Aldea 2 Cala Fornells

This hotel is an absolute gem, the rooms are decorated to a high standard, the views are spectacular, the staff a very helpful. It is small and quiet but if you want hustle a bustle the beach is a short walk away. Be mindful the hotel is on a hill and there are lots and LOTS of steps to the beach and the main resort. The resort of Peguera is lovely, with a large aray of beachside cafes and restaurants, all reasonably priced too. We will certainly be back to Aldea 2 Cala Fornelles x

Stunning location. The rooms were ideal for two adults and two children plenty of space and more traditional in style. It was very comfortable with two bathrooms and two balconies . The washing machine came in handy as the weather that was forecast was different to what we had packed for ! Cleaned every other day with fresh towels and bedding was changed once during our stay, which was fine for the time of year. There are a lot of steps down to the resort from the accommodation. The bathroom and kitchen areas are a little tired but I think the block opposite was having a refurb so this may be on going. Everything you need for preparing a simple breakfast or lunch. As a family with young children arriving past midnight we would have appreciated a bottle of water or opportunity to buy one at reception. We have not travelled to Majorca for over ten years and we were very impressed by both the accommodation and the resort.

Die Apartmentanlage „Aldea 2 Cala Fornells“ befindet sich westlich des Platja Palmira auf einer Anhöhe. Den Strand und den Ortskern von Paguera erreicht man über zwei Treppenanlagen (insgesamt ca. 250 - 300 Stufen). Da die einzelnen Stufen sich in Höhe und Breite unterscheiden, kann insbesondere der Aufstieg schon anstrengend sein. Wer nicht gut zu Fuß ist, sollte daher über einen PKW (Mietauto) nachdenken oder ein anderes Hotel wählen. Auch das Innere der Apartmentanlage ist nicht Barrierefrei. Die einzelnen Apartments sind über kleinere Treppen, Treppchen, Platos und Absätze zu erreichen. Genau diese Außengestaltung trägt aber zum Charme der in den Abhang gebauten Anlage bei. Alles erinnert mit ein wenig Fantasie an ein mallorquinisches Bergdörfchen. Der Ausblick auf das Meer ist ein Traum. Die gesamte Gestaltung hat uns sehr gefallen, weswegen wir über kleinere Mängel hinweggesehen haben. Frühstück gibt es von 8:00 bis 10:00 Uhr. Das Frühstücksangebot war für uns ausreichend. Es beschränkte sich während unseres Aufenthaltes aber auf eine Minimum-Standard-Auswahl. Es wird auch nicht unbedingt immer nachgelegt. Wer also die gesamte Frühstücksauswahl nutzen möchte, sollte früh kommen. Eine tägliche Zimmerreinigung bzw. die Möglichkeit eines täglichen Handtuchwechsels gab es während unseres Aufenthaltes nicht. Allerdings war unser Apartment (Nr. 264) mit einer Waschmaschine ausgestattet. Das Waschmittel für eine Waschmaschinenladung hätte zur Verfügung gestanden. Ebenso Spülmittel für das Geschirr, Geschirrtücher und Schwamm. Unser Teil der Apartmentanlage war sehr ruhig. Ob das auch für denjenigen Teil der Anlage gilt, welcher an das „Restaurant La Gritta“ grenzt, können wir aber nicht beurteilen.

The Aldea 2 is a lovely place to stay, gorgeous Spanish tiles everywhere and traditional style architecture, a bit more interesting than the white boxes that most hotels appear to be. The gardens are beautifully landscaped and well cared for and the apartments have everything you could need along with amazing views! Miguel in the office was very helpful and everything is in good shape. The pool and terrace are lovely with panoramic views, and the restaurant and bar share the same fabulous location. There are no negatives to the Aldea 2, just a couple of notes for those planning to book, it is up a hill and there are lots of steps to certain apartments so inform the office before you book so that you can be placed at ground floor if mobility is a problem. The pool goes from 0.85 to 3m deep, so may be an issue for some with small children. My only gripe would be the number of people who ‘reserve’ their sun loungers before sunrise by throwing a towel on them and then not returning until after lunch meaning that the sun lounger cannot be used all morning, I find this behaviour thoughtless and selfish. Maybe a notice to say that towels will be removed when residents are not present would help in future. A great hotel with lovely views and quick access to the beaches below. The resort is very family friendly with lots of eating out options to suit all, and nice coastal walks to other bays. The bus 103 takes you to Palma, which is beautiful, and if you are planing a day trip to the caves I would suggest taking the bus into Palma and then picking up a trip from there to save time.
