Villa Sa Coma, Sa Coma

Advantages: sea, sun, chillout factor
Disadvantages: Brits, Germans, over commercialisation

...Sa Coma has been described in the AA Guide as the ugliest resort in Mallorca. Well yes, it is a typical "Majorca" holiday destination - monolithic hotel and apartment blocks surrounding a beautiful sandy but very overcrowded beach (even in October). But Mallorca is an island with contrasts from beautiful to ugly, and what you get is what you look for. Sa Coma is situated on the east coast, about an hour from the airport. It is in fact sandwiched between S'Illot and Cala Millor, both of which are equally heavily developed. But it provided us with an excellent family destination - helped by the fact that our apartment (in Playsol Apartment block) was one of the better looking buildings overlooking the beach, situated just a couple of hundred yards from it, and shops bars and restaurants all around us. The resort itself is so full... Read review

...A fantastic family orientated hotel that actually welcomes children!! I have stayed in this hotel on 3 occasions and was very disappointed when Thomson Holidays decided to withdraw the hotel from the Skytours programme and add it to the Thomson Family programme.

A bus and land train run between the resorts of Cala Bona, Cala Millor & Sa Coma picking up tourists to go to the Auto Safari. We were aware of the auto safari from previous visits and decided this year our children were old enough to enjoy a visit and hopped on a bus one morning. I wish we had not bothered! At the safari entrance we off loaded from the bus onto a land train and set off - the actual safari part is okay - altho' barren there is lots of room for animals to roam. Our only concern during this part was the mindless idiots who had come prepared for the monkey area and lobbed bread rolls and bananas off the 'train' - the result was a handful of monkeys launching themselves onto the 'train' and several ;terrified...
