“Good food, shame about the clientele”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 August 2007

people found this review helpful

We stayed here for four days in August. It is very close to the airport (16 euros taxi fare, ten-minute ride). It is set back from the beach and the main drag, the pool area is fine and clean, and there's a reasonable bar. It is virtually part of the Taurus Park, as access is by a covered walkway. There is a great supermarket down the road (a Mercadona), and a small mini market across the road from Taurus Park for water, etc. Staff are lovely, and the place is spotless. We arrived early, and they gave us complimentary coffee while we were waiting to get into our rooms. The rooms could do with a little renovation but they were clean and a reasonable size, with air con and a TV. The bathoom is by the terrace, which means you don't get the usual drain smells that seem to haunt Spanish hotels! Come here for the food - they make a real effort to cater for everyone but they also offer Mallorcan specialties every night, and one of the nights there was a special Mallorcan night. They really know how to cook fish here - this is one of the few hotels where fish wasn't overcooked and the range was super. Lots of salads, fruit, hot and cold dishes, cooked to a very good standard.

However, it deteriorates at night, largely due to rowdy groups of males. Police had to be called most nights, and that was just in our corridor so you can imagine how rough it was generally - lots of shouting, banging of doors, stuff thrown from balconies, but you could say that about probably every hotel in the area, which caters to German and now Eastern European tourists. So bring ear plugs and expect to be woken every night. God only knows what some of those people were doing, and it can be very intimidating. On the plus side, they appear to spend most of the day time sleeping so it is quite peaceful during the day.

We would recommend Palma of course (get 23 bus) and the Aquarium which costs around 18 euros but you could spend hours there, it's super.

So, all in all, a decent hotel, super food, and nice staff, shame about the guests.

“OK for the Money”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 April 2007

We have just returned from spending the Easter weekend at this hotel. The hotel is located in Playa de Palma between Can Pastilla and Arenal. As you may know this stretch of Majorca is virtually a German colony and as such 90% of the hotels guests are German.
we thought the hotel was good value for money but the rooms were very small with extremely poor sound isolation, so if you are easily woken by the sound of booming German voices in the corridors at 2 a.m then this is not the place for you.
Half board was the only option available and again for the money we paid (60 euros a night for two) one can not really complain. The breakfast buffet is ver good but the evening meal was a bit tired and repetitive. We stuck it for three nights but I guess any longer and you would be forced to find an alternative.
Similarly the "entertainment" in the hotel bar in the evenings was not really top notch but again at 60 euros a night we weren't really expecting Las Vegas.
The sister hotel Grupotel Taurus Park is located alongside and they share some facilities - the indoor pool and the gym. The Orient has no food facilities outside the morning and evening buffet so you have to use the snack bar at the Taurus park

Stayed at the Orient in late August 2003, nice property, great food. Backside of hotel was construction so the view wasn't all that. Quite location about 600 meters from beach. Pool was well kept and refreshing. Would stay there again.
