Ca'n Digus Apartments

4 readers found this review helpful

Husband,son & I booked a 1-bed apartment and were given a 2-bedroom at no extra cost. We were pleased with the location of the apartments - at the edge of the 'resort', by the small harbour where we could swim & snorkel, close to restaurants and supermarkets, & boat/wind-surfers hire facilities within walking distance, and by the standard of the accomodation with a balcony front & back. Upside was having a kettle and a gas cooker in the kitchen, downside was no microwave and towels changed only once during a weeks stay. We were overbooked on arrival and 'upgraded' to Son Parc (round the bay) for 5 days with complimentary breakfast but we chose to move to Can Digus for our last week due to the better location and peace & quiet. Majority of the guests were Spanish and the pool & area was clean with plenty of beds. The toilets in reception were clean and well presented, the staff were friendly & helpful and the Internet was a bonus with a teenage boy in our party! There is also a chatty grey parrott with an extensive repatoire to amuse all in ear shot. Would stay here again. Fornells ismore upmarket than other places on the island so is more expensive for dining and shopping.

Just got back from week at can digus, can honestly not complaint whatsoever, we didnt eat there the first few nights, but when we did, we wished we'd ate there more... was great food, and quite reasonable. However some of the other restaurants offer menu of the day for 8 or 9 euros which were great. For a coffee I'd recommend the small cafe bar on the same street as the spar, la guapa or something similar sounding - was good because all the locals seemed to pass here and a great friendly atmosphere. However the apartments were great, and wonderful position. I'd go again and again... Quite a few mosquitos even at this time of year and you definitely need something to frighten them off... Great thanks to Juan and his staff. Even when our water heater broke the staff were very good, but laid back too. Couldnt complain about anything..Thanks Also a mention for Monarch who were brilliant throughout.

The Ca'n Digus apartments are situated in the quiet residential area of Fornells, which until we reached Fornells proved easy to get to. The small, narrow one-way system in Fornells made it a little difficult to manoeuvre and park at times and the apartments do not have a designated parking area which didn't help the situation.

From the outside the complex didn't look very welcoming as it is on the inside. The inside is very neat and presentable with flowering climbing plants and an attractive pool with kiddie section and some of the rooms even have iron balconies and a spiral staircase to them. The reception is small with a large lounge area and TV and outside there are plenty of free sun beds and umbrellas to go round.
Our apartment consisted of a twin bedded room with a safe, an adequate bathroom, kitchen/diner with basic utensils and TV plus terrace leading onto the pool. The only dilemma we had was ventilation as there is no air conditioning in any of the rooms. Adjoining the apartments is the Ca'n Digus restaurant/bar which is convenient, great value and popular with Spanish tourists. The complex and restaurant is situated on the shoreline which is good for swimming and snorkelling although it has no sand just pebbles and concrete bathing area. Walk a further 2 minutes and you'll reach the centre of the pretty bustling fishing village of Fornells where you can find more restaurants mainly serving seafood. Fornells is renowned for its Lobster dishes and the king of Spain has been rumoured to dine here. There are a few gift shops but bars on the other hand are scarce.
We recommend car hire as it gave us the freedom to come and go as we please and to do as little or as much as we wanted in a day. Reading through the guide books of the Island you will find that the beaches are probably the most popular attraction here but don't be fooled that once you reach some of the 'off the beaten track' beaches you will be alone, this is not true and shocked us at time just how busy they can get. The capital Mao and the old capital Ciutadella are both worth a look around too.
We found this holiday relaxing and beautiful and we do hope that this helps you to make the right choice's to suit your needs.
