"We have just returned from a fantastic holiday at Hipotels Bahía Cala Millor, and what a wonderful experience from beginning to end!
From the moment we arrived, we received such a lovely warm welcome from the reception staff, along with a complimentary drink. And can I just mention the beautiful smell as you walk into the hotel? Absolutely gorgeous!
Our room was lovely, with beautiful pool and sea views. A very special thank you to Raquel, who kept our room absolutely spotless throughout our stay.
We stayed half board and honestly couldn't fault the food. Breakfast and evening meals were delicious, with so much choice every day. I must give a special mention to the potato dishes – whatever you do to your potatoes, keep doing it because they were especially delicious! 😂
The hotel is just a short walk from Cala Millor, where there are plenty of shops to explore.
We were lucky enough to be there for the end-of-year festival, held on the last Saturday in September. What a fantastic experience! Each hotel provided three dishes, and the music, atmosphere and entertainment were brilliant. One of the lovely ladies from the animation team was the DJ, and she was absolutely fantastic!
Now for the wonderful pool bar team! 🍹❤️
Where do I start with this fantastic bunch? They really were one of the highlights of our holiday, keeping us entertained, our drinks topped up and making us feel so welcome every single day.
Sergio – the main man! Always professional, with his brilliant straight-faced sense of humour! We weren't quite sure what he made of our Welsh comments at first, but I think he finally got our sense of humour by the end of the holiday! 😂 An absolute star and a real credit to the hotel.
David (Dafydd) – what a lovely young man! Always cheerful, funny and attentive, constantly asking if we needed anything. Nothing was ever too much trouble for him. Such a hardworking and genuinely lovely lad.
Rafa – our very own Grandad Whistler! 😂 You certainly knew when Rafa had arrived for his shift! What a wonderful character, full of warmth, personality and good humour. And, of course, we can't forget his famous “DARLING!” because everyone is a darling to Rafa! An absolute legend! ❤️
And we certainly can't forget Sevi, Ernesto, Jose and Dani. Every one of them was fantastic, always friendly, helpful and making sure we were well looked after.
A special mention also goes to the lovely lady from the animation team who was our DJ. She was brilliant, made everyone feel included and helped create such a lovely, fun atmosphere.
What made this team so special was their ability to combine excellent service with genuine friendliness and humour. They worked incredibly hard but always had time for a smile, a chat and a laugh. We felt more like friends than guests.
To the hotel management – you should be incredibly proud of every single member of your staff. From reception and housekeeping to the restaurant, animation team and pool bar, everyone helped make our holiday so special.
Your staff really are the heart of this hotel, and it's their kindness, hard work and wonderful personalities that make guests want to return.
I sincerely hope this review is shared with all the wonderful staff mentioned, as they truly deserve the recognition. Apologies if I've spelt any names incorrectly!
Thank you all for an absolutely fantastic holiday, the laughter and the lovely memories.
And to Sergio, Dafydd, Rafa and the rest of the gang – don't get too comfortable without us...
WE'LL BE BACK IN MAY! 😉😂"
