Gavimar Ariel Chico Club and Resort

"Just got back yesterday from a week at this hotel on AI basis. Location is fantastic, a very short walk (5 mins) to the Cala Gran beach, and is also very close to the centre of Cala d Or. I found all the staff to be very friendly, from the warm welcome at reception to the dining staff, bar staff, the maids and maintenance staff, everyone had a smile and said hello. The food and drinks were of a very good quality with plenty of choice and the entertainment on a night was enjoyable. I found the room to be very comfortable and the maid cleaned daily. Good hotel, with good staff, good location, good weather…..great holiday! Would definitely return."

"Me and my Fiancée visited for a week in September. We had an amazing holiday, location is right next to the beach and only a few minutes walk to the main square. The main stars of this hotel are the animation team! All of them were so friendly and were great at getting people involved. They always made an effort to speak to us, even if we just bumped into them around the hotel. We tried most of the activities and had so much fun. Big massive thank you to José, Donovan, Erwan and Issam. You guys made our trip very memorable :) The activities also weren’t too child focused which was perfect for us as we’re a childless couple. Pool area was nice, all inclusive cocktails were perfectly fine. They do come out of a machine but they are nice. The premium cocktails are made by the bar staff and are incredible. Quite a few sun loungers were broken, the backs did not go up and stay in place. But these were placed at the back. However, we did often sit on a bed and realise it was broken which was a shame. There was enough selection of food that there was something for everyone. We ate in the hotel more than we ate out. We would definitely return."

"Lovely hotel in an amazing location! It’s right in the middle of everything, with beaches, bars, shops and restaurants all within easy walking distance. All of the staff, from reception and the bar staff to the animation team, were incredibly friendly, welcoming and helpful throughout our stay. Online check in is a bit of a faff. The pools were great and there were always plenty of sunbeds available, which was a big plus. Our room was a little run down and could probably do with some updating, but it was cleaned really well every day and the cleaners were lovely and friendly. For a 3-star hotel, you really can’t complain about the facilities and overall experience. Unfortunately, the food was by far the biggest downside for us. I found the buffet food very disappointing and, honestly, barely ate anything from it despite trying to find something I liked. We ended up eating out for most of our meals instead, which was a shame when we had booked an all-inclusive holiday. That said, the hotel itself, location, staff and overall atmosphere were fantastic, and we still had an amazing holiday. Despite the food, I would definitely return! ❤️"
