2026 Canyamel Travel Guide: must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transport & travel experiences (updated in August)

Not much to do in the location, though it's very close to the beach with a few shops and restaurants around. We stayed in a premier room with a minibar in the fridge; the room was very clean and tidy, with a lovely sea view. Juma Bavu is an outstanding entertainer who ensured everyone was happy. There are plenty of sunbeds by the pool, but unfortunately, not enough umbrellas.

A lovely hotel that underwent renovation three years ago, and you can really tell. For me, a good bed is essential due to my back issues, and I must say this was absolutely perfect. We booked the junior suite, which offered a spacious room for the two of us, along with a large and beautiful bathroom. The service from the staff was truly outstanding. We arrived at 9:30 PM to check in, and although the restaurant staff were already wrapping up for the day, the receptionist arranged for us and other guests to still enjoy a delightful meal—making for a fantastic first impression. Even when we left early in the morning, a breakfast was ready for us. The hotel provides a choice between two rooftop pools or the large pool in the garden. Plus, if you fancy the beach, all you need to do is cross the street. Great food, excellent staff service, and impeccable accommodation overall.

We had an incredible stay at this hotel. The setting is beautiful, offering calm, serenity, and privacy. The staff and service were impeccable. The rooms are comfortable and spacious. We enjoyed a dinner at the gourmet restaurant that felt worthy of a Michelin star. The service was on par with the cuisine. The tableware was of very high quality, and a special mention goes to the perfect seasoning of the dishes. We had an excellent evening.

A boutique small hotel designed for complete serenity in a peaceful, rustic setting. The grounds, trees, plants, and overall landscape are simply idyllic. The main pool near the restaurant exudes tranquility and boasts high-quality materials. The water was exceptionally clean and warm. However, the ocean pool felt less impressive as it was often crowded, with older, darker tiles that appeared less clean. It didn't match the ambiance of the main pool. The restaurant is outstanding, with excellent food quality and impeccable service. Breakfast, however, seemed repetitive despite the good quality of ingredients. Bed linens were exceptional—some of the best I've experienced, being incredibly soft and comfortable. Rooms are spacious and well-furnished. The AC worked efficiently and quietly. Perks like the outdoor shower and complimentary bikes were a nice touch. On the downside, there was a noticeable lack of staff and service — for instance, no staff were visible near the pool areas. Some loungers by the pool had ants and dirt. The advertised kayak service was unavailable, accompanied by misleading information about it being complimentary. The parking lot felt unfinished and not as refined as the neighboring sister property, Can Simoneta. While the atmosphere was serene, it bordered on dull without any entertainment; live music occasionally shared between Pleta de Mar and Can Simoneta would be a welcome addition. There were also drainage and odor issues in the WC near the main pool. Overall, the property feels overpriced for what it offers but still provided a pleasant and comfortable stay. The restaurant's food quality, the main pool, and the tranquil grounds were definite highlights. I wouldn't stay for more than two or three nights, though.

I can't recommend Juma enough; he made our stay truly enjoyable, always ensuring everything was perfect for every holidaymaker. Thank you, Juma! The hotel was very clean and tidy, and all the staff were extremely pleasant.

What an amazing experience! We were on a family cycling trip and this was our final stop. We spent two glorious days and nights recovering, eating, and relaxing. The accommodations, food and beverages, and most importantly the service were absolutely stunning. The waterfront location, hidden pools, and sense of discovery were incredible. Particularly captivating was how the two resorts near one another had distinct, unique personalities. Truly wonderful. Best in Mallorca.

Having stayed at many 3- and 4-star hotels in Majorca, I’d rate this as a solid 3. I’m still here on night 6 of 7. It was a budget holiday costing £750 each for my adult daughter and me during the first week of school holidays (she works in a school, so this timing is a must). For an all-inclusive, I find the price quite reasonable. The pool is cleaned daily and tested weekly. The surrounding area is cleaned daily with a deeper scrub once a week. There are about 100 sunbeds but only 18 umbrellas. However, most people coming this time of year don’t seem to need one, and there’s plenty of shaded seating near the pool. It’s lovely that the hotel is adults-only. The food is good though there isn’t a huge variety since it’s a relatively small hotel with guests choosing bed and breakfast or half-board options as well. There’s always a fish dish and usually either pork or chicken, along with lovely salads. Breakfast offers the most options. I didn’t find the food to be cold, though I do eat early. If needed, there’s a microwave for reheating. Amenities include a pool table (€2), table tennis (likely free), and a small gym that we used daily—you do need to cross someone’s terrace to get there. There’s also a small outdoor exercise setup. I didn’t feel treated differently for being English, contrary to some comments. The bartender/lifeguard Frank even apologized for his “poor English,” though his English is better than my Spanish! Guests are mostly German but include Spanish, French, English, Scottish, Irish, and Polish. You can hire pool towels with a €10 deposit and pay €1 for each cleaning or on return at the end of your stay. Some people complain, but I think it encourages environmental mindfulness. There’s also a €1 charge for a token to use plastic glasses poolside. The glasses are small if filled with ice, but you can always ask for more. Return the token at the end of the holiday for a refund. After 7 p.m., normal half-pint glasses are issued. Evening entertainment is quite minimal, though there’s music playing. We went for walks (there's a row of tourist shops and a supermarket two minutes away), or stayed in our room watching YouTube in English (you can Google how to change it to English). We also brought cards and board games. Daytime activities, except Sundays, are organized by Juma from Kenya. He’s hardworking and lovely, running aqua aerobics and dancing while ensuring all guests are happy. It’s a relaxed, low-key holiday. The hotel is near the sea and estuary, with a bridge to catch buses to Porto Cristo (south) or Cala Ratjada (north, 426). Scanning your debit card when boarding and alighting is cheaper than paying cash. The promenade along Cala Bona and Cala Millor offers a pleasant walk. Reception staff are helpful if you need more information. Regarding rooms, I’d recommend upgrading. Our initial room was small, but an aircon issue led us to a complimentary upgrade to a larger room. Both beds were very comfortable. Overall, we’ve had a pleasant holiday. If you arrive with a positive mindset, it’s a great stay.

A truly beautiful experience. Witnessing Spain during the World Championship was absolutely incredible. The nature is stunning, the animator was very entertaining and dedicated. The hotel was lovely, close to the beach, but I didn't quite understand the pool closing at 6 PM, and sometimes the food options were a bit limited. Overall, though, I’m satisfied.

We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel. Everything was beautiful, peaceful, and extremely comfortable. The staff were so kind and welcoming, always ensuring that guests felt well cared for. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was relaxing, and the location was ideal, with many beautiful places and beaches nearby. This was our second time staying here, and we would gladly return again. Thank you for the lovely memories and warm hospitality!

This marks our second consecutive year choosing this hotel for our vacation, and it genuinely feels like a place you’d want to revisit time and time again 🤍. The atmosphere here is incredibly serene, relaxing, and beautiful. The hotel has transformed following its renovation, showcasing stylish interiors, cozy rooms, and charming spaces to unwind and enjoy your stay. A heartfelt thanks to the staff — everyone is kind, welcoming, attentive, and truly caring. Their efforts make you feel comfortable and valued throughout your entire stay ✨. The food was absolutely delicious with a great variety of options. We particularly enjoyed the breakfasts and the delightful ambiance of the restaurant. Another major highlight is the location—there are numerous stunning places, beaches, and scenic spots nearby to explore and appreciate the island’s charm. Thank you for your warm hospitality, exceptional service, and the wonderful memories you’ve given us. Our experience was thoroughly enjoyable, and we’re very much looking forward to returning in the future 😊.

The hotel is excellent, particularly the animator who consistently checked in to see how we were and whether we needed anything. He also organized events like the disco and water aerobics, which were truly fantastic.

The room was comfortable, very bright, spacious, and offered excellent views of the sea, allowing us to relax and enjoy a few peaceful days. We received very friendly service from all the staff, especially Elena at the reception and Juana in the dining area. Highly recommended, we will definitely return.

Had a fantastic break for my birthday and wedding anniversary. The hotel made me feel special by leaving a bottle of bubbly in my room and even sent a card to celebrate our anniversary. The staff across the hotel were incredibly attentive and did everything to make our stay delightful. The food was excellent, offering a wide variety of hot dishes to choose from. The location was perfect, situated right on the beach.

A magnificent estate with a stunning ambiance, blending elegance and tranquility. However, perhaps due to our one-night reservation, we were slightly disappointed with the room's location (n35), which only offered a partial view of the sea and faced a private residence.

Fantastic location, the beach is very close, and the room offers wonderful views of the sea. A spectacular hotel for a few days of disconnection and relaxation. The staff is very kind. An experience I would gladly repeat.

I can honestly say this was one of the best experiences I've ever had traveling abroad. From the moment we walked into the hotel's reception area, the manager Udo was absolutely fantastic—so friendly and helpful, which is exactly what you need after a long transfer. Since we arrived late Sunday afternoon, we didn’t do much, but the hotel staff were so welcoming, it felt like we had been there before. The buffet dinner offered an excellent variety, catering to all tastes. Monday's breakfast was equally impressive, with options for hot, cold, and continental dishes—something for everyone. When we decided to visit a larger town, the manager Udo once again went above and beyond. He provided valuable tips and even arranged a taxi for us, which was incredibly thoughtful. I cannot find a single fault with this hotel or its staff. The room was exceptional, the staff were super friendly and helpful, and the buffet meals—whether breakfast, lunch, or dinner—always provided a wide selection to suit everyone’s preferences. It truly deserves a 10/10 score. I will definitely return in the future. A huge thank you to manager Udo, who is truly an asset to this hotel, and the friendly staff, who made our short break unforgettable. This is a place I wholeheartedly recommend!

A charming hotel that has been newly renovated. My room had lovely sea views, and the beach was just a minute away. The facilities were very clean and well-organized. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool and the spa, which had jet streams and a Turkish bath. The staff was exceptionally friendly, especially Ahmed at reception, Juana in the dining area, and Juma, who made us dance every night. Without a doubt, we’ll be returning!

The hotel offers many advantages... an open pool, spa, beautifully maintained gardens, multiple play areas, and spacious, charming, and cozy spaces. The entertainment area is very fun, with highly dedicated staff like Jumah.

Who understands this kind of happiness? I don't want to go to work. I am obsessed with it. I'm going to waste my life in a place like this Because people living in such a place don't know what troubles they have. 📍Hotels in Mallorca, Spain🏨Can Simoneta

A very quiet and comfortable hotel, most rooms with totally stunning views that really gets into your deepest soul. Just relaxing in the room feels like you spent a week on a meditation campus. Excellent breakfast, and many trails leading up in the nearby mountains, for both beginners as well as seasoned mountaineers#stunning views #mountain trails Address:Via Melesigeni, s/n, 07589 Canyamel, Illes Balears, Spain
