Choose this hotel if traveling with young children, and expect many families with children.

Aparthotel Ciudad Laurel is the sort of easy-going Majorca base that makes family holidays feel properly relaxing. Its appeal is in the practical touches: spacious apartment-style rooms, often with a separate bedroom, a large main pool and a kids’ pool with a splash area. The atmosphere is friendly rather than fussy, with a lively family rhythm around the pool and buffet at mealtimes.
Set in Cala Millor, the hotel is in a quieter spot within reach of the beach and the resort’s shops. It suits families particularly well, including those who appreciate having more room to spread out than in a standard hotel bedroom. Days can be as simple as pool time, ice cream breaks and a wander down to the seafront, while the varied buffet offers an uncomplicated option for evenings in.
Guests regularly single out the staff for being kind, attentive and genuinely helpful, with many saying they helped make the holiday. The pools, clean surroundings and peaceful location earn consistent praise, as do the roomy, contemporary apartments and overall value. A few practical caveats come up: some guests find the beds less comfortable than hoped, and occasional maintenance issues are mentioned. There are also reports of charges for pool towels and limits around refilling water, worth knowing before arrival.
