Palladium Hotel Cala Llonga

Much potential but averagely executed. Having just returned from a holiday to Palladium’s Cala Llonga resort, I feel as if there are some real great benefits to the hotel so I’ll start with those positives. Firstly, the location of the hotel is great, overlooking the picturesque Cala Llonga bay, the hotel is definitely one of the better ones within immediate area. The staff are friendly, enthusiastic and eager to help and please which helps lay the foundation for a welcoming experience. The hotel itself is clean, well maintained and looked after, with a solid choice of food of fairly decent quality; There are two additional restaurants outside of the inclusive package which are great and help boost the quality. Now, onto the more negative aspects; After a couple days staying at the resort I started to really notice just how tired the hotel looked, it’s got some real solid potential but it’s drab in its appearance; with that, it’s a very decent 3 Star...but in no way is it the 4 Star it’s awarded. For me there are two main areas that I’ll point out; firstly the main restaurant in particular despite it’s nice views is drab and in desperate need of renovation, bordering on a bit depressing, secondly, the area outside the pool where there are areas to sit looks like something out of a Benidorm episode. Smoking is restricted outside the immediate sheltered area of the bar/pool, but strangely not so right next to it in the open space, this means you have every smoker in the resort lighting up and smoking your way out of the bar before you have time to relax. The entertainment is poorly executed with a minimal and repetitive selection that clearly caters for the older generation, that’s the thing with this hotel though, it’s not designed for a younger crowd and you may find yourself twiddling your thumbs out of boredom, something I personally don’t experience often. The immediate grounds in front of the hotel where the majority of the sun exposed beds are located is littered with old cigarette butts, contradicting what I said earlier about cleanliness, it’s clearly not looked after in this area. In summary, the hotel did what it was designed to do, I did enjoy my stay (sort of) but don’t go expecting anything particularly special here or you’ll be left feeling disappointed, otherwise take your nan, she’ll love it! Finally, a shout out to Jennifer Rose from TUI, for being brilliantly patronising and as helpful as a chocolate teapot, our mistake for going with first-choice (TUI)
