Really lovely staff - on reception and in the restaurant and bars. I checked-in really late and out really early with no problem at all. Housekeeping great too - did the room while I was at breakfast. Loved the buffets. Great location for the beach - you get some party goers but I quite liked that atmosphere and i never lost any sleep from them. Less than 10 minutes and €20 to the airport, less than an hour and €2 to palma city - and the bus stop is nearby too.

As an extra short notice holiday this was perfect. Reduced crowds enabled us to see the sights and visit locations that otherwise would be challenging logistically in high season. Can't pick the weather which was changeable however there was enough good weather to make the whole experience enjoyable

We liked how close this is to the airport and the rooms were overall comfortable. We didn't like that if you purchase the plan that includes dinner, you are forced to buy drinks with your meal, even water, and you will be reprimanded if u try to bring your own. This should have been comveyed at check in so we were caught off guard when we went to dinner, THEN found out this little detail. There is nothing at the restaurant entrance that says no drinks either. It was just awkward. Next time, we'll eat elsewhere to avoid the hassle.

The Hotel seemed a base for Stag/Hen groups, very noisy especially the dining room, unfortunately most of the guests had no idea how to queue for the Buffet. I would definitely not recommend this Hotel for anyone seeking a peaceful vacation !
