  : The location is fabulous! Its an amazing value, I love that its adults only! That was super important to my friends and me. The food was wonderful! Although we had only gotten the breakfast package, one night, we decided to buy dinner and it was- are you sitting down?- 14! I thought I misheard and they said 40 which wouldve been quite reasonable given the fact that there was fresh fish, steak, chicken, paella, meats and cheeses, soups, full hot and cold foods, dessert bar, you name it, they had it. The service was very good. Our server, Santiago, was particularly fabulous, and we hope to see him next summer!
  : There was absolutely no management of the limited sun beds. People literally race to the beds as soon as the pool opened in the morning and threw towels down. They would be gone for hours! They would claim a chair, go eat breakfast, spend the day in town, go to the beach and come back at one or two in the afternoon and claim the chairs theyve been holding all day. The staff did nothing to manage this. They should really pull away the towels after an hour of nobody using the chair. There were signs that said not to do that in the room, but the race to the pool in the morning was super aggressive with people pushing people out of the way to claim a bed, especially the few that faced the ocean. It was kind of funny to watch if it werent so frustrating to not be able to get a bed that simply has a towel as a placeholder.Also, the air conditioning was kind of weak. We thought something was wrong with it but its just how it was. It made the room marginally cool, but if you are from a place where youre used to strong AC, where you want to be greeted with a nice blast of cold air on a super hot day, this is not happening. If you were able to pack a small fan to set on your night table, that could do the trick. Personally, I was fine but a couple of my friends found it uncomfortable. Those are the only negative things I have to say about this fabulous resort!

  : Spotless, comfortable, quiet room with lovely views. Excellent breakfast, something for everyone. Particularly liked the egg station where you could order fried eggs, omelette or pancakes. Room well laid out, tea and coffee facilities, comp water and San Maguel in the fridge. Pools lovely and drink service to your lounger was a bonus. Very reasonably priced drinks. Short taxi ride from the airport but not under the flight path. Plenty restaurants and bars nearby but 20 mins from downtown Palma. My new favourite long weekend destination! p.s. the music by the pool Sat night was excellent.
  : No complaints

  : Very close to beach. Room was clean and bed was comfortable. Breakfast was ok.
  : It was the location for me. Felt very sterile. I guess its good if you only want to go and sit by beach or pool. If you want nice restaurant options, Id stay in a different location.

  : The hotel was close to the airport and Palma, situated right on the beachfront.There were two separate pools with plenty of choice of sun beds.Rooms were spacious with lovely sea views and a great rainfall shower.The staff were all very friendly.Breakfast was brilliant and the hotel had tried to accommodate for different dietary preferences for dinner.
  : Rooms are modern, however the hotel lobby could also benefit from modernisation. Even a simple thing such as changing the chairs could make a big difference on first appearances.Aircon in the rooms wasnt great. Even after leaving curtains shut and AC on all day, the room was still not cold by the evening.Shower design flaw means the bathroom floor gets soaked and very slippery after using the rainfall shower. Pool loungers were not the comfiest.
