Cala de Mar is a beautiful resort that offers breathtaking views, top-notch amenities, and amazing food. The staff truly goes above and beyond to make your stay special. While the dining options are good, they could use a bit more variety, especially for extended stays. The absence of a swimmable beach is a downside, but the overall experience makes it an exceptional getaway.
