Lovely location, ok apartment
The apartment is in a great location for people wanting to be away from the hustle and bustle of holiday resorts. It faces directly onto the Mondrago natural park, so apart from people walking to and from the beach, there is little noise or disturbance. The flip side is that there are very few facilities nearby and visitors will have to catch a bus to Porto Petro or Cala d’Or for food and drink or have a car. There is a beach shop at Cala Mondrago but it’s mainly for overpriced snacks. The beach cafe is ok for the occasional meal, but gets super busy at lunch time.
The apartment is ok. The kitchen is fine, though the bathroom is tired. There was no aircon in the children’s bedroom (photos of the property show it, so it has been removed and not replaced). The balcony is great, looking out on the pine forest with all its sights and sounds. The beds were not very comfortable. Overall though, the location more than makes up for these things. Tip: if you get a taxi (Cala d’Or taxis are excellent and very reasonable) the driver will probably assume you are staying at the nearby Iberostar hotel, so make sure you stress your exact location - Carrer de la Barca Trencada, near the entrance to Caló des Borgit. Finally, if you have a late flight, there is nowhere (as far as we can tell) to leave your luggage after checkout, other than on the landing outside the apartment, which we did. The cleaners did not arrive before it was time for us to leave so we don’t know if that was ‘acceptable’ or not. It made for a slightly stressful last few hours of the holiday. We loved the location and the beautiful beaches in this part of the island. Recommended.
