We stayed at the Rosa del Mar for 6 nights at the end of September. This time of year had a lot of older visitors, probably equal with the younger crowd. The hotel was in a perfect location for both Magalluf and Palmanova, only a 2 minute walk to either place. Weather was perfect - sunny and hot!
We were in a self-catering studio apartment. We booked for two people, through Expedia, and we got three beds made up. We would have preferred a double bed but we did not request one. We cooked most of our meals in our room. Pots, a pan, plates, toaster, fridge, kettle cutlery and glasses were provided, with two hob elements. A microwave would have been nice but none provided.
Given the quieter time of year, we were given a pool view, though I suspect at busier times it would be first in first served. So the view was great! We did not pay extra for this, and did not know we would getting a pool view before arriving.
Cleaners do not come on Thursdays and Sundays, but that was fine by us. My only complaint with the cleaning is the lack of soap! We were provide with two small bars on arrival, and we expected new soap as this disappeared, but we got no more for the rest of the week and had to buy our own. I would have expected complimentary soap.
We came to Mallorca to get out and enjoy the beaches and night life, not sit in our room, so the room was fine for us, being 3 star.
It can get noisy in the hotel, but I can imagine is it like that everywhere. We were on the 3rd floor above reception and bar area, and we could hear phones ringing and talking in reception. But again, we weren't too bothered about this. We both slept well. Beds were comfy enough.
We did not eat at the hotel so cannot comment on food. We were not very impressed with food in general on this trip and very glad we chose self catering. Found a lovely chinese place to eat on our last night, would have been there every night had we known! So highly recommend Happy Chinese. Can get cheap breakfast at Florida cafe just down the road for 2.50 euros. Bip supermarket close by for all your needs.
Had a few stag parties staying while we were there. People should know that's why parties come to Magalluf! Yes they drink by the pool and can get noisy, but that is what they are there for! If you stay near Magalluf, you have to expect that. They certainly didn't bother us in the slightest, and the kids playing in the pool didn't care! They can be quite entertaining!
Hotel entertainment was OK, each night they had bingo and quizzes. We went once, the rest of the evenings we were out and about.
Room Tip: Pool view rooms go around three sides of the pool. Our balcony got sun most of the day, but on eithe...
