Balearic Islands hotels & places to stay

This is my second time after 3 years - the whole concept of the hotel is great and unique worldwide with all the parties. That's why they can charge so much money per night. The staff at the reception is nice, but on the beach not very good. It took ages until we were served. Food is good. And the parties are great of course :) So will come there again because of the vibe, but in terms of service there are much better 5 star hotels for less money ;)

This hotel was lovely and clean, the rooms were comfortable and spacious with nice toiletries. Our room was on the same floor as the rooftop bar which was great as there was no balcony. The rooftop pool was beautiful and the drinks were reasonably priced, however given the size of the pool Area there were not enough sun beds. There were only a few and the rest were very uncomfortable chairs. We spoke to several People at the hotel who agreed that there should be much fewer chairs and more beds. People were choosing to lie on the floor rather than sit in on of the tiny chairs, this was a real shame as the pool was so beautiful. This is the only negative feedback I would provide for the hotel which otherwise we loved.

We enjoyed our stay, rooms were big and clean and the pool and lobby area was nice. Generally seemed to be a lack of staff around though and no pool service which you would expect to be available at a hotel on an island where you predominantly stay by the pool. Gym was very average, Dumbbells only under 3kgs or above 10kgs (no in between) also no water provided, no music, no gym matts or fit balls. Breakfast buffet and dinner buffet were both very good and good value too. Don't understand though why men are not allowed to enter the dinner buffet in a singlet (I am female and a singlet was fine for me) particularly given it is a very casual style of service, it was only hotel guests there and only about 10 tables were occupied. Was inconvenient and bizarre for us and the others we saw being told to go and out a t-shirt on.

The rooms are very clean, spacious with beautiful interior. The bed was super comfortable and the best part was the view! This hotel have breathtaking views!! The staff were very nice and helpful, and excellent breakfast with a wide range of choices. Location is super ideal with the beach and restaurants a few steps away and buss stop 1 minuet walk away. The buss takes you all the way to the central and all main attractions. Highly recommended hotel and I will definitely come back!

Great breakfast selection, served with awful coffee and cava. There was a Nespresso machine in our room, but no coffee capsules were provided. We had to pay 5.00 Euro extra for 4 capsules at the reception as long as we were regular guest, not all-inclusive guests. Not really a 5-star hotel experience, but the staff were friendly and very professional so we had a pleasant stay.

PROS 1) Helpful happy staff that will go the extra mile for you – who have to put up with a lot of verbal abuse and drunken behaviour 2) Hotel facilities – Excellent – Pools, etc 3)Apartments – Clean , comfortable - Been refurbished to a very high standard, clean, welcoming – where else have 2 42” Tv screens in bedroom and living room – great balcony 4) Breakfast – This can compete with the best – so much choice and really 10/10 5) Excellent location – for beach and restaurants6)Cleaning Staff – excellent – they deserve a medal to clean up the filth that the stag and hen groups leave. BAD points 1) Glad we were only self catering and breakfast as we were going to go in one night for evening meal but it was like feeding time at the zoo,.drunk British groups on AI, being obnoxious and rude to all. – 2) Pools great – managed to get sun beds.

Ok Guys. A group of us booked this hotel. I upgarded to a premium room. The only difference I found was the veiw. These rooms were at the front and had harbour veiws of some sort. You got tea and coffee making facilities, dressing gown and slippers. If not bothered about the veiw bring a travel kettle and dressing gown and save some money. Finally you couldnt fault the staff they were exceptionally helpfull. Oh sort out the internet connection guys. My laptop browsers would not connect under some security conflict. Phone did but you had to log in daily. Nearly left with no phone or lap top as they got very close to being deposited in the harbour via the balcony. Breakfast was very good with a wide selection of both hot and buffet style.

I was there only for two nights but I plan to stay longer next time, because of: 1) The hotel's staff was great very polite, supporting and helpful to accommodate any request or provide any information; 2) excellent location - almost on the beach, very close to Airport and very easy and cheap to get to the beautiful historic center of Palma;(1.5 Euro one way): 3) Good value for the money and excellent choices for breakfast and dinner (buffet style), interesting cultural events to spend the evenings in the hotel; 4) Very clean; Thank you

I booked via Agoda, the hotel was amazing, however the sea view was nopt as described by Agoda. If i leant over the balcony i could indeed see a little bit of water, which i guess constitues a sea view, but it was certainly not as i was led to believe on the Agoda website. The hotel hwoever were very accomodating as they get this complaint alot through Agoda bookings.

Me and my mum stayed at this hotel for 4 nights. We wanted to stay somewhere that was easy to get to from the airport and close to all the amenities and the beach. Hotel Roc Linda is a good budget hotel, the rooms were clean and the beds extremely comfortable. I was pleasantly surprised at the breakfast, lots of options for cooked and continental. The staff we really helpful and friendly too. The pool is small but adequate for a dip to keep cool. The hotel was quiet, mostly families and couples so no loud groups which was good. Overall this is a good 3 star hotel and I would recommend it if you're looking for a slightly cheaper option. Me and my mum had a very pleasant stay here.

On our arrival at the check in desk, we were automatically provided with an upgrade room including balcony sea view at no extra cost- this turned out to be an gratefully received gesture as we then had full view of Palma bay and the bright lights beyond.... so a really big thank you ! My partner had developed mobility problems on day of departure from UK but thankfully all the staff we came into contact at the hotel were really helpful...so another big thank you. We had only booked a short 3 night stay at the hotel, but the more than adequate on site facilities including everything provided within the hotel package and immediate environment was to a good standard and easily accessible which suited us just fine. Please be aware-should there be a need to explore beyond the hotel grounds, there are no shops and only a few independent café style bars at low terrain level (the hotel is set up on hill to achieve benefit of bay views below). The hotel cable car style lift was a real blessing for getting down to lower street level and bus stops. All in all everything at the hotel is just perfect for adults and the general mood / atmosphere was of a friendly European mix. Worth 5*'s without a shadow of a doubt and a great place to have a 'chill- out' !

I recently returned from a quick trip for a friend's surprise birthday .... unfortunately I was unable to stay in the Villa with my friends so I searched for accommodation near by ...these apartments were a surprising little find! I thought I'd be sad to be away from my friends but the location and feel of the apartments quickly changed my mind n I enjoyed returning to them... Pros the beach is literally 5mins at the end of the street! It had everything I needed to self cater (with a Lidl around the corner) or a minutes walk to restaurants no matter which direction you walk in. The Port and BelleVue strip are 15mins walk in either direction. Staff are polite and helpful...I felt safe being alone. overall so clean and modern. free WiFi. It's on a main road which is great if staying alone like myself! Cons Pool is quite open to the street (I didn't use it, not in October but I wouldnt have been comfortable to either) would recommend alot more privacy to guests.

This is a big hotel with lot of rooms and so your experience can vary a lot. Although we got ground level room we still got a sea view and it was actually quite nice. Some rooms are just on ground level and view to nothing (trees, gravel, backside of the buildings). Also, the age of the hotel shows. It is not common to find CRT TV in your room and have gym equipment that is labeled Reebok 1998 and feels and looks accordingly. Also the rooms are quite small. Probably the most annoying thing is the Internet access. Come on, guys, it's 2014. If you charge 200€+ per double room per night you should be ashamed to death to charge 8€ extra per day PER DEVICE for internet. On the positive side the location is very good. Remote enough to be quiet and peaceful and still less than 10 minutes walk away from marina, lots of dining possibilities and shopping. Also you can take spectacular walks by seaside, balancing on high cliffs and going from beach to beach. Please note however that the hotel does not have direct access to swimmable beach and you have to take a small walk if you like to swim in Med. I really have to compliment the food in the hotel. Poolside snack bar has more quality per price than most of the places in town and the breakfast buffet selection is good, you get freshly ground coffee and cava and reasonable selection of cheeses and you can have it all outdoors. Really liked it. Overall verdict is that the hotel is above average in overall feel if you manage to get some very good deal for the room. At anything near standard pricing it is definitely not worth the money.

Good hotel in a great location. best thing about it was the friendliness of the staff and breakfast. Had a fright after having a spa one evening when the light went off while i was in the shower, It was pitch black - very scary. The light is on a timer, not long enough! it happened to my husband too!! Door fell of the fridge. The guy came and wedged it back on so hopefully its been fixed or replaced now.

Pros-stylish hotel with great bar and dining areas. The breakfast is really outstanding, never seen such choice and quality. Room spotless-comfy beds, choice of pillows. Spacious with twin beds , desk and sofa. Great quality toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, razor, shaving gel, sewing kit, toothbrush, toothpaste). Bathrobes and slippers in room. All staff very friendly. Had a late flight and hotel provided a courtesy room to shower. Views from pool Terrace are great, overlooking the marina. You can walk into the centre in about 15 minutes or buses stop 100 m from hotel. Number 1 bus direct from airport (5 euros) or taxi about 20 euros. Cons- paid for city view room-view was of some tatty apartments. Asked at reception for proper city view (i.e. View to Palma cathedral etc) was told no. Only other gripe was not enough sunbeds but the lifeguards were great at moving towels when people 'saved' beds so always got one. Pool towels provided. Would definitely recommend.

Our stay at the Bahia de Palma was great. The hotel was a lovely contemporary clean hotel. The staff in particular were great and couldn’t do enough to help. There are a few small changes we felt as a group would have added to our stay. Firstly, tea and coffee in the rooms would of been nice for the mornings where we wanted to sit on the balcony with a coffee before going for breakfast. Also on one day we tried to reserve sunbeds as we had seen the majority of other guests do so. However we came back to fine that our stuff had been moved and a note saying that sunbeds couldn’t be reserved. We would of been fine with this if there wasn’t 30 or so other beds also reserved. It felt inconsistent and there should be one rule for all. Tiny tiny things on a otherwise lovely hotel but just something to consider.

It was super-nice and unforgettable hotel~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I stayed this hotel 1day last week. After I arrived by rental car, I ask something unpleasant to Hotel front office staff. about Parking lot. This hotel have parking lot, but fee is charged. When I hasitated because of parking fee 20?30? euro, bellman came to me very carefully with smile and told me about free parking lot. I have not seen this kind of service mind... As I am also hotelior, I was totally fasinated. From that time, I had question about this hotel. considerate help, eye-contact, service, touch of staffs make us happy. All of circumstances and facilities were perfect and nice~!!! Moreover hotel prepared honeymoon event for us. room service. (Sparkling wine of Spain, dessert of strawberry) It was too luxury and awesome!!! It seems like dream~~~!!! I really recommand this hotel~!!! really~!!! I promised to my wife to come back 10years later~!!!^^ But I don't know... 5years...or 3years... next year!^^*

The stay was fine. It was just a base for my partner and I to stay on a weekend visist to Ibiza. Location was great as it is very close to the harbour and bars, etc. The room it self was clean and had the basics which was handy (if you are planning on eating there, there is a fridge, hob, microwave, etc - we didn't use these, so can't comment how well they functioned!) The only let down was finding a member of staff. We waited about half an hour at the so called reception to be able to check in and get our room key. There is a poster with a number to call for assistance but it didn't work! We were eventially checked in, no problems with getting the key etc. Come check out we didn;t have a clue what we should do, so we just let the key in the room and notified a cleaner. Lo and behold, there was nobody at the desk to check out! Other than that, I would definitely recommend. It can be noisey on an evening/early hours, but what do you expect, it's San Antonio!

We had a good time in Ibiza although there were a few problems with the apartment. the toilet door didn't lock, the balcony door handle kept falling off and the fridge was set at such a jaunty angle, you couldn't have opened bottles in there! The public areas were really nice maintained and the staff were friendly and spoke English well. There wasn't much open around the vicinity as it was so early but it was as expected. Bus fares were cheap and buses on time and reliable so we were able to get around the island.

The place was absolutely awesome! It was gorgeous, the staff were absolutely wonderful, the service couldn't be faulted, and the food and drink was top notch. The only comment that I have that might be construed as the least bit negative is regarding the hotel's location: if you exit the hotel on one side you're on the marina, which is gorgeous and has tons of places to eat and drink, plus you've got a view which is the sort for which one comes to Mallorca. However, if you exit the hotel on the other side, you're in lower middle-class Spain - which is perfectly safe and fine – but then it' a solid 20 minute walk to the old city and downtown, which are the scenic & fun parts of town. One positive note to this, however, is that the hotel is only a 10 minute walk to Castle Bellver, which is situated on a hill near the hotel and definitely worth seeing. Overall, I loved the place, and I would highly recommend it to anybody, it's just a question of where you want to be.

This is an excellent hotel. The staff were all lovely, helpful and friendly and could not do enough. Our room was of a very high standard and was always kept exceptionally clean, the provision of a fridge in the room was an added bonus. The location is extremely central, a few minutes from beach, pubs, restaurants and shops. The airport bus from the airport is very convenient for five euro you are dropped outside the door, get off at the Hotel LInda stop or the next stop which is outside the Hotel Balear. It only takes approx. five to ten minutes. A great pub to visit is the Manchester Pub which is directly across the road from KFC. Darren , Tracey and their Dad run a really good bar. We are Irish and felt totally at home, as did every other nationality. Thanks Lads. The drink is also very reasonably priced. Can Pastillas is a very beautiful area and is ideal if you wish to visit Palma as it is only twenty minutes on the bus and only costs €1.50 each way. If I were to visit Can Pastillas again certainly would stay at the Hotel Balear.
