The hotel is not glamourous but very clean and in a great location. Only a few blocks walking distance and you are on the beach. Lots of souvenir shops, restaurants and small grocery shops in the vicinity also. There is a public bus (1.10 Euro) within 2 blocks walking distance that will take you into downtown Palma. Many of the restaurants/grocery shops near the hotel provide German fare (beer/wursts/schnitzel).

Many businesses were closed for the season/holidays. We were there over Christmas.

At check in the front desk clerk informed us that they would be keeping our passports overnight for a security check (sent to police station). I was not pleased about this and told the desk that we would take the passports directly to the police if necessary but they could not keep the documents overnight. The clerk then agreed to take the passports immediately to the police and return them within the hour. We agreed and the passports were back within the hour. Definately advise photocopying your passports and keep the copies with you in case you need them.


Our room was on the 7th floor and there was a fabulous view of the ocean and surrounding mountains. It had two single beds (very firm) and a large bathroom (European Standards). There was also a nice balcony. No frills but CLEAN!

The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. Most speak Spanish, German and English. There were bicycle rentals, car rentals, tours etc. that could be booked directly at the hotel. Highly recommend renting a car (35 Euro including insurance, must show drivers license and passport) and driving the route along the west coast from Palma to Soller. The road and views are spectacular.

Food was good. Salad Bar and a decent selection of hot items for dinner. Dessert was not fancy but available. Breakfasts had all the usual fare: bread, cereal, eggs, yoghurt, some variety of chorizo, cold cuts, fruit, juice, coffee, tea. The elevators are VERY BUSY during dinner hours...sometimes best just to walk down a few flights of stairs. Breakfast served 8-10 and dinner 7-9. Our flight left before regular breakfast hours and we were allowed into the dining room early to get coffee/toast/cold hard boiled eggs/fruit/cereal/NO HOT ITEMS etc.

There is a bar that serves Hamburgers and snack foods.


The Hallenbad was not very big but kept at a pleasant temperature for swimming. At the time of our stay the sauna was 6 Euro/ person per day. Advise the front desk 1/2 hour before use so they can heat it up. You must walk outside to get to the building with the indoor pool.

The outdoor pool was too cold for swimming and only had ladders to get in and out (no stairs). Plenty of lounge chairs available.

Overall a good experience and perfect for tourists. The crowd was generaly "gray hair" during our stay. Definately not a "romantic" getaway or "luxury" vacation or "wellness" vacation.
