Yup we were there from 2005 to 2009. We visited Club de Mar from Denia in Oct 2005 just for half term week and didnt leave until 4 yrs later. For me it is a great place to base a boat. It is only 15mins from Palma airport by car or taxi and most of the quays are wide enough to get a car close to your berth so no hauling luggage for miles. It is quite a large marina so this is just as well. Facilities on site when we left in 2009 included a small supermarket, chandlery, bar, night club, clubhouse, restaurant and swimming pool. No small kids allowed in the pool. Rumour has it that the King of Spain used to moor his boat in Club de Mar but flounced off in a huff when his kids were refused entry to the pool. No love lost between the Catalans and the Madridistas. The attractive city of Palma of course is right on your doorstep with the old town and its restaurants/bars about 20mins walk. Downsides are occasional swell from harbour traffic although not as bad as the marinas further east and bad sterngear fouling. I used to have my sterngear cleaned by a diver 3/4 times a year. The other potential downside, although it didnt bother us, was the marina's proximity to the busy Paseo Maritimo road running along the shore

In terms of cruising there 2 good anchorages within 10mins run at Illetes, 30mins to Portals Vells or you can go further afield west or east and have a choice of anchorages in less than an hour at planing speed. Palma bay is well sheltered from winds from all directions except S and the N mistral wind which often affects Menorca and N Majorca is usually much weaker on the S coast of Majorca

I was there for 2 years. I like it. Adults pool, kids club ( free) etc. I never heard the road but was on the other side of the marina.

Big plus is that it is 10 mins form the airport in a E15 cab so it save the fas of car hire and the 1 hour trip to Cala Dor.

It is also year round and a 5 min c ab ride to the old town. I am a fan

Nicely summed up.

We were there enquiring a couple of weeks ago, and although busy, we were told that they could probably find room for a 12-14m boat for 2017. We also went to RCNP (Royal Club Nautico de Palma) just further along towards Palma, and they could find some space as long as you avoided the 27th April - 10th May for the Palmavela regatta. My preference was RCNP though, just seemed a little more friendlier and laid back. I mentioned previously that Cala Nova had space, although a little further out, it looks like it will be a great marina when finished, and had some of the best deals.
