FERGUS Style Cala Blanca Suites

Just back from a 5-night stay at Fergus Cala Blanca. To be honest, we tried to check out after 2 nights, but since we would have had to pay for the full stay anyway, we decided to stick it out. We booked the Presidential Suite for 2 adults and 3 teenagers, and I have to say, the room itself was fantastic. Loads of space, and the balcony was amazing. Not outdated as I had read about rooms in other reviews. But please, take the feedback about the pool area seriously. In all my years of travel, I’ve never experienced anything like it. I was waking up at 7am each morning and looking out from our balcony, only to see nearly every sunbed already “reserved” with towels. Maybe one or two beds were left, if that. There are very few umbrellas, so unless you're lucky, there’s almost no shade. And even if you did manage to get a bed, they are crammed in so tightly that all the beds are touching and you're basically lying right next other guests. Some beds are tucked awkwardly down the side of walls just to squeeze more in. The entire pool area is far too small for the number of guests staying at the hotel. Honestly, it was such a letdown. We couldn’t spend any time at the pool because of 1) the lack of available beds and 2) how overcrowded and uncomfortable it felt. It was the opposite of relaxing. The food was fine, something for everyone, and the staff were lovely...especially the lady who cleaned our room each day. It’s a real shame, because the hotel has potential. But unfortunately, I couldn’t recommend it, purely because of how poor the pool setup is.
