I have lost count of the number of times we have visited this hotel since 2001. It has certainly had its ups and downs but now appears to have got its act together again. The location overlooking the Bay of Palma is superb and despite the limitations of Illetas the proximity by bus to Palma is a major plus. Yes,... More

As soon as you see this Hotel you are impressed. It is not a high raise but built on the rocks down towards the beach. So on first sight you only see one floor. 8 floors in total all built down towards the beach. The reception is very big and opulent. Reception staff are very pleasant and really helpful. Greeted...

We visited in the first week of October to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. We had been to the Bonanza Playa before (about 6 times in fact) but not for the last 3 years. We were pleased to be able to say that, yet again, we had a good holiday at the hotel. When you've been somewhere a few times... More

Our stay was to celebrate our golden wedding anniversary and i have to say the hotel could not have done more for us , they were superb and helped to make the occasion very special. Illetas itself is a lovely spot and although fairly close to Magaluf it could be a million miles away. It's quite a smart area mainly... More

We stayed at the Riu Palace Bonanza Playa in Illetas at the beginning of September. On arrival we were offered a glass of Cava and a seat in the reception bar whilst we waited for our room to be ready (we had arrived on an early flight into Palma). The wait was a little bit longer than we would have... More

This was our 3rd holiday to a RIU hotel, Jamaca and mexico were all inclusive and were both excellent holidays, so when it came to booking a week break in Majorca RIU was high on our search list, we booked the half board option. As usual we checked all the reviews and overall most were very good so we picked... More

The Riu Palace Bonanza Playa is a good holiday hotel for families. The rooms are nice, the views fantastics and the food in the restaurant is good. Guests can park their car in a car park next to the hotel for € 7,- a day. The wellness area is small but nice and for free. The hotel is quite expensive... More

First of all I've booked 7 nights for the Hotel Riu Bonanza Park but I've stayed in Hotel Riu Palace Bonanza Playa (just across the street). I went there with my boyfriend expecting a week of calm and relaxation and I was satisfied. The hotel is in Illetas, a very good place if you want to escape from the noisy... More
