“Lovely hotel”

From check In to after check out this was a lovely stay for me and my wife. Reception team very helpful and friendly. Room lovely and sea view amazing. Never been so close to the sea in a hotel room. Bar and restaurant reasonable that's part of the hotel. We didn't use the pool as we were on the beach every day. If you fancy a walk into palma it's a lovely walk about 9 miles to the basilica which I highly recommend. We were room only so can't comment on the breakfast. Check out standard is 12pm and they let us use their towels to shower in the wellness area later that day. Loungers on the beach are 6 euros a day. Hotel provide beach /pool towels and room towels. Room was spotless and cleaned daily. Free safe in room. Quite a German influenced area but that didn't bother us.

Me and my husband stayed here for a weeks holiday and thoroughly enjoyed it especially after reading some mixed reviews. The hotel is spotless and the staff very helpful, the pool area was really peaceful, just like sunbathing in a garden and always plenty of sunloungers. The area is largely German but as a British couple really enjoyed this and were always made to welcome in the bars. It’s a very busy resort especially on a weekend with the Euros onbut we didn’t see any trouble and never felt intimidated. A great variety of bars and restaurants and some great walks going either left or right from the hotel. We had a high floor sea view with amazing views but it was a little noisy on an evening but the hotel has great soundproofing! We had room only so can’t comment on the food, the only negative I’d say is we tried twice to get drinks on an evening on the comfy sofas but left as no one appeared to be serving, we also noticed a few tables were also waiting for service.

“Fair Hotel - Fierce Area”

Stayed 12-19 September 2024. AREA The negatives… If you are of German heritage, travelling in a large group (preferably male).

Stayed 12-19 September 2024. AREA The negatives… If you are of German heritage, travelling in a large group (preferably male). Have a fascination to dress yourself (or watch others) with provocative or ridiculous attire and accessories (no worries, if you didn’t bring it you can buy it on site). You love spending time on a very narrow and crowded beach, appreciating the company of other large loud groups an inch away. And you appreciate a fair competition with the other groups on who brought the loudest and best Bluetooth speaker. To fill the possible void between songs, you feel it’s always nice to hear several loud voices scream out different drinks for sale walking back and forth on the beach. If you are of the opinion that “hair of the dog” is not only a possibility but a birth right when on holiday, then this is your place. You will find many equals that you can crew up with all from 8 am and walk down the beach promenade with an ice cold (preferably German) beer in your hand. If you really don’t care at all about the Spanish culture or the cuisine, but rather just get a wurst, some ribs or a hamburger, and you prefer to be able to order them in your native German language? Then don’t think twice, back your bags and get down there! Be mindful though, this review concerns mid-September (I guess mid to low season). There is a high probability I experienced the light version of peak season. The positives.. Sorry, can’t find any. Twist my arm and the positive thing for us was the realisation that bus 25 towards Palma Town departs one block from the hotel and with only a 10mins ride for 2 eur each it would take you to the western parts of the beach offering a larger beach area and much much more peaceful. Aim for at least Balneari 11 and higher numbers. HOTEL The Negatives… The hotel holds very few negative aspects to be honest. The vicinity of the shower in literary middle of the room (all though thankfully with frosted glass) as well as toilet with just a glass door (same thankful remark on the frosted glass) is a bit odd and does not provide for much privacy. Further, there is some kind of “system” to manage the beach towels which can only make sense to the hotel itself. We were informed upon check-in that towels could (somehow) be exchanged with the cleaning staff “from 9:30 am”. In practise this meant my spouse went on a “cleaning lady hunt” every morning after breakfast, scanning the floors for a cart with fresh beach towels. A bit odd. Understanding also well that most of the guests are German, I still find it both weird and somewhat rude to be morning greeted by the breakfast staff in German, asking for our room number in German. I don’t speak German. A phrase that to be repeated until the end of the week. And unless they wish to scare away the small diversity of guests that actually existed, it would be advisable to refrain from such behaviour. It really made you feel like the odd one out. In a way guess we were, but this is not what I would expect from a hotel in any country outside of Germany. The Positives… Despite the negative remarks made, the general perception of the hotel is positive. The rooms were decent, cleaning made regular and to good quality. The room with a sea view of course very nice. We were actually not bothered too much with noise coming from the street or adjacent neighbouring balconies. Either we were just lucky (being a tad out of season), we slept well, or the AC simply drowned a lot of it. Public areas, including toilets of the hotel maintained very well and clean. The pool area was nice, and a welcoming calm oasis having come from the (beach)front of the hotel. The breakfast was a positive surprise, and the spread had all but everything one would expect from a higher than mid-rated hotel. I’ve read some reviews that the front-desk were disengaged and even rude on occasion. I do not agree as I found them both friendly, welcoming, and service minded. RESTAURANT/BAR The negatives… My impression is that the hotel strives to be of a higher class. With the vicinity to the beach and the general clientele it would be then advisable to possibly enforce at least a beach casual dress-code. More than once I witnessed people sitting bear breasted and in swimmers sipping their drinks. Can’t speak to the kitchen too much. We just had lunch once given it was raining that day. I ordered a chicken burger and my spouse the regular hamburger. A very colourless, dry, unpleasant and underwhelming experience for a 16 eur ask. The Positives… Wait staff generally very nice and service minded. Drinks well prepared and a nice touch was to bring a small tray of peanuts with every order. We ended up usually having a pre-drink at the hotel before going out to dinner. So if you’re a couple or family wishing for a pleasant holiday and have some great food and sunbathing. Look elsewhere. If you’re on a stag-due or a large crew looking for a party, but still to sleep decently in a decent hotel, this is your place.
