Globales Cala Blanca

It’s a nice little hotel in a quiet residential area. There is no allocated parking, so if you hire a car it can be a little difficult at times to park. The check in was swift, however we were not allowed to pay the deposit for the safe when we checked in, we had to return later to do that, which seemed long winded to me. The food was average at best with not a great selection. At one meal I found a coarse, black hair in my risotto which I found incredibly grim. We ate out for a lot of our evening meals. The pool area was clean and well kept. Sun bed wars do happen. It was very hot while we were there so a lot of us adults would sit with our legs in the children’s pool. The lifeguard told my husband off for having a beer while doing this. There was another large group there, who were celebrating a big birthday, who got drunk daily and were very loud, and would jump and bomb into the main pool but that was absolutely fine. Our room was small. We had problems with the lighting in the room for the whole of our stay. The bed side tables are supposed to light up, we only found that out because my husband turned over in bed and his started flashing then the main lights went out. They were supposed to fix it, but they never did. Our kettle blew too, so maybe it was something wrong with the room. Our floors weren’t particularly clean either. There was a lot of fluff and dust around the edges. We like to go to the beach, so they did get sandy but they never appeared to be swept properly. One day the cleaner didn’t leave us any hand towels so we asked her for some, the way she reacted anyone would have thought we were asking her to give us her life’s savings. We love Menorca, we go almost every year but we won’t return to this hotel, nor would we recommend it. There are a lot better ones out there for a similar price.

We went to this hotel in May 2025 and have just returned from another great 11 night holiday. This one did not disappoint either. I could just copy and paste what I wrote in May because once again it was excellent relaxing holiday.  Activites. I love having a go at the activities as it's made so inclusive and enjoyable by Mayte and Judith.  The activities included archery, air rifle, air hand gun, Shjoelen, shuffle board, darts, boules, ping pong, water aerobics and fun games like 'Bang Bang" and lots of others. You make lots of friends through joining in and everyone is made so welcome. Entertainment ... Again it was a high standard with singers, magician / escapologist, jugglers / contortionist. The singers got the place 'rocking' and that's tough when I'd say most of the audience were probably 55+ in age! Whoever booked the acts did a great job. The Mowtown evening was the best music and the Etheopian Circus were amazing. The only 'dud' was the Reggae duo.  Staff ... All the staff were friendly, helpful and did a fantastic job. This covered everything from those who did the bedrooms, cleaning, cooking, clearing up, serving in the bar, reception etc. I must highlight how well Astrid on reception dealt with a person who was smoking on the decking where smoking is prohibited. She did it in a very professional manner and it didn't happen again. Gemma at the bar was also great as she always had a smile and all I'll say to her is "save the legs".  Cleanliness.. It was spotless. All public areas were kept so clean and tidy. There was no litter and tables were cleared very quickly. The restaurant was a great place to eat. The air temperature and humidity was perfect. All the staff were super quick and friendly.  Food and drink .. The food was a 'help yourself' buffet and the range on offer was very good. There was plenty of choice with chicken and pork being the most common meat though. I didn't hear anyone complaining about being hungry as there was plenty of choice.   We were AI and the spirits / liquors were not premium brands but they were available to buy. Also the bar staff were very friendly, helpful and worked very very very hard. They were all great. Hard external areas ... they were kept clean and tidy all day and evening. There is a large decking area next to the bar / entertainment room which has plenty of chairs / tables and soft seating. It also benefits from a canopy that can provide shade for 50% of it.  The pool area is down a few steps and would benefit from a handrail being fitted though.  I saw the pool water being tested frequently. There is also a chairlift to help people in and out of the water.  Soft external areas .... There are large grassed areas for people to use if they wanted to be away from the pool / decking area. The bushes and hedges are shaped and are clearly looked after. The front of the hotel has a grassed area with some well maintained plants. That area is also another lovely quiet place to sit and has some very comfy chairs.  Gym ... I'm not a user of gyms but went to look at it. It looked well equipped to me eg weights, walking / cycling machines etc. Smoking ... I am not a smoker and hate secondary smoke. This hotel has a designated smoking area outside which is well away from tables, chairs and sunbeds etc. They have provided chairs and tables in the space. Credit and thank you to everyone who went there.  I just hope the hotel continues to enforce it again when we intend to return in early May again.   Music ...The only music that was played outside was on a morning by the Animation team and that was via a portable player / speaker. It was at a level where you didn't necessarily hear it at the the other side of the pool. Again, most people appreciated this. Also 'thanks' to those people who listened to their music via headphones etc ie no one had to complain about the selfish people who play it out loud via their own device  Location .. The hotel is located in a quiet residential area and there are not many shops / bars etc near by. A few people said they expected more but we knew exactly what were hoping for and got it in bundles. We found a gem of a place where we could relax and have a great time. Other guests can make a holiday one to remember and once again we met lovely people. It was great to see Colin, Shiela and Frank / Paco again from our previous visit. We also met more guests who added to our holiday experience . They included ....Rod & Theresa, Dave from Wigan who was fantastic on the Karaoke, Adam & his family, all the Home Bargain ladies from the North East, Chelsea & her 'dogs', Pam & Chris plus many many more.  Finally ... All being well. If Mayte and Judith are there, we are looking to book again to return on 2 May for 11 nights and it would be great see old and recent guests again.  Thank you to everyone at this hotel Mel

We had a lovely weeks visit to this hotel on All Inclusive, and it was our first time in Menorca. We were not disappointed! We found the location brilliant and close to the beach,where you could watch fantastic sunsets! some lovely varied restaurants as well. The food in the hotel was great and it changed every night to a different theme. The staff were brilliant and polite and super friendly as well. The animation team were great with some good quality evening entertainment and fun day time activities cocktail games etc...i would encourage you to join in with these. Plenty of sun loungers around the pool and grass areas. Room was cleaned every day if required and the hotel was in a very clean condition. It's a quiet location so no loud bars clubs etc . Perfect for a quiet escape. I would recommend day trips to Ciutedella market and cala n bocsh, where there are also nice eateries and beach.

We been here 3 times love this hotel its clean food lovely drink fine the staff are brilliant friendly the entertainment is great it very peaceful there nothing to not like

We had a fantastic 5 nights here with great weather. The hotel was immaculate and the food was good. The hotel staff from reception to the waiting staff to the cleaners were so kind. Also a big thank you to Inma at reception Mayte and Judith who worked so hard entertaining us and Juliam who worked behind the food counters. Cala Blanca is a beautiful resort quiet and some lovely restaurants overlooking the beach. I would recommend.
