I booked this hotel with Alpharooms (excellent company) - I used to be a travel agent so did my research first etc, particularly on price!!! I got a junior suite for only 10GBP extra per night - so thought - why not!!!!! We stayed two nights before our cruise. We could not fault our room - exceptionally spacious with a balcony (although no view - which didn't bother us), bed very comfortable (I am disabled and NEED comfortable bed), extra part of room had very large part mirrored wardrobes with dressing area space, nice large bathroom with very variable shower settings. Only problem was no english on TV except BBC world news!!!!! but there again that happens in most of Spain.
FOOD - we were on half board (recommend this option). Both at breakfast and dinner there was absolutely plenty of choice and food was well presented and cooked (in fact my husband enjoyed the food better at this hotel than on our cruise in some eateries on board). We had lunch in a nearby cafe/bar and found for what we had quite expensive really - so I was glad I chose the half board option at this hotel.
This hotel is definitely four star in my opinion. There is an outdoor swimming pool - just cut through near there and you are at the beach and along the promenade area. Outside the hotel just a few yards along is a bus stop with buses direct to the airport, Palma and Arenal for 2-3 euros. Journey from airport to hotel is about 35 minutes.
