Real advice from guests who stayed here.

62

Pay extra and book a superior/high-floor sea view room with balcony (ideally 3rd or 4th floor) for fantastic, quieter views over the bay and beach; avoid back-facing rooms if possible.

Rooms
7

Specific rooms repeatedly praised for sea views and comfort include 2311, 2314, 2417, 2418, 2215, 2118, and 416–418, while 2219 is specifically recommended to avoid.

Rooms
4

Many repeat visitors strongly advise against choosing this hotel at all, reporting very poor overall experience despite the good location.

Service
3

A beach-facing room is much more pleasant than one at the back of the hotel, which overlooks less attractive surroundings.

Rooms
3

Several guests felt the rooms lacked enough drawer and cupboard storage for clothes and personal items.

Rooms
2

Several guests strongly recommend the à la carte Masai/Massai restaurant for lunch or dinner during your stay.

Dining
2

Go bed-and-breakfast only rather than half board or full board, as on-site dining is less favored and there are better options nearby.

Dining
2

If traveling solo, consider paying to upgrade to a double room with sea view rather than taking the smallest room category.

Rooms
2

Some bathrooms have open-style toilet and shower layouts with limited privacy, which may not suit everyone.

Rooms
2

The in-room air conditioning can be noisy, so avoid running it on maximum if you are a light sleeper.

Rooms
2

If you care about peace and quiet, avoid rooms located directly above the restaurant and be aware that sea-view rooms closer to the front may occasionally get live music noise in the evening.

Rooms
2

Higher floors are not only better for views but also tend to be quieter at night, away from more of the street and bar noise.

Rooms
1

If you stay here, consider drinking or eating at the nearby bar run by an English owner, which guests praise—especially for an excellent English breakfast.

Location
1

If you can choose between the complex’s buildings, pick the La Cala or Marivent sections for better rooms and outlook.

Rooms
1

Some "king" beds are actually two twins pushed together that can separate during the night, which may be uncomfortable for couples.

Rooms
1

The hotel is about a 12‑minute taxi ride from the airport and typically costs around €30.

Transport
1

There’s no need to rush out early to reserve sunbeds with towels, as there are usually plenty available.

Activities
1

Corner rooms are larger and brighter than standard rooms, making them a good choice if available.

Rooms
1

Avoid the restaurant located under the hotel by the beach, as multiple guests found it poor compared with other options nearby.

Dining
1

First-floor sea-view rooms mainly face an old olive tree, so opt for at least the 2nd or 3rd floor if you want a better outlook, accepting slightly smaller balconies for the improved view.

About Be Live Adults Only La Cala Boutique Hotel

You step straight off the promenade onto Cala Major beach, and Be Live Adults Only La Cala feels almost part of the sand. The low-rise, whitewashed building wraps around a compact pool and sun terrace, so you’re never far from the sea or the bar. Inside, rooms are bright and simple, with pale wood, clean lines and little perks like Nespresso machines and iPod speakers that make it feel more like a stylish city hotel than a resort.

Cala Major is about 10 minutes by car from Palma’s old town and roughly 20 km from the airport, with a public bus stop just a few steps from the entrance. The hotel has around 70 rooms, all with free Wi‑Fi, minibar welcome items and pool towels ready to go. Mornings start with a buffet breakfast, while half board guests can pre-book dinner at three nearby sister spots: Pelícano for Mediterranean right on the sand, Masai for fusion dishes, and Porto Bello for Italian; an outdoor bar and beach club (May–October) keep things lively. Guests can also pay to use the spa and gym next door, and there’s a tour desk, bike rental and basic parking options.

La Cala suits couples and friends who want an adults-only, feet-in-the-sand base with easy access to Palma’s restaurants, shopping and nightlife. It’s not for those craving big resort facilities or family-friendly entertainment. Book it for slow beach days, sunset drinks at Pelícano Beach Club, and quick escapes into the city when you’ve had your fill of sun.
