Hotel Atolon

The hotel is in the process of changing, previously it was known for live evening entertainment, this has stopped. It now has a Club Beach vibe, with sun beds (for day rent), not loungers and 'chill' beach music. Unfortunately the usual residents were not aware of this and the rental sun beds mostly go unused. This is a pity as they have a fantastic seaview location. Also the hotel has two blocks, the beachfront one has only about 15 rooms and of those 10-12 have frontal seaviews, the rear block is across the road. The buffet breakfast and evening food is excellent and the evening meals changes daily. The staff are good and attentive, the only issue we encountered was that the restaurant was really busy with the tables squashed close together and you also had to queue a while to get your food. This system wasn't relaxing and a bit of a free for all, could do with a rethink. The pool and sun area is relaxing! We liked our room even though a few residents said theirs were too minimalistic and a bit IKEAish! We enjoyed our stay and the relaxing evenings suited us. Thanks to all the staff.

This was our 2nd stay at this hotel, we stayed last August and we loved it so we returned. However there was one big difference. This is a lovely hotel with friendly hardworking staff and it is spotlessly clean. It is a very simple hotel with nothing to do, so if you want activities that it's not the place. It has a nice pool, plenty of sunbeds and a decent gym(but hot).we had bed and breakfast and the breakfast was as good as it gets with absolutely everything you could want. We didn't have evening meal but by all accounts that is always nice. The hotel consists of 2 blocks one is the main building the other across the road, we asked for the main but got over the road. It's not a massive issue but a bit of a pain. The rooms are neat and tidy however there is loads of storage, we had 12 hangers ,2 draws and a shelf so pack hangers. The pool area is spotless with plenty of beds that overlook the sea. People do save the beds but if you don't want to you will still get one. Now for the difference. Last year the evening entertainment at the hotel was as good as I've seen on holiday, but this year it's gone. The stage area has been turned into a beach club which in my and most guests I spoke to doesn't work or fit. It never seemed busy and it's Cala Bona not ibiza it's a different client. But it's up to them, but from what I gathered from talking a lot of people came for the entertainment and probably won't come back. But if you've not been before and you want a chilled out holiday close to Cala Bona harbour then go to this hotel

Just returned from a ten day stay at Hotel Atolon. It didn't disappoint what a fabulous hotel, well located on the beach front. Beautiful pool and lounger area which we enjoyed. The breakfast choice was amazing such an array with freshly made omelettes, fruit, full cooked breakfast etc. Dinner was wow! Every evening a choice of al la carte meals - one evening there was delicious fresh sushi and every night had a different theme. All delicious with amazing staff and chefs. The rooms are good with memory foam mattresses which are really comfy. The cleaning staff will turn your room over daily and do a great job. Friendly and welcoming staff all round. Only one small niggle which was sorted on the second day with a drain smell in the bathroom. Will defo be going again soon ️️️️️ PS there is a Beach Club attached to the hotel which residents can access for €55 (for two) which includes beautiful lounger beds and your drinks and food for the day. The reception didn't tell us this so don't miss out.

Good selection of food BUT a few times the buffet breakfast was cold and also the meals at dinner! Needs to be kept hot. Aircon not powerful enough to cool the room. They turned all outside lights off at midnight ..not nice. Very clean hotel however. Plenty of sunbeds. Iovely pool. Good gym in basement Staff wonderful. Fantastic sea view!

First views of the Hotel were encouraging with it's lovely sea view frontage and pool overlooking the sea. However the rooms were extremely disappointing. Apart from being extremely small with a lack of storage, there wasn't a scrap of colour in the room. Pretty soul - less and boring but spotlessly clean. As requested by email, there was a kettle and two cups in the room. A lot of things stayed in the case as there was nowhere to put things and the hanging space was small and not long enough for a dress. There was one bedside table with drawers and one small table the other side - why no drawers? But there was a safe in the room which was free. Also the rooms overlooking the side street opposite the hotel had all the comings and goings of deliveries and buses throughout the day usually starting about 6.00am or before, ending with the rubbish collection anywhere between 11.00pm and 2.00am in the morning. The food in the restaurant was very good. Not always hot, unless you queued for a freshly cooked meal, but lots of choice and varied. However, there were a lot of queues - the hotel was obviously full - and the food display was badly organised, often resulting in one queue getting in the way of another! Quite often the staff were disgruntled when they were asked for more plates, bowls, cups etc which kept running out. The swimming pool overlooking the sea was a fabulous setting and loungers were plentiful as long as you didn't want the front row. Towels were available for a refundable deposit. But the base beat of the all day long music could be heard all the way to the rooms on the other side of the walkway. There was also a lack of comfortable seating inside the hotel when the weather was windy or cooler, compared to the amount of people in the hotel and nowhere to sit in the bedrooms other than the bed and a high backed chair. No entertainment in the hotel at all. The reception staff were all helpful and very pleasant, however I wouldn't go back to this hotel.

Great staff, great location, near to everything, plenty of Sun Loungers, delightful food. Absolutely a brilliant hotel to stay in, everywhere was spotlessly clean. Great TV package also...... Everyone was pleasant and professional We'll be back

The hotel is well positioned for both Cala Bona and Cala Millor and is handy for numerous bars and restaurants. Stayed in the main block and definitely recommend the sea view rooms for stunning views and sunrises. Rooms are clean and minimalist. The quality of the food is top notch, with show cooking and chef’s tasty recommended plates at dinner. Such a change from boring buffet food. Thanks to Augustine, the chef brothers and their staff for the amazing food. As others have suggested, the restaurant can be a little tight on space at peak times and I felt that tweaks to the food layout could help. No rush for sun beds around the pool; there were plenty. There was also the option of using the premium sun beds at the hotel’s Kaafu beach club during the day at a supplement. The charge gave a large credit against food and drink purchases. There was no additional charge to use the comfy chairs and tables at the beach club. Thanks to Tony, Santino and their colleagues for friendly and efficient service that you don’t get elsewhere. Some guests were concerned about the loss of entertainment at this hotel, but it depends what your priorities are. It was lovely to sit in the beach club in the evening, enjoying the background music and the sound of the waves. If you want a relaxing holiday with great food and fantastic views, this hotel is for you.

As we are on our last day by the pool I am writing my review of a disappointing stay at the Atolon. On the plus side we had a frontal seaview room with wonderful views across the pool area and out to sea. The room was small with little hanging space and just a few shelves and 2 small drawers. We had a good fridge, safe, air conditioning and kettle. The beds were very comfortable and the bathroom had a walk in shower. The balcony had 2 chairs and a table and a wall mounted clothes dryer and of course the beautiful view. Sun rises in front of the hotel but has moved away from the balcony by lunchtime. The room was beautifully maintained by the lovely cleaning ladies The pool area was well laid out and well maintained with a lifeguard there until 6pm. Plenty of beds so no need to rush. On the minus side the eating area was very disappointing, reminded me of school dinners, a lot of noise and banging of plates, the area was too small to accommodate the number of guests with queues for food and not a relaxing time. I found the selection poor for a 4* hotel. The new Beach Club has replaced what I believe was a good entertainment area in the past. In our 11 nights here it was virtually empty day and night, I don't know who thought that Cala Bona was a Beach Club catchment area. Because of this we had to leave the hotel every evening and spend our money elsewhere. There is no bar area so if you bought a drink in the hotel the only seating area was reception! As there is music in the Beach Club from morning until after 11pm the frontal room balconies at that side can hear this boom, boom, boom beat all the time. A note to management your info on the Beach Club says come and watch the sun go down, you would have a hard job as it goes down behind the hotel and it's not open for sunrise which is beautiful. As others have said all the staff we met were very nice but because of the food, eating area and new Beach Club we would not return.

Returned here in September, and we weren’t disappointed. Changes this year, was the entertainment on an evening has stopped, which didn’t bother us. That area has now been turned in to cabanas which you can pay to use. Not our thing, however, the bar area is lovely to have an afternoon drink, so not a negative to us. Meals are excellent and well above what you would get on Half board as an average. Lots of choice, either from the hot plate or cooked to order. I’ve seen some negative feedback on this, but if you go to any restaurant, you have to wait for your food…. Don’t you? The choices available here are outstanding in my view. The staff are an asset and each and every one we came across were pleasant and polite. We travelled with my elderly father and were allocated rooms on separate floors. We asked to change to be on the same floor, just to make life easier for us. There was no problem in accommodating our request and the move was made within 48 hours of our arrival, which we were very grateful for. All in all we had another fabulous holiday here and hope to return next year.
