“Great hotel in a convenient location”

Excellent hotel with lovely staff, especially at reception. The surroundings are aesthetic and the gym and spa are both great too. I had a head massage which was one of the best treatments I’ve had.

Excellent hotel with lovely staff, especially at reception. The surroundings are aesthetic and the gym and spa are both great too. I had a head massage which was one of the best treatments I’ve had. Room was clean and had a decent amount of space (we booked a garden room). Air con worked well, we had an issue with it one day but we reported it and it was quickly resolved. The breakfast had lots of options and decent quality, cava available there too. Breakfast is served by the pool overlooking the beach which we loved. We booked half board as it was a decent price to add it on, three restaurants available and all good quality. Rooftop bar area is great for sunset drinks and Palma is easy to access on the bus, though it does get busy. Drinks are probably priced averagely and similar to other bars in the area but not the cheapest compared to other hotels we’ve been to in Mallorca. The service around the pool for drinks is good, loved the pink sun loungers too! There aren’t any large supermarkets close by which means buying water etc is pricier than it might be otherwise. You could easily get a taxi or bus to one if you wanted to however. Overall we loved it and would definitely go back.

We have recently spent 7 night at Pure Salt Garonda and hope this will not be our last visit. We booked a garden view room and were give. Room 521 which was on the top floor and faced the rear of the hotel - we were really pleased as these rooms have very private balconies as all other balconies at front and side are adjacent to each other. The room was very spacious and clean, super comfortable beds and lovely bathroom with complimentary toiletries, hairdryer, robes and slippers. Breakfast was excellent - fresh juices, fruit and large continental section and also egg/omelette/pancake station cooked to order and some other cooked choices. Breakfast is served outside overlooking the beach, which was blissful in the morning. The pool is a good size and has disabled access available. The pool doesn’t open until 10 but towels were down pretty early if you wanted a sunbed that got the sun first. Please note that sun doesn’t hit the pool area until around 11.30 and probably takes to 1pm before all beds are in the sun - we tended to either go to the beach or do stuff in the morning and use the pool in the afternoon, beds weren’t always available and usual problem of towels sitting on beds all day and not getting used - hotel need to address this as guests who want to use the pool were missing out due to these practises. There is sunbeds and a splash pool in the rooftop bar - we used those a few times and preferred it as the sunbeds are actually in the water and have amazing views. We didn’t eat in the hotel at night but lots of nice restaurants nearby and we took the bus from behind the hotel Ito Palma in the evening where there are some lovely restaurants and not as busy as during the day. The only negative we had which was not the hotels fault, was a large group of women celebrating birthdays - they were extremely noisy shouting and swearing around the pool most days. We booked this hotel as it was a spa and adults only hotel which we thought would have a chilled atmosphere, this group spoiled that for most people as they were drinking and shouting at breakfast and all day at the pool but luckily were only there for the weekend. Maybe the hotel should consider restrictions around larger same sex parties… All ages and nationalities were staying at this hotel which we liked, ages ranged from elderly to those in their 20’s looking for a peaceful time. Look forward to our next stay soon.

When we arrived for our 3 day stay we were delighted to receive an upgrade to a junior suite. The view overlooking the front and sea was great. The suite was huge and clean with a lovely modern bathroom and big shower. Then we found the air con was not working so after reporting it the technician came but after repair it was still not effective. Breakfast was lovely with plenty of choice and lovely views. Pool area is small but the beach is just a few yards away. There is a sky bar which we visited twice. Both times we left without receiving service. 😳 Room service was good. Lots of bars and restaurants very close. If we could pick this hotel up and put it elsewhere we would visit again but the area was not for us. Hundreds of Germans gathered in this area and so if you are English you may wish to choose carefully….unless of course you have a good command of the German language. The hotel was really good. Just a shame it’s in this area.

3 night stay with my partner. I booked a junior suite with a high room hoping to get the highest floor, note you can't select your room if booking within 7 days so I was lucky to get top floor at short notice. We arrived late just after midnight. We were welcomed by a really nice man at reception who I apologise to as I forgot your name. He was telling us how his wife was from near to where we had just come from. He was very helpful explaining the hotel and welcoming us. First impressions of the room were really good. The pictures online actually make it appear smaller than it is. The balcony area is very large and is a fantastic space to have, complete with 2 sun loungers and 2 chairs. We had room 530 and this got sun from about 2pm. In daylight I got a better look at the room. It's clear these were once really nice rooms. There's a fair few signs of wear and tear now. Laminate flooring not matching up in places, water damage around the lights and a leak on the back of the shower area. Not major issues but if you're saying you're a luxury hotel they matter, especially for the price the hotel was (430 a night) Breakfast was probably my only real negative of my trip. The cooked breakfast options were very low quality. Cereals were quite stale with little choice. Also a small selection of fruit. I've stayed at lesser rated hotels that do breakfast a lot better so this is something I think the hotel could really improve on. The atmosphere though was really nice, I'd put a lot down to be adults only though. We visited the rooftop pool first. There's a bar up there with various seating and a few sun loungers. Not an awful lot of space and a very small "pool" it's only deep enough for your feet. If this was a plunge poole it would really help with the issues with the main pool. There's also a bar upstairs with service provided to where you are set up. The main pool doesn't get sun till almost 1pm. Sunbed wars was very much a thing here, towels down by half 6 despite signs saying this wouldn't happen. Those towels would sit there till 2pm. Really frustrating and the hotel should really prevent this by removing towels before 1000hrs when the pool opens. The pool itself is a decent enough size. The sunbeds are very close together though. You have to squeeze out of your one to avoid making contact with the person next to you. Sadly and at no real fault of the hotel, there was a very loud group of women that proceeded to shout and swear repeatedly during our time there. They were utterly relentless and it was very apparent everyone round the pool was getting annoyed with them. Ruined what probably would have been a tranquil experience relaxing. As I say, not the hotels fault but maybe consideration around large groups going to the hotel for stag/hen dos? There is an associated resteraunt below the hotel. Mikel and pinxto. I can't believe this is actually anything to do with the hotel. The difference in service was crazy. The hotel staff were always fantastic. When we ate at the resteraunt it was genuinely woeful. I won't go in to detail here as I'll do a review separately for that but please do save yourself the money and go elsewhere. Positives: Incredible view from the room Large balcony area Comfortable bed Good shower Friendly staff Bath by balcony very cool Lots of towels in room Negatives: Sunbed situation No kettle in room Damage to room Small pool on roof Overall this is clearly a lovely hotel. Most of the guests were german speaking and we were only one of a few english couples. The area itself is very german, almost all the bars and resteraunts cater for this. This isn't an issue at all, just incase you prefer a different scene. The hotel is around 25 minutes to palma on the bus, accessed just outside the hotel up the road. This is 2 euro per trip and cash only. Be careful getting back as it's very busy on the opposite route. Location wise this is a nice spot away from the city centre. I'd say it's more appropriate for younger people in their 20s rather than the older demographic.
