Reviews and Ratings
This hotel truly exceeded my expectations! The rooms were so cozy and clean, and the staff was incredibly welcoming. The only drawback was the limited dining options, but everything else was fantastic. The price was fair, though some amenities required additional fees like Wi-Fi.
The hotel offers comfortable rooms with all necessary facilities, kept clean, and featuring king-size beds. The service was excellent, including room service, housekeeping, and a convenient airport shuttle. The location was central by nature, with easy access to various bars and restaurants. The dining experience, tailored to our taste, offered delicious grilled sandwiches. The facilities were modern and in great condition, making the stay enjoyable.
The hotel offers comfy rooms with king-size beds and a peaceful atmosphere. The service is top-notch with excellent room service and housekeeping, but the paid airport shuttle could be pricey. The location is conveniently close to various restaurants but slightly distant from the coast. The dining experience, focusing on home-made Majorcan products, is delightful. Overall, a great place for a relaxing getaway.
