We stayed at the Hotel Romantic from 11th October until the 18th October. We booked this holiday as a reasonably priced late deal, 4 weeks before traveling. It seemed that, from the day we booked this break, the Trip advisor reviews took a nosedive and by the time we departed we were expecting the worse, but, were keeping an open mind.
On arrival at Palma airport, there was some confusion with the minibus driver as to which hotels he was dropping people at (Thomson) but we, along with another couple, were deposited at the Hotel Romantic at approx 11.00 am only to be told that our rooms were not ready! At approx 11.45am we were allocated our rooms. The room we were allocated overlooked the back of the bar next door, which wasn't a pretty sight. It mainly contained a big pile of empty bottle crates (photo attached) and just piles of palettes and general mess, a large family of feral cats and one (that we observed) very brave rat! The room also had a really strong smell that we couldn't identify along with a cracked handbasin and mould growing around the half sized bath. Later in the week we narrowed the smell down to mould growing on the back of the room desk/dressing table but were never 100% sure. It helped to leave the balcony door open, but, every evening we were treating to the owner of the bar burning empty cardboard boxes under the balcony! didn't help.
However, this was our first visit to Majorca for almost 25 years, we ignored all negatives and left the hotel to, first arrange a hire car for the week, and second to explore Puerto Pollensa & Majorca
The hotel breakfast, if you liked a cooked breakfast, was OK! The evening meal was, sometimes passable, and, sometimes awful. There was always a decent salad bar and soup. I am not sure what sort of 'Chef' thinks that Spaghetti of any sort will 'keep' well on a hot tray???? Never gonna work!
On the positive side, all the staff were polite, friendly and helpful. The hotel is in a fantastic position across the road from the beach.
Honestly, we thought that the Hotels main negative was its small legion of regulars!
People that, for what ever reason, visited year after year and seemed oblivious to its shortcomings and expected 'newcomers' to be also. One evening, the Chef was congratulated with a theatrical pat on the back and a loud 'marvelous job as usual' from one 'regular' lady visitor????
Would we stay at this hotel again? No. Nor would we recommend anyone else to.

stayed at this hotel from 17th till 21st october was as usual a bit apprehensive after reading some of the previous reviews,however soon realised there was nothing to be worried about.The hotel is in a great spot just across the road from the great beach,not too far to walk from all bars and shops.Very clean hotel had a great seaview as requested ,room was also very spaciousand clean, all staff were friendly and breakfast was good there was a good choice cant comment on evening meal as ate out every night but other guests said the food was good cant really complain about anything as it was great value for money and would return.One more point there is a lift for people with mobility problems .

Just back from this great little hotel, it was a little gem.
Very quiet and atmosphere great.
Sea front location bike hire and service busses galore.
Places of interest to visit and would go again

This was our first holiday in Porto Pollensa. We chose this hotel on the basis that the good reviews we read spelled out that it would be a good place to be. We were not disappointed. So much positive about it, Very clean quiet room. Away from entertainment but only a short walk to the bigger hotel and all the bars if we chose to. Breakfast buffet style was good with lots of choice. Good coffee. The only negative was,as in other reveiws, the evening meal. some of the days we had to bypass the meat and fish offering and look for something else. Thankfully there was plenty of other choices. A very good salad bar too, so we always came away satisfied. Another plus, we loved the large selection of sweets. So all in, we enjoyed our week and will come again.
