We took the All In option which was very good. First class food with good variety each night. You can also use the 2 al a carte restuarants on 2 nights each week. The Italian is first class with a brilliant view over the beach. If not All In the prices of meals, drinks etc is reasonable so if you are planning to spend days out you may find B&B or Half Board enough, personally I thought the All In was very good value and allowed us to try some cocktails that we would probably not have ordered if we had had to pay each time!
The apartments a very clean, as is the whole site, comfortable for 2 adults and a child, some of them are larger if you have a bigger party. Sea view does mean that you will not be overlooking the entertainments area which though well ordered does go on to 11:30pm. The sea view is breathtaking, see attached from Block 13.
There are 2 outdoor (not heated) and one indoor pool. My 3 year old did not seem to think the outdoor pool was too cold, the accompanying adult was older and wiser and disagreed! It was though early in the season, I would imagine that in the summer it would be plenty warm enough.
There is an excellent team of entertainers who have a good and varied range of kids and adults events running thro’ the day, plus a mini-disco; again loved by the kids but another session of Agadou or Hokey Cokey would have turned me from cocktails to the neat hard stuff. Every night there was other entertainment too including tribute type bands, illusionists, acrobats. These were all first class and showed the hotel did not stint on this element, even early in the season.
Most of the guests were German or Swedish during the week with an influx of Spanish at the weekend. This did provide some communication challenges for my daughter but after about the age of 7 all the other nationalities seemed to speak some English. The animation staff were a mixture of West Europeans and unlike some places did look like the sort of people your kids would be OK with. They all spoke English reasonably well.
Cala Mesquida is about 45 miles from Palma airport in a beautiful cove with a well maintained soft sandy beach which looked reasonably child friendly. Apart form the 4 Viva resorts there is not much else at Cala Mesquida and a car is recommeded if you want to get around the island. If you are not on a package its also cheaper than taxis both ways. (Record Rent a Car Euro 180 for a Ford Focus for a week).
Apart form the obvious things above the hotel has a doctor on site every morning, great safety attention for the pools and activities, very helful staff in all the locations.
This was my first visit to Majorca and it was hugely enjoyable. I would recommend the island and particulary this location and hotel.
