Top Hotels Near Cala Barril in Mercadal from NZ$98

"We have just returned from a 10 night stay. We struggled to find the apartment initially. It is almost opposite the signs for La Franola tapas bar, which is in the complex across the road. Parking in the spaces opposite was never a problem, there is on road parking there, and further along below the pool too. The whole area is quite hilly, but very peaceful and picturesque. The beach is about a 10 minute walk away, we found it unusual not to be able to get a drink or the loo whilst there though. One nearby restaurant opens from 1pm ish. Nearby complex facilities are for residents only. The supermarket is in the same area. The apartment itself is very cosy, very clean, and with everything you need. The WiFi is fast. The outside terrace is lovely with a sea view. The skies at night can be beautiful. Michael the owner was very attentive and returned messages immediately (I messed up my vrbo account! which caused several issues). He does prefer you to translate them to German via an app or Google Translate. We would highly recommend staying. The only negatives for us were the pillows were flat & lumpy, and the kettle could do with replacing. "

"They just opened! We recognize that. The staff has some kinks to work out, they failed at our breakfast orders multiple times, and I still feel like they are finding their rhythm but overall it’s a beautiful lovely place. It’s quite remote which we didn’t realize but absolutely gorgeous when you get out there. Recommend their house drink and the gym. Dare I say prettiest gym view on the planet? "

"Un séjour reposant et très agréable "

"HUGE recommendation for this villa! We are a family of 7; two adults and 5 teenagers and there was ample space for us all. The pool is a great size, the bedrooms in the villa are all a good size, the kitchen is well-equipped, the lounge is big and there were enough bathrooms for all of us. Ellie, who looks after the villa, was so friendly and helpful. The villa is in a great spot, close to supermarkets and restaurants. The resort is quiet which worked perfectly for us. You can walk to the beach (not the prettiest but good to hire pedallos and SUPs) and also rocky coves for snorkelling. Because it is a tourist resort, the supermarket is pretty pricey so if you are hiring a car, shop in the bigger towns. No need to bring floaties, the supermarket sell loads and they are weirdly cheap!The villa doesn't have aircon and the weather was up to 34 degrees during our holiday. But it really didn't bother us......you can jump in the pool at 1am if you are feeling warm!We would thoroughly recommend the villa - we really had a fantastic stay! "
