im going to be fair with this hotel. personally i found it ok but and its a big but... there are lots of improvements that could be made to bring it up to scratch. the hotel layout is great. the location is excellent and the staff were friendly but the food and amenities really let this place down.
our room was ok although no air con which was a problem for us but a quick convo with the gentleman on reception and hey presto we had a fan and as we were there end of the season this was adequate but if you were thinking of going here at peak i think it was be intolerable with the heat. The shower and the hot water was a joke to be honest. i found that if you want a shower it has to be about 3 before everyone else. hardly any water pressure. the room was cleaned everyday which was great and our room ( which was in the main building with a pool view) was adequate. Take a tip dont bother hiring the tv cable cos its not worth it... all german channels apart from some british sports channel.. me and my partner ended up watching billards on night.... prior to this i didnt even know what that was lol
Right here comes the bad bit. all my holidays tend to be last minute and mostly all inclusive so i pretty much know what im gonna get. This is definitely a 2 star when it comes to the food. Poor selection mostly is the problem. what is on offer is tasty but badly presented and i eat with my eyes. No selection of desserts. only jelly and melon and the occasional rice pud. there is only 2 coffee machines... both situated in the same area which gets really crowded. The toaster broke the day we arrived and was never fixed. the breakfast was greasy and cold. whatever is put out for luchtime is then put back out and served for dinner.
We found a really good breakfast can be had at the beach bar over the bridge to the right of the hotel and lots of good eating places nearby.. the entertainment was rubbish and also the info in the lobby for excursion etc where all in german and spanish .... no english leaflets to be had anywhere... so you really are on your own to explore. the castle aint worth the hike up the mountain.... it aint a castle its a look out tower.
the walk to sa coma and calla millor is worth it and i will definitely revisit this island and will stay in 1 of these areas as it seemed to be of a higher standard generally . hope this helps
