Sur Hotel in Cala Bona is a fantastic budget hotel. Run by a very friendly efficient family, this hotel is in a great position. Just a short few yards from the beach and near all hotels and shops. Very clean and towels changed every day.Good food. We will definitely be going back.

Me and my two children age 13 and 9 stayed at Sur for 2weeks.
Since its classified as 1 star we were very surprised when we arrived.
The hotel was great - our room was cleaned and tidy. The maid cleaned the room 6 days a week. We lived on4th floor great view over the sea.
Breakfast was fab - buffet where you could chose form hot/cold food.
The hotel is family run....great people:) if a problem they will fix it straight away. Very friendly staff.
Pool table - children/adult pool, tv lounge, tennis.
The hotel also have a bar, where you can watch football or listen to live bands/artist.
Short walking distance to the beach and to Cala Millor.
Great location.
We will deffo go back to visit:)

We stayed that this hotel from 17-24 June 2010 half board - on arrival we were shown a warm welcome - room was small very clean and bathroom small clean. Pool clean and a sun trap Lift worked - This hotel has new owners and please dont be put off by previous bad comments before May 2010..Food was really good they give you 4 choices which you can mix & match. beds were fully changed every day. The family who run it could not do enough for us, on our final morning we had to be out by 6am and they got up specially to do us some breakfast and we were able to make a sandwich each to take with us, our friends came to see us off and they even made coffe for them. We would highly recommend this hotel and you could not get nicer people. Would go back again *****

Fawlty Towers!!!! Inc Basil & Manuel

This is a bit of a mixed review!!! Booked this online 4 weeks before we went for a 5 day break!! Arrived and minute you walk in your thinking "What the hell have i done?" It is a 1 star hotel not a 2 star as advertised. Room is very basic and unlucky for us the weather was not great. Room was clean but on the first night we had no sheets, 1 towel, NO hot water, there is no heating or air con in the rooms so it was FREEZIN. No extra blankets in the room either oh and no pillow cases on the pillows. We went HB and on the first night they had pretty much run out of food so we had to eat out. Saw the Owner/Manager (AKA Basil Fawlty)when we got back and i complained to him (funny how they only speak english when they want too..???) Complained about all the above and he tried to blame everyone but himself for the problems. Told him to get it sorted the next day or we were off!! Even at a one star hotel some things are essential like the hot water!!!! Anyway, went out the next day and returned about 5pm and when we spoke to one of the receptionist (AKA Manuel) he told us it had all been sorted!! Went to the room and he was quite right, hot water, sheets, towels and OMG pillowcases and even an extra pillow!!!! Sorted!!!! The meals are edible but you have to be down there early to get in as limited space and limited crockery etc...... Somedays you did struggle to wonder what suprises were lurking on the hotplates and there is certainly not much choice. Breakfast is an even more crazy line up!!! This year there is a English (cockney) chap who also works the reception and if you need anything this guy is a diamond to get it sorted for you (Marcus). The town of Cala Bona is a great place and the restaurants there are fab. If you are looking for a cheap break and are not bothered about luxury then sure stay here, i think when you first walk in its rather a culture shock, upto you if you stay or not. Alot of people did walk out and seek alternative accomodation up the road. This is a hotel where you have to fight for what you want so make yourself heard if you not getting what you need, they soon listen!!! People we met there tho were great and we often had late night chats over a few beers and laughed about our Fawlty Towers experience which made it all the easier. I took my mum away for her birthday and she said that really i took her on a survival holiday for a laugh hahahaha Oh by the way the pool may look bigger than actually appears ( kiddies pool is more exact)

Oct 2008, sandylo

got back this morning after an enjoyable holiday in cala bona, my friend and i stayed at the sur hotel it lacks a womans touch nice pool with new sunbeds and unlike previous reviews has hot water but extreemly outdated bathroom however our room was cleaned everyday and we also had clean towels each day, the food was basic only salads and one hot meal plus chips and pas staffordshireta however i really enjoyed the fresh salads the deserts were poor no choice. however the staff were excellent really friendly and hard working especially the bar staff. this could be a brilliant hotel with a little money spent on updating it to a three star i would love the challenge as its in an excellent position. young pensioners staffordshire.

Dont know why this hotel is classed as 1 star! Should be at least a 2 star or 2 plus.
The staff really do do their best to make the holiday enjoyable, and it has a family feeling about it.
I actually stayed there last year, and really dont know if it is now under different management, but there seemed to be a lot of improvements made this year. The pool area is beautiful. Plenty of new sun loungers around, and new parasols, tables and chairs. Last year was not so nice!
The place is very clean...
I love the hotel bar. Live entertainment every night, with great music. Tends to be rock music. (Things played like Dire Straights, Brian Adams, Bon Jovi etc.) New Robbie Williams act this year which was really entertaining.
If you want a quiet, relaxing holiday, with early nights.... this is not recommended.
If you want a fun holiday, where you are made to feel really welcome, and know that the beds/rooms/are clean... then I would highly recommend this place.
Thanks for a great holiday. I met many new friends....

First time I travelled alone. Made to feel very welcome and at home here. Everyone was most friendly... not just the hotel staff, but other customers in the bar too. Really enjoyed the live music at night. My tip is to try the cocktails!
The room itself was very basic, but was cleaned daily, had a balcony, and was en-suite. What more can you expect? Dont forget, this is only a 1-star hotel. I cannot understand why other people have complained when paying these low prices! The meals were in buffet form, and you can eat as much as you want! Nice food too. The cook is funny (if you can understand him!), and has a strange sence of humour!
I also read the reveiws first before I went, and was a bit worried... especially about the pool area. They must have changed things since last year, because everything looks new out there.
I would recommend this hotel.

I just want to say thank you to the lady that wrote a nice review about Sur.
We're (me partner and 3 teenage girls!!) in July this year and I've been dreading it cos I know if it's crap I'll be in for it!
I'm not expecting the Ritz, so if what you've said still stands we'll be ok
Thanks again and wish me luck!!

What would you expect from a 1 star hotel? I am sure would would be pleasently surprised here. Great value for money! I stayed in Hotel Sur for 1 week in May 2008, and had a most enjoyable time. The rooms were cleaned daily, and the staff were very friendly. Spent half the time lazing by the pool becasue the weather was superb. great bar with live music downstairs.
I would highly recommend this hotel for an enjoyable budget holiday. No complaints whatsoever.

May 2008, Mrs M Davies

All we can say is don’t know what some people expect the RITZ by the looks of some of the reviews not a 2star.
This was a late booking (booked Sun flew mon). Looked at reviews after thought God what have we let ourselves in for? (Bearing in mine normally book in advance and go 4star +) Arrived got a nice welcome went to room basic but clean. Went for meal (I have intolerance to wheat & gluten) Chef was great (once he understood) asked everyday what i would like. Pool area nice and clean, room was cleaned everyday. Bar downstairs BRILL, all staff LOVELY have live music on every night stays open while 3am so only thing can be a bit noisy .Overall for a 2 stars it’s a old hotel that needs to be modernised but for what it cost to stay there was a nice one nothing to much trouble.

Oct 2007, Mrs S Bliss

This is a poor excuse for a hotel, "Faulty Towers" comes to mind, we arrived on 23rd Sept 2007 what a dismal place, we had no hot water for 5 days, every night we complained to the manager, he kept saying tomorrow will be hot water, then went down into the room beneath the pool area and banged on the pipes for half an hour to no avail still no hot water not even luke warm!! Hot water is a basic need on holiday we complained to our tour operator who rang the Sur only to be told they were having teething problems with the "new" heating system, what a load of Bull, the system was as old as methusela!!!
The write up for this hotel also says has pool bar, it has a thing beside the pool that resembles "beirut" no beer or barman though!! It also advertises a t.v. room, there is a t.v. room there's no t.v. though!! The furniture round the pool was picked up from the local Tip!! & all the sun loungers were broken, the pool was "Filthy" & the food left a lot to be desired.
The write up on several web sites says "has been recently re-furbished" I wish some of these companies promoting this hotel would go & see first hand what a miserable dirty poor excuse for a hotel this is. I warn anyone to seriously think twice about going to this DUMP you are wasting your well earned money this place does not meet a 1 star at all it is disgusting!!!
