I apologise for the long delay in writing this review! We stayed at Globales Cala Vinas apartments in September 2022. Unfortunately, due to a number of health issues I never got around to writing this review until now! I booked this accommodation after my partner and I fell in love with the location. Cala Vinas is truly beautiful! We also liked the images we saw of the apartments and were not disappointed. We arrived late at night and needed to collect the keys from the sister hotel next door. Not a problem as the reception at the hotel is open 24/7. We also paid extra for a room safe and the island tourist tax which is a government taxation and nothing to do with the hotel. It was around 30 euros if my memory serves me. Transfer to the hotel from the airport takes around one hour. We used Suntransfers.com which we booked online before leaving the UK. If you book a room with a sea view you will not be disappointed! The view across the bay is amazing. Our balcony was huge with views on all sides. The apartment we had had a bedroom, toilet/bathroom and a lounge/kitchen. It came fully equipped with everything you need to prepare and cook food. The furniture was a little dated but comfortable. The bedroom was very dark having no windows so we actually slept on the bed sofa in the lounge. But that was our choice! The room was cleaned daily and fresh towels supplied. We had no problems with the housekeeping staff who were very professional. Noise from other guests was minimal and only caused a problem once in seven days. But I have never stayed anywhere that didn't have these issues. Cala Vinas is itself very small with just a couple of shops offering the basic essentials. However, it is very picturesque with a lovely bay suitable for swimming and water sports in general. Very safe for children! You can also rent sun loungers on the beach. Magaluf is the nearest town and is a brisk ten minute walk to the centre. Or, you can get a taxi [advised if you are bringing back lots of shopping] and a regular bus stop to Magaluf can be found just outside the apartments. All in all Cala Vinas is the perfect choice for holidaymakers both young and old. Unless, you want to party all night long! In which case Magaluf town is your better choice. For shopping I recommend Aldi or Eroski for value. If you use the smaller local shops the prices can be quite high. Globales Cala Vinas Apartments is a great choice if you prefer the flexibility of a self catering holiday. We had a wonderful time and will be returning again this year. Regarding the pool - it is quite small and not really appropriate for young children. However, the view across the bay towards Magaluf is amazing. We found the pool area very pleasant and a nice spot to sunbathe during the day. No bar service sadly but you can't have everything - can you!
