El Arenal hotels

Pros: Really nice apartment, especially bathroom.

Cons: Big kitchen but no plates at all!!! And it wasn’t a mistake. Do not dine there, the most expensive food of all the island. However breakfast ok.

Pros: Excellent staff and facilities beautiful romantic setting. Quite and quaint.

Pros: Our room / suit was excellent as was the whole set of buildings and grounds. Inside the main building the Christmas decorations were unbelievable. We were greeted by Tim at the start of our stay who showed us around the facilities and to our room. He also organised cycles for us the following day, which was really appreciated. We enjoyed our cycle ride around the quiet country roads, looking at the Mallorcan countryside. We have commented on a couple of small areas for improvement to help improve the experience for others in the future, but it certainly didn't spoil our overall impression and enjoyment. We would definitely revisit. Thank you

Cons: We felt the whole evening meal experience was too rushed. As soon as we had finished one course, the other appeared. This might have suited some guests but we would have preferred to take our time a little more. The conversations between the waitress and other guests in the restaurant and the bar were very loud, which didn't help to create a relaxing atmosphere. Some low volume background music would have helped create a nicer atmosphere during the evening meal.

Pros: Excellent accommodation in the country. Large comfortable room. Friendly helpful staff. Made breakfast early to catch early morning flight.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The location. The garden.

Cons: The host was so welcoming and helpful when we arrived. but during our stay we would have liked more access to staff rather than having to go in search of them. The hotel is casual in its presentation of itself. A huge drawback was the fact of no tea making facilities in the room. We could have asked for tea but the dining room was always closed until lunch or dinner.Being so isolated we were dependent on the hotel for everything. My bedroom/ bathroom was in need of update.However I'm sure other bedrooms would be fine. I would hav expected tables to be set for breakfast rather than the guests expected to do it. I would class Puig de ros de alt as a B/B rather than a Hotel. l

Pros: Location is peaceful and calm. The old style villa is absolutely charming with so many beautiful details. Swimming pool and area around it is gorgeous and there are usually very few people using the pool at the same time. Breakfast has lot of variety. Evening dinner that is optional may seem a bit expensive but it is definitely worth having at least once during your stay. Both food and atmosphere are really nice. Both owners of the property and entire staff are very warm and caring. Beaches close to the property (10-15 min ride) Cala Blava and Cala Pi are nice. We recommend restaurant Bella Italia in Llucmajor and Es Rebost and carrer de Rambla en Palma. Great food and decent prices. For people with kids we recommend Marinen Land and Katmandu Park that are 30-40 minutes ride from the property. All together we enjoyed very much and looking forward to come again in future.

Pros: Everything. The team is amazing. All was perfect!

Pros: Food was amazing staff soo nice nothing was a problem

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Probably it has the best Spa facilities in Mallorca. You save a lot of different pools and showers. Yu can feel the staff cares about you and they are happy working here. They do their best to make you confortable. The room was really big with nice balcony. Kettle and Minibar. Everything was spotless. The lobby bar has music band at night. Really recommended.

Cons: The buffet has a lot of food but focused con quantity than quality. Sometimes the food was cold or overcooked. A lot of fritters, oily and fatty food. I really missed healthy/Mediterranean food like Escalivada, Paella, Gazpacho, veggie lentils stew (without ginger or Curry!) or even Tortilla/Veggie Quiche. I think it should have a better a balance and creativity in the Menu, specially if you decide going to a SPA. After several days I felt like eating in a regular restaurant buffet. The breakfast was the same. Pity for this kind of Hotel.

Pros: Breakfast was excellent with lots of choice. Room was huge and very comfortable.The spa facilities were amazing.

Cons: Soundproofing between rooms was a little poor. Naked people in the spa area

Pros: Everything. Great staff and facilities. Love the rooms and spa. I will return again. It is one of the best hotels I've stayed at in both Mallorca and elsewhere.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The room was nice and beds very comfortable. We had a lounge with kitchenette and fridge which made our week long stay more enjoyable. My partner found the cooked breakfast selection to be excellent. There were also cold meats and cheese, muesli, fresh yogurts, fruit, cakes and good selection of breads available. The TV channels available were good we made use of BB1 & BBC2 plus the german Eurosport which meant we were able to watch US Tennis open late in the evenings. The outdoor pool & the Spa facilities were very good. We were able to play tennis and mini golf free of charge equipment provided by the hotel. Short walk to seafront, and stops for express bus 25 into Palma ( 1Euro 50 cents) and express bus 21 bus to airport (5 Euros)

Cons: No poached eggs available and no cereal flakes - So for me breakfast was not so good. The pool was only open 10 am till 6pm - If you were out sightseeing there was no opportunity to use the beautiful pool. We did have a problem with the air conditioning not working correctly in our room, fortunately they were able to provide us with another room of the same standard on the second day of our stay. Breakfast can be eaten outdoors but can be spoilt by people smoking on the table next to you - it may be that a designated area for smokers is required. For some reason the other UK channel available on the TV was Radio 2 red button with no sound a total waste of channel option - Hotel needs to supply a different genuine UK TV channel.

Pros: The hotel and facilities are great. Breakfast up on the roof, swimming pools, spa, clean, chilled, great location not far from the beach, very nice and helpful reception staff. Highly recommended.

Pros: Location, pool areas,

Cons: The food service from the bistro bar during the day was awful, we had to wait over an hour for a a sandwich on 3 occasions.

Pros: Very clean, staff incredibly family and relaxed. Modern, clean and reception smelt great. Food was very good

Cons: The pool was very cold

Pros: See above

Cons: Its hard 2 dislike or find fault its Spanish area just 5 mins 2 beach good Taxi service 2 Palma Apt 18e hilly streets in places quite in late Oct suits me 60 + Hotel food excellent something new every day my 10 visit 2 Majorca nice flight times Ryanair Shannon Tom Limerick

Pros: The hotel and our room was very clean and had a nice fragnance. Great value for money! The food was great and the skybar as well -amazing view! I would definetly choose this place to stay, close to party streets, close to the beach but still quiet area. We were very satisfied and we highly recommend this hotel! :)

Cons: Unfortunately the waiting time for the check-in was a bit too long, they tried to make it better with serving some lemonade for the waiting guests and with an ultra friendly and kind attitude of the receptionist, but it was still way too long. It can of course happen, that we just came in a wrong time, but also when we were checking out, we had the same impression :/

Pros: Food - delicious and big selection Bus station in front of the hotel

Cons: Just two small lifts - still full.

Pros: Rooms, food, cleanliness

Cons: Nothing really but the actual area street wise could be better maintained. Not a Hotel issue but a council one

Pros: Breakfest and dinner are excellent there

Pros: We were on half board, had late arrival and they left the restaurant open with a plate with a selection from the buffet that you could warm up after, that was a great thing! both breakfast and dinner are of an amazing selection. Staff is a 10 so nice, and smiling all the time , few minutes walk to the sea front and nothing to complain about, I would definetly repeat

Cons: If I have to say something, pillows, but it is very personal so maybe someone else loves them!

Pros: The staff were polite, friendly and helpful where possible. There was a wide range of food options for both breakfast and dinner. What's more, every meal had a selection of food that was made to order, right in front of you. Meals were tasty - self serve buffet style. Good value for money. The beds were very comfortable. The room was a decent size. The foyer was well designed.

Cons: The bedsheet had a stain. The plates, cups and cutlery for breakfast and dinner were often dirty. Note dinner drinks are NOT included in half board... and they are pricey. 50 minutes away from palma. Bathroom very intimate - clear frosted faux walls so you can see and hear almost everything your travelling buddy is doing. Not a great view - either people sunbathing or a wall..

Pros: Hotel was good. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Area was very run down

Cons: Breakfast was not very good. Bacon like rubber, cooked within an inch of its life. Eggs were mostly cook but some were not completely cooked. Pool was closed in, claustrophobic.

Cons: The street where was the hotel is little dirty and noisy .

Pros: Bedroom was really spacious and furnished in minimalistic style. Breathtaking Port and sea view from our balcony. Bed was really comfortable and a real big double bed (not two twins bed together).

Cons: Low quality breakfast. Really slow elevator. Room was nice but bathroom was not really comfortable, shower curtain was missing and every time we took a shower, water was all over the pavement. Sink was clogged up. The cleaning lady opened owr room in order to clean it while we were still sleeping.

Pros: Very, clean and nice room. Polite and helpful personnel:)

Cons: It was a little bit too loud.

Pros: Location was great! The receptionist obliged to our request to book a cab. Interior of the hotel was nice. Extra towel for the beach, extra sun screen lotion show their care for the visitor in general.

Cons: Only one member of staff working past 5pm for the whole hotel and our bathroom flooded and nobody sorted it out

Pros: Roof Top Pool Area and view

Cons: Our view was of slym flats accross the road. Promised a room with a view from their messaging. On booking in the receptionist said xome back in the morning and you can change your room. That receptionist was lovely and helpful, Receptionist the next morning was the total opposite. Cut off mid sentance I was told " you can't change your room, all rooms havethe same view".....

Pros: Breakfast super !!! but no parking for rented car :( Anyway it was nice holidays :)

Pros: Breakfast was super. Only criticism was the quality of the coffee. Broad range of food. Hot was hot, and selection was good. Also the dining room and terrace were very comfortable. Good time range also, 8 to 11.

Cons: Lifts were very slow. Brochure in the room said rooftop pool opened at 10 am in one language and 11 in another. On the day we chose to use it, it did not open until 11.16 am. Queuing on the stairs. On checkout day keys stopped working at 11am locking us out of our room. If we had not discovered this early it could have delayed our departure planned for 11.50.

Pros: Prior booking I read reviews of many hostel in El Arenal. Some were beyond absurd other were ok, but this hostel as you may see from overall glance has more good reviews than bad. The staff is very friendly and there for you in case of help or a question. The rooms are clean, we got room with view on the beach so was good plus. As far as I understood the rooms are cleaned daily during morning hours. We had two heavy bags to bring to our room on 4th floor. Didnt complain because it is not in our nature to but one of the staff member was very considered and offered us lower floor. The hostel offers free breakfast every morning that can help you to be full for at least 5 hours. Nights are quite even though the hostel located in somewhat busy district (the German district). Definitely would recommend travellers traveling on budget!
