Gavimar Ariel Chico Hotel and Apartments

Lo que más le ha gustado a mi hijo Autista ha sido el animador, Jose se gana a pulso a los niños y a los mayores, hemos estado muy agusto y disfrutado, las pequeñeces por mejorar se olvidan cuando te cuidan, volveremos, nos hemos quedado con ganas de usar las preciosas piscinas, todo el personal lo mejor del hotel 💖

Genial hotel, todo lo que pedimos enseguida lo trajeron. La animación fantástica para los niños, el monitor José fue muy simpático y les hizo juegos muy divertidos, les dejo bailar también en el escenario y les dió unos diplomas. Lo único que valoraría negativamente seria el estado del pavimento del parque, el estado es lamentable.

Just back from an enjoyable half term week at Ariel and our first time in Cala D'Or. We stayed in a one bed apartment which has seen better days and in need of TLC but it was clean, comfortable and tucked away in a quiet block at the far end of the complex. The wristband key was great, meaning the teen could come and go. Food was standard for an all inclusive 3 star. There was always something to choose from and it was hot and fresh with lots of hardworking staff in the restaurant (and across the rest of the hotel too). The location is hard to beat, less than 5 mins from the beautiful beach, where we spent most of our days, and the same to restaurants and shops. We would return - we think it's good value and in a great location.

We arrived at the hotel and check in took absolutely ages, they needed so much information from each individual who was staying in each room and If you didn't have a printout of your holiday voucher you had to find it on your phone and email it to them because showing them the voucher wasn't good enough, its not what you need after your flight and transfer. When we finally got to our room, it smelt disgusting, wall covered in mould, filthy shower curtain, hair in bath and dirty bedding. The walls were so thin you could hear everything from the next room and the corridors were so loud with echo. There was a park right at the back of us aswell, so it was just constant noise from everywhere. The door to leave the room wouldn't lock, when you were leaving, it took 5 attempts nearly everytime you left the room for the entirety of the holiday. The wifi was constantly dropping out and for a whole day we had no hot water. The bedding wasn't always changed, just made and sometimes the fresh bedding was dirty. For the most part the food was disgusting but we tried to make the best of it. After eating at the hotel the first night we were both ill with sickness and diaherrea, so we had to be really picky about what we ate for the rest of the week. We couldn't wait for the week to be over, we'd have left the first day if we could. The only saving grace is area of Cala d'or, it's beautiful. Just wished we'd stayed at a different hotel

We had a bit of a rocky start at the hotel, we arrived very late and had some grumpy staff in regards to getting some food, the room is a bit basic but I chatted to the manager who was very professional and generous ( we had a bottle of Prosecco in our room by the evening) the staff around the entertainment bar were very friendly ❤️ the area around the hotel is lovely central to shops/ boutiques and the local beach was literally 2 mins walk away and is sooooo pretty. Loved Mallorca and would definitely go back. Thank you Mallorca ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Firstly,great location,near beaches,near town and shops and in quiet area Room lovely and clean,maid service not every day but not a problem.Food always something,not always hot and dinning room gets very busy ,we struggled to get a table sometimes.Pool ,the one that was open,clean and tidy with life guard always watching.Problem with pool was it didn’t open till 10am and closed 5:30pm.Queues formed and a scramble to get sunbeds when chains taken off .It also closed far to early for people that didn’t want to sunbathe in the mid day heat.Bars served most local drinks unless you paid for premium.Bar staff we’re lovely and friendly and if queues built up they always apologised for the wait. Entertainment,sorry but it was very very poor,not once did they approach us or our friends asking us to participate.I had to ask where and when some of the activities we’re taking place.Evening entertainment was 90% in house and lots of shouting and silly games.One Professional act who was on twice Jamie Gordiola absolutely brilliant singer.Pity there weren’t more proper acts to entertain us. Nice holiday,Cala Dor is lovely and will probably return to resort but not this hotel
