| said: Loved the Alicia. Very clean and bright with a great relaxing pool scene. Plenty kids due to it being the summer hols, but not overrun with them. My child 9 made plenty of friends. The entertainment is good when there is a proff show on although these finished to early 11-o-clock after this there is nothing we kept asking for some music but this was so quit you could hardly here it. The location is brill had room on 4th floor with views to die for, room very big for a family room/ 3 beds Dad had a single room overlooking pool and loved it. Always found something to eat allbeit a bit english for my liking, could do with a kids section in school holidays although always found my bo something to eat.

| said: We knew when we booked this hotel that the location was good, but when we arrived at our room we were amazed just how good!!! The size of the room was huge with lots of plug sockets, the balcony was so big you could have had a party on it. Rooms wre cleaned every day to a high standard, the food was excellent...my only complaint would be that the tables are very close together and therfore we found ourselves bumping into people and chairs etc etc. Location, well, open the patio door to the balcony and the beach stares you in the face.(only a small beach but a bigger one just a short distance up the road) reception staff and maids were friendly and the restaurant manager was lovely. Bar staff not so although we didnt spend a great deal of time in the bar, wich leads me to the entertainment, didnt see much but must say that there was somrthing for everyone no matter what age! Would we visit this hotel again? YES when we are OAP,s as that was the only down side to it. Its FULL OF THEM! Nothing wrong with that of course but as we are only late 40,s early 50,s there wasnt anyone our age to talk to. Would recommend this hotel to anyone .

| said: This hotel was lovely. The staff couldn't have been more helpful especially the reception. They could answer all our questions about local buses nearby resorts etc.
The hotel was throughly cleaned daily and the pool area washed down daily. The food was fantastic. I couldn't think of anythink else they could have provided for breakfast; continental, full English, cheff making omlettes and pancakes, fresh fruit, dried fruit, toast and the list oges on. ~The evening meal was just as good. The evening entertainment was very good. My husband and I don't usually stay in the hotel for the entertainment but we found ourselves witching alot of it.
I would recommend this hotel to anyone.

| said: This is one of the best places I have ever stayed at.
The place was spotless.
The main entertainment area was no smoking which was nice.
There was so much food you could make yourself ill.Again no smoking.
The location was perfect. We were in room 429 with a sea view that was just outside the window. Perfect.
We were told the best room of the 5 floor hotel were the number from 1-18 they had more sun for longer.
There are other rooms with more sun but they don't have the sea view.
The rooms have hot and cold air conditioning.
There is the most wonderfully warm indoor pool and jacuzzi.
It was to cold in the outdoor pool but I'm sure it would be great in the summer months.
The staff were so lovely and helpful.
The evening entertainment was O.K , because it was the start of the season every thing was just starting and it wasn't in full swing.
But there were other places to go for evening entertainment we visited the Bonaire and the Lavante both within a short walk.
It was flat ideal for Pushchair / wheelchairs.
Would I go again Yes without a doubt.

| said: I and my wife arrived at this hotel in Aug 06 on an allocation on arrival deal. On arrival we didn't know what to expect, the staff was very friendly and the reception very clean.
As we entered our allocated room it was in darkness, we opened the curtains to a fantastic view of the sea, at that point we knew we it the jackpot.
The hotel was spotless, the food was great, and overall the holiday was great.
The only down side was the entertainment and Portland holiday need to sit down and seriously look at the standard of the entertainment it was appalling but the rest of the holiday more than made up for it. 6 days into the holiday we rebooked it for two weeks in Aug 2007 (It really is that good). Don't let the entertainment bit put you off you will love the place and you will more than likely rebook it again.

| said: We stayed in the Alicia Hotel, Cala Bona for 7 nights at the beginning of August 06.
We had booked after reading reviews on this site and after having to cancel a previously booked hotel due to dreadful reviews. We were not sorry. The Alicia was lovely.
From the moment we arrived we were made welcome and the staff could not do enough to help. Marc on reception even changed our gala dinner night when we mixed the date up and missed our original booking (we hadn't even expected the dinner which was fabulous, pleased we didn't miss it!).
The hotel is spotlessly clean and very well kept. We had a family room on the 5th floor - the view was spectacular, uninterrupted view straight out to sea. It was lovely on a night when the moon shone over the bay.
The dining room was kept immaculate with a good variety of food each night. There was always something for everyone including my very fussy daughter.
Pancakes, omelettes etc made to order for breakfast if you wanted plus all the usual cereals, cooked items etc etc. Evening meals: wide choice of main courses, including carvery plus all the usual starters, veg, soups etc. Desserts were to die for!
Pool area kept very nice but we would agree with previous reviews regarding the entertainment - this is the only thing that, we felt, let the hotel down despite Gemma's (animation team member who always seemed to be on duty) best efforts. We went out most nights but did see one or two shows - Abba were good but the magical musical night was less so!
We found the beach in Cala Millor nicer, warmer and less rocky than the beach in Cala Bona and its only 5-10 mins walk from the hotel.
We would certainly visit The Alicia again - already thinking about next year.

| said: We stayed at the Hotel Alicia in August 2006 for the first time.
The room we had on the ground floor was lovely with a fantastic view out to sea.
The food in the dining room could not be faulted; there was plenty of choice both at breakfast and at dinner, although towards the end of each dining period the staff were eager to clear everything away quickly and switch off the buffet counters. It was also difficult on occasions to get a drink to go with dinner.
Generally the hotel was very good and we would go back, however the one drawback was the entertainment which was terrible. During the daytime there were a few activities arranged for the children, such as water polo, but not much interest or enthusiasm from the entertainers. The evening entertainment was the worst. Apart from an OK comedian one evening the rest of the week was abysmal with bingo sadly being the highlight! One evening there was actually a "game show" run by the entertainment team with items such as "the ballon between the legs" and "fetching items from the audience" - these weren't funny 20 years ago -and surely more up to date entertainment could be provided? The entertainment team kept making reference to there only being 6 people watching - not surprising really.
Apart from this, the hotel is in a superb location between Cala Bon & Cala Millor and is well worth a visit - just go out in the evenings when the "entertainment" is on!

| said: We went back to the Alicia Hotel in Cala Bona again this year having stayed there previously. In all we've been to this hotel about six or seven times over a number of years and would recommend it to anyone.
The only complaint I would have is there are still not enough sun beds to go round. People were queueing up about 7.30 in the morning to book their place. Also they are well by their sell-buy date -time they were renewed.
Another thing I noticed there were people stealing food from the dining room (mainly old people), surely they don't need to do this, it doesn"t give a very good impression. The new restaurant is a bit of a white elephant I think, I can't really see the point to it, unless they are going to charge for meals there in the future which I don't think will work as the food in the dining room is very good.

| said: This was our first time at the Alicia, and met many people who returned there year after year, and now we have already booked to go back next year!
The hotel was excellent, extreamly good food with a wide and varied choice, hotel spotless, staff very friendly, could not find fault at all, except perhaps fridge hire or a mini bar would have been the icing on an extreamly good cake!
The rooms were very comfortable with lovely sea view to wake up to each morning. The entertainment very good with some good professional acts, and the hotel entertainment staff worked tirelessly both during the day and evening to provide a varied programme of events to suit most people.
One point I would like to make is that, as the resort is very flat, there were a lot of wheel chair users around and the hotel catered for them very well, which was good to see.

The hotel was descrbed as 3 star. It only needed tea making facilities in the rooms to qualify for 4+ stars. We can find no fault with anything in this hotel, it had so many extas like indoor swiming pool,a spar pool,hair dryer,shower caps,free tv and a wonderfull view of the mediteranion.
The carpeted rooms and passeges made it very quiet when people were coming and going.We do not expect such a high standard for 3 stars.
We will be going back to this hotel soon.

Food was very good, roast every day.
Hotel is between Cala Bona and Cala Millor, short walk to both.
Entertainment when we stayed was more for the older age group.
Staff were always helpful when ever asked.

| said: This was our second visit to this lovely hotel.
The hotel had been closed for re-furbishment for 2 months and only re-opened 3 days before we arrived. Because of this it was only about a quarter full and the entertainment programme was not fully up and running. The entertainment organiser Matt managed to arrange something for most evenings although we did have rather a lot of quizzes!!
Once again the view from the room was superb - lying in bed looking at the sea takes some beating!
Food again very good although maybe because there were not many people in the hotel there was not the usual carvery at the evening buffet - not a problem though as there was a huge choice of other items.
We love this hotel - and only wish it could be booked direct during the summer months instead of having to use Portland Holidays.

| said: Hotel Alicia was absolutely brilliant it was clean and tidy.
The rooms were cleaned everyday and were quite spacious and nicely decorated. As I stayed on the first floor we had a huge balcony over looking the sea that was on our doorstep.
The food was fantastic a wide variety a choice every night and breakfast was superb.
There is plenty to do for everyone as there is an outside and inside pool, table tennis, gym and an excellent entertainment programme run by Matt and Kristina who were very polite and enthusiastic.
The entertainment was non stop so you wouldn't get bored and the entertainment at night was also excellent with a different act on every night. There was a wide range a things going on for children and adults. Especially for meeting people children and adults. I came away with lots more friends who I will always stay in touch with.
The staff were good and Matt and Kristina were amazing and were always there to help and have a laugh with hope to see them soon, we had so much fun and would definitely go back.

| said: We stayed at the Alicia Hotel in Cala Bona Majorca in March of this year we were three adults sharing one twin and one single room, I have to say we were there for a fortnight and could not find one fault with this hotel.
The cleanliness, hotel staff, location and entertainment were way above the three star rating this hotel has, we have stayed in may four star hotels which did not come anywhere near the standard of this hotel.
The hotel bedrooms were very clean, pleasantly decorated, and oh so homely, the food was excellent and something for everyone, and Christine the entertainments manager was way above any I have ever seen before she really kept the entertainment going she was great.
The single room was exactly like our twin room only on a smaller basis but had a beautiful balcony just like the twin, usually you get a single room which is like a cupboard and no room to turn but this was extremely pleasant, and I would advise any single person who wants a single room to go to this hotel.
It was such a friendly hotel everyone knew everyone and everybody spoke to one another it is the perfect Hotel for anyone travelling on their own as friends were made immediately.
The staff were extremely helpful and once again I could not find fault with any of them they were all there to make your holiday the tops thanks very much. I found that this hotel did not cater for children all that much, but there were children there and they seemed to be thoroughly enjoying themselves, and Christine made sure they were included in everything.

The room were very nicely decorated and had lovely views.
The food (especially breakfast) could not be faulted - there was everything you could possibly want.
Entertainment was good and varied althought this was still the winter season so might be different in the summer.
We will return to this hotel.
