotel after going out for a meal, and have a drink in an intimate bar setting, whilst interacting with other guests. That said, this minor point would not deter us from going back next year to the Melia for a third visit, and anyway, there are plenty of bars within a short stroll of the hotel. We simply adore the resort of Cala D'or, and a stay at the Melia completes the package.
