Request a larger room, ideally with balcony sun; standard rooms can feel small and storage space is limited.
What guests mention
Travellers are especially fond of the welcoming staff, who are often described as exceptionally accommodating, and they appreciate how clean the rooms and outdoor areas are kept. The setting near both Cala d’Or’s restaurants and marina is another strong point, as is breakfast, with freshly prepared omelettes getting a mention. Most find the resort peaceful and fairly priced. On the downside, the quiet ambience can feel too subdued for guests wanting organised fun, and some report frustration when loungers are claimed early. Room quirks are occasionally noted.

About Eques Petit Resort
Eques Petit Resort is a small-scale boutique retreat with a quietly polished feel rather than a big-resort buzz. Its contemporary rooms are kept immaculate, while the outdoor swimming space gives guests room to slow down, with loungers and Balinese-style daybeds adding a slightly indulgent touch. The overall mood is restful and friendly, best for travellers who prefer unhurried days to a packed entertainment programme.
Set in Cala d’Or, the hotel sits handily between the town centre and marina, placing shops, bars and restaurants within easy reach. It makes a particularly good fit for couples and laid-back holidaymakers who want to wander out for dinner or spend time by the water without relying on a car. Those looking for constant activities or a high-energy atmosphere may find its quieter rhythm less compelling.
Guests regularly single out the genuinely helpful team, the diligent housekeeping and the well-maintained swimming area as reasons they would return. Breakfast earns plenty of approval, especially the made-to-order omelettes, and the clean, modern rooms are widely liked, even if they have a few small limitations. The main recurring irritation is the occasional scramble over claimed loungers; otherwise, reviewers tend to see it as a peaceful, good-value base.
