Choose Block 6 for pool and stage views with evening entertainment, while avoiding Block 7’s greater bar noise.
What guests mention
Guests generally like this as an unfussy, well-positioned self-catering option, praising the spacious studios and apartments, generous balconies, attractive tropical grounds and large pool. The bar and restaurant, nearby beaches and easy access to Cala d’Or’s dining scene add to its convenience, while regular evening entertainment suits families looking for a lively stay. The trade-off is noise, particularly around entertainment times and busy communal areas. Some guests also note that in-room kitchen equipment can feel fairly basic.

What guests who stayed here recommend
Real advice grouped by theme — drawn from guest reviews of OLA Apartamentos Cala d’ Or.
Avoid Block 7 if you need quiet nights; noise from the Hollywood Bar or nearby karaoke can continue into the early hours.
Request a corner apartment or large balcony for substantially more outdoor space.
Book a one-bedroom apartment instead of a studio, since studios are very small and offer less space.
Request Block 4 or 5 for a quieter location; Block 4 is farther from the bars and has its own small pool.
Request a room away from the pool and entertainment area if you want quieter nights.
Request a higher-floor room, which offers better pool views and helps buffer nighttime bar noise; avoid ground-floor rooms.
Reserve the apartment’s parking through the hotel website, especially in high season when street parking becomes difficult.
Use the free Wi-Fi in reception and around the pool or Tropical Garden; Block 6 may also receive it near the Tropical Garden Bar.
Ask for a balcony without trees directly in front to avoid an obstructed view.
Request room 6103 for a particularly good pool and entertainment view.
Avoid rooms 7101 and 7102, which sit above the Hollywood Bar and can be noisy until around 2:30am.
Avoid Block 1 because of noticeable ventilation noise from the Tropical Garden roof.
Compare Booking.com with the hotel website; direct booking may provide better parking availability.
Stay centrally in Cala d’Or, with beaches about 3–5 minutes away and restaurants within a 7-minute stroll.
Choose room 7301 for its huge terrace if nighttime noise will not bother you.
Request two room keys at check-in instead of accepting the single key initially provided.
Leave heavy cases at the top of the slope to reception if possible, so you do not have to pull them back up.
Request Block 3 for a quieter stay.
Use the side entrance by Tropical Gardens to reach the pool more easily with prams, because the main route has steep steps and a ramp.
Have only one person check in because the ramp to reception is steep.
Visit in mid-April for pleasant 22–25°C weather while Cala d’Or is beginning its summer season.
Use the Spar supermarket directly across the road for self-catering supplies.
Buy ice cream from the parlour next door; a small tub costs €2.50.
Plan pool time between 10am and 6pm.
Use the second pool between Blocks 3 and 4 for a quieter swim.
Pay for a room safe.
Choose rooms in Block 5 carefully if accessibility matters, because upper floors require stairs and may not suit prams or wheelchairs.
Bring your own towels.
About OLA Apartamentos Cala d’ Or
OLA Apartamentos Cala d’Or is a relaxed, garden-wrapped base with the easygoing feel of a classic Mallorca family holiday. The focal point is its large pool, lined with sun loungers and framed by tropical planting, while the open-air bar-restaurant gives the complex a sociable place to pause for a drink, ice cream or a casual meal. Apartments and studios are simple, practical and designed for self-catering stays rather than boutique polish.
Set in the centre of Cala d’Or on Mallorca’s southeast coast, the property is a short stroll from Cala Gran beach, as well as the resort’s bars, restaurants and coves. One-bedroom apartments include a living area with sofa beds, kitchenette, fridge-freezer, cooker, bathroom and balcony or terrace; studios offer a similar setup in a more compact format. It is particularly well suited to families and couples who want space to make their own meals and a central location. Limited free parking is available, and air conditioning operates in high season subject to weather conditions.
Guests tend to enjoy the good-sized accommodation, especially the large balconies, pool area and leafy setting. The on-site entertainment is a lively feature, with activity and evening programmes adding to the holiday atmosphere, though those seeking early nights may find some noise carries. Practical touches such as kitchen facilities and the nearby beaches are frequently appreciated, while a kettle is among the small extras some guests would like to see improved.
