Ilusion Vista Blava

I don't know why people feel like this hotel is awful and feel the need to give it a one-star. The hotel itself is basic but good, the food is good (choices very every night and there's plenty on offer for everyone), the bar is good, the pool is good and the rooms are just fine. It's not a 4 or a 5 star hotel, it's a 3 star, so you go there without expectations of grandure. We stayed here for a week, and I can honestly say it was lovely. The staff are brilliant. Laying on coffee and tea facilities if you're checking out in the early hours of the morning was a particular highlight of just good hospitality. So if you're on a budget, you fancy a hotel that does what it says on the tin and is just a 5 minute walk from basically everything in Cala Millor, then you can't go wrong with this hotel. Ignore the bad reviews. People just expect too much from a 3-star hotel. The only downside which i feel I should mention is the transfer to the airport from this hotel. Where the hotel is situated a coach can't get down to it due to the narrow roads with cars parked either side, so it drops you off a 3 minute walk away up the street next to another hotel called the Tropicana. It's not the hotels' fault, of course, but it's just a bit annoying.

Well cleaned rooms but very dated, Comfy beds made up daily by cleaners who do a good job ,plenty of towels available .Awful bathrooms tiny and tatty looking. Shower head was that old it had fallen apart ,however after reporting it to reception it was replaced the same day with a new one .Very noisy guests shouting most nights until early hours. Food wasn't kept very warm most of it cold except last two days when it seemed to have been held at an higher temperature.Wasnt expecting much as only 3* and cheap but expected at least a better breakfast, maybe like ourselves not many Britons stay there so not really catered for .No idea what they do with the milk but when I showed a waitress how it appeared curdled on the top on my cup of tea she apologised immediately and questioned the kitchen returned to say it was dust from the machine ? ? . Anyway I requested cold milk from the kitchen which was then suitable to make a cup of tea . There was a full entertainment timetable displayed in reception however the entertainment team were poor, lack of personality and motivation,a disco with no disco lights and a guy sat down picking tracks from a laptop. Sangria was offered two days around the pool with music playing occasionally . Plenty of sunloungers available but constantly pestered by flies landing on you so unable to relax .An outside entertainer appeared on stage one night who was very good " Cristianos" I think his name was. San Miguel included in the all inclusive was decent .Drinks stopped at 12pm .Hotel in good location 5 min walk to beach
