Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is centrally located, offering easy access to the town center and a variety of activities on the island. The rooms are cozy and clean, and the staff is accommodating. However, the dining options may lack some variety, and there is only a small supermarket nearby. The facility provides a homey atmosphere with homemade Majorcan products.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were clean and comfortable, but unfortunately, a few facilities were lacking. The service was friendly, but the dining options left something to be desired. The location was ideal for exploring the island, but there were limited activities available.
I just had a wonderful time at this hotel! The location is amazing, right by the ocean and close to a charming supermarket and the exciting activities on the island. The rooms are cozy with a touch of modern, but I did have a slight issue with a broken chair. Despite that, I found the service to be top-notch. The dining could use a bit more variety, but the Singapore noodles were a hit with me. The facilities were fantastic overall.
The hotel is perfectly situated between stunning sites and an unbelievably beautiful island, offering plenty to do on the island. The rooms are clean and comfortable, but some chairs were broken, which was a bit disappointing. The service was excellent, with attentive housekeeping and available shuttle service. The hotel's location in the center of town makes it very convenient for exploring. The dining experience lacked variety with not many protein or fruit options, but the made-to-order sandwiches were a highlight. The facilities were top-notch, providing a modern and spacious environment. The value for money was reasonable overall.
