WE HAD THE BEST TIME AT JOSE MARIA'S APARTMENT!!! Everything about our stay was so easy and problem free.
Jose Maria was really quick to reply every time to my messages, she was very attentive and so helpful. We didn't meet her but I felt like I did! She was very friendly and helped to make our stay really enjoyable.
Her apartment was really easy to find, it was exactly as described and was a good location within the town of Cala en Porter whilst also feeling secluded and quite private. It has everything you need for cooking meals and is a 1 minute walk across the road to two supermarkets which have everything you need. The apartment is very comfortable and very clean. It is within a complex which seemed to be a mix of privately owned and partly rented out like a hotel. We didn't spend anytime in the pool/bar area but I believe that you can, if you buy drinks or food.
There are a number of restaurants within the town, a mixture of different types of food, don't expect fine dining but you can find a few nice places, El Palpo was good for Spanish cuisine. There isn't much in the way of nightlife (in late September) but we did catch a tribute show which was... entertaining! One evening we went to Cova d'en Xoroi which is stunning. It is a bar and evening club (from 11;30pm) that is carved into the cliff face. THIS IS A MUST! For sunset cocktails and music. It is also open during the day if you just want to take in the views.
There are plenty of taxis and a bus that takes you into Mao (Mahon) the capital which is great for an afternoon/evening.
During the day, the local beach is a 10 minute walk (down some fairly steep cliff steps but perfectly safe) and is a beach within a cove beautiful. We spent most of our days there and one morning we hired kayaks for some sea kayaking which was great.
We had the best holiday. Thank you for having us and thank you for hosting us. We will definitely be back.
