Iberostar Waves Club Cala Barca

The all-inclusive was great, location is very far from the airport. And the food variety could be improved.

We have just returned from the most amazing week at this hotel. I can’t recommend this hotel if you are looking for an amazing holiday with your young children in a beautiful setting. From checking in at the hotel, being greeted by friendly staff, offered a drink, to the incredible welcome and high five the staff gave our children every morning going to breakfast. Food was good - buffet style - amazing choice and quality , perfect for kids serving themselves (ours loved the pancakes!) 4 restaurants to choose from all buffet , only 1 requires booking - beach restaurant. Definitely do this as it is a great setting. There is also an ice cream parlour open daily which the kids loved visiting to try all of the flavours! (At no additional cost!) The entertainment and activities for the children were 5 star - face painting at breakfast, kids club activities tailored to all different ages including pool games , crafts, cookie making , breach trips, games, pool disco, volleyball, mini bonfire night, science show, bouncy castle ….. the list goes on! The evening entertainment was tailored for all of the family including the adults - circus acts, live music, tribute bands , quiz for all the family , Kareoke , silent disco on the beach as well as beach fire show ! The room was perfect , we had a family room- kids slept In the lounge on sofa beds which was ideal - spacious and very clean. 5 pools , never felt crowded and you could pick a quieter one away from kids slides, Olympic pool if you wanted A huge shout out to all of the staff, especially the kids club team - Christina (who Monty loved) Rafa, Dani ….. I can’t remember all of the names but a massive shout out to all of them!. they were all incredible and made us and our children feel so welcome. We can’t wait to visit again next year.

It was ok but not the best holiday we've been on by far. It was too busy and noisy and even though there are signs saying not to reserve sun loungers, everyone still does and so it's really hard to get some unless you get up at the crack of dawn! We didn't realise the resort is so spread out and the walk from our room to the main areas involved a lot of steps and it wasn't ideal with a young child. There are golf buggies you can get to collect you and take you to reception but we'd still prefer to stay somewhere not so spread out. Dinner didn't start until 7pm which was too late for us as our daughter is usually in bed by that time. The room was average but definitely needs modernising. The balconies weren't very private as there were no screens between adjacent rooms meaning we didn't use it as much as we usually would. The bathroom door was a sliding door with large gaps either side which we didn't like. Yes, there were some positives (range of activities, friendly staff, shops, possibly the food) but we were left disappointed and feeling that it cost a lot of money for what it was.
