Inturotel Esmeralda Park

We stayed at a studio in building N for 2 nights. The room is newly renovated and very comfortable with lots of storage space and easy access to the car park, although you could hear some noises in the morning when the staff started to clean the rooms. The breakfast buffet is really convenient with great see views. However the food options aren’t as rich as I’d expect and I am a bit disappointed by the taste of the coffee and juices. The best part of living here is definitely the beach access where you can swim/snorkel in the sea (there are many fishes!), lying on the sun bed and go back to your room to take a shower easily.

The hotel Inturotel Esmeralda Park in Cala D,or is situated in one of the beautifull bays that Mallorca is known for. There are plenty of ways to enjoy your holiday , enjoy the vieuws the sandy beaches or the local shops and markets. Also the beach is a must go

We are currently on day 6 of our week family holiday and wanted to offer our views/tips for anyone due to come here. So, when we booked this holiday in 2024 we naturally checked reviews and all was well. We checked again before traveling and it definitely caused some reservations. For anyone else in this position, dont let it ruin your excitement, there is still plenty to look forward to, you just may want to mix things up a little. We had booked a premium sea view room. It was one of the nicest rooms we have had on holiday, no complaints at all. Housekeeping were friendly and came every day. We arranged the sofa's onto the floor a bit and kept them set up as 'beds', kids (8 & 10) slept fine all week. There is no freezer within the fridge which is a shame. The entertainment & location is good, we found reception staff helpful and friendly. We were self catering so cannot comment on food. Now, onto the pool situation... Frankly, they have ruined this hotel in the new pool design. They have gone for Instagram styling over practicality, when empty its beautiful however during the day it is shear chaos, it should be 3 times the size. We were told it opens at 10, its full from 9 ish. The lifeguards will stop kids playing with a ball even if small (tennis ball size). If not traveling with kids you will be OK as can use the adults only pool. We read reviews saying drago-land was 80 euros a day, guessing the hotel have read these also and decided to reduce, it cost 55 euros for a family of 4 per day. When we booked, there was nothing advising drago land was chargeable so pre travel this was principaly frustrating, however we made a conscious decision to put our principles aside and rescue our family holiday by paying the entry fee ok 4 days. This meant mornings were relaxed, no fighting for sunbeds, no worrying about beds being lost when going for lunch etc. Drago land itself our kids loved, the lifeguards in there are fab, the slides provided hours of fun for the kids (and parents). TOP TIP We used the Azul Garden pool a couple of days which is permitted. Its a 2 minute walk, there were ample sun beds, lifeguards allowed playing with balls etc and it was a much more typical 'family holiday pool day'. SUMMARY We probably wouldn't stay again, but we made it work and enjoyed our week.
