Bright, modern hotel, clean and comfortable and situated only a few hundred yards from the beach at Playa de Palma. Guests are almost exclusively mature Germans, we did not meet or hear another English speaking person during our entire stay. Bedrooms are relatively small with a postage stamp size TV. Sky News available but reception is very poor. Small outdoor pool area partly sheltered by trees. Food was acceptable, served buffet style and is certainly not fine dining. Staff, as at all Riu hotels, were excellent.
Playa de Palma is obviously a German outpost, spoiled by African gentlemen who proposition you with watches and sun glasses every few yards on the sea front walk.
Overall we quite enjoyed the Festival but if we returned to Majorca we would stay elsewhere next time.
