Hotel Talayot

All staff were friendly and helpful.Good mixture of old and young guests.Allocated table in restaurant for sole use.Adequate choice of hot and cold food.Lunches could be taken in the bar.The lasagne was excellent and they do a lovely pie and chips.Ideally placed on the prom.Easy walk to Cala Bona and Punta N`Amer nature reserve. Indoor pool in the winter,very pleasent.There are 2 nice english bars :sundeck bar: in the shopping precinct and :Beach Boys: on the promenade where you can get a nice cup of tea.Cheapest way to go to Caves of Drach is on the local bus,5 minutes walk from the hotel.

We stayed there in the second week of a Thomson (Dream) 'Cruise & Stay'.
This hotel is officially rated as Three Star, which I think they have got seriously wrong. It is a fantastic hotel.
The hotel itself is extremely clean and well decorated.
The staff are friendly and will do anything for you, nothing, I found, was too much trouble to them.
The food was, for buffet style eating, absolutely fantastic with a wide choice every day.
The location was excellent, being at the north end of Cala Millor, near to Cala Bona, being a stones throw from the sea. Unfortunately there is a one hundred and fifty yard walk to the fantastic beach.
It was our first time at the hotel, but would not hesitate to stay there again or recommend it to family and friends.
The only down side was the nightly entertainment who were all past their 'sell by date'

The food at the hotel was great, not only a nice selection of meat and vegetables, but plenty of extras and variety.
I like to get out and explore when I'm on holiday, so I don't really have much more to add. Friendly staff, a good meal, and a good nights sleep.
I will go back again for sure.

Well i have just returned from the talayot hotel,, after being away for 2 weeks in a cruise and stay we had never stayed at the talayot before but we like trying new things, when we got there we were amazed because this is only a 3 star but to me i felt like i got treated like million stars, there was 3 of us and we were on the top floor on a corner room,, which meant we had a bigger balcony meaning we could see the sea because of this bigger balcony which meant we didn't have to pay extra,
The food was lovely and it looked done very professionaly, the waiters were good, others were quiet at time, but gregory the head waiter always knew how to make us laugh if it was copying what we said in a stupid voice or making a joke.
At night time we had heard of the legend called andreas but when we first arrived we thought of him as a nutcase,, but as we got drawn in to the entertainmen ,, he couldn't stop me laughing,, how he says things how he did things,, and his bingo and daytime entertainment were great,,
The bar was good, not to expensive and had happy hours, i took a liking to the younger staff ( going to give them a mention paco and bernando,, always made me smile and would always come over for a chat and ask if we would like any drinks.
The cleaning was good done very quickly although they didn't know much english.
I love the area bvecause you can just walk or hire a bike and you can cross cala millor or cala bona,
I already want to go again and hopefully will come again next year.
The only down side for me ( no offense is thta im 18 and the majority of the people are elderly, so wasn't much of social for me.
Anyways i thought it was great and want to go back
best 3 *** i've ever been too :)

Just returned from holiday in Calla Millor staying at the Talayot Hotel, everything was first class, paid extra for sea view which was well worth the money.Food was to a very high standard and would love to go back in the future.

We are a 40 something couple without children and have just returned from a week staying at the Talayot. The hotel sits in a superb location right on the seafront between Cala Millor and Cala Bona with both resorts literally only being a few minutes walk away. We paid a little extra to have a room with a sea view and this was well spent as the hotels sits just back off a lovely promenade with fantastic views right across the bay from our balcony. Externally the hotel does look a little dated however this is deceptive as internally it is decorated, cleaned and maintained to a fairly high standard. The staff in the hotel are efficient, very friendly, spoke excellent English and can't do enough to make your stay a good one. Equally the food was of a high standard and very much geared towards its almost solely UK clientele. The guests were very much of a mixed age group though the ratio did tend to be more towards the older end and there were no immediately apparent facilities for young children. At the rear of the hotel is a good-sized outdoor pool, bar and large paved area which offers plenty of scope for both sun lovers and the sun shy as the mature trees offer excellent natural shade to some parts.
The only negative I could find with the hotel was the fact that they charge you 14 Euros if you want to have the use of the fridge in your room by way of a key to unlock it. Rather amusingly one of the couples in the hotel had decided that rather than paying for both a safe and fridge in their room they would keep their money and passports locked in the fridge!
The resorts of Cala Bona and Cala Millor are very different. Cala Bona tends to be a little tacky, untidy and uncared for whereas Cala Millor has had what appears to be a complete make over. It is has a very sizeable shopping area which is very clean, completely pedestrianised and is lined with a good selection of good quality shops, bars and restaurants. The beach in Cala Millor, though of a reasonable size, can become very busy at peak times during the day.
All in all this was one of the best holidays I have been on and I have returned completely relaxed and refreshed. Over the years I have never really felt the urge to return to the same hotel twice however this is a trend that I am about to change thanks to the Hotel Talayot.

Just returned from Tayalot hotel and it was what I expected from various independent reviews and value for money .
The hotel has an excellent location and the room is fairley good for a 3 star hotel , although the bathrooom is small . Great balcony with sea view from room 319 .
The hotel has a lot of 60+ English repeat guests and consequently the services seem to be exclusive to their needs . The food was very British mainly a Sunday Luch everynight normally a choice between Roast , Chicken and Fish . In two weeks there cannot recollect one Spanish dish on the menu .
The entertainment was the usual bingo and Caberet aimed at the regular clientelle . Therfore if I wanted a British home from home in the sun would have give this hotel 10/10 but I'm 44 and saw this hotel as a good quiet location for doing my own thing .
I would syay that Cala Millor has a lovely but crowded breach , 80% of tourists are Germans families , 20% British 60+ . Therefore place seemed very quiet of night with little to do . Not a lively resort as described by tour operator. So if your not one of above best give a miss if you want more lively nightlife .
