Cala dell'Arena in Macari

Amazing hidden gem with great proximity to beaches, lovely breakfast, and sweet accommodating staff.

Really lovely place to stay in very beautiful setting. Whilst there is a breakfast offering there is no restaurant and there are limited grocery stores and restaurants in the immediate vicinity so a car is essential for longer stays. There is a Kitchenette for self-catering. If you are looking for a quiet place in a stunning setting - cannot be beaten.

We visited as a family of adults, a little under the weather. The staff were accommodating as we arrived before siesta and were happy to check us in (providing if there before 1). We had both the self-catering apartment and a double room with balcony. The facilities are basic but what you need. The public areas are well looked after, with a beautiful pool area. There is laundry facility for a small fee (€5) and if included in your room type, breakfast. Breakfast was well presented, and varied, fresh and staff very attentive. The staff are super helpful, in advising where to go for doctors, pharmacies and the local attractions. There is a short drive to San Vito Da Capo, which was full of life and excitement in the evenings if seeking that. A very pretty little town. For improvement: in the apartment, you could not plug two things in at the same time or trip the fuses. The wifi was not accessible in the apartment.

Amazing

Beautiful surroundings but the rooms are massively outdated with non functional ACs and broken furnitures

The place is really beautiful and the location incredible.
The apartments are nice, and you have a kitchen equipped in case you want to cook for yourself.
The staff are nice, but we had to pay extra the water/gas + cleaning services.

This is a gorgeous property. However, it has no eating amenities other than breakfast, which was very good. No railing on pool stairs. But it was worth it!

You need to rent a car in order to move around the area.
Beach is about a mile away across from the hotel

This property is beautiful. A must stay if you are in the area.

It is lovely and quiet. BUT there is no shops no restaurants near by and unable to reach them without a car or taxi. Taxi costs €30 to the nearest shops. Taxi from and to the airport €220ish. Plus they charge for electricity, gas and water, and a final clean of the property all which are not optional. The water is also salty water so won’t advise a hair wash or to use it to even brush your teeth. It’s lovely view to the sea but that’s about it the positive. Me personally would not go back. Can find a better place where is no hidden extra costs and can have food near by..
