Ilusion Moreyo

We've travelled to Cala Bona on a number of occasions and enjoy the resort. Previously we stayed at the Lavante Hotel no more than 50 yards away but because this hotel has become more expensive, we decided to give the Illusion Moreyo a try. Our first issue (nothing to do with the hotel) was the queue at the airport for the allocation of transfer buses to the resort. Never have we encountered this type of system and to be honest, it was pretty shambolic, people coming through from the previous queues for passport control, baggage and various other waits then waiting to be allocated a bus. The hotel is located in a great spot just outside the harbour and is overlooking the sea on the other side. We were met by friendly staff and allocated our room quickly and efficiently. The room was pleasant and clean although the space could perhaps have been utilised in a better way, a dressing area was a good size but storage could have been incorporated into this space as storage space was quite limited. We had a nice balcony with a side sea view (extra) overlooking a modest sized pool. The dining room caused a number of comments as a substantial amount of dining area was outside, fine if the weather is sunny, but not big enough if the weather was cooler or inclement (which when we were there in May was an issue on several days). There was a nice selection of food both at breakfast and evening meal (we stayed on a half board basis) and we were never presented with a selection where we could not find ample food whatever the theme may have been. The restaurant staff were polite and efficient and were always busy. a couple of issues that were quite trivial but caused complaints from a number of guests was the lack of enough salt & pepper pots! this resulted in guests wondering around the dining area trying to find a condiment set, something that could have been remedied for very little cost and effort but seemed to remain a problem throughout our ten day stay. The outside dining area was very pleasant and on a warm day was a delight to sit in overlooking the sea. Another plus was a mezzanine sun deck which we used daily with sun beds and shades, very pleasant. Overall we had a nice stay here and I would recommend at least trying the hotel as it was a substantial saving on it's loftier neighbours and in a great location.
