A very pleasant stay with wonderful multilingual and friendly staff. The hotel appears to have been extended into numerous surrounding properties, which makes for a bit of a maze, which adds to its charm. Your room is cleaned daily by lovely staff. Very good value for money.

i personally did not enjoy this stay because i was not aware it was a party location. there are many people who come here to drink and party at all hours of the day and night. quiet hours are not respected. do not go out after 11pm, it’s a wild scene…not the fun kind. front desk staff was nice. cleaning lady not so very nice. there was a creepy crawly in my bed. the elevator barely works, be prepared to walk flights of stairs regularly. i wouldn’t recommend to stay in this hotel. hopefully things are different for newcomers. i will not be returning.

Disliked: Amenities
Overall this property was average and "felt" more like an upmarket Hostel than a Hotel. The hotel itself on 1st impression seems quite modern. The hotel was currently undergoing some repairs with workmen on some mornings operating a numatic drill at about 09:00. The hotel corridors seemed dusty all the time and there was noise all day and night. Pool facilities although boasting of 4 pools, these are little more than paddling pools. On the plus side the roof top bar was lovely along with the staff who worked in it, especially the older fella whose name I cannot remember. For the price we paid the rooms were fine other than inward facing to a 24hr a day access courtyard however I spoke to some who had paid an awful lot more the same deal. The area pictured from the hotel does not reflect what you see on the ground, it's close to the beach but not on it, it is also a bit more run down than the Palma end of the strip and can feel quite unsafe later at nights. If you're looking a place to kip after a session or a short stay I would say this is more than ideal but for a relaxing break it's not a great shout

Do not recommend

This is a youth hostel: if you want a hotel experience do not book here. There are hundreds of noisy young people here and the walls are thin, you will hear everything. The place is decidedly no frills (no hand soap in toilets, no towels for the pool, tv remote only by deposit). Many things appear to be broken or out of order, and the staff appear over-worked. Not a relaxing vacation experience.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room has a strong chlorine smell that made it impossible for us to sleep due to the cleaning products. The bedding has stains, and the biggest issue was finding a parking spot; we spent over two hours searching with no available parking. Additionally, there was constant noise and disturbance from some disrespectful guests, with shouting at all hours, even in the middle of the night, and doors being slammed without regard for others. We were startled awake several times by these sounds. When it rained, the bathroom ceiling started leaking water. Honestly, this was the worst stay we’ve experienced, but the area around the hotel somewhat eased the disappointment.
