The Hotel Sa Marina is a real treat.
When we arrived we were greeted by a spacious reception and a very
efficient check in service and were soon dispatched to our room. The
room has a real wow factor and can only be described as immaculate
in every detail.
The room / apartment was spacious with twin sinks in the bathroom
and a telephone at the toilet, which was a little extravagant for
us! The apartment has a separate bedroom which is handy if one of
you want to get an extra hour in bed during the afternoon. We were
in the main complex on the top floor overlooking the pool which was
ideal.
Because we went during October the indoor pool was open for the
guests to use, however the weather was good enough for us to only
use the outdoor facilities. We made some use of the gym facilities
and this has encouraged us to buy our own exercise bicycle when we
returned home!
The food on offer is splendid with something for everyone, it was a
buffet service with freshly prepared salads, local dishes and a
carvery all available for you to try. The price of the wine was also
reasonable with a average bottle of Rioja costing around 11 euros.
In the evening the entertainment was of a mixed quality with the
usual parrot shows, flamenco, quizzes and discos all on offer. Some
of the entertainment in the evening was provided by the Animation
team who appeared to all be from Holland!
The Sa Marina is only a few minutes walk from the hustle and bustle
of Cala D'or but is ideally placed for a quite holiday. The complex
consists of the main building and the annexe which is only 1 minutes
walk away.
We would go back to the Sa Marina without any hesitation, and would
also go with Thomas Cook, as they offered a first class service, and
a special mention to the Thomas Cook rep, Ben who was wonderful and
offered a first class service to all questions fielded to him. In
2005 it appears that Thomas Cook were the only travel company from
the UK who sold packages at the Sa Marina. The Sa Marina is
officially 4 stars and is a part of the Inturotels Hotels group. |
