“We had a wonderful 4-night stay at this hotel! The absolute highlight of our room was the breathtaking view of the bay and the sea. The hotel is also incredibly family-friendly; their daily and nightly entertainment programs for kids and families added so much fun and variety to our trip. The staff were super friendly and welcoming. Food-wise, the breakfast buffet was extremely diverse, and the dinner menu had something delicious to satisfy absolutely every taste. Highly recommended for a family vacation in Mallorca!”

“Beautiful Hotel, but dropped a star We have visited before and were really looking forward to another holiday here. As before, the kids club team were amazing. They are really good with all the children and they interact in such a friendly comforting way. The pools were all very cold... we have paid for selection club and expected a slightly heated pool. It wasn't heated at all. The food was good but we had 2 very "bland" evenings of food. And on the second night I got food poisoning and was in the room very ill for a full day. The nearby beach and rooms are excellent. The room view was just out of this world. Cleaning was also very good. We had a lot of ants in the room. My spa treatment was terrible and was basically a tickley stroke... not a massage. The hotel staff are lovely. For the price, I dont think we shall return for a third time which is a shame because last year it was fantastic”

“We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel! Everything exceeded our expectations. The hotel was beautiful, spotless, and very well maintained. From the moment we arrived until the day we left, we felt welcomed and cared for. A huge thank you to every member of the staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly, professional, and always ready to help with a smile. Their kindness made our holiday truly special. We would especially like to thank the amazing entertainment team. Filipa, Lucia, Maria, and Anton were absolutely fantastic. They organized wonderful activities for the children every day with so much energy, enthusiasm, and genuine care. They made every child feel included, happy, and excited to participate. Our child had an unforgettable time thanks to them, and we are so grateful for everything they did. The food, facilities, and overall atmosphere were excellent. We couldn’t have asked for a better family holiday. We will definitely come back and will happily recommend this hotel to our family and friends. Thank you to the entire team for making our vacation so memorable. See you again soon!”

“This is such a beautiful resort! We stayed in the Royal Terrace One Bedroom Apartment with a Sea View. The room was incredibly comfortable and came with a kitchenette, providing all the basic things a person would need when travelling with kids.The views from our room were spectacular to, I've attached photos of the sunrise - such peaceful and beautiful. It was a bit of a shame that we went at the end of March, as the weather was very cold. Initially, there wasn't good bedding layering available for the chilly nights, but after a quick request, the staff kindly sent up a nice, warm duvet. On a very positive note regarding sleep comfort, the pillow selection was absolutely amazing! Because of the cold, we unfortunately couldn't enjoy the beautiful pools or the hot tub on our terrace. However, the resort itself and the nearby beach are both absolutely gorgeous, and I would love to go again in warmer weather someday. The food was very good and there were lots of vegetarian options available. Unfortunately, they were not clearly labelled. I have noticed all the European resorts have this issue; I think they should mention what's vegetarian and what's not, but they usually don't. That aside, the staff were wonderfully warm and helpful throughout our stay. Highly recommended for families!”

“I've been to this Hotel with my family twice now and would highly recommend it. The hotel is quite large with tons of fun activities for children and adults alike. The location is absolutely fabulous with an amazing mountain and beach/ocean view. The service is incredible as well. We for example had an issue with the heating, which was solved within 10 minutes with them giving us a heating fan (which made the room the perfect temperature within the hour.) They're very welcoming great with kids and were very nice. They have a great selection of food, snacks, drinks and all kinds of other treats throughout the resort. The hotel has tons of things to do for kids, multiple nice pools, and activities such as table tennis, bouncy castles, darts, a show every night at 20:00 that engages the kids with dancing, meeting mascots and much, much more. It also has fun things for adult as well such as a spa, adult only locations an incredible mountain you can hike by foot or with horses and an amazing beach. I would highly recommend this hotel for family's and couples. I believe it's better for those with children but great for couples as well.”
