Only our third time doing all inclusive and we were really happy at this hotel. The service was friendly and efficient, the bedrooms were spotless clean and comfortable, bathrooms roomy and towels were white and soft (not the usual grey and rough) We wern't there at the height of the summer so we had no problems getting a lounger beside the pool (plastic lounger with no cushions-not good for older bones, but what do you want from a 3*?) Sun umbrellas were a bit in short supply though. Altogether the hotel itself was spot on, probably better than we expected. 10 minutes stroll (too hot to power walk!) to the left or to the right gives you the choice of two different beaches, both good. Es Cana itself is a fairly quiet resort and 1 week was enough for us. St.Eulalia is close by and for a 2 week holiday it would be our choice.
So, a good holiday. Only one serious complaint! Coral Playa hotel food! Edible, filling, not a lot of variety,boring after one week i think, and LUKEWARM!. They do not seem to have got the hang of keeping things hot.

all staff were polite,but did not suffer fools, a please and thankyou went a long way.
Yes, the pool was small and the shallow end was smaller but this meant that everytime my 7 year old went in she made a new friend or meet an old one, it never seemed to be crowded in there.
food was excellent with pleanty of choice for all tastes, must try the pork ribs and the plates of prawns.
beach was so close you could nip back for drink refills.
entertainment was predictable,but hey, your still sitting there at 11.00 cheering with the rest of them.
no trouble with drink measures or number of drinks, again a please, thankyou and smile goes along way.
Huge shops on the way to town, great bargins
Visit Hippy market for experiance but remember you can get the same things for cheaper in the shops locally
all in all a great time, little one was going 8 am till late (12 pm) on the beach, in the pool, rock pooling, collecting shells, shopping, playing with new friends, watching shows etc etc

this hotel was very nice and it is spotless, all the staff apart from 1 chef were lovely, the food was ok but you would not want to be there for 2 weeks as it was much the same thing every night and nothing was ever hot. we were all inclusive but if you asked for anything after 3pm you would only get chips and a mouthful of bad language in spanish. very comfortable rooms small pool would not like to be there in high season you would not be able to swim if alot of people where there.

Pleasant hotel. Easy to get a lounger. Life guards very vigilant. Pool a bit small and hence no lilos or rings allowed (plus point for those who hate them – but not as much fun for us). Good breakfast – evening buffet ok.
