Cala de Mar is an absolutely stunning hotel with breathtaking views and luxurious amenities. The rooms are incredibly private with their own plunge pools, and the staff goes above and beyond to ensure a memorable experience. However, the dining options fell short of expectations, particularly for a hotel of this caliber. Overall, the property is perfect for a relaxing getaway, but the food needs improvement.
