Caramelo Marina Calan Bosch

Newly opened in May 2025 the hotel is done to a high standard but there re parts that aren’t quite finished yet, with work ongoing but it’s only during the day that you might notice it. arriving at the hotel there is a bit of a shock as you will have to fork out around €100, 42 is tax for 2 people for a week, 38 is to access a safe in the room the type that many hotels do free and 20 is a deposit for 2 pool towels. You will be given a wrist band that acts as a door access key and you can put money on it to pay for food and drink, we stayed B&b but half board is just €35 added to the card on a daily basis. The place is immaculate, a great location only 40 yards from the beach, marina, local shops and bus stop for local travel Food wise - breakfast is fine and presented like a shop display, occasionally things do run out but is replenished quickly if the items are available, evening meals are done to order not quite sure how this will work when it’s busy but during our stay 14-21 May the restaurant was very quiet in the evenings with only a handful of diners which were outnumbered by staff, Brayan who seemed to be on duty most afternoons and nights was very attentive and helpful as we’re all of the staff to be fair. It’s a place to relax with no evening entertainment and limited lounging areas but you can get drinks and use the dining area or poolside tables. During the day around the pool where there was no lack of very comfortable loungers Lia the lifeguard is great, helping with parasols, noticing if items have dropped off the tables and ensuring that the area is immaculate all done with a smile she clearly loves her job. the fitness area adjacent to the pool isn’t quite finished yet and the hotel could benefit from having a water station for bottles to be refilled but there aren’t to many downsides to the hotel. Overall it’s a great place in terms of being in a fantastic location for the area with staff who are great and always willing to help when needed.

Caramelo has had an extensive and very good quality refurb over the closed season. It is truly a lovely hotel with friendly and efficient staff, including Leah the lifeguard and bar staff. The food? Next level. Executive chef Babis Papadopoulos has created an exceptional menu, both for breakfast and especially, for the al a carte restaurant. It’s impressive! Always ready to adapt a dish to your dietary requirements e.g. vegetarian. The food Babis created was exceptional and for the first time ever, home or abroad, I actually had amazing vegetarian food made with a twist adopted from the a la carte menu. Prices are also very competitive for high quality dining. Caramelo is well located for beautiful coastal walks among other things and short is just a short ride beautiful Ciutadella.

We were looking forward to going to this hotel as it said 'refurbished for 2025' thinking all the work was finished, unfortunately it wasn't. From the day we arrived the workmen were still there all around the hotel drilling, hammering and builders mess and dirt which was left for people to walk over from early morning to the end of the day. The public toilets weren't even finished with doors not lockable and not even a sink in one! We complained to the hotel and asked to see the manager but they seemed to be unavailable and the Tui rep said they hadn't been told it wasn't finished, not sure how true this was. I am sure the hotel will be lovely when it's finished but it shouldn't have opened with the amount of work to be finished, which didn't make for a relaxing holiday.

Recently refurbished for 2025. Opened before all teething issued sorted out. Will be great when they have. Decor beautiful in rooms and public areas .Food excellent Location is brilliant, close to the Marina and small beach. Sadly fell far short on many other issues. The lift has been out of action for most of our stay, not funny when you are on 2nd or 3rd floor. Flooding in dining room, ladies ground floor toilets out of action( 1 didn't have a lock on door and no hand drier only facial tissues the 2nd had a loo but no hand basins, meaning walking up to 3rd floor for bathroom breaks) No welcome drink ! Tomorrow guests can't use pool area between 8am and 10am( the breakfast slot) due to filming for new website. I think they could have offered guests some gesture to compensate for inconveniences. Building works are still ongoing here ,hopefully they get it right soon.

We have just returned from the hotel marina and while I can't comment on food as we were self catering these are lovely apartments .Spotlessly clean with clean towels everyday and the cleaners did a wonderful job .We were a party of 3 adults and 1 16yr old so had 2 studio apartments with kettle toaster hob and good hairdryer,the staff were always very friendly and we .One pool was deep but also another childrens pool and a toddler pool we didn't use the sister hotel as the marina for us was all that was needed with a lovely sea view and near beach and of course the marina would definitely return .

Amazing holiday to Cala En Bosch, our favourite place on the island. Pros: Location of the property is unbeatable, most rooms have a sea view, you are a two minute walk from the marina and a two minute walk from the beach. Staff are very friendly and helpful, someone on reception to help 24/7. The pool options are fabulous, something for everyone and never too busy, even in mid July. We never had an issue getting a sunbed even in the afternoon. As the kids pool is within the main hotel (Globales Cala En Bosch) we found the pools at Marina Apartments to be very relaxing. Cons: We were a couple who stayed in a self catering studio apartment. The apartments are very small, we only stayed for 5 nights and ate out for each of those but if we did want the option to cook, this would have been very difficult in the space. The cooking utensils provided were minimal and it would have been helpful to even have a bread knife. Although there is a fridge, all cupboards are taken up by crockery and therefore no place to store food. The bathroom is also very basic with no shelving for toiletries. There are no cleaning supplies provided and so you had to purchase washing up liquid and a sponge in order to clean your own pots. There was also no sweeping brush and so if you had a sandy day at the beach, you had to wait for the cleaners to come in the next day to sweep up for you. Having a brush would have been very helpful. We would definitely stay at the apartments again as they are great value for money, though the small extra things would really go a long way.
