Globales Cala Blanca

Where do you begin when a hotel means this much to your family?

We have just returned from our fourth family holiday at Globales Cala Blanca, following another wonderful 9-night stay, and once again we leave feeling incredibly grateful for the memories we have made.

Quite simply, Globales Cala Blanca is a little piece of paradise. Menorca itself is beautiful, but what makes this hotel so special is the people. From the moment we arrive, we are welcomed like long-lost family rather than returning guests. There is a genuine warmth throughout the hotel that is impossible to manufacture — you can feel that the team truly care about their guests.

And after seven visits, that feeling is even stronger.

The People Make This Hotel.

The entertainment team are exceptional.
From morning until evening, there is an incredible range of activities for the whole family — rifle shooting, archery, cocktail games, pool activities and so much more. There is something for everyone, whatever your age, and the team have an amazing ability to encourage people to join in without ever making anyone feel pressured.

Judith and Lucia are absolute stars. Warm, funny, friendly and incredibly enthusiastic, they have a wonderful way of putting everyone in the holiday spirit. Their energy is infectious, and they make the entertainment feel like a genuine part of the family holiday rather than simply an organised programme.

A very special mention must go to Mayte.
Quite frankly, Mayte is first class. She is a central pillar of the entertainment team and, in our opinion, a huge part of what makes the hotel so successful. Her leadership, organisation, enthusiasm and genuine care for guests shine through in everything the team does. The atmosphere around the hotel simply wouldn't be the same without her.

🍽️ Restaurant – Fantastic Choice & Wonderful Service

The restaurant provides a different theme each evening, with a great variety of food and plenty of choice. Across nine nights, we always found something to enjoy, with enough variety to keep the whole family happy.

And then there is Carolina, the maître d’.
Carolina is the perfect example of what exceptional hospitality looks like. She is kind, professional, incredibly helpful and always seems to find a solution. In particular, she goes out of her way to help families sit together, something that makes a huge difference when travelling with a large family.

Thank you, Carolina — your kindness is genuinely appreciated.

The Bar Team – Always With a Smile
The bar team work incredibly hard and yet somehow always manage to remain warm, friendly and welcoming.

They work tirelessly to make sure everyone is served promptly while maintaining a high standard of service. Even when the bar is busy, there is always a smile and a friendly word.

Gemma and Victor deserve a very special mention.They are standout members of the team who consistently go above and beyond. They genuinely seem to care about making sure guests are enjoying themselves, and their attention to detail and friendliness mean that you leave the bar with a smile.

Those little interactions become part of the memories you take home.

Reception – Nothing Is Too Much Trouble
The reception team are welcoming, professional and incredibly accommodating.
Whether you need something small, such as arranging a taxi, or something rather more significant — such as extending your stay because you simply don't want to leave — they are always willing to help.

Mariabel, the head of the reception team, is exceptional. She consistently goes above and beyond to make sure guests receive the highest possible standard of customer service. Nothing seems too much trouble, and she has that rare ability to make you feel that your request genuinely matters.

Yes, We'll Be Back!

The hotel itself is clean and well maintained, the rooms are comfortable and to a good standard, and the setting is simply beautiful.
But after four visits, we know that the real magic of Globales Cala Blanca isn't something you can put on a facilities list.

It's the people.
It's seeing familiar faces when you arrive.
It's being greeted with a smile.
It's the Mayte and entertainment team getting the whole family involved.
It's the bar staff remembering you.
It's Carolina making sure families are looked after.
It's Mariabel and the reception team always finding a way to help.
It's the feeling that, even though you're hundreds of miles from home, you've somehow arrived somewhere familiar.

That is why we keep coming back.
Globales Cala Blanca isn't simply a hotel for our family anymore. It feels like our home away from home.

To every single member of the Globales Cala Blanca team — thank you.

Thank you for your hard work, your kindness, your smiles, your patience and for everything you do behind the scenes to make people's holidays so special.

Our seventh visit has given us another nine nights of wonderful memories, laughter, sunshine and familiar faces.

And, unsurprisingly...
We're already looking forward to next year.
Until then, thank you for another unforgettable family holiday.
Globales Cala Blanca — a hidden paradise on a blissful island, made truly special by an exceptional team.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Five stars without hesitation.

We have just returned from a 4 night last minute break to this hotel and simply can't understand some of the negative comments.
The hotel is in a great location, a short walk from a beautiful sandy cove, with a bus stop right outside the hotel, and a supermarket within a few metres.
The staff are all friendly, helpful and hard working, and the hotel itself is clean and comfortable.
There may not be a huge variety of food, but we found it all to be tasty, and almost always fully available, with the kitchen staff keeping everything stocked up, even towards the end of the sitting.
It may not be the most luxurious 4 star you will find, but neither is it the most expensive. It also has certain restrictions in its all-inclusive package, but these are easily followed, and i would suggest that some people could perhaps temper their expectations to match the price they pay for their holiday.
We would not hesitate to return.

Just arrived home after a 4 night break at this hotel, sad to say that I’m glad it was only 4 nights.
So good things - double room with sea view was nice, though small, was clean and the bed was comfy. The hotel its self is very clean and the staff work hard and are friendly. Gemma in the bar was lovely as was the TUI Rep, Rafael. The location suited us, quiet and near a lovely little beach cove with a small number of bars and restaurants with stunning sunsets.

Not so good things - the food was a let down, not a great variety and very, very much like a canteen vibe. The lunches were better than the evening meal, which I found odd. The food overall lacked variety, I understand that is it a family hotel but let’s be a bit more creative than chips, nuggets, mashed potatoes and some boiled veg, though saying that some of the salads were ok. While we were there, there was a Mexican themed night, which was the best food over our short stay.
Water - this was perhaps the biggest issue for me. I totally appreciate that the hotel is working towards reducing single use plastics/green/environmental issues and I have been in plenty of hotels where you are given a couple of bottles of water when you arrive and then you refill them from water stations. However this hotel does not get this right - you are given one small bottle of water each in the room and then told you can refill them - the hotel has only one water refilling station in the whole of the hotel which is in the main bar area, which is only open from 10 am until about 12am. There should be more water stations in a hotel this size, at least one on each floor of the hotel and another in the reception area, and be accessible 24/7. This is very important as the weather was really hot when we were there. Yes, you can get water in the restaurant but it’s says that you shouldn’t use these dispensers to fill bottles. Also had to ask for a couple more as the room cleaner threw away ours from our room - they weren’t in the bin, but just on the side, empty. We were given a couple more but was told, quite sternly not to throw them away again - we didn’t, the cleaner did! The food, the canteen like restaurant and the water issue definitely makes this hotel feel like less than a 4 star and a bit ‘cheap’ to be honest.

Our holiday July 2026 to menorca. Myself and my son 15 ASD. Through tui , travel agent sold us a dream absolutely excited for our holiday as everyone knows its not cheap . On arrival of the hotel first impression was dated not welcoming rushed check in . We head to our room in very small lift very slowly, outside of lift the floor tiles were cracked and broken large light fitting dirty and broken large class panels were dirty hand prints all over. Carpets were not cleaned stains on walls our door paint was chipped. The room was small it was clean missing curtain panels bathroom tiles had black stains bath hooks broken large bits of poly filler where tiles had broken, glass shower panel not safe especially with children. This was sold as a 4 star hotel it definitely wasn't 3 at best . The restaurant was nothing more than a canteen to small flies on food ,cheeses and meats and breads . They serve snacks in the afternoon, but the kitchen staff one day decided to start taking the equipment apart and turned the hot plates off so food cold . We were there for 10 days bedding changed twice and towels maybe 3 times. The pool certainly wasn't big enough sunloungers dated some ripped, sun umbrellas were mix of old and new ones. The stairs were old unsafe. If you wanted pool towels they were 10 euros each deposit and 1 euro each per day for a clean one back which isn't standard for a 4 star hotel. Location was good bus transport was excellent and the taxis were fair prices. Nightly entertainment was good but not one for long there was pool activities but nothing really for teenagers to do. The cocktails listed were very poor bar staff were hit and miss being polite. The entertainment staff excellent especially Mayte 10 stars and the tui rep Rafael 10 stars and he was the only reason for us staying. Forgot to mention the beach was lovely bit more than a short walk had excellent places to eat and drink very friendly. I wouldn't return to the hotel, and it did upset myself and my son as this was supposed to be our dream after a very tough last year.

My husband and granddaughter stayed at the Globales Cala Blanca for a week 18/07/26.
Staff were very friendly on arrival and room was available immediately. The room was pool facing and although very small was very clean and the view was beautiful.
Long hanging space is very limited with none available in the wardrobes. There were 3 small hooks on the side of the wall that you could hang dresses on but they were very short in length so dresses for myself and granddaughter were squashed together and creases couldn't drop out. There are big 'light' boxes next to the bed which look lovely but don't really serve a purpose. I'd rather have a bedside cabinet with more drawer space and a light on the ceiling. The Aircon didn't feel great on entry but was absolutely fine and much needed as temps reached 31 degrees at 8.30pm.
Pool area was spotless with a bigger pool and a baby pool. Plenty of sunbeds with no need to get up at the crack of dawn.
Staff are friendly and the food is very good with plenty of choice. They don't have a child section but that didn't affect us as we all eat a healthy, varied diet. Snacks aren't that great, burgers , hot dogs and fries that didn't look appealing to me.
I've not used a drinks token system before and found it a brilliant idea to stop waste and mess round the pool.
One thing not a good idea was limiting drinks to 2 each bar visit which they were very strict on.
We always had to make an extra journey back to the bar for the third drink. Perhaps limit the drinks to the amount of people per paid booking .. especially when the 3rd drink we needed was a soft drink.
There was a lady on her own with 2 small girls .. she had to take both children to the bar each time, leaving the table to be taken by someone else whilst she was gone or leave one at the table outside on their own. Not ideal really.
The entertainment team were absolutely brilliant and really do deserve a special mention. They were encouraging without being pushy and always had a huge smile and a lovely greeting. They're the jewel in the crown of the hotel.
The entertainment in the hotel was very good too with groups and shows which were great fun.
The little cove is pretty and nice for a beach day. There isn't too much around the area but you can wander up to the commercial centre where there are a few bars and restaurants. Cituadella is a bus ride away from the bus stop outside the hotel.
Lastly I had no idea that the hotel let the general public in for the day if they paid a fee. Another guest advised me to keep a close eye on my granddaughter as there were random people parking their cars outside and coming and going each day using the pool and restaurant without wristbands. This wasn't something I was aware of on the TUI page.
We had a lovely holiday and with a couple of tweaks it could be a brilliant place. I think it's more a 3 star than 4 at present but still very enjoyable.

We arrived midday on the Monday and had to wait an hour as our room wasn’t ready. This was quite frustrating as we wanted to freshen up after a long journey.

Once we did get the room we were pleased and it was clean throughout the stay.

The buffet was a bit disappointing. There were flies over the food and it felt a bit like school dinners. There wasn’t much fresh fruit and the drinks weren’t great either - we mostly stuck to water.

The pool area could do either a bit of updating. We also struggled to get a sunbed as other guests would put their towels out early and leave them there all day/night.

The only other frustration was the cost of the safe - quite pricy in my opinion.

Overall, a bit disappointing and I would rate more a 3* than 4*

We stayed here for a week in July as a family of 4 (3 adults and 1 child), and overall we had a good holiday, but there were definitely a few things that stopped it from being a great one.

First, the positives. The staff were genuinely lovely throughout our stay - always polite, friendly and happy to help. The hotel itself was spotless, with the cleaning team doing an excellent job every day.

One thing the hotel absolutely got right was the all-inclusive drinks system during the day. Every guest was given a token at check-in, which you exchanged for a reusable glass at the bar. You could only have a maximum of two drinks per person at any one time, and honestly, it worked brilliantly. It meant people were only ordering what they were actually going to drink, rather than holding up the queue by ordering six gin and tonics “for the family” at 11am. The queues moved quickly, there was far less waste, and everyone got served much faster. At the end of the day, you simply handed your glasses back, collected your tokens, and repeated the process the next morning. Interestingly, the token system wasn’t used in the evening, but during the day it was one of the best all-inclusive systems I’ve come across.

Now for the bits that had us scratching our heads…

The air conditioning deserves its own review. Calling it “air conditioning” feels generous - it seemed to produce more dry air than cold air. Most mornings I woke up feeling like I’d spent the night in the Sahara, complete with a blocked nose and congestion. My sinuses have probably earned loyalty points.

If you enjoy an early morning, you’ll love the sunbed situation. If you don’t… you’ll quickly learn that 8am is considered a lie-in. Unless you were out there before breakfast with a towel in hand, your chances of getting a bed were about the same as winning the lottery.

A word of warning if, like us, you prefer one of the garden sunbeds rather than being packed in around the pool. The sprinklers seem to finish their morning shift somewhere between 7:30 and 7:45am. We discovered this the hard way on our first morning when they absolutely KO’d my book. Don’t worry, I wasn’t actually planning on reading it. It had been promoted to the very important role of “sunbed reservation device.” Consider this your public service announcement: wait for the sprinklers before deploying your towel… and your sacrificial paperback.

The pool is also trying its very best, but it’s simply too small for the number of guests. At busy times it felt less like swimming and more like participating in an organised game of human Tetris.

There also weren’t enough tables or bins around the pool. It wasn’t the end of the world, but it did mean you spent half the day balancing empty cups, ice cream wrappers and other bits of rubbish on your sunbed until you either left the pool or made a trip to the toilet where you could finally find a bin. A few more bins dotted around the pool area would make life much easier and save everyone from becoming the designated family rubbish holder!

The food was a bit of a tale of two meals. Lunch was consistently the standout, with plenty of choice and some really tasty options. Dinner, however, was a bit more of a lucky dip. I quite enjoy trying different foods, so I usually found something I liked, but not everyone in our group was as adventurous. On a few evenings, the choices felt quite limited for those who prefer more familiar food, and they struggled to find something they really wanted.

One important public service announcement for any fellow sangria lovers: don’t make my mistake. For six nights I happily helped myself to red wine, completely unaware that the sangria was hiding on tap… at the opposite end of the restaurant near the bread station. Apparently, one drinks dispenser was Team Red Wine, while the other was secretly Team Sangria. I only discovered this on my final night and, quite frankly, I felt robbed. Hopefully, this review saves someone else from suffering the same tragic fate!

One thing that really stood out was the lack of alcohol-free drink options. If you don’t drink alcohol (or you’re a child), the choice was pretty uninspiring. It was mostly the usual fizzy drinks or water, with very few mocktails or more interesting soft drinks available. It would have been nice if non-drinkers could enjoy something that felt a bit more like a holiday treat too, rather than watching everyone else sip colourful cocktails while you’re on your fifth Kas Lemon of the day.

The Wi-Fi deserves an honourable mention. I wasn’t expecting fibre broadband, but I did hope I’d be able to load the news before tomorrow’s headlines arrived. It was painfully slow most of the time.

The hotel only has one lift serving everyone, so unless you’re training for a stair-climbing competition, expect to spend a fair bit of your holiday waiting for it.

The evening entertainment was a bit of a mixed bag. Paying extra to play bingo after already paying for an all-inclusive holiday felt a little cheeky. Not only did you have to buy your bingo tickets, but if you hadn’t packed a pen in your suitcase (because, let’s be honest, who thinks to bring one on holiday?), you also had to pay for a pen! It all started to feel less like holiday entertainment and more like a fundraising event. It would have been nice if more of the evening animation activities were included as part of the all-inclusive experience.

As football fans, we were also disappointed that the World Cup final wasn’t shown. We were on holiday in Spain… where Spain were actually playing in the World Cup final… and yet the hotel wasn’t showing it. That seemed absolutely criminal! It felt like opening a cinema on Christmas Day and deciding not to show Home Alone. It was such a missed opportunity to create an incredible atmosphere and bring all the guests together.

Finally, a small but memorable point: the toilet paper. Let’s just say it had all the softness of tracing paper and I’ll leave it there.

Despite all that, we still enjoyed our holiday thanks to the fantastic staff and the cleanliness of the hotel. With a few improvements, better air conditioning, more sunbeds, a larger pool (or fewer guests!), faster Wi-Fi and perhaps investing in toilet paper that doesn’t feel like sandpaper, this hotel could be a real winner.

We have just come back from a lovely week at this hotel ( two adults and two teens) .
Check in was quick and easy..you do pay tourist tax and the safe was expensive, but you get €10 back when you return the key.
Our room was a family room on the third floor..there was a separate room with two twin beds and then another room with a double bed. The bathroom was dated but clean and we had no issues with water pressure.
We had two balconies, which looked over the front of the hotel and also had a side view of the sea in the distance. In the evenings they train horses in the field opposite and we enjoyed watching them.
The room was quiet and the cleaning was good.
There is only one lift for the entire hotel and it only takes two or three people at a time. However, we never seemed to wait for lifts even during busy times.
At first glance the restaurant seemed very small and cramped, but the staff are so efficient at clearing tables and seating people and they are constantly replenishing food as items get low and cleaning the food stations. I felt it was better organised than in some larger hotels we have been to. Carolina who manages the restaurant, is brilliant at her job and makes it all run like clockwork.
The food was amazing...there are different themed nights and my favourites were the local, tapas and the mexican nights. I can honestly say that I enjoyed every meal we had here and I am already missing the gazpacho!!!
The pools were lovely and so warm. There is a paddling pool and a main pool that starts shallow and gets deeper. Inflatables were allowed when we were there. Beds around the pool go early , but there are plenty of beds to be found in the gardens no matter the time of day.
The animation team here made the holiday for us. Mayte and the two other girls ( Judith and Lucia?) are so friendly and welcoming to everyone and we got involved with most of the games during the day and the entertainment in the evening. By the end of the week, you feel like you are with family.
The entertainment at night was a mini disco, bingo and then an act ( singers, acrobats etc). The Tina Turner show was absolutely brilliant!!
The bar staff worked hard and queues were minimal and moved quickly. The drinks included as part of the AI were fine for us and the token system during the day, makes sense as it keeps people from leaving empty cups around the pool.
There aren't many shops nearby, just a supermarket, but it is only a 5 minute walk to a lovely beach and the bus stop outside the hotel has buses running to Cituadella every hour ( about 20mins journey). Cituadella is beautiful and worth the visit.
Overall we had a brilliant week here and are definitely thinking of booking a return visit for next July..there are lots of repeat visitors at this hotel and I can completely see why.

Hotel is quite standard. We paid a reasonable price, but we are aware there were other guests who paid quite a lot more, which we would’ve been disappointed in paying.

The all-inclusive is bare minimum, there seems to be a lot of rules, for example pool snacks have to stay in the restaurant with no other options of snacks like fruit, ice cream without sitting for lunch. Three cocktails included, not able to have more than three drinks at one time (even if you’re a family of 4 and having 4 soft drinks).

Location is nice, a few lovely bars 5 mins away next to the beach, bus is convenient. Felt like a lovely balance of touristy and for locals.

Rooms are fine, clean and housekeeping are great. Air con is rubbish, really poor. Generally good room size.

Entertainment, bingo and lots of games going on every day. The two ladies who ran is were lovely, they really stood out in the hotel. Staff were pleasant enough.

We were not told until the last day we can use the facilities for the larger Mediterrani hotel 5 minutes away, which looks lovely.

Nice enough for a short break, it doesn’t feel like 4 star rave reviews like we’ve seen. Very average but pleasant.

We have nothing but positive feedback for this hotel. We had such a lovely time away. I guess you get back what you put in!

The staff were very welcoming, kind and helpful. There was so much on offer at meal times, I’m confused by the comments stating otherwise as I’m not sure what more they could offer. They do themed nights for dinner which was fun too!

The rooms are spotless, the cleaners work so hard, in fact all of the staff do. The entertainment stuff were enthusiastic and fun and the bar staff were great too!

It is a quiet area but only a short walk from a beautiful beach, bars, restaurants and shops. There is also a bus stop right outside the hotel.

The tax was expected as that’s generally common knowledge but also stated when booking.

We will be back - absolutely zero complaints from us!

El trato del personal, tanto de la recepción, del bufet y del bar del hotel, ha sido muy buena. El hotel tenía muy buena ubicación, a menos de 500 metros se encontraba Cala Blanca y a 8 minutos el puerto del ferry y Ciutadela.

Pulizia, personale cortese, servizi eccellenti

My wife and I have just returned from a pleasant 2 week holiday at the Casa Blanca. Our holiday didn't get off to the best of starts. We had booked, and paid extra for, a room with a pool view. Unfortunately, we were allocated room 141, which didn't have a pool view at all. Before unpacking, I returned to the reception to question why, only to be told that the hotel was fully booked and they would try and resolve the issue the following day. So we unpacked most of our clothes in order to hang them up to avoid further creasing. Then, suddenly, our room phone rang,to be told that they had found us a pool view room, so, obviously, we had to pack everything back up! But still, credit to the staff for sorting the issue quickly. It's true what many reviewers have said, that the hotel is in a quiet area with only a few bars and shops around. But we knew this, as we had done some research before we booked. People who complain about it being too quiet have only themselves to blame for not researching beforehand! It suited us fine, as we like to go out on long walks, and were more than happy to walk to Cala'n Bosch, Ciutedella and Cala'n Forcat, areas with a few more shops, bars and restaurants. We found the room to be comfortable, a lovely King sized bed, good aircon, a kettle and a TV that worked most of the time, I think the WiFi was a bit hit and miss. The bar staff, restaurant staff, the cleaners and the animation team were all very friendly. I've dropped a star because I feel the food could have been hotter and more varied, also, there never seemed to be any ice for the drinks in the restaurant. I appreciate that we ate fairly late, about 8.30pm, but surely, the ice should be getting replenished. On the few days we didn't go out walking, we always managed to get sunbeds on the grassy area, as this is our preferred location. All in all, we had a very nice stay, but probably wouldn't return, as we feel we have seen all there is to see in the surrounding areas.

Just returned from one week's holiday with my 16yr old.
Lovely relaxing stay though won't be returning.
On arrival, €46 euros for tax
Safe €43 +€10 deposit (expensive, most hotels are €15)
Room -located on 3rd floor, quiet, clean and air con.

Food- not much choice and not all labelled. not much choice for kids.
Service- not the friendliness of staff. One of the bar staff was very rude and abrupt.

Drinks- not much choice in way of all inclusive drinks, and operated on a token system.

Pool- busy, not very clean. People not showering before entering. Managed to get sunbeds if you turn up early.

Location- 5 min walk to the beach, small and busy.

Visited Cala Den Bosch whilst there, 10 mins on the bus €3.40 for 2 one way... bigger beach, a marina and a few more bars/souvenir shops
Not much to do around cala blana, small resort, which is ok if youre not planning to do much.

Entertainment- could be better.
On the whole would this as a 3*

Pleasant stay, but there are better all-inclusive options for the price.

Overall, I had the relaxing holiday I wanted and enjoyed my week here. The hotel has plenty of repeat visitors, which clearly says something, but having stayed at a number of all-inclusive hotels, I do think there are better options available for a similar price.

I booked a pool view room and was allocated Room 101. While you can technically see the pool, I'd describe it more as a restaurant roof view than a pool view.

The beach is only a short walk away. During the day it's small, busy and unfortunately there's a large pile of rotting seaweed that doesn't smell great. However, if you're an early riser, it's absolutely beautiful for a swim at around 7am before everyone arrives.

Pros
• Quiet at night – the bar closes at midnight, so it's easy to get a good night's sleep.
• Plenty of entertainment if you want to join in, although it's equally easy to ignore. The aqua aerobics was always great fun.
• No problem finding a sunbed.
• Fast, friendly bar service.
• Bus stop to Ciutadella is directly outside the hotel.
• Supermarket just a few minutes' walk away.
• Excellent air conditioning.
• Housekeeping was efficient every day.

Cons
• Reception staff were efficient but not especially welcoming.
• You have to pay to use the room safe. I've travelled extensively and genuinely can't remember the last time I had to pay extra for one.
• Pool towels require a deposit (I'd read this beforehand so brought my own).
• Saw flies landing on food in the buffet.
• The buffet felt a bit like a school canteen and the food quality was mixed - I chose to eat out a couple of evenings.
• Very limited choice of fresh fruit.
• Drinks by the pool require either handing over a token or returning your reusable cup each time.
• Only one small bottle of water was provided in the room on arrival and it wasn't replenished. No complimentary soft drinks or beer in the fridge either.
• Wi-Fi was extremely poor. I ended up using 5G for my entire stay but heard off another guest there was another step you needed to take if you were on an iPhone
• No complimentary ice creams during the day unless you had dessert at lunch or dinner – otherwise you have to buy them.
• Witnessed a bit of anti-social behaviour – rinsing sand covered flip flops in the hotel pool when there’s pool side showers and towels on loungers at 8am but only came to sit on them after 2pm

One final point really let the hotel down.

The day before I left, I asked reception about somewhere to shower before my evening flight. The shower booking sheet for the following day was completely empty, so I booked the 2pm slot.

When I arrived at reception, I watched the key for the shower room being handed to a couple. Instead, I was taken to the fourth floor, then up two further flights of stairs, past what seemed to be dozens of dead flies, to what looked like a former massage room with a shower cubicle. There was no lock on the door, no toiletries, no hairdryer and the entire floor was completely deserted. It felt very strange and, if I'm honest, rather unsettling and creepy up there. It certainly wasn't the shower facility I'd been expecting and left a disappointing final impression.

Despite the negatives, I did have a relaxing holiday and met some really lovely people there. If your priorities are a quiet hotel, easy access to Ciutadella and spending your days by the pool, you'll probably enjoy it. Just be aware that, in my opinion, there are better all-inclusive hotels offering better food and facilities for similar money.

Chambre très propre et fonctionnelle, belle terrasse. Buffets variés et de qualité.

We travelled here, 2 adults and 2 16 year olds in the middle of July, literally just about to leave after a weeks stay. All of the previous reviews seem fair if I’m honest and really they are based on personal opinion but what we can say is that it’s average. It’s a very quiet place with not much to do, if you like that sort of thing that’s great but if you’re more active don’t bother. Lots of pros and lots of cons which everyone has covered, for us the food was ok, plentiful and tasty. The rooms clean and tidy. Pool area could do with improvements (decking area shocking, any builder or in the trade you will spot this right away, very bouncy) entertainment is what you would expect but tamed down a little from other all inclusive places, quiet, random times like start water polo at 5pm and other games around this time. The team are also not the friendliest, Judith in particular we found very rude along with some bar staff, inexperienced I would put this down to, not welcoming and only target certain guests. Overall wouldn’t come back but not a bad week in the sun.

Apologies to those regulars at this hotel if my review upsets you – we know because some of you were very loud telling everyone how many times you have stayed at Globales Cala Blanca, but we will not be going back. There are a couple of plus points dotted around in this review, see if you can spot them ...
If following this review, the hotel respond saying “thank you for highlighting these things we will certainly look into them” then do not believe it. Most of these issues were highlighted to the hotel while we were there and they did nothing at all about any of them.
This hotel is All Inclusive to the bare minimum – they provide what they have to provide to call it all inclusive and not a thing more!
The arrival at hotel reception was very poor, it was just 2 of us, so no crowds, no friendly greeting from the receptionist, no welcome drink, we were not made to feel at all welcome, it was a case of going through the motions. We were given a piece of paper with meal times on it and that was about it. We had to go back to reception later to ask about pool towels, wifi and to get someone to fix our television. We also asked about the room safe but the money they wanted for 10 days it would probably have been cheaper to buy new passports if the were stolen!
We did notice later that on some days they had brought a drinks trolley into reception, maybe to offer a welcome drink to new arrivals – but it was only an alcoholic drink on offer so no good for non drinkers or children
There is wifi throughout the hotel but it is very weak and incredibly slow, so to ensure the best reception you probably need to loiter around the reception area.
On occasions the televisions in the room freeze, we were there at the start of the world cup 2026 and these instances were most likely when so many people were watching the football in their rooms at night. We had no issues with hot water in the shower or water pressure but we spoke to couples on the 1st floor who said taking a shower was at times dangerous because the water was so hot of switched between hot and very cold.
Our room was on the third floor at the front of the hotel which was quiet, just what we wanted, the room was clean and the beds comfortable and cleaners unobtrusive. However the hotel only has one lift (no service lift?) so on more than one occasion the lift doors opened and a member of housekeeping was there with a full trolley of laundry leaving no space for guests!
We had 2 bottles of water in our fridge when we arrived. After a couple of days I asked when these would be replaced as we had drunk them. I was advised we could buy more from the vending machine or refill them from the water dispenser but they would not be replaced.
The food in the restaurant, and there is only one restaurant, was on most occasions very poor.
Labelling of the food for allergens was very slap dash, even dangerous at times. Some food had no labels at all, some labels were in the wrong placeOn more than one occasion I questioned if an item was gluten free, they looked at it, checked online and miraculously the label changed in front of me, warning me it contained gluten!
But they did manage to serve chicken Paella which had no chicken in it, lamb tagine that several people warned us not to touch as it was all bone and gristle, a pork dish that had an excessive amount of salt in it – maybe to try and cover up the poor quality of the meat. A chicken dish that was all bone , skin and cartlidge and sat for over an hour with no one touching it at all. Prawn Avocado that were tiny and had one prawn in and jelly you could drink – they removed this from display when I pointed that out. I felt sorry for the staff as they advised they got to eat what we did not – no wonder they are all quite slim!
One random question – why are most hotels abroad, but particularly Spain, unable to do bacon? They call it bacon but we all know it's a poor excuse for it
Staff were slow to clear tables on occasions, some worked exceptionally hard whilst others....
Well done to Carolina though who was always friendly, helpful and had a smile. So good that she will probably find somewhere better to work with less hassle if she tries.
The drinks available on All Inclusive were very limited (copy of drinks menu attached). You could drink as much beer as you wanted all day but if you wanted, or in my case being Coeliac, a gluten free beer then you had to pay for it! A very limited selection of cocktails too and only 2 drinks per person at any one time. No ice creams available from the bar unless you paid for them, if it's ice cream you want you have to get it at lunch or dinner time in the restaurant or again in the restaurant during snack time. But woe betide you if you put some in a paper cup and try to take it outside – they will rugby tackle you and tell you you cannot do that.
Let's head outside where it's not generally too difficult to get a sunbed (June so the hotel isn't full) or an umbrella. However well over 50% of the sunbeds are well past their best, the seams on the material is stretched and splitting meaning that when laying on them you are directly on top of the supporting metal bars. There is also a problem with people reserving sunbeds in the morning and then not appearing until late afternoon.
None of the tables around the pool were wiped or cleaned ever (actually we cleaned a different one every day) and had sticky residue from spilt drinks etc over them. The pool area around the edges was very grubby, the edges of the terrace particularly, but it was obvious why when seeing a person with a hose come out in the early evening and splash water around, the hose is not long enough to reach the edges and no effort is made to sweep or clean – just to splash water around and wet the terrace.
We also witnessed two people with strimmers using them around the bar decking and pool areas at about 7pm one evening while people were sitting drinking and still sunbathing. Has anyone witnessed the damage a stone being flicked up by a strimmer does when it hits a person?
As for the outside bar decking...Sitting in most places on this decking and trying to have a drink is like being on deck onboard a ship in rough seas and if anyone walks by close to your table hold onto your drink or it's likely to fall over. The supports under the decking are clearly rotting or in need of additional support and I would be very surprised once the hotel is at capacity if the decking survives the season without collapsing.
On a big plus, we were up early to depart on our final day and met Gisela on reception. She was excellent and rather surprised and disappointed when we said we would not be back.
Also well done to Rafael the TUI rep who always had a smile and would try to help but is on a hiding to nothing when hotel management do not care.
There lies the crux of the problem at this hotel, management are invisible and clearly do not care, guests keep paying and coming through the door so why change anything? Reviews like this will not change anything but at least you can't say you were not warned if the read this and then book a holiday here

The hotel was incredibly comfortable, with incredible chicken both lunch and dinner great for protein. The beach is only a 2 minute walk with a gorgeous sunset, the receptionist tania was incredibly helpful who explained all the tourist options in incredible detail. The pool is lovely and warm with underwater exercise, the beds are comfortable with lots of room in the hotel aswell, when we arrived it was spotless, overall an incredible experience for us as guests.

We stayed at this hotel last year, and whilst we've often said we'd go back to different hotels, we never have. Until this one! There is something so very special about this place. There is alot of repeat bookings here which says everything, so this time we saw people we already knew. It was like going to a local pub, where you know everyone and everything is familiar, and those you don't know you'll get to know. It was the same with the staff, and it was so lovely that they recognised us and us them.

The hotel is super clean, so poolside, rooms, dining rooms and bar area are all looked after and feel welcoming. The food was really great, and being coeliac, they made provisions for me for gluten free bread, etc, with a toaster just for that bread. There were themed evenings, such as Oriental, Italian, Mexican, alongside very Spanish dishes. The salad bar was incredible. It would take a very fussy eater to not enjoy the food here, and we definitely loved it.

A special mention to Mayte, Judith and Lucia, the entertainment ladies, who were incredible. They organise and deliver events through the day, such as boules, archery, aqua dance and shoolin, plus sort out the bingo and live events in the evening. They are all super enthusiastic, really friendly, always have time to chat, and full of happy energy that is infectious and makes everyone want to take part. They are the heartbeat of this hotel, and it would feel too quiet without them. Cheers, ladies!

There is a rep based in the hotel (Rafael) who was lovely. We didn't need to arrange trips this time as we'd done that last year, but he did help us with places to visit with our hire car. Definitely go to Cuitadella, Mahon, Binibeca, El Toro mountain pass and some of the beaches. Buses are cheap and stops outside the hotel for Cuitadella. To go to Mahon, head for Globales Mediterani, turn right then at the roundabout right again to pick up the bus on the main road.

We absolutely loved coming back, and we'll be back again so see staff and guests who we regard as friends now. Thank you so much for making our holiday so wonderful.
