Protur Aparthotel Vista Badia

We stayed here as a family of three (2 adults and a 16yr old) for 10 days in June / July. The hotel was very clean, the decoration was lovely and the rooms were very spacious. The restaurant was nicely laid out and there was a great variety of food.

We just returned from a weeks stay at this hotel. 2 adults and 2 children aged 4&2. First impressions upon arriving, lovely modern and clean reception area. Lovely big room, we had a 1 bed apartment. Our bedroom was lovely but majorly let down by the lack of comfort from the beds!!! The mattresses looked new, and had a waterproof protector on which was stiff and noisy making u sweat all night long!! Horrendous nights sleep all week! There is no kitchen sink and I wouldn’t call it a kitchenette. Just a small shelf with microwave, fridge and empty cupboard. We had two single beds in the living area so couldn’t really chill on the sofa as they were constantly made up as kids beds. The shower is amazing! Lovely clean bathroom! We had a tiny balcony which was constantly shaded. If I was to go back, I would 100% ask for a select room with lovely large balcony and sun loungers that all appeared to have sunshine. The pool area was nice, loooads of sun loungers but found people would lay a towel early, first few days we managed to get them by the baby pool, but after that no chance if you were not down there at 8am! Also very loud all the time, music from the pool bar and entertainment team trying to get everyone going - not me...! Pool area seemed cleanish, but never saw them wash the sun loungers or pool area down like at other hotels so bits of food were seen laying around etc. However we did try the water park in the complex and it was brilliant for the little kids. The food hall is the reason why I wouldn’t return to this hotel. It. Is. Manic! People shoving and jumping the que to get their food quicker, kids running everywhere, helping themselves etc. It was horrendous, and made me feel that I prefer to eat at a restaurant down the road even though we are AI! It all gets two much, everywhere is buffet with same problem. You can’t escape the manicness for every mealtime! We ate in the Sicilian restaurant in the hotel but is also same kind of food, less of, and buffet again. A little calmer then food hall but you can only eat here the once which I feel is bad. You can choose the other complex hotel restaurants to eat at but we never did. Again, eating once at each. Hand sanitiser is available everywhere. We were asked to use it before entering dining hall. After reading previous comments about the sickness bug going around at this hotel, they must be trying to deal with it via hand sanitiser... which is possibly why it’s still about. They clearly have no idea about infection control because hand sanitiser does not kill sickness bugs!!!!!!!! Only washing hands with soap and water!!! Hand sanitiser only stops people hand washing as they think they are fine after sanitiser!! Can see how it easily spreads, using tongs in dining hall buffet, people licking fingers and on to the next tongs (gross) The worry of catching this bug did spoil our holiday, I have to admit! The area is ‘ok’. Typical mainland Spain, tall hotel buildings. Nothing’s very pretty. 10 mins to the beach, which was constantly packed, our towels touched other people’s. Had sunbeds one day, very good, had a safe on the parasol. €35 2beds, parasol, safe and table all day. Sea was gross, black and full of seaweed which kids hated! Lots of little shops and a few restaurants and bars in the area. Little train to take you to Cala Millor which we caught near the beach. All in all, i much prefer Menorca as it’s loads prettier, cove beaches etc. I would not come back to Sa Coma or stay at this hotel again. I also wouldn’t give it a Platinum rating by Tui. But we did enjoy lovely family time together!
