We were all inclusive, which worked well.
The rooms are were exactly what you would expect from a 3 star hotel in Majorca, basic, but clean and functional. They were cleaned and tidied every day.
We thought the idea of a chip in your wristband for your room key was a clever idea, you could never get locked out of your room. You also swiped your wristband when entering the restaurant and when being given alcohol from the bars.
The food again was what you would expect form a 3 star, all acceptable and we thought there was plenty of choice.
There are 3 pools at this hotel, but one has been shut for a long time and the other 2 are quite small and all week we never managed to get a lounger around the pool which we assumed was the main pool by the entertainment area. We always used the pool by the grassed area.
Evening entertainment was good fun on a couple of evenings when the staff did the quiz, It was a right good laugh, the entertainment staff work so hard. As do all the staff that work here, big shout out to kelly at the main bar, always a smile and friendly, and to Daniel at the pool bar. (buenos dias mi amigo como estas)
I feel sometimes people expect a 5 star hotel for 3 star prices, you get what you pay for in my opinion.
we liked the hotel being close to the beach, which is literally a 5 min walk through the underpass..
We enjoyed our week here, even though the weather was not brilliant.
Would we stay again?
Maybe one day.
The staff were all very helpful and friendly. I have mobility issues and they moved my room when the lift was out of order, as I have problem with stairs.
The food was good and well presented, not left to dry out or not replaced for the last 30 or so minutes. They were still putting fresh food out with only 10 minutes left of meal times. Something for everyone, you certainly won’t starve.
Rooms and all public areas were clean and well presented.
I would suggest that hand sanitisers were installed in the restaurant, as all mealtimes are buffet style. Didn’t affect me as I took my own to use before eating.
All the staff were hard working, especially in the restaurant. They were quick and efficient and remained friendly, despite some diners leaving tables and surrounding areas in a dreadful state.
All in all, I would recommend this hotel for value for money and great staff.
Will definitely be returning.
Its 3 star!!!!! But location is 5!!..happy holidays.



Technically the worst hotel you can imagine. Food disgusting 🤮, all meat was rotten and smelly, rotten chicken 🐔 don’t know how my son survived. Same s*** every day and trust me all meats are rotten, be very careful and don’t eat! Basically nothing to eat! Restaurant is terrible!
Pool inside dirty you can’t see inside and the bottom, no where to set not that is worth it. Every single furniture in this place called “hotel” was different and damaged. Everything is so so old! Very bad looked after, dodgy people are starting there like the ones trying to sell you things on the streets- had no problems with them though.
Very strange and bad smell in the whole place, not a single tile that is not broken or chipped. No fridges in the rooms, bath towels ripped, nowhere to hang your wet swimsuit, towel etc on the balcony, no dressing table as huge tv on it, beach towels you need to pay €17 for one ☝️ (10 deposit and €7 for them to treat them selfs🤣) of course you need to be out of your mind as for €7 you can buy your owne towel and take home. Just ridiculous 😡
In the bar ( if can be called bar😀) I had one drink for my 14 nights stay and they asked me to scan so they can keep a track how much I am drinking , maybe they will charge me extra over my all inclusive, not so sure🤷🏻♀️
List goes on and on like I said noise everything was bad,bad !
I want to just to forget this trip.


We both found this quite uncomfortable, as most people instinctively looked. Cleaners came in most days to change the sheets and towels, as in most hotels. Now to the food, I am not fussy and have eaten at many hotels, but unfortunately, this is what let this hotel down; I could not eat it; the food was tepid and warm, left a horrible aftertaste, there was the limited selection, and the food was the same all week. I paid for all-inclusive but ate out every day. Sometimes, I would have tea and a piece of toast, but we could not face the food, and on occasions when we went down, we found some restaurant staff members quite rude and dismissive. However, we found some reception staff members helpful and accommodating. As for the pools, I only saw two, one of which was closed off. The hotel did not look like the pictures on the jet2 website and needed a complete overhaul and update.
Unfortunately, I won't ever return to this hotel, but the local area is lovely with many shops. The resort comes alive in the evening with cocktail bars and some lovely restaurants.



Service:
At the first dinner we ate and went into town for a bit. When we returned to the hotel and wanted to eat something during dinner time, we were humiliated in front of the other guests by the rude head waiter. He stormed up to us and said that we were only allowed to eat once; for a second portion we would have to pay a whopping €18 per person. His behavior was rude and when we refused to pay, the plates were taken from our hands. I immediately complained to reception as it was not written anywhere that you were only allowed to eat once. Apparently they haven't seen fit to write this anywhere for 40 years.
Food:
The choice of food may be great, but the quality is disgusting! Everything is substandard and simply inedible. Almost everything was so disgusting that I had trouble finding anything edible at all. I even tried just eating pasta with tomato sauce and grated cheese on top, but I couldn't even enjoy that because the cheese was moldy! By the way, the tables are cleaned with the same cloth that is used to wipe the floor. And that for almost €600! That's pure rip-off and an outrage.
Hotel/rooms:
The hotel is occupied by around 70-80% older guests who spend their all-inclusive vacation here. Everything is old, run down and in a disgusting state. It stinks everywhere. Ants run back and forth in the rooms. The walls are very poorly insulated and you can hear every noise. There are no full-length mirrors. The beds are not comfortable at all; you can't sleep if you wake up with pain all over.
Overall, I can only strongly advise anyone not to book this hotel!




Large hotel with loads of pools with only one of which was not open due to it being near the dining hall.
Entertainment team were absolutely amazing, even though we are all older teens, we really enjoyed the sports activities and also the helpfulness of the entertainment staff! Shout out to Alexander, Niels, Zoe and Aitor! They have lots of activities from early morning till late evening and catered for all ages, and the staff were so friendly and accommodating!
The rooms were clean and had more than enough space, we booked studio rooms for three people in each one and we were comfortable, the air conditioning wasn’t the best however, the reception offered fans for us! Reception staff were incredibly helpful as well as bar staff, especially the lady on the pool bar (forgot her name) and the lifeguards, especially the blonde lady! The pool can get busy, however, there’s more than enough sunbeds, just as long as you can find a space to place them! One thing to mention is the child’s pool is saltwater, but not as salty is the sea.
Food wasn’t the worst, but could be improved, we have a nut allergy and a vegetarian in our party and found that things were not labelled correctly, so both had to skip out on quite a few dishes that they may have been able to eat if labelled correctly. A pizza labelled four cheese did have meat in it, and deserts were not labelled for nuts, but other than that the food was okay, but we do understand it is a three star hotel! The all inclusive drinks were great! The six drink limit isn’t in the area which was a nice surprise! You can only get two drinks at a time, but it wasn’t really much of a problem as the bars are close to the pools! All inclusive drinks and at 11, but you can still buy drinks after. Cups are a euro but you do get that back when you hand it in at the end, and the dining hall has glasses! Staff in the dining room did get annoyed at us for moving a table inside but was easily fixed, however, don’t move the tables inside as you will get dirty looks from the staff. There is other the options for lunch, in the bar area that are toasties and by the pool we had burgers for lunch, which was a nice change from the dining hall!
We weren’t able to extend checkout because they were fully booked, but they provide a shower room and let you use the facilities while you wait for your transfer which we thought was really nice as our transfer wasn’t until 5 pm. And again reception, bar and entertainment staff kept us busy!
Location was great many bars and restaurants nearby, as well as only being a two minute walk from the beach!
Thank you again to all the team. We had an amazing time!
