The Club Martha's Aparthotel is a mid-range, all-apartment complex in the peaceful and laid-back Cala Egos neighborhood of Cala D'Or. It's one of the larger resort-style properties, with 279 apartments set in extensive and well-tended grounds. All units are plain and have kitchenettes, lounge areas, and spacious and sunny terraces, some featuring loungers and sea views. The set up is particularly family-friendly, with a supervised kids' club and entertainment, though a fee for sports facilities feels stingy and the pool area doesn't have enough sunbeds. Optional all-inclusive plans here are more limited than most, and food could be better. As an alternative, the cheaper -- though less polished -- Gavimar La Mirada Club Resort is closer to the beach and has a better all-inclusive plan, but offers fewer facilities.

The Gavimar Cala Gran Hotel is a lively two-and-a-half-pearl property spread around extensive -- sometimes confusing -- grounds in the center of Cala D'Or. Its right next to the main beach and a short stroll from dining and nightlife. While some rooms and apartments have sea views, all are dated, and Wi-Fi and safes incur an extra charge. The popular all-inclusive option covers all meals, snacks, and most drinks, and there are four pools including kids and quiet options, though cleanliness can be an issue. All in all, this hotel has some flaws, though still manages to pull repeat guests and families in droves -- in fact, the pools can be downright busy. Alternatively, travelers without kids should consider the adult-only Sentido Tucan -- it's far more modern.

For adults seeking a quiet, luxurious vacation in a mature setting, the 43-room Melia Cala D'Or is a solid boutique option. Known for personalized service, this property has flower-filled private garden areas filled with sun loungers and a big, pretty beach. Rooms are spread across several white cottages with their own private garden areas; they are simply decorated with terra-cotta tile floors, flat-screen TVs, and balconies or patios. There are a fitness room, playground, spa, and lovely outdoor pool all on-site. For a boutique experience in a more exclusive part of the island, the Fontsanta Hotel and Spa, with its own thermal springs, is worth considering.

With 99 apartments and 52 studios, Sol Cala d'Or Apartamentos is a solid, three-pearl all-inclusive option. It offers some of the most pleasant rooms of the properties in its category, and for self-catering guests, the impressively contemporary and well-stocked kitchenettes in each of the apartments are definitely a perk. Rooms have spacious balconies and there is a big, striking pool (though the fight for loungers begins early in the morning). With more thoughtful local flourishes than its competitors and an equally complete range of amenities, it offers better value than its sister property on the island, The Sol Alcúdia Center Apartments.

The all-inclusive Roc Suites Las Rocas is set in the quiet Es Forti neighborhood on Majorca's Cala D'Or coast. The hotel's 205 suites are dated, but the stunning views are the main draw -- widespread panoramas of the Mediterranean sea and rocky coastline. The hotel mainly caters to French guests, with activities, entertainment, and the kids' club only in French, which some guests complain about. Limited on-site dining and few nearby restaurants might be a turnoff for some; for a similar all-inclusive that's closer to local dining options, check out the Gavimar La Mirada Club Resort, though it has only one pool.

Apartamentos Ses Cases d'Or is a three-pearl, low-rise aparthotel located in Majorca's relaxed Cala Egos neighborhood within walking distance of its sandy coves. Guests have access to a wide selection of facilities at this all-inclusive property, with ample dining and leisure options and plenty for kids to do. There's also the bonus of its own semi-secluded pool terrace, although sunbeds can be in short supply during peak season. The 44 apartments are basic and have IKEA-style furniture, with functional kitchenettes that are tidy but dated. All have outdoor space, though visitors expecting sea views will be disappointed. For apartment accommodation overlooking the water, check out the Aparthotel Roc Las Rocas, which also features direct access to lovely natural pool.
