Hotel Bella Playa & Spa Reviews

Beautiful clean hotel, four lovely clean pools, sauna, mini golf, tennis and indoor games. Food was buffet style to a very high standard. My room was superior double. Two queen sized beds and bed settee. Large bathrooms with bath and shower over. No tea making facilities but if you forget your kettle you can hire one. Just across the road from main beach and easy twenty minute walk into town. Town itself is lovely and has plenty of bars, restaurants, shops. Some nice walks in your doorstep. The resort mainly caters for older Germans. Very few English when we went. Don’t think the website reflects what a cracker this hotel is.

We were there mid-May, as part of a walking group. Both the hotel and the resort were fairly quiet, which wasn't a bad thing. We were in a 'standard' double room, with a balcony overlooking the pool - the room was clean, spacious and nicely furnished (comfortable beds and lots of coat-hangars!), air-conditioning and a small fridge A nice bathroom with a bath+shower. No tea-making facilities, however, so take your own kettle. The staff were very pleasant and spoke enough English (excellent English at Reception) although German is very much the second language here (third, if you distinguish between Mallorcian and Castillian Spanish ...). The restaurant provided a choice of indoor or outdoor dining, and there was a good choice of nicely prepared food at breakfast and dinner. The outdoor pools were unheated, which was okay in mid-May. The indoor pool in the spa area was heated - nice to relax in but not suitable for serious swimming. Didn't try the table-tennis or mini-golf, although others in our party did, and enjoyed them. The resort very much caters for German tourists, so if you are looking for authentic Majorca (does it exist any more?) or Spain then you may be disappointed. Would I be happy to go back to the Bella Playa? Yes.

I thought I should write a review as there weren't many when I was looking to book. I chose the Bella Playa because it was a reasonable price for our family of 5 on half board basis and it boasted an indoor heated pool, games room, tennis court and mini golf. Room: we have one normal double and one superior plus. The double is a bit run down, in particular the bathroom. It's in a separate building than our superior room. A good view of the pools from the balcony but half the building looks at the run down mini golf. Our superior double plus is very good. Spacious, well equipped and plenty of room for 4. No bath and no shaver socket the only downside. If you wanted to watch the TV you've little choice of channel. Food: good quality food for both breakfast and dinner. Can't think what else you would want for breakfast and the outside eating overlooking the sea is lovely. The dinner is meat, fish, veg and potatoes with lots of salad options and always a pasta option. I would say its very German in style. There's lots of fruit and cheese too and the desserts have always been really good too. Ice cream options normally 4 flavours a night. Pool: can't swim in any of the 3 outdoor pools at this time of the year as they are not heated. They are missing a trick because it would be very easy to heat one and put it under cover. Indoor pool is over 18 only and not advertised as such. My children have gone in as reception said noone really cares but I wouldn't have let them in as smaller kids. If you are looking for a family friendly heated pool, this is not the place for you. Other facilities: no idea how you use the tennis courts but there's always some serious players on the courts and lessons. The mini golf doesn't have clubs or balls so bit useless. The pool table you need 1 euro coins. Table tennis bat's and balls are provided but sometimes balls disappear. I bought my own. I haven't seen any of the advertised yoga, archery etc. And bike hire is off site not on site like implied. Location: I love the location. The beach is 5 mins walk away and absolutely beautiful. If you want the hustle and bustle there's more restaurants and bars 5-15 mins walk away. It was almost 1 hour drive from the airport though. Language: 90% plus around the area are German. The shops speak to you in German. The menus are in Spanish/German/English. Doesn't bother me but if you have no Spanish or German skills then you may struggle. Hotel staff mainly speak German too. Entertainment: there isn't really any and its in German! Maybe more in the summer. It would be a great hotel in the summer with the pools and the pool bar. I don't know how busy it would be but there aren't many sunbeds out now but it's very quiet. I would say it's got a much older demographic - age 50+ and maybe some organised holiday groups by the look of it. Hardly any families and kids. It's a good secure location for the kids though. I guess it depends on what you are looking for. For us we needed

This is a great hotel with amazing staff always helpful and cheerful. The rooms vary in quality which is a shame as I’ve stayed in most parts of the hotel now. As I’m there for work the bands can be a bit loud but hey, most people are there on holiday so I’m fine with it. Foods great and facilities brilliant

Great location Helpful staff Brilliant breakfasts Lovely pools Came as a large group and found it very good except it kind of advertises that the hotel has tennis courts but these are nothing to do with the hotel and have to be booked and paid for separately. Service in restaurants was a little slow and many waiters don’t speak English but we don’t speak Spanish ! Thoroughly enjoyed

We did not miss anything. Excellent hotel with all, we needed and wanted. Service was outstanding. Tidy and well organised. We shall come back for sure. Food and drinks high quality, fresh, good varity.

Great location of the hotel. The rooms are all very different. I was in the annex near the indoor pool and was very satisfied. The spa area is great, the food is incredibly varied and of very good quality. I also liked the evening entertainment. Drink prices (incredibly delicious cocktails) were reasonable. Highly recommended!

Horrible hotel, disgusting food with little variety, room not cleaned, dirty swimming pool, unfriendly staff. The cleaning is not done seriously, music from concerts every evening which prevents you from sleeping

Very large hotel outside the center but reachable with a 10 minute walk. We were in a superior room with a large terrace on the second floor, large room with bathroom with 2 sinks, very large shower and separate toilet. Excellent cleanliness throughout the hotel. There are 3 swimming pools with sun loungers and umbrellas and hot tubs. The Cala Agulla beach is not far away. Breakfast and dinner for international customers. Safe and minibar in the room.

A great hotel between the bays of Cala Rajada (Agulla and Cala Son Moll). It is about 5 minutes walk to Aqulla bay and 20-30 minutes to Cala Son Moll bay. The hotel is located directly on the road that leads to the harbor (about 15 minutes walk) and the promenade. The shopping street of Carla Rajada is also right by the harbor. In front of the hotel, towards the city center, there are great restaurants and bars (a real and great recommendation: Friends Bar Drinks & Food / 10 minutes walk) as well as shops for daily needs (prices are higher than in the supermarket). There is also a great supermarket nearby (Eroski Center / about 6-7 minutes walk). There is also a rental company for bicycles and scooters nearby (Rent a Scooter & Bike - highly recommended) and a good car rental company (LifeCar - highly recommended). Now to the hotel: The hotel is more than forty years old but has been constantly expanded and renovated - a real family business. We would always book a room in the newest extension, right by the pool bar. The room was spacious with a walk-in shower, a large balcony with two chairs, a table and a lounger. The room has a safe. There are also free bath towels and a bathrobe. The save area (rather small) and sports area look good but we haven't tested them. There are three pools (sports pool, relaxation pool and another pool in the old building). The pool bar between the sports pool and the relaxation pool is really great (food and drinks are good and fairly priced). Unfortunately, the bar that is open in the evenings is rather old and boring. There is no real entertainment program or animation - which was perfectly fine for us. It would be great if the pool bar was open in the evenings. There is a free mini golf course for everyone, table tennis tables and an inexpensive pool table (€1 per game). You can also use the tennis courts in the neighborhood for an additional charge (not part of the hotel but connected to the hotel). Unfortunately there is no real children's or baby pool (the normal pools are between 1.30 and 2.10 meters deep). The food in the large restaurant (breakfast and dinner) is good but nothing special. Unfortunately it is more average to good. This is definitely where there is the greatest potential for improvement. The hotel makes a good, clean and friendly impression. It is very spacious so that you can really have your peace and quiet. The hotel does not reserve loungers with towels - fortunately. There are good and sufficient loungers and sun protection available. The staff are super friendly and attentive. Conclusion: A good hotel with very good value for money. One star was deducted because of the food. Have fun on your next vacation or stay. We will definitely come back again.

3 pools, great spa, 2 large pool bars. Attentive, friendly staff with reasonable prices. Will be Superior + next time. Good air conditioning. In the evenings there were folk dances and a great solo entertainer. Highly recommended. Would love to go back.

If you are looking for a quiet hotel 10 minutes walk from a magnificent bay with turquoise waters, with truly caring, smiling staff, with several swimming pools including one of 25 meters (for lap fans it's great)… . This is the dream place. Magnificent superior+ rooms, varied half-board buffet and for lunch they offer, for example, an excellent salad at the price of 9 euros!!! Their sangria is worth the detour as well as their cocktails. In the spa, wonderful swimming pool with massage jets (numerous massage jets). The vast majority of vacationers are German (the staff speaks it fluently as well as English). In short, we had a wonderful vacation there!

Top location, top facility with a great spa and sports facilities. Congratulations to the management in all areas for this staff. Warm, friendly and attentive. The guest is still king here. Reasonable prices at the bars. Plenty of pools and loungers. Thank you for the pleasant stay. See you next time. Thank you also for the fantastic kitchen.

Few hotels make three outdoor pools and one indoor pool available to clients, belonging to the spa. To highlight the fabulous treatment of the employees and its great location. I hope to repeat it for many more years.
