Lovely from start to finish

5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 3 Jul 2024
Booked a weekend stay in June to enjoy the city and catch-up with some friends following a stay at a resort by the coast.

We got there a little early having checked out of our previous hotel around midday but they were able to accommodate us with our room. We were offered a drink at check-in and then shown around the Red Level area which we got as part of our room package. Staff very helpful and keen to show off the hotel. Our room was spacious, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. For those wanting modern, this is more your traditional 5 star Spanish hotel but done in a way that’s not tired. The room was equipped with everything you’d expect from a 5 star hotel, including turndown service and room refresh all done immaculately. Nice touch of a welcome letter from the manager with some fresh (and delicious) cakes. The only issue with the room was the lights and they quickly came and politely gave me an idiot’s guide without making me feel like an idiot.

The Red Level space is small but comfortable and the staff are always on hand to help with anything – we used them a couple of times for restaurant suggestions. There are drinks (tea/coffee, beer, wine and soft drinks) throughout the day and at certain times spirits and some tapas. As the space is small sitting in the adjacent bar area or even outside on the terrace was our preference.

Breakfast is on the terrace overlooking the marina (or you can sit inside if you wish) and is a buffet – although hot drinks are ordered at the table and arrive quickly. Plenty of choice at the buffet from the health conscious to those that want a hot breakfast including an egg station for freshly made options. Although busy it was very organised and there was an underlying feeling of calm which made for a very pleasant breakfast experience.

We used the pool area a couple of times and the staff were very attentive without being overbearing. They asked us what we wanted in terms of shade vs sun, set-up loungers, covered them with fresh towels and asked if we wanted drinks. There is a pool bar that you can order drinks from and they will deliver to your area…there is also food available but we didn’t try that. The pool area is also the exit onto the main marina road and walk into the city. Although out of the main city centre it’s walkable along the harbour front from the hotel to the city centre – around 40 mins. There is construction going on outside (along most of the marina area) but we didn’t hear it in our rooms, by the pool or whilst having breakfast.

A traditionally stylish Spanish hotel with wonderful staff that I’d highly recommend, and we will absolutely be staying there again in future.

We stayed here a week with friends. On arrival all the staff were very friendly and made checking in easy. Our room was nice, breakfast was excellent and the terrace was lovely to have drinks on in the evening. Super swimming pool and loads of sun beds.
I would definitely go there again

I wouldn’t stay here again. We visited as 3 friends on holidays and booked 3 double rooms for single occupancy and requested rooms close together. On arrival, after sending details by email and completing the online check in, we were greeted and informed we had been allocated 3 rooms together and upgraded with rooms with balconies. Sound good? Upon reaching the rooms we realised they were in the basement with tiny balconies overlooking a wall and the rooms were dark, dank and single occupancy rooms!!! I went back to reception to ask if we had been downgraded, having paid for double rooms with city views and instead being given single rooms with wall views. She continued to say they were upgrades with balconies (to nowhere). I asked for what we booked and paid for!!! After some time and much disagreement she changed our rooms and gave us 3 rooms on 3 different floors, but at least the rooms were now habitable.
Hotel is old and dated, tried and failed to get drinks at 10pm at the bar, customer experience manager a waste of space and reception, well I won’t comment.
Save your money and stay elsewhere.

Room tip: Don’t stay here, unless you like to be downgraded and don’t require drinks at the bar

I absolutely loved this hotel.

Location was amazing, lots of bars and restaurants within walking distance plus the beautiful marina to walk around.

I had a view of bellver castle.

Room was a bit dated but it was clean, very well equipped and the service was outstanding. I loved staying here, a lot.

Pool was beautiful and Inaki was super, the other pool staff were so helpful.

Food, loved the food, room service late night menu was a bit limited but the food was beautiful.

Breakfast was great, loved the selection and being able to sit on the terrace if I wanted to.

Staff were helpful and very friendly. I 100% recommend this hotel. You are able to walk into Palma right by the Cathedral in less than 15 mins and 15 mins taxi from the airport.

I would not hesitate to return.

THE BEST EVER

Room tip: The bed was the MOST comfortable bed I have ever slept in and I can not wait to return.

A fabulous hotel from the minute we arrived. Extremely helpful staff from front of house to restaurant and bar staff.
The hotel has a level of quality that makes for an extra special stay.
We stayed in a side sea view room, which was lovely but would possibly go sea view with a balcony when we visit again.
Breakfast was lovely, the views the staff and of course the food.
