It’s a 3 star no more no less. Room was clean but could have been cleaner. Food was fine - standard AI in Spain. I did feel on arrival that the woman on the desk could have smiled and been more helpful. What let’s this place down is the other guests making a noise at all times if the day and night - shouting in the echoing corridors at 3am and for what when on for hours. Also should have been dealt with by the hotel but wasn’t

Fantastic Family Holiday
We returned from the Ariel Chico yesterday after a fantastic 10 days. The hotel is exceptionally well run with all staff being attentive, friendly and hardworking. Our room was large and well equipped, also very clean. The hotel grounds are well kept and there is obviously a lot of pride that goes into the appearance of the hotel. Food was varied and of a good standard, there was always enough, with staff constantly replenishing any empty areas. I have not travelled all inclusive previously, but was very pleasantly surprised with how good the food was. My children were kept entertained at the Mini Club and at the mini disco. I would like to give a special mention to Fernanda, who my daughters loved and made their time, particularly in mini club, memorable and fun. I would absolutely recommend the Ariel Chico and would not hesitate to return in the future.

Visited for a quick 4 day break in the middle of may. The room and hotel was clean, If you ever wanted more fresh towels you could ask at the desk. The ladies on the front desk were super helpful and the best . Location was Great only a 2 min walk to the beach. And lots of Really nice restaurants a stones throw away . We spent a lot of time at the beach as the pool Didn’t open until 10am which is quite late and We like to sunbathe as soon as we are up. However bar staff near the pool were quite snappy, we hade all inclusive and the first time we went up for drinks the girl behind the bar demanded a euro each for the plastic glasses. I can hand on heart say I have never felt the need To steal branded plastic cups From any hotels I’ve ever stayed at. Naturally we gave her the money but she was quite rude. I had a medium reusable Starbucks drink cooler that I brought with me, I went to the bar to fill with a Soft drink and the same women then started shouting at me saying I wasn’t aloud which is ridiculous if I have paid for all inclusive I should be able to make and get any drink I want. And saves me having to get up every two Minutes as the plastic cups are something the borrowers would use as they are that small . Breakfast was the best meal of the day lots of choice and very fresh . Went went out every night for dinner so can’t give any insight on the evening meals.

Excellent value for money. Everywhere very clean and staff very helpful. We visited in April but unfortunately the pools were too cold to use - the pool at the sister hotel was heated which you can use but was small. The food was fine (fresh and hot) - there was always something me and my children could eat but did lack some variety. Location great - in walking distance of three beaches and all amenities.

Average, Good and bad points.
Very hard working/Helpful & friendly staff. Good Drinks on AI (including self serve soft drinks) Good entertainment 4 nice pools with no struggle for sunbeds. Good breakfast/Lunch Unfortunately our room was very outdated and would benefit from a bit of a touch up/refurb. We had broken plug sockets near the bed (not very safe imo) and old tired looking furniture. aircon only worked from 4pm to 2am so we woke up in the middle of every night sweating and uncomfortable. Evening meals were a bit of a let down. Not awful but the restaurant was very busy and dinnertime felt a bit frenzied/rushed and with fellow guests competing/pushing their way to food/tables/drinks it wasn't an enjoyable experience eating in the restaurant, food was ok if not a bit repetitive and I think could have been a bit better. We ended up eating out a few nights. Block we were in had no lift and a 2nd floor room with very steep steps. not a bad hotel overall and you get what you pay for as far as the meals are concerned. room was cleaned a few times during our stay and towels changed daily however on a couple of occasions we were given towels that were full of holes/rips or stained.

Room smelled damp, was dirty, wasn't cleaned once, towels were only changed once. Food bad and no choice. Dining room and food bit were too small for number of guests. Kept running out of food. Had an ant infestation but were told tough and that this happens in Majorca. I have been to Majorca many a time and have never had this problem. Told room would be sprayed and indeed it was.....with ant killer for outdoor use only. They left the. An for us to further spay it ourselves. Total health hazard. Entertainment was ok. Drinks bad. Save your money and go somewhere else as plenty of better cheap hotels of a much better standard for same money.

Dated, poor food, good location
I stayed for 3 nights and the first thing I would say is the staff at the hotel are lovely. They obviously work really hard but still have time to interact with children, which was nice to see. Our room was very dated but comfortable. I found it strange that the balconies had such low walls (a small child could climb on to the next balcony). You were basically sat with your neighbours which not everyone would want. The food was OK but I only tried a few dishes at breakfast and dinner (I bought lunch elsewhere). I've visited Cala D'or before and know how fantastic the restaurants are. If you only eat in the hotel, you are really missing out. I'm sure if guests are used to eating bland food or chicken nuggets/chips at home, they'll be quite happy with the food on offer. The snack bar was particularly disappointing; a tiny choice of food, no ice cream (that I could see), and flat soft drinks. The alcohol on offer as part of the all inclusive was equally disappointing. The "cocktails" come from a machine and were undrinkable. Even some of the spirits were terrible and we ended up leaving all our drinks. I'd be very upset if this was my hotel for a week and I was expecting to eat/drink here every day. Cala D'or is beautiful and I will certainly return but definitely not to this hotel.

Great overall holiday experience
Great place to stay if you want the ease of all inclusive but also 2 minutes from town with great restaurants,cocktail bars and a safe friendly buzz. Ariel Chico is also 3 minutes walk from Cala gran beach so a perfect all round place to stay. The staff are all very professional and most are friendly. The rooms are clean and comfortable. This year there was a new animation team that performed some execellent shows. Maxi-Teen club was not as good as last year but our 15 year old met some buddies from last year so he had a great time. The food in the restaurant is of a very good standard but can be repetitive as you should expect with an all inclusive and there are some very busy times so you may need to queue for 5 minutes at times. Allow enough extra money for a few nights out as well. We had a 1 bed apartment which was great in A block .good air con as well. Overall a great 10 days . One blip but not to do with hotel are a few barking dogs up to 12 midnight some nights so may affect young family's- I'm sure the reception would move you if this was an issue. Last comment is that after 25 years of summer holidays this is the only place we gone back to a second time and would return in future years well done Ariel Chico team
