| said: My husband made the reservations for this hotel when we decided we were going to visit Mallorca. Porto Colom is a absolutely lovely little port in the quiet area of the island. The walk from the hotel is a beautiful one to get to the main port where the nicer restaurants are in the town. The beach near the hotel is extreamly crowded and, although the sea and the water is beautiful, the beach is littered with cigarette butts and trash.
When we first arrived at Ola we were greeted with a generous dose of rude attitude from the man at the desk. He was rude when my husband spoke Spanish to him, answering with an, "I'M SORRY?" in a distinctly unfriendly anti-American air, and gave us a hard time about not having a voucher in order for him to 'get paid.'
When we got into the room, which no one showed us to, we were met with loud, tacky fabric on the beds and curtains. We were shocked to see that we had two single beds instead of a double bed and when asked to change were informed that there were no double beds in the entire hotel, which I would be very suprised to find out is the case. While the room was clean enough it was ugly as anything. The little tv was stuck up in the corner of the room like in a prison cell, the curtains only had one thick piece of fabric and nothing to just let light in and have privacy. We often didn't leave the sliding glass doors to the balcony open because our neighbors on both sides would be smoking.
Our room was only cleaned two times in the five days we were there and our very cheap, paper sealed toiletries were NEVER replaced. The shower curtain was a flimsy piece of material that left a flood on the bathroom floor.
At night we had to crank the air conditioning because of the noise of music, toys and people on microphones, which didn't allow us to experience the ocean breeze. Not to mention the flourescent light spilling in from all directions, and the lack of a lighter curtain to draw close.
All in all the experience was a total bust. We may return to Porto Colom but we will be giving Ola hotels a wide berth.

| said: We went and stayed here in May, the one major drawback was the distance from the town, though saying that there was nothing in the town anyway.
The rooms were very big and quite comfortable, the staff were extremely friendly and hard working. The entertainment staff were realy great with both dults and kids, especially Paul. All in all we enjoyed it and the kids loved it, there is also a really nice beach across the road with some fantastic restaurants.
We would certainly visit the Cecilia again
