Descubra sua estadia em Cala Mesquida

Best holiday in a long time We enjoyed this hotel and holiday so much; we extended it by a few more days! We couldn’t have been happier with everything about Guya Playa. It’s perfect for families for so many reasons. This is not your typical high rise hotel, but small apartments with a lovely vibe. We chose to upgrade to a sea view and was worth every penny - especially if you have kids asleep early and you’re not stuck staring at the car park with your evening beer. The food here was simply exceptional. There is a different theme every evening but still get regular food in addition to. The standard of dishes and ingredients is second to non. As the only vegan in the family, it’s always a bit worrying and limiting. Not the case here. There were vegan options every evening; the chef not over complicating. Cooked amazing dishes such as ratatouille, vegan curries, salads, garlic mushrooms, various vegetables with garlic….I could go on and on. Breakfast time they also had different plant based milks to choose from; almond, soya and oat. The staff were very friendly and did everything to help us with any issues and were lovely with our young children. They even let us get a breakfast when checking out early in the morning before flying home. There are the pools ideal for children also. They don’t look too big on the photos but are more than adequate, and really safe. Always a lifeguard on duty. Beach nearby gets very crowded and is best to go early morning; sun beds are €16 for 2 and an umbrella. If you came brave the crows head towards the other end of the beach away from the hotels and it gets quieter and more beautiful. Anybody feeling particularly brave; the mountain with a tower on top that you can see from the pool is accessible. After a few unsuccessful attempts; the lady on reception told me the route for a morning jog. If you follow the red markings up the mountain, it leads to the summit. Bear in mind it’s rocky and a little challenging in some areas. Predominantly German resort but lots of different nationalities within the hotel. If anybody is wanting to watch English premier league games when there…be aware, bars aren’t particularly accommodating to requests for games - only Bundesliga. Shout out to who was happy to show any premier league game on request and has a beautiful bar/restaurant down on the front in Cala Radjada. Notes for improvements. Rooms could have a brush so that you can sweep up after a meal and messy kids - rather than waiting for the cleaner the next day. The wrist bands are a bit of a nightmare aswell. No plastic and wooden contraptions around your wrist; fantastic for the environment. However, they keep faltering (I assume when the wood gets wet from the pool). We went through 8 bands in total during the holiday. Also Cala Radjada is far away from Palma. This adds to the beauty and vibe, but we paid for a private taxi from the airport; which still takes an hour. If you have young kids
