HSM Calas Park

We had such an amazing family holiday here & would love to book again next year. I struggled to find a review that I wanted when I was looking so hopefully this will help others. Transfer - took us just over 1 hour with about 4 drop offs before us. You get dropped off at the road & have about a 30 second walk to the hotel. You meet at the same place on pick up (similar transfer time back to the airport). It was absolutely no problem whatsoever. I'd heard the transfers could be 2 to 2.5 hours so was pleasantly surprised. Rooms - we had a sea view room just above the bar. The views are breathtaking & cannot be beaten for a sunrise. The rooms are as you see in the pictures. One bedroom & a lounge area with a sofa bed. You can separate the bedroom beds into 2 beds. The sofa bed has another bed you pull out from underneath so it worked perfectly for us as a family of 4 where our kids wanted to swap where they slept. There is a spacious balcony, a bathroom with shower, a table & chairs & a small kitchenette. We bought water/crisps & stored them in the room but with all the food we didn't really need to. The cleaning staff are amazing. Rooms are cleaned every day & the rooms are spotless. There is a TV but you have to get the remote from reception (we didn't bother). There's also a small rack on the balcony to hang your wet clothes on. As we were above the bar, it could be loud until about 11pm but we were always down watching the shows anyway, so this didn't really affect us. The free air-conditioning is a god send & there is also free Wi-Fi. We paid 38 euros tourist tax when we arrived. Hotel - the hotel & the grounds are beautiful. I liked that it wasn't just a big hotel block & it was more like 8 different apartment blocks on a slope. Receptionists were always on hand. The grounds were kept really clean too. The hotel has 3 turtles & a goldfish which our kids loved. There are about 70 steps down to the pool from reception. Whilst the steps weren't a problem for us, I imagine for people with buggies/mobility issues, this might not work. We were in the bottom block so only had about 15 steps to walk down to get to the pool. The all inclusive restaurant is up the steps and over the road from reception. There is a small park out the front of reception which was a nice addition that the kids enjoyed. You receive a token for a plastic cup on arrival & hand it to the bar. They give you your plastic cup & off you go. The bar staff clean it for you if you want a new drink. There are massage chairs & some arcade games in reception too, along with an information board which tells you the day's/week's activities. Food/drinks - like the previous review, if you're coming looking for 5 star gourmet food you won't find it here, but you're not booking a 5 star hotel. There was never a shortage of choices & always space in the restaurant. You're given a leaflet with the restaurant times on when you arrive & you'd be extremely unlucky to ever see it closed. 8-12

Beautiful view and walkway along the sea, 8 mins away from Calas Domingos beach. Rooms are good. All inclusive was pretty good. I ate different meals every night- grilled chicken, meatballs, pasta, chili. People complain about the food; trust me it was pretty good. Deserts also varied each day. They had a wine and beee self serve in restaurant that was nice as well. Bars were never packed and had a drink in under 1 min 90% of the time. Good cold beer and I enjoyed the gin and tonics as well. Improvements that can be made: pasta is way too soft should be could less. Only saw chicken nuggets served 1 day at lunch the 9 days we were there. Kids love chicken nuggets, place is full of kids they should be served daily and they were really good. Croissants were only served 2 breakfast mornings. We are in Europe where croissants are a staple- they should have them every morning. Bacon is also too undercooked. Other than that I enjoyed all my meals here. Shoutout to Nadya and the entertainment staff. They do aerobic shows by the pool in the morning, kids club most of the days for the kids and they even perform in the shows at night. They were amazing! I recommend this hotel because it’s all inclusive and it’s a great value for the price. Throw in the location above rocky cliffs over looking the sea. We were the only Americans here- I venture far and wide for exotic places either beauty and value- I recommend Calas Park; especially if you have kids between 2 and 10. Very family oriented and everyone seemed polite and nice that we spoke to during our time there.

Excellent hotel to stay at. A 3* hotel but a 5* service. We stayed in a sea view room and the scenery was breathtaking. Obviously we interacted more with reception and restaurant staff but WOW. Very professional and friendly. The entertainment staff were incredible and for anyone with young kids would definitely be looked after by them. I would DEFINITELY recommend staying here.

Hotel is absolutely beautiful, beds are very comfy, staff and entertainment team are really lovely. Rooms and all areas of hotel were clean and very modern. Cleaners were very thorough and worked very hard. We booked a sea view room and I highly recommend!! The view is just amazing it’s so worth it. In terms of area there’s lot of shops and bars, there’s mini golf in the middle of the square (in the middle of the shops), and there’s also a little funfair on an evening for kids also near the shops. Food at the all inclusive was OK - expected for a 3 star hotel. They did have paella every day of our stay at lunches and it was beautiful- varied from seafood and vegetable. There was also shark for a couple of nights as well which was beautiful! The rest of the food was basic but still nice. The pool was lovely and could always get a sunbed. Entertainment was good - some nights the entertainment team would do a show, other nights they would hire a company to do entertainment. There’s direct access to the promenade where you can walk along the sea and find multiple beaches- all of which are beautiful and have lifeguards. There is also a lifeguard at the pool everyday. Overall I’d definitely recommend this hotel the location is just amazing and you can’t beat it.

Everything was good, over expectations! The view, the location, the room, the animation, the kindness of the staff. All was absolutely fantastic. Everything but the food. For me and my family the quality of the food wasn't so good... We are Italians, of course. Especially pasta was really bad and overcooked. Ham, salami, cheese and hard-boiled eggs looked like they were the same for days. Even desserts and some other preparations were hard to be eaten. Anyway we could find something to eat we did appreciate. Fresh bread every morning, omelettes, some meet or fish grilled, and something more. If you'll try to emprove your cooking style givin the right importance to quality instead of quantity your reputation would be the top. Thanks for everything, we really enjoyed our staying.

We loved our holiday at Calas Park, staff were all so lovely and great facilities. We did all inclusive, food was good. I’d say what you’d expect for a 3 star hotel, restaurant was clean and there was lots of variety. Breakfast got a bit samey, lunch and dinner was better. Pool is great for kids, although a bit cold to start with!! My daughter loved the kids club, and the staff were so lovely. Entertainment is good, with a disco every night for the kids. Lots around the hotel too, shops, bars and restaurants. My only slight niggle is that the shower goes in and out of hot and cold, at times scolding hot then freezing cold not great when you’ve got little ones. There are lots of step to the rooms and pool and bar areas, this didn’t matter to us but worth noting if you’ve got mobility issues or buggy’s etc. I’d highly recommend Calas Park, a perfect little family holiday.
