Cala san Vicenç is no place to holiday. We paid to be within walking distance of “quiet, beautiful beaches”, however when we arrived on these beaches the story and picture was totally different. Thanks to massive hotels being built right on both beaches, the place is a complete construction zone. We spent less than twenty minutes there. Massive cranes, angle grinders, hammering, drilling, cement mixers...the noise, dust and smell was unbearable on the beach. Whole walls knocked down and just left. Roads and paths closed. A holiday from hell for sure and I’m furious it wasn’t mentioned on the listing, we would have stayed elsewhere if we had known.
The house itself was musty and damp. It was absolutely freezing cold and we were under three fleece blankets and in jumpers and socks in bed but still cold. Winter would be unbearable. We didn’t like staying there for any length of tome because of it. Kitchen was grubby and tired and very basic. The bathrooms has mouldy tiles and the shower water ran cold after two quick showers every day; we were told no one else had mentioned this when we asked why so no further help given. There are solid concrete steps down to living room area that were a nightmare with our smallest and we constantly worried about her slipping up and down them. Overall not a great experience for us.
