Don’t know where to start overall this was a scam and horrible experience. On the website it says ALL INCLUSIVE and u do have to pay extra for that so I did that. The day I arrived they told me I can only get 3 drinks at lunch time and 3 during dinner which wasn’t describe on the website when I was booking. They told me I can get drinks at the bar which they were charging me for. And the all inclusive was only when u were eating lunch and you couldn’t get what u wanted u were only allowed beer or wine. On top of that no room service and food was ONLY in certain hours open u were not allow to eat whenever u wanted to. My room smelled so bad I complained a million times they finally said they will change my room for additional cost which I don’t think was fair. No towels in the room tv was broken mold on the walls just disgusting and not worth any money. I have pictures and proof of this terrible hotel. Also when I was checking out I got charged for all the drinks I got which was supposed to be included and the food. Not fair. I did eat out and drink out of the hotel. I do request a refund this was horrible. And on top of that we had people walk with iPads telling us to put 5stats for everything for a free drink.

Trevligt hotell
Trevlig hotell som har bra frukost och middagbuffé. Fin pool och trevliga allmäna sällskapsrum. Rummen skulle kunna ha bättre bäddning med flera kuddar, samt bäddad säng med varmare täcken. Några saker som satt lösa i badrummet, så det skulle behöva ses över.

Nice quiet family hotel, I would go again!
Nice hotel, nice staff, clean and modern. Mostly Germans staying, a few Brits, mixture of families and older couples, and just one group of young men while we were there, so no rowdy parties to contend with. Queue for dinner buffet opening is a bit of a bunfight and we experienced some angry guests accusing the others of jumping the line, so just go down 10 minutes later to avoid any international conflicts!!! The food is good and varied, but we struggled a bit on several nights being vegetarians as the choice for use was more limited than we perhaps would have liked. It’s ridiculously easy to get to the airport, just 10 mins in cab, but we didn’t feel the airport was close by at all during our stay so don’t let that put you off….. in summary a great place to spend a week in the sun with our German cousins!

Stayed for 5x nights in a basic double room… Having stayed in the Iberostar Cala Millor last year i had an idea of what to expect and this was pretty much the same… Good Points Room was as you would expect clean and tidy, basic but thats what i paid for, maids popped in daily to clean and make the beds. Food good overall but did get a little bit repetative over the 5 days Staff as always very helpful especially great them being multi-lingual helps massively and the little fella that works in the bar area what a genuinely lovely guy would do anything to help.. Bad Points Beds could do with an overhaul mine had a broken wheel and was a bit wobbly as did my partners…

Absolutely fantastic ! Staff is just amazing from reception, housekeeping to all kitchen and canteen employees- friendly, kind, very attentive, helpful, smily and caring. We had a half board option and out of many hotels we stayed in recent years this one beats them all - so much choice of food, everything fresh, organic coffee, fried eggs or meat cooked to your preference! Great choices to accommodate anyone. Exceptional waiting and kitchen staff !!! Bus stop right on the front of the hotel connecting Palma City and Airport. Will definitely come back there in the future ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
