We stayed a week in July at this hotel. Our first impression were not that great. The hotel needs a fixed-up, and when we discovered that despite of what some website inform, there is no aircondition at this hotel, we were a bit negative. We tried to look for a fan, but they do not sell it in this city, you have to go all the way to Palma.
After talking to some of the other guest, the rooms differs a lot. We had a sea view(if they had removed the big tree infront of the terras), but others looked right into a wall, so that is a chance to take.
I read some reviews before going, and did not really know if I looked forward to our stay or not, but we went on a great offer, and took the chance. I agree on a lot of the reviews. The food is not ecxellent and the selection was at its minimum but it was well prepared, and if you are just looking to get full the food will do. Some of the guest had problems getting drinks served in the evenings, the staff does not have the greater overview and half of them probably should retier, but we found it a bit funny to watch. Maybe that is due to the fact that we travelled 6 people together, so we did not get overlooked.
The younger staff is very helpfull and smiley oppisite the elder.
I think what gives this hotel 3 stars is the great location, directly on the beach, as well as the wonderfull pool area. The previous reviews complain about the germans, and I must say that other nations are outnumbered, not only at the hotel but in the whole area. The staff do not speak english(very little) only german, and everything is written in german as well.
We did not have that great a problem getting a sunbed at the pool area, usually we could always find one, but there were occations were people left the towels and did not come back until 3-4 hours later, but we can not hardly blaim the hotel for this, but the inconsidered guests.
In total it is a ok hotel and you should choose it, if you can live without aircondition, want a hotel with great pool area, on the beach, and surounded with shops, cafe and resturants. Despite the need for some renovations, the hotel has a certain charm to it that you do not find everywhere.
NOTE! For our fellow danish, we would not recommend travelling with Østerlindet travelling acency.
