My family's stay at the Tui Blue Cala Tarida was anticipated to be the epitome of all-inclusive luxury, yet it turned out to be remarkably different from our expectations. While Cala Tarida is positioned beautifully on the beachfront, offering stunning views and features impeccably clean rooms, the myriad of unexpected charges dampened our overall experience. The staff at Cala Tarida were consistently friendly and helpful, truly a highlight of our stay. The culinary offerings were plentiful with food available most of the day and fresh fruit always accessible during meals and snacks, which was a nice touch. However, the supposed all-inclusive package fell short of being inclusive. For example, we were charged €33 for stocking our room's mini-fridge with just 10 drinks. Additionally, using the indoor swimming pool in the spa cost €50 per adult, which was a significant unexpected expense. The hotel offers three special guest restaurants, yet disappointingly, only one was included without extra charges, and even then, it was limited to a single visit throughout our stay. Extra fees were also required for the use of both poolside cabanas and beach sunbeds, adding to our overall expenses. With the hotel catering to many families, it was surprising to find children's activities quite limited. The mini disco was not held every night, and when it did occur, it merely featured three reps dancing to children's songs for about 30 minutes—a stark contrast to the more engaging T-Bots entertainment found at other Tui resorts. The welcome session on our first full day, rather than being informative, turned out to be an extensive sales pitch for various chargeable excursions. For future travelers to Cala Tarida, I advise visiting the nearby Spar for more budget-friendly shopping compared to the conveniently located La Serina souvenir shop outside the hotel. If you have children and plan to visit the splash park, be sure to get there at opening time to secure a sunbed. Additionally, to make the most of the indoor heated pool, book your visit on the first day to enjoy a 20% discount, and consider purchasing three sessions for extra savings. In conclusion, although the setting and the staff at Cala Tarida were fantastic, the continuous additional costs for expected amenities considerably diminished the value of what was supposed to be an all-inclusive stay. Despite the hotel's appealing facade and wonderful staff, the extra outlays left us feeling that we did not receive the full 4/5* experience typically associated with Tui's offerings.
