Great beach, family friendly for young children, good pool, but need transport and strains in summer
Nice modern and clean villa for 6 on (mostly) beautiful bay with good kitchen, aircon, balcony, TV with wide range of freeview type channels. Nearly all UK families during our July 2013 visit having expected it to be a bit more international. Friendly and helpful reception and cleaning staff but pool rules rather strict as only limited number of loungers when busy! The beach is fantastic - not huge but very nearby, sandy and not too busy + offers great snorkelling and shallow waters for the kids. The circular bay itself is very nice save for one particular concrete monstrosity of a hotel on the other side of the bay!
BUT beware in high season the local electricity grid cut out during 2 of our 11 evenings - due to local overload we presume. Not great if mid meal preparation! If sleeping 6 the sofa bed downstairs gets a bit much for adults after a few days, though it isn't bad, as sofa beds go. Fab beach just a few mins walk past the excellent (though not large) infinity pool. Beware the pool had to be closed during 2 out of 11 days we stayed due to stray toddler poos requiring a reflush. Not a great deal of entertainment laid on at the pool for kids if that's your thing so don't expect too much that way though there are occasional bits and pieces.
Small supermarkets not far away but have to climb steep steps or longer walk round. Local restaurants and bars surprisingly quiet on late July evenings as people economise and stay in resorts or self cater. Eating out often rather expensive for quality of food provided. Goody Goody bar on bay has good childrens' play area including bouncy castle and 2 big trampolines for 3 Euros/child/day. Sa Paella restaurant on the sea front has a reasonable menu and great location but again not cheap but great, friendly service. Alas the same could not be said of Whites Bar in White Sands resort itself which we found to be ok food wise but overpriced for what was provided and the service often disappointingly poor. I fear they're used to a fairly steady stream when people can't face a drive/walk elsewhere and it shows :( As a consequence it often wasn't that busy except at peak times.
To get anywhere else on the island you either walk up the hill to the occasional buses to Mahon, Fornells or Es Mercadel or you need to hire a vehicle. Best deals seemed to be through reception rather than nearby outlets. Oh, there is a local road train mornings and evenings but no timetable and it only runs around the Arenal d'en Castell area for 6 Euros per person return. Didn't seem worth it.
Recommend the big (but not too big) Aqua Park outside Ciutedella in the north of the island but you really have to hire a car to get there or arrange shortened bus excursion through resort. The old centre of Ciutedella itself is well worth visiting and stay for the evening if you can (need car) to enjoy the atmosphere and peruse the many stalls. It's reasonably straightforward to take the bus at 2.50 Euros per person one way to Mahon and explore the harbours. The yellow boat trips aren't too expensive and give a great feel for the sights and history of the place.
Overall it is very good for families with young children who don't want a kids club and have own transport or are happy to stay put and mostly self cater. The beaches are a highlight and the accommodation itself is very reasonably priced.

Thank you very much for your nice review. Hope to see you soon with us.
Cons:Ja, Internetanbindung gratis zur Verfügung stellen
Location:Cami de Cavalls ist wunderschön, der Naturpark Albufeira besuchen, Fornells besichtigen und feinen Fisch essen
Aufenthalt Ende Febr/März 2017, das Hotel war wenig besetzt, daher sehr sehr ruhig. Das Hotelpersonal sehr freundlich, zuvorkommend und hilfsbereit. Das Studio sehr sauber, zweckmässig eingerichtet, alles hat funktioniert.
Als Alleinreisende mit Koffer (15 kg) ist der Zugang zu den Zimmern schwierig, da das Hotel viele Stufen hat, keinen Lift, und zum Teil enge Treppen.
Das grösste Aergernis die extrem teure Internetanbindung (€5.95 für 24 Stunden!). Hab dies auch bei beiden Empfangsdamen deponiert, anscheinend ist der Provider so teuer. Kann kaum glauben, da ich zur selben Zeit an der Westküste 6 Tage in einem Hotel verbracht habe, wo W-LAN gratis war.

Amabilité du personnel /réception et nettoyage . Endroit non compatible avec personnes à mobilité réduite /escalier partout .
Problème de fermeture des volets / entretien

Ook fijn in de herfstvakantie
Hoewel het hoogseizoen op het eiland voorbij is, troffen we het met het weer en hebben we ook in oktober nog aan het strand gelegen en in de zee gezwommen. De ligging van de accommodatie is echt schitterend. De kamer is ruim en bevat een ingerichte keuken! Het personeel is vriendelijk en behulpzaam. Zonder eigen vervoer is er met de bus goed over het eiland te reizen. Stel jezelf echter vooraf, bv via de receptie, goed op de hoogte welke haltes/faciliteiten/restaurants/winkels er nog geopend zijn.

Detail dans l'équipement
Les chambres et la suisine sont très bien équipées, il ne manque rien, il ya des détails que l'on ne trouve pas dans tous les hôtels comme le produit vaisselle ou le papier essuie-tout entre autres...
