| Sa Coma Travel Guide: Great Resort for families
| | Written by Tracey Burns on 22 May 2007 about a trip in May 2007.
Trip was for a family on holiday. Tracey Burns would definitely visit again.
| Sa Coma attractions |   7.0 | | take a trip to the Castle up on the headland for great views over Sa Coma and Cala Millor - it's only about 1.5 km and you can take a bike or pony ride up there |
Sa Coma shopping | 6.0 | | There are plenty of souvenir shops but also some good leather goods shops if you want to spend your holiday shopping |
Sa Coma nightlife | 9.0 | no problems here - felt safe with two kids in tow walking along the prom at night and through the streets back to the hotel
Britannia and Kings Head have entertainment such as Karaoke and Bingo but the staff don't speak good English
White Lion serves good meals and last year (2006) had a small beer garden with a pool table which my kids loved
Royal Oak serves huge portions (too big really) and the staff are British so it was easy to get them to change the menu a little to suit my kids
There is not much night life and we only saw one group of girls on a hen night - Cala Millor is close by and I believe it does offer more entertainment at night |
Sa Coma restaurants | 8.0 | | Cala Moreya is closer to S'Illot along the prom and serves wonderfully cooked fish meals |
Sa Coma day trips | | Take a glass bottom boat - regular trips go from Sa Coma to Cala Millor, Cala Bona and Porto Cristo (under 12s free)
Caves of Drach at Porto Cristo - get there by boat or bus. We would have preferred the non escorted tour as the show at the end is just music on an illuminated row boat but you are crammed in like sardines.
Grand Tour via Toscana - a couple of hours in Palma, train from Bunyola to Soller, boat from Soller to La Colobra, coach through mountains back to resort. A lot of time on the coach but beware no scheduled toilet stops. Not enough time in Palma to do much and would have preferred more time on the train. We were herded on and off the train with no time for photographs. We only had 10 minutes in Soller before getting on the boat which was the most unpleasant part of the trip - prices for a drink at La Colobra were very expensive but essential. The mountain pass is spectacular and a bit hair raising.
Marineland is worth a visit to see the Dolphin Show and the Parrots but not much to do otherwise as it is not a very big place. |
Getting to Sa Coma | 8.0 | | Plane to Palma Airport and about one hour on a coach to Sa Coma |
Getting around Sa Coma | | plenty of places to hire bikes and cars. boat takes you to Cala Millor, Cala Bona, Porto Cristo and other places down the East Coast if you want a relaxing day out. regular train between the resorts - you can now get a train from Manacor to Palma. plenty of bus stops |
When to visit Sa Coma | | We have only been to Sa Coma in the middle of May which is very early in the season so it is quieter. The weather both times has been lovely and warm (May 2006 and May 2007). Cala Millor is only 1km away and it is a larger resort with more shopping and nightlife. |

| Sa Coma: weather |
| 23 Oct 2009 by Marie Toyne |
im going to sa coma may 11th just wondered if any one has been there about that time and if the weather was warm enough for eg swimming and sunbathing thanks
>> Answer this question | | | | >> | Answer 1 by Tracey Burns (31 Jan)
We have been to Sa Coma twice in May and it has been pleasantly warm. It was nice enough to swim in the outdoor pool during the day and we did see some hardy souls in the sea. It was certainly nice enough to sit on the beach although it was a little breezy on our second stay. It did get up to 27 degrees celsius.

| Sa Coma: Beach Charges, Hotel Playa Dorada. |
| 13 Jul 2009 by Valerie Vaticano |
Hi,
Has anyone stayed at Playa Dorada Hotel in Sa Coma ? What are your views about it ? We are going there early September !
How much do they charge for Beach Sun Beds and Brollies ?
Did you take your own Sun Brolly from UK ? Did airline charge you ?
We are flying Thomsons (but independently booked).
>> Answer this question | | | | >> | Answer 1 by Michael Brown (31 Aug)
I stayed in Playa Dorada last July & am going back next week'
Sunbeds in hotel are free but you will have to get up early to reserve one.
Have not paid for a sun bed & brolly for 2 years on beach & cant honestly emember how much it was.
Apart from the beautiful beach es in Sa Coma & Sillot there is a small beach outside the Playa Dorada. Although not as nice as the above beaches it is convenient to take a drink from the hotel ( in throwaway glasses/cups) on to the beach.
Hope this helps somewhat

| Sa Coma: Sa Coma to Palma |
| 20 Apr 2009 by Shane O'Brien |
I want to go to Palma for the day from Sa coma. Is there a train service available?
>> Answer this question | | | | >> | Answer 1 by James Nightingale (06 May)
There are trains every hour from nearby Manacor to Palma. See http://www.balearics.com/destinationpdf/Trains.pdf for timetable. I am going to Sa Coma myself and have checked this out. It seems like there are about 9 buses a day to Manacor.
