Our French-speaking entertainment equipment provides a huge variety of fun and sporting activities which guarantee enjoyment every day.

Me and my boyfriend we wanted to take a couple of days off to rest and enjoy the sun and we couldn't find a better place to do it than Castell dels Hams! We went on a All Inclusive holidays for 6 days for the first time to Palma de Mallorca and want we wanted from the 6 days was to rest, have some sunny days and explore a bit Porto Cristo and we were able to have all of that and even more! I wanted to share our experience with honesty because before we went I read a lot of bad comments from people that were not informed before they booked the Hotel. - The Hotel is a French hotel in a Spanish island so they speak french and spanish but they are flexible speaking English too! Having the experience of being with English tourists before was nice to have some peace and quiet! - We loved everything from the Hotel. The rooms are very clean with a beautiful view. The food is amazing! One of the best places (if not the best) we've ever eaten! You have delicious different food everyday and some days from different cultures (We had one Mexican day and a Chinese on the next); The animation team definitely the best! They are really committed to put everyone, even the little ones, entertained; You have different activities to do everyday and different times even at night were they presented shows for everyone! We never got bored! If you want to visit Porto Cristo they have a free Shuttle Bus provided form the hotel that runs to the Town every hour from 10 am until 6:15 pm and the driver (Señor Allonso) is amazing! He will give you good references for places to visit like he did with us! You can also walk to the town or take a taxi (is just 6€ for trip) but is up to you (: . Of course if you want to visit the island is worth it to rent a car but maybe in our case we didn't wanted since we went with a different purpose. Porto Cristo beach is simply beautiful and picturesque! Next to Porto Cristo you have as well Cala Anguilla and Cala Mendia if you want to explore, we went to all of them but preferred the Porto Cristo beach with the view for the new Rafael Nadal's House, yeah he's from there 😉 Next to the Hotel you have the Caves del Hams (5 minutes walk from the Hotel). Really beautiful inside and worth to explore since the were the first caves to be explored in Mallorca! The only things that I would suggest to improve are the mattresses (they are not so soft like we wanted) and the internet (to be a bit stronger and well distributed). But even that was not a problem for us! So it's pretty much that! We came back yesterday and we are already missing it! You will enjoy it having kids or not, being on your 20's or on your 60's, it always depends want you want and if you want to make things the best you can or not! Hope this helps anyone! 😊

The staff are very helpful and go out of there way to help . You can hire swimming pool towels for €10 euro deposit each at the end of the holiday this is refunded. There is s free shuttle which the tickets are available at 8 pm the previous evening for the next day . Food is ok quite continental. When we stayed it was 98 % French and 2% English people staying there . You can walk to caves del hams and dinosaur park in 10 minutes.

Avoid if you don't speak French language🤣 I didn't feel at all we are on Spanish Island. I travel with my sons 6 and 11, we speak three languages, understand Spanish and perfect English but they couldn't enjoy any of entertainments or kids clubs because all staff and animation team was talking French🤷‍♀️ if I could knew that before we would choose more Spanish or international hotel... Otherwise, room spot on, very clean 👌 pools aswell, lots of sunbeds. WiFi disaster. Kids menu also very poor. Best part was breakfast.

I’m staying at this hotel at the moment, been here a week now and can’t fault it. Yes there are mainly French speaking people here but after a nightmare flight from Bristol where the obscene language was prolific it is refreshing not to hear every other word beginning with “F” … this hotel is definitely NOT party central, there’s always something going on but it is more family oriented. If your looking for a quiet, peaceful break with good food and plenty of room around the pools for relaxing in the sun then this is the place for you. The beach bus is brilliant, running throughout the day every half hour. Would definitely recommend the market at Manacor on a Monday morning, get the beach bus to Porto cristo then the bus to manacor, much cheaper than a taxi.

Booked with sunweb.nl bad service, stuck here in old hotel room, dripping bathtap, shower splashing all sides but down, tiny family room, wifi terrible and no wifi in room.. people do there best but it’s just not up to today’s standards. Pool area is not cleaned. Mix of old dirty and new beds, dinig area bad accoustics and poor food quality.

i booked this break for me and my daughter 4 weeks ago a as last minute relaxation break in the sun, i read the reviews and was slightly worried but your going to a foreign country the least you can do is try and learn a bit of a spoken language. this hotel has Spanish and French speaking staff and customers but they will also try and speak English. the rooms were very good, clean and cleaned and tidied every day. the pools are a good size the entertainment was really good, yes it was hard to understand at some points but the entertainment team translated easy enough, they were friendly and absolutely brilliant with the tourists, they came round all the time offering different activities for adults, there is a full activity plans for the days from yoga to tennis or water volleyball to water polo there the food was good for me and there was a lot of choice

1st class break was had at this hotel. Thoroughly recommend it if your in the correct demographic. Yes its a French hotel, but this is advertised. Yes most of the entertainments are in French, but this is advertised. English is the 3rd language spoken here, 1st French 2nd Spanish, but all announcements are given in all three. It is an older clients hotel, No partying or raves here most things stop at midnight. It was very chilled with very good entertainment staff. Not many Brits here but that was refreshing for a change. Those who were here came here to get away from other Brits on holiday. (just like i did) Was a few couples here under 30 and they had booked without reading up on the place first. The food was absolutely fantastic, every meal was five stars. Absolutely no need to eat anywhere else. Mainly French themed food, but did do Spanish and Chinese theme nights also. The restaurant does get busy, but plenty of seating indoors and outside. Drinks were vey good also, wine and beers being of high quality and spirits served in large measures. Shuttle bus runs continually to the local port. The beach is small but beautiful and the sea is clear and clean. Only draw back is Porto Cristo is very small and can be done in a few hours. I didn't do any of the excursions out so i cant comment but i heard they were fun. I would definitely come back here again and i would thoroughly recommend it if:- You are over 40, wanting a chilled holiday by the pool. Don't mind being the minority spoken language.

Booked this on love holidays which stated it was English and French speaking, not the case at all! Only one rep could speak English and therefore all the entertainment was in french, couldn’t get involved at all and felt quite isolated. All the food was listed in French so again it was very difficult to understand anything. We managed to find around 6 other English people and all the rest were French so definitely wouldn’t recommend for anyone English. There is also barely anything to do in Porto cristo town, a very small beach and very few bars etc. they do offer a boat tour which is the only thing there is to really do. Would not recommend for anyone English or under the age of 50.
