This was my second visit here. I go here solo for sun and relaxation and that's exactly what I get. I've been to Puerto Rico many times and stayed in a few different hotels as well as the Altair, one of the sister hotels, which is situated further up the hill closer to the commercial centre which is also very good but the Cala Nova is much better for the uncovered huge balcony and minimal noise from the main centre, spectacular views, sun from 11.30am until 7-8pm! I can't understand why they don't have sunbeds on the balconies as there is AMPLE room for them! Location is perfect for both the shops and the beach. Walk along the beach front to the right and you will find the ferry to take you to mogán (€13 return) as well as some steps up to the cliff walk to amadores beach (both a must to visit) If you struggle with walking up hills there is an abundance of taxis to take you back to your hotel which is a minimum charge of €3.95 and this covers your journey from the beach. It's easy to walk down though. I find the beds very firm and the pillows could be better but everyone has their preference. The staff in reception are very friendly as are the cleaning staff also. The rooms are spotlessly clean and have everything you need for basic self catering and there's a shop at reception but very expensive, over €5 for a loaf of bread. There's a good Spar opposite the Mogan shopping centre (better shopping experience and some fantastic restaurants on the top floor) to stock up If need to. Although I didn't use the pool it's small with plenty of sunbeds which people do the ritual of laying down their towels, entertaining to watch. I'll be visiting again this year as this is now my happy place. See you soon Cala Nova and hopefully you will consider sunbeds on the balconies in the near future 🌞 thanks for a lovely holiday.
