Viva Cala Mesquida Resort & Spa

I was worried about this being a kids hotel and as a couple thought it may have been a nightmare but we were pleasantly surprised. The hotel was just perfect. The room was clean and spacious and our balcony was just lovely and so quiet and relaxing. Towels were changed daily and staff were all polite. We went self catering and ate at the Italian the first night and had pasta and was lovely no complaints. Another night we ate at Mirablau and it was not great and wouldn’t recommend, what I would say is have a beach lunch there as the salad was lovely. The amount of pools was just amazing and didn’t feel overcrowded at all even though it was busy. We used the gym everyday and was very impressed and basically had it to ourselves and equipment was good and not dated. The shop across the road spar had lovely fresh bread every morning and lots of gorgeous fruit! The beach is gorgeous and a minute away from the hotel. I have never wanted to return to the same place but We will definitely return here. I really do not get how anyone can moan or slate this place it’s lovely and staff all so polite. Thanks for a lovely holiday.

Firstly I have to say my husband and I only stayed at this hotel as a part of a wedding party. We had booked our transfers through vivas website and only found out when we were left abandoned at the airport that they used a third party (Thomas Cook) no message no text and when I called the hotel we was told to get a taxi!! Once we got to the hotel the manager did reimburse our journey (not our departure transfer) that was also booked through there website. Our room was nice although the sun loungers were unusable and rotten, the air conditioning did not work in the bedroom which meant a very uncomfortable sleep. The hot and cold taps were plumbed in the wrong way round on one sink which ended up burning my hands. The corridors were dark and cold and the paper and boarders are falling off the walls. The buffet breakfast was very unpleasant the food quality and choice was poor I am grateful I hadn’t had to feed my children this food. The coffee from the machines was vile so much so we paid the next day for a la carte breakfast in the Italian restaurant. For the privilege of paying €30 euros for a very standard breakfast ( a la carte) the food was covered in flies . I could go on, this hotel may be great for families with young kids but definitely not for couples or adults without kids. The pluses the staff were friendly The Italian restaurant at night was good(flies must be asleep) The food at the bar restaurant was good And Diana the hairdresser was fantastic

We had a totally happy time with a excellent service at the hotel. The environment is wonderful. The service was good and people kind, especially also to the kids. Room was clean and proper. Thanks a lot!
