Good location; 5minutes from the beach, 10 from the village. Very friendly staff, excellent animation for kids. Food was good, much choice. Appartment was good, but not every day cleaning. Only...: such a small tv, a bit hilarious. Busstop to Palma very close. I can imagine that in high season the pool is too small and maybe then it's too busy, but now(october) everything was good.

Just back from a week at the Prinsotel Alba, where we stayed all-inclusive.

The complex is quite large and centres around a pool and bar, dining and lounge area. Our room was a pretty standard apartment, and very clean. The water pressure in the shower was particularly good! The complimentary toiletries were also a nice added extra.

The (salt-water) pool is a good size and, aside from the daily game of water polo, was usually fairly empty, so there was plenty of space to swim. We also had no difficulty getting a sun lounger each day and it was easy to move around to catch the sun/shade as desired. Also, the free wi-fi around the pool area was a very welcome bonus!

The all-inclusive buffet was excellent. For breakfast, there was a large selection of rolls and breads, cereals, fruit, pastries, cold meats and cooked breakfast items. For lunch and dinner, there was always a large selection of hot dishes (including child friendly options), salads, soup and a big dessert bar. At peak times, some of the trays would be emptied, but the staff were always quick to replenish them. Despite being a fussy eater with several allergies, I have no complaints about the food whatsoever.

Particular mention should go to the entertainment staff, who ran the kids mini-club (including the super cute mini-disco each evening, featuring "Froggy") and daily water polo and volleyball, among other things. The entertainment staff were encouraging, but knew when to leave you alone as well. We also participated in a movie quiz, bingo and karaoke, so there was plenty to get involved in. There was also a movie night where a film was projected onto the wall above the bar so you could watch from the comfort of the sun loungers.

With all this going on, we didn't do very much exploring of the surrounding area, but it seemed fairly quiet, although there were lots of shops, bars and restaurants within a short walking distance. We heard very little noise at night from our apartment - in fact, the main noises we heard were from the water pipes.

The only downsides I can think of are first, that drinks were served in fairly small cups/glasses which meant a lot of trips to the bar to stay hydrated during the day. The water was also often not particularly cold, so it was easier to buy larger bottles from the adjoining supermarket. Second, I was rather rudely turned away from that supermarket while they were cleaning one afternoon - a polite request or sign would have sufficed!

Those very minor points aside, this is a highly recommended resort. The staff clearly work very hard and maintain high standards. Spanish, English and German appeared to be widely spoken. I would definitely be willing to go back!

The hotel was situated in the nicest area of Mallorca with not much air trafic as it is a 1 hours coach drive from the airport. The hotel staff were so nice and the pool was beautiful, but the all inclusive bar was no where near as good as the self catering bars. This was as the other bars were alot cleaner, more choice and better food, also they got proper glasses even in the daytime round the pool, we even got plastic at night. The food didnt cater English food alot as they get more Dutch, German and other nationalities going there, the breakfasts were terrible. Also, the night life in the hotel was destressingly bad, nothing good except a man with a guitar. If you could be bothered for a 5 minute uphill walk u could go into town or a 1 minute walk from the pool is the glorious beach.

Overall a good holiday.

After checking out in disgust of the hovel (no spelling error there!) we booked, we were "homeless". We found this hotel and asked if there were vacancies. Luckily for us, there were so we checked in. The room was spotless, the grounds were well kept, the staff were friendly, and the receptionist was so helpful. Decided to go All Inc and what a saving that was. The breakfast menu was anything from toast, to a good old fry up, and loads to choose from. Everything was labelled in Spanish, German and English so you knew what you were getting. Same for lunch and dinner. The pool was so clean and staff were checking samples of the water at least twice a day. This hotel was between 2 wonderful beaches Cala Gran and Esmeralda. Free internet access was available and we could even access internet from our apartment. There was entertainment some nights (we saw some amazing Chinese Jugglers) and activities during the day, should you wish to be active. All in all, a great short break, but we could happily have staye longer
