Garbi Cala Millor

We had an amazing stay at this hotel! The whole resort is beautifully kept, the staff are super friendly and always happy to help, and the food was fresh, tasty, and full of variety every single day. A special shout-out goes to the entertainment team led by Samuel – you guys were incredible! The program was so much fun and never boring: from morning gymnastics and aqua aerobics to kids’ activities, the kids’ club, water sports, and loads of games, there was something for everyone. Every day brought something new, and the team’s energy and enthusiasm made it even better. Thanks to the perfect mix of comfort, great service, and such a fun entertainment crew, we had an unforgettable holiday. Highly recommended!

Overall our experience at this hotel has not been great. I have stayed in 4 star all inclusive hotels all over Europe in the last 20 years and unfortunately this comes at the bottom of the list. I have tried to give a breakdown of things I wish I’d known before booking. Arrival - We arrived around 8pm, the receptionist was rude and quite abrupt in her manner, presumptive in thinking we were Dutch and seemed put out that we were English. The additional charge for tourist tax was £45.80 per room. (We had 2 rooms for 8 nights) Reception Area - Clean and bright with a few sofa’s then additional bucket style seating with tables in front of the bar area. Entertainment - Mini disco and then in house entertainment which wasn’t very good. Room - Large and spacious room with separate bedroom area bed we’re comfortable and there were extra blankets and pillows on the wardrobe if needed, Small Fridge, Microwave but no kettle and no facility to get a hot drink prior to breakfast opening at 8am. Bathroom was a good size with a separate door inside it to the toilet. The water was hot and was it a good water pressure. Aircon - around the hotel seemed rubbish, never felt like you walked out of the sun into a cold area, in the room it had been turned off prior to our arrival and it took about 24hrs to get it to a temperature that was ok. Pool - the pool area is the best bit of the hotel, never felt over crowded and was kept clean, the pool is a good size but gets busy when everyone is in it as there is not any other choice, there is a small paddling pool for small children with a canopy which is a good idea. Yes the pool is salt water but not too bad. There was an indoor pool and sauna advertised and would have been very useful as we had a few days of bad weather but when we asked how to access this we were told it was closed and it would be sunny tomorrow! Not helpful. Children’s play area and club - not used so can’t comment but there is a small play area and a room where then run a kids club. Restaurant & Food - this has to be the worst all inclusive we have ever had, we are not fussy eaters and totally understand the expectation staying at an all inclusive but the food was repetitive and limited, warm. The doors were open so there were also flies which isn’t very pleasant. Breakfast was ok this consisted of bacon and eggs and pancakes on the main station, with the usual pastries, yogurt and cereal (no child friendly options) cheese and bread. Then depending on the day either scrambled or boiled eggs, tomato’s and random things like sweetcorn. Lunch & Dinner the cooking station had a meat and a fish option and fries, then maybe 2 other options in sauce with a couple of side dishes at the other station. There was salad bar and then a section which was I guess a starter option but this tented to be seafood. Dessert - 3 cake choices at meal times again too much repetition and not overly desirable, there were also mouses or jelly option and ice cream with waf

I am writing this review whilst I am still here incase anyone is feeling apprehensive. I was worried after reading some reviews in relation to many things as we all do, holidays are alot of money!!! I don't want to go on and on so.... There are only negatives if you choose we are from n. Ireland and yes the majority of guests are German who cares I'm here to be with my family not make new friends but ppl are all polite and friendly manners are international. We love it so clean, comfortable and spacious. Air con works perfect if you keep doors shut. Pool is massive always loungers to be had top tip the brown ones are newer and more comfortable. Pool bar perfect, entertainment during day just the right amount repetitive yes but again who cares your on holiday better than sitting at home. Food is decent to much bread to resist 😂 you will not go hungry that's for sure Super duper close to absolutely everything you could want but still far enough out like 10 mins walk to beach literally Listen relax unwind this place hits all the buttons unless you choose for it not to. Have a great time we certainly are x

Overall, our stay in Garbi Mallorca was pleasant, but we encountered some issues during our visit. The front desk lady's attitude was disappointing when we needed new sheets due to a room cleaning mistake. Language barrier made it harder to communicate. However, the rest of the staff was friendly, and the food was acceptable. It would have been better to have some afternoon snacks available even for purchase. We hope the hotel can address these concerns for future guests.

I can’t tell you how happy I was with the service we received at the Garbo. We were English in a predominantly German hotel but it was fine. In General the staff were absolutely wonderful. Kind thoughtful and really keen to make us have a great holiday. Our bar man at the pool and cleaning lady were the best! My daughter suffered though with the unwanted attention of a waiter old enough to be her dad. At times it was really predatory. In all honesty I think it would be fine if you are there with a boyfriend or dad about, but for us mealtimes became a bit of a nightmare. Well done to the Garbo in general though!

We came on a last minute holiday for a long weekend. First of all our booking wasn’t on the system! It was 2am! So we weren’t too impressed very little English so was very frustrating. Food is absolutely shocking! Barely no choice and nothing is English friendly. NO ONE SPEAKS ENGLISH! Although this isn’t the main issue it’s quite clear British aren’t overly welcome… the male receptionist even shh’d my husband a few times waving his hand because he couldn’t understand basic English! Hotel was generally ok. No vending machine no shop or anywhere to get snacks unless u leave the hotel. The rooms are ok air con didn’t work. The bath was broken and not clean. Our room was cleaned once in 5 days. Beach is nice and loads of shops outside hotel. Very German friendly and of course Spanish. But overall not impressed and a complete waste of money. Not relaxed not refreshed just £800 down 🤷🏻‍♀️
