Request a sea-view room, preferably on a higher floor or facing Cala Molins; expect late-afternoon sun and possible extra charges.
Guests tend to remember the people and the scenery most fondly. Staff across the hotel are often described as cheerful, helpful and attentive, while the nearby coves, Cala Molins in particular, and the surrounding hills give the stay a memorable setting. Housekeeping receives strong marks for keeping rooms and common areas very clean. Families generally enjoy the laid-back feel, pool bar and entertainment, though those seeking a livelier resort may find the area too subdued. Rooms are comfortable but can be small or noisy, and some guests consider the pool limited. Food and all-inclusive extras draw the most varied opinions.

Globales Simar makes the most of Cala Sant Vicenc’s dramatic setting: mountains rise behind the resort while the sea sits just beyond its balconies and terraces. It is an easygoing, family-focused hotel rather than a polished boutique hideaway, with a relaxed pool scene, casual bars and restaurants, and the sort of atmosphere that encourages unhurried days in the sun.
The hotel is only a short stroll from the small beach in Cala Sant Vicenc, with Cala Molins, Cala Barques, Cala Clara and Cala Carbo all close by for swimming and cove-hopping. It suits families, couples and travellers who want a scenic Majorcan base with beaches on the doorstep, rather than the bustle of a larger resort. Sea-facing rooms are particularly appealing for those who value the view, while the quiet village setting is best for guests happy to slow the pace.
Guests regularly single out the warm, attentive team, from bar staff to cleaners, and many appreciate the consistently tidy rooms and fresh towels. The setting earns plenty of admiration too, especially the coves and mountain backdrop. Feedback is not entirely uniform: some rooms feel compact or can pick up noise, the pool is modest in size, and food receives a more mixed response despite a reasonable range of options. Still, many feel the friendly service and location make it good value.
