Be Live Adults Only La Cala Boutique Hotel

This June was my 14th stay since 2015 and while the magnificent staff were as professional, friendly, helpful and kind as always, I was somewhat disappointed by some new changes that have arisen. The changes entailed an empty mini bar ( whereas each room used to have a full stock of soft drinks and beer to use without charge; now the fridge was empty). Furthermore the bathroom towels used to be luxurious big bath sheets but are now very thin small towels such as one would get in a three star Motel. Likewise the rooms no longer have towelling robes and slippers. The wooden sunloungers also need replacing as many are dilapidated. I suspect that the hotel chain has some ownership changes afoot. And while it is a boutique hotel with refined quiet clientele I noted a bunch of noisy rowdy men arrived - some from France and some from England presumably for the World Cup - which makes me think the company is throwing caution to the wind and marketing the hotel to people and places that it never would have over the past decade. Having said that, I would love to come back again as usual in September.

Our stay was good - the pool and private beach were great and it was relatively easy to find a spot. The breakfast has a good selection too (pastries, crepes, juice, hot breakfast, lots of fruit and meat, cereal/yoghurt etc). The rooms need a bit of maintenance. We had some issues on arrival with key cards not working and a faulty mini bar. Reception staff on arrival could have been a bit more helpful.

Fantastic location!

Hotel was excellent, location is right on the beach, room was modern and cleaned daily. Pool area is lovely and easy access to the beach. Breakfast was also good. The only criticism I can make is the junior suite we had booked was on the first floor, and looking out the balcony all you could see was a huge tree blocking everything. An amazing feature for the restaurant below but it does block all light out as well as the view. I didn’t see any warning of this on the website and I feel you should clearly warn someone before they book.
