The waiters /waitresses were fabulous and the pizza chefs was fab . The quiet areas to relax were perfect and I can’t fault the place . Thanks so much , I needed the break .

We spent a short October break at this hotel – 3 days/nights for two adults and found the hotel fine for the price point. First – manage expectations. As many other reviewers have stated, I cannot see how this hotel is a 4-star hotel, it’s a 3-star. However, it also comes at 3-star prices. We only paid £700 for 3 nights, including flights. At that price – its hard to find much to complain about! Hotel General & Location: It’s basic, most of the seating is plastic, and the dining area is more of a canteen. I cannot say that anything about the hotel was particularly luxury, but was functional and one of the cleanest hotels I have ever stayed in. Everywhere was spotless. The physical location of the hotel is stunning! I forgot how beautiful Majorca is and this is in a prime place to take advantage of that. Lots of coastal walks and beaches nearby. The nearby “resort” is a bit tacky, but some of the restaurants looked nice (would have tried one if we had stayed longer). Great / cheap bus service if you want to venture out. The lifts are slow and there’s only two – the hotel was only half full and it was a pain for us – although we were able to use the stairs, so something to consider if you are not as physically able. You have to pay a deposit for beach towels and have to pay 18eur to use the safe in your room – which seemed steep. Pool: Standard rectangle, not that big, surprisingly deep. Water clean. Not the most inspiring place to sit, but the views of the sea/cliffs are stunning. There was also an adults-only pool, but was pretty much deserted (but was October!) Room: Basic, but modern, clean, no complaints. Bed was hard, but weirdly I slept well. We had a sea view and a good sized balcony. Decent TV/channels. Good shower. Entertainment: We went in October, so assume it had ben wound down a bit for the off-season, but there was something going on every night, and activities around the pool (none of which were too intrusive and looked fun). Food: Ok, this is where it certainly felt 3-star, maybe even 2-star. It was acceptable at best. There wasn’t much choice, and although the hotel was only half full, it was busy and there were long queues for the buffet. Dinner time is only 2 hours, so it must be absolute carnage in August! The food overall was bland and can’t say I enjoyed any main meal/lunch. Breakfast decent enough though. The “restaurant” is more of a canteen, and there is only one dining option (never been to a 4-star hotel with such limited choice). That said, I will give them credit for putting on some limited food for those of us who arrived at 10pm. Also – unlike actual 4-star hotels, there is no waiter drinks service – you have to get up and get your own beer, coffee, wine, etc, Drinks: I personally thought the all-inclusive drinks menu was good. Local beer is good in Spain and the local spirits seemed decent. Wine was Ok too. Cocktails during the day came from a machine (but were OK). In the evening they were made for you.

Arrived at the hotel around lunchtime after approximately one hours coach transfer, the receptionist was very pleasant and welcoming. She took us through everything we needed to know but as our room wasn’t quite ready she directed us to the dining room where we had a nice lunch. The dining area is split in two, half indoors and the other half outside, very nice in hot weather. Once our room was ready we found it to be very clean, modern and comfortable, the only downside being the lack of any drawers to put clothes away, there were only 2 high shelves but there were about 10 clothes hangers in the wardrobe. The rooms are cleaned every day and fresh towels supplied. We had a beautiful sea view which I’d recommend, (it costs a little more) but if you’re at the other side of the hotel you face the road, bars and shops so noise may be a nuisance. The food in the restaurant is varied but mainly of the European variety but there is also an excellent pizza and pasta area, so no one can say they came away hungry. The staff there are very efficient at clearing tables etc and always with a pleasant greeting and a smile. The bar staff are also pleasant and it’s nice, when there are so many people in the hotel, that they remember which drinks you want. There are plenty of nice, comfortable, clean and unbroken sun beds around the main pool along with parasols. There is a VIP area for guests on the premium package but I didn’t feel that we missed out on anything by not choosing that option. There is also a lower area which is for guests who just want to relax and there are an additional 2 pools and a bar so plenty of space to relax and unwind, all with that gorgeous sea view. The entertainment team are excellent and it’s really not hard to get involved in the games they play and the aqua gym is the perfect way to cool down and get the muscles going at the same time! The whole team work very hard and are a bunch of very talented energetic individuals who not only work hard through the day but are great evening performers and entertainers too. Only one downside about the hotel are the lifts, there are only two in the main building and if you’re on the upper floors, unless you don’t mind using the stairs, you can find yourself waiting ages for one to arrive. We were sorry to leave the hotel and I would definitely consider going back in the future. Overall, my opinion is of a friendly, clean, spacious hotel that caters for everyone.

I have just come back from 4 nights with my daughter celebrating her 30th birthday. We cannot fault our trip and will definitely come back 😊the room was spotless the food was lovely and the location just perfect. I am already pricing up to return next year so cannot imagine why any negative reviews.

Found the hotel to be very clean & tidy. Staff all very helpful and the entertainment team worked so hard to make the holiday enjoyable. Plenty of choice in the dining room and again kept very clean. Would suggest maybe a chest of drawers in each room so there's somewhere to put underwear etc.
