две августовские недели, в отеле Barcelo Cala Vinas two weeks in August, at the Barcelo Cala Vinas hotel

Spent a family vacation on the island. Mallorca, two weeks in August, at the Barcelo Cala Vinas hotel, bought in Natalie Tour. My wife and I and our daughters (16.12 and 9 years old) took part in the trip. Having fifteen years of experience in the Mediterranean, I can say that Cala Vinas is a traditional hotel in terms of European service. Strong European four. But this hotel also has features due to its location, terrain and architectural design. It was built not on a long, flat coast, which is rather boring for the eyes of vacationers, but in a picturesque bay, a little over three kilometers from the city of Magaluf. It is very cozy and creates an original microclimate. In addition, competitive hotels do not push, do not create a coastal anthill, there are only a couple of hotels nearby. A very interesting solution to the entrance to the hotel, from the highway it is on the fourth floor, on the other hand, the descent to the sea is at the level of the first or, one might say, the basement floor. Not even a descent, but a pool area with sun loungers, beautiful trees, then ladders into the water, to the depths. A smooth entrance to the sandy municipal beach, common to three hotels. There are two pools, for adults and for kids. The hotel itself is bright and spacious. Built with grandeur. We got a Junior Suite, more than thirty meters, with a sea view and a large balcony, after dinner the children liked to spend time on it before going to bed. The cleaning was thorough, there was no sand on the floor, linen and towels were changed carefully. The food is plentiful and varied, there were no queues like in Turkey for watermelon, there was always enough for everyone and fruits, and meat, and fish, and vegetables. Excellent grilled lamb, has become my favorite dish. I'm going to repeat in the country, at least try. In terms of entertainment for children, except for the beach and the sea, everything is very sensibly arranged. The two youngest started attending the kids club from day one. There are a lot of children in the hotel, but only clients of our operator could go to this club, which is probably why there was no crush in it, and the animators did an excellent job with the whole program. Every day there are new competitions and classes, the daughters not only did not get bored, but parted with the club almost in tears, when everyone was in the club, and it was time for us to go to the airport. The eldest, after spending the day on the beach, went to a disco in Magaluf in the evening. It's fifteen minutes on foot. At the hotel I met two peers and they spent time with their company. There are several shops near the hotel, they bought beach towels and every day water, juices and beer, good savings. I'm not a big fan of bus tours, but my wife and eldest went to the survey on the island and to the Formentor lighthouse, I liked it. According to the tour operator, I can say that there were no overlays. Meeting at the airport, delivery to the hotel, at check-in at the reception they explained where and what to fill out and sign. They explained where the shops are, the bus stop, the taxi situation.
The hotel is very suitable for families with children, by the way, there were mothers with very young ones, for adult couples, for singles, and youth companies, of course, need to settle in Magaluf itself.
