Cala Tarida Vacations from $885

The property, while possessing a nice view, is certainly not very accessible being located at the top of a walled town through narrow, slippery and steep streets. The upper portion of the hotel is very dark and lifeless. The pool and lobby feel to be a world apart

Nice villas but loads of ants and we got lots of bites. Food is super limited but tasty. No amenities but we had a car so could get to a good beach 20 mins away. Main problem was the ants and also the VERY loud iberostar across the road with loud music and bad singers until 11.30 every night. Ruins the nice family vibe sadly

We stayed just one night on our way through to a different area on the island and weren't sure what to expect from the star rating however the staff couldn't have been more lovely. We had a shocking journey over from UK with a flight delayed several hours and huge delay collecting our car hire meaning we didn't arrive until after 1am and with two very tired young children in tow we were struggling to park nearby. The bar beneath the apartments was still open however and the lady checked me in really fast and directed me to parking - only 5EUR a day and easy walking. Our room hasn't been set up for 4, only 2, and that was sorted quickly as well as big bottles of water from the bar. We slept ok given the journey we'd had and then had breakfast which was also spot on. They let us check out at 1pm instead of 11am so we could get the kids a little pool time and relax before our onward journey. I think I'd happily stay here longer if looking for budget friendly accommodation in a good location for access and shops nearby. The apartment had some minor items needing attention (headboard wonky, grout in shower needed some attention) but nothing that caused an issue. In fact we were impressed overall with the offer for the cost. We couldn't thank the staff enough for being so friendly and helpful, it made our rough start on the island easier to put behind us.
