What travellers are saying
- Matthew PLondon, UK6,288 contributionsThe out side looks better than the inside, it is 2 euros to enter and a further one for the museum inside. Nicely laid out some nice statues. Worth a walk around if you are there.Written 25 September 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- lambertruthLytham St Anne's, UK387 contributionsWhat a fabulous city which is compact, flat and easily walkable .
Be sure to Visit the tourist information office for maps and walking routes and don’t miss an easy coastal walk to playa Niu Blau and the fabulous Soulgood beach bar. ( 40 minutes along the coast)
The ferry to Evissa ( Ibiza town) was an excellent way to see the coastline but it was also easy ( and cheap) to catch the bus
The hippy market at Es Cana is well worth a visit (Wednesday) and cost 10 euros in a taxi or you can get the ferry
The riverside walk in Santa Eulalia makes a nice change and there is a circular walk up the river and through the old town
There are hundreds of places to eat either around the Marina , on the promenade or so called ‘restaurant street’( next to the town hall ).
Highly recommended. Enjoy 😊Written 21 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It was built in the thirteenth century on the remains of an arabic building during the reign of the king James I, so-called “the Conqueror”. Due to its stated nature of cloistered nuns convent just the church can be visited. Therefore the subject matter of this review can just be the church itself. It's a pity that the rest of the convent may not be seen since apparently some of its parts are marvellous, such as several gothic tombs where some abbesses are buried.
In order to get into the church one must first enter a small square through a splendid portal on the top of which there is a picture showing the image of the saint under a tile curved roof crowned by a stone cross. Once in the square it's noticeable that one of its most outstanding features is the peacefulness which can be felt there. It's a nice square, the church being on the opposite side of the stated portal. The convent finds itself on the right hand side of the entrance to the square and on the opposite side there are private dwelling-houses whose occupants must feel in heaven as they have the luck to live in such a peaceful atmosphere.
The church is an attractive building despite the soberness of its façade. The latter is in late renaissance style and the sculptures and carvings framing the church entrance door are practically the sole architectural ornaments existing on there. They are beautiful. A window above the door itself and a shelter over that window as well as some artistically ornamented openings on the top under the roof are also attractive elements. The bell tower is a rather peculiar element of the church outer part. It's square shaped and located at the front part of the building with a view to the little square. It's concretely on the left side corner of the said building part as one looks at the façade from the square, as a prolongation of the main building so that the relevant edge is common to both the tower and the rest of the edifice. There is a square terrace, larger that the tower itself, in the middle of which the belfry stands. The terrace is surrounded by a nice balustrade.
Inside the building, the architectural style is not apparently clearly defined. It's a single nave church in which one may observe that most of its vault is of a barrel type with the exception of a small section which has a groined vaulted ceiling thus reflecting light beautifully while adding depth and movement to the space. Besides, the arches between the nave and the side chapels are semicircular, which, as known, is a typical feature of romanesque style. The interior is in general rather austere. Notwithstanding that, there are some beautiful elements such as the gilded high altarpiece and the Crucifixion side chapel. In the former one can see an image of the saint to whom the church is dedicated in a niche flanked outside it by four saints, two on each side of the niche. Above the latter, in another segment of the altarpiece, there is a smaller niche containing an image of the Virgin flanked by statues portraying St. Francis and another saint. All those figures form a marvellous ensemble located at the back of the fantastic apse with plateresque style walls. There is a nice mural painting depicting the Assumption of the Virgin on the wall below the organ platform balustrade, and other paintings hanging on walls among which that showing the Adoration of the Shepherds is outstanding.
It's by and large an interesting church worth being visited mainly to have the possibility to feel the peaceful atmosphere both inside and outside the building. That atmosphere may pervade the heart of anyone being there thus being able to make him have a sentiment of relaxation and, should the occasion arise, of recollection.Written 7 June 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

It’s a quaint village and plenty of restaurants Al fresco. Some good views.Written 2 November 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- davidandmelBirmingham, UK1,574 contributionsThe ermita itself is not always open but it was when we visited - it has a simple whitewashed interior and a wooden crucifix dating from the 14th century. The drive up is amazing although the road is very narrow in places. There are several walks that start from here including one into the town of Betlem which takes about 40 minutes according to the noticeboardWritten 9 October 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Marlene E12 contributionsThe sanctuary is near Randa on top of the mountain it is extremely unspoiled and has a friendly laidback atmosphere. We chose a junior suite with a terrace and when we opened the door to our room and opened the doors and window the view took our breath away. The rooms are very spacious, tastefully furnished with modern facilities and an extremely comfortable bed .
The silence and peacefulness of the place is wonderful and the sunset espectacular.
In the morning you are awoken with the bells from the sheep and goats and the breakfast is extremely good with plenty to choose from . We will definitely go back to this very special place .Written 27 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Don't go by the exterior.Written 14 May 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- BelaZitaBudapest, Hungary452 contributionsIt is a beautiful small monastery in the middle of nowhere in the mountains.
It has amazing views to the ocean.
It is a bit hard to find, you can park the car at the Hotel Bordoy Continental or Can Costa Walldemossa parking and take the last 2 kilometers on foot at the forest.Written 9 July 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

A nice church, quite large for the small city of Sineu, with many colored windows and relaxing music inside.

The bed was extremely comfortable and the silence of the night made for a very good nights sleep only to be awakened in the morning by the bells of the sheep and goats . An extremely good breakfast with plenty to choose from is taken in the dining room or outside terrace , we opted for the dining room as the day before we had an excellent lunch on the terrace (delicious mallorquín Arroz Brut a rice dish with rabbit snails and vegetables) The staff are very friendly this is a very unspoiled laidback place far from the maddening crowd, another Mallorquín gem we would recommend!!Written 27 September 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- CraffwrWest Wales2,024 contributionsA quiet church on top of Platja de S’oratori cliff. Considering the hussle and bussle of the holiday makers on the beach below, this is a chillout place with amazing views from outside the church.
No admission fee. It i also nice to hear the church bells ring.Written 13 November 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
