"The Place" used to be the Ondina Mar Hotel and this we were told is its first season under new management. One of the big downsides of our stay was that we were some of the hotels first guests while some quite intrusive finishing-off work was being done and some important facilities were out of action. The hotel has a fresh modern feel to it and it has been finished to good standards. The room sizes are adequate although most rooms don't have a balcony, and views are of the street - that isn't the prettiest in Spain. The shower was excellent and room servicing was of the highest standards every day. There's a TV and tea and coffee facilities. Breakfasts were very good. They were continental/buffet style but eggs with ham, cheese bacon etc were cooked to order and were some of the nicest we've had. The other major downside was that we went half-board but found that evening meals were provided at 2 other restaurants and we were each given 20 euro vouchers to pay each evening - that was not at all a good arrangement! The hotel has a small roof pool, pool-bar and sun terrace Unfortunately the pool and bar weren't open and that was another big disappointment. The staff are all wonderfully helpful and friendly and, although the first languages are German and Spanish, we were easily understood and made to feel very welcome. Flowers and fizz were provided for my wife's birthday which was a lovely touch. Check before you book if the things I've mentioned as shortcomings are important to you. If we had been been aware of them beforehand we wouldn't have gone there. Cala Ratjada is a resort that is frequented mainly by Germans and very few British. I think the Germans have it right! The coast here is wonderful and the town is sufficiently lively to be interesting but not rowdy. The hotel is a few minutes walk from the harbour where there are lots of bars and restaurants and a pretty marina. Walk north along the coastal footpath and in 15 minutes you'll arrive at the bay of Cala Gat which is lovely but can get over-crowded due to its beauty.…
