We were searching for a last minute break and as it was our first holiday for three years we wanted something special. This hotel had a number of great write ups so we booked for a week but at the last moment saw a couple of poor reviews, Well, all i can say is you cannot please everybody, because we found a very clean and well run hotel. The maitr d was exceptional and made us feel welcome on every visit to the restaurant; the food was excellent with a new theme every night. Not the greatest for vegetarians though unless you eat fish. The staff were very helpful and for the most part get it right, although i wish i had expanded my Spanish or German. Previous reviews had been critical of the German monopoly of the hotel, there are alot of Germans but overall a good mix of nationalities, and those Germans who did speak were very friendly.
My 11 year old loved the pool and the beach. We found with visits to Marineland, Aqualand, Caves Del Drach via the Glass Bottom Boat, it was an active week. There's a great little gym in the hotel (free) and a tennis court opposite( extra). If you are English i don't recommend you book excursions with "World of Tui" rep at hotel although helpful we had a trip with only German being spoken. The Thomas Cook/Neckerman excursions availble in Sa Coma offered better value and were multi lingual. If we had any criticism it was for the Chamber maids not replacing correct number of towels and tumblers, and there are some minor cosmetic repairs that need to be attended to. Overall it was a wonderful stay at the Mallorca Palace thoroughly enjoyed by us all and we recommend fully.
