Upon arrival at the Cali Resort, we received a very warm welcome along with a complimentary drink. Check-in was quick and efficient, with our luggage taken directly to our room. As we arrived late in the evening, a light refreshment, sandwiches and drinks had been thoughtfully provided in the room. Our goal for this holiday was to enjoy a quiet and relaxing break, and the resort certainly delivered. The hotel is modern, well-maintained, and beautifully presented. The food was excellent, with two dining options available. The main buffet restaurant offered three meals a day, each with a different theme in the evening. One night, we chose to dine at the Japanese-themed à la carte restaurant, which featured an impressive 8-course tasting menu. In addition, snacks were available at set times from the pool bar. The overall selection of food was varied and of consistently high quality. The Cali is an adults-only hotel, and as we stayed in late April, it wasn’t very busy—something that contributed to the peaceful and relaxing atmosphere. The hotel was maintained to a high standard of cleanliness, and the pool area featured a generously sized outdoor pool with plenty of comfortable sun loungers. Its location was also ideal, with the beach, bars, and shops just a short walk away. Finally, a word on the staff, everyone we encountered was exceptionally friendly and attentive throughout our stay. Special thanks to Alona, our bar waitress most evenings, and Sherpa in the restaurant, both of whom made our experience even more enjoyable. I would highly recommend the Cali Resort and, in fact, have already booked to return in April 2026, a true endorsement, as we rarely visit the same hotel twice. A big thank you to everyone at the Cali Resort. We look forward to seeing you again next year!
