We just spent a week at El CID, as a base for cycling the island, and we were very satisfied with the hotel. Though it was built many years ago, it has been very well maintained and it offers two large outdoor pool areas, comfortable reception area, large lounge with nightly shows, pleasant dining room and other amenities. The buffet... More

We stayed here just for one night whilst on a cycling tour, and at the end of April, so review not really applicable for someone staying for a week or so. The room, bed etc. were all fine. The food in the evening also was fine, with some freshly-cooked dishes as well as the buffet. The breakfast was very good.... More

Just spent 3 nights at the THB El Cid & have come back disapointed. The hotel itself is looking very dated from the outside,but inside it is clean and much more presentable, especially the reception and lounge areas which are more in keeping with what you would expect from a 4* hotel. Our room was very ordinary but there was... More

I had a meeting in Mallorca, last March, and I stayed in El Cid Hotel. It's near the airport and next to the beach, in a quiet street. The capital (Palma) is 15min away, by car. The hotel has all the necessary comfort for family with children or for senior travellers.

Perhaps not a 4 star hotel compared to international standards, but it's clean and reasonably modern. Large balcony with a view of the beach. It's over the road from the beach and around the corner from the bus stop into town. The breakfast buffet is reasonable with a selection of cold and hot choices. Obviously popular with tour groups, charter... More

Hi I stayed here about 14 years ago and I remember it as a lovelly hotel, rooms were very clean with views of the beach. It was near to the airport but we were not disturbed by any noise. Our board was half board and the food was great. Would be interesting to see if the reviews are still good.....

Location above all on this hotel. It's amazing: just get out of hotel, walk and cross the street and you are on beach. If i say 1 minute to reach the sand, i'm probably not being honest because i think you are touching the sand in seconds after you leave the hotel! Well, but the rest, is not so good.... More
