4/10 Fair

Poor stay this time round
Requested a high floor, got a first floor. The room was situated directly above the entrance to the car park and overlooked the rubbish bins. Fridge didn't work and the room has two large pillars in the middle of the room which is not the best position. Double room with single occupancy but still got two twin beds. Stayed at the hotel several times, and I'm also a Riu Class member. Expected a lot better. The night previous stayed at the Riu Festival where the room had a double bed, a fridge that worked, a higher floor and no view of the dustbins. So Riu can offer better facilities - it was just rubbish this time. I should have stayed at the Festival for the extra night.

Fab hotel Clean and tidy A short taxi ride from the airport and regular bus service to palma. The food was exceptional massive choice and often something different every day. The hotel is a short walk to the beach and has a pool. No gym or spa. There seemed to be a lot of drunk germans about though

Amazing hotel, very clean with lovely rooms. Our stay was half-board and the food was fantastic with buffet style service, could eat as much as you wanted! The dining staff were lovely and very attentive. Compliments must go to the chefs! Cleaning service was great with friendly housemaid staff. A special thank-you to the housemaid who arranged for an extra pillow after I had asked the reception three times with no joy. Should have gone straight to the housemaid. Only downsides were the hotel next door could be a bit noisy but our stay was during Euro 24 so this could have been a factor. Also no iron available as stated in the hotel room information. On the whole 10 out of 10!

Excellent
Really lovely staff - on reception and in the restaurant and bars. I checked-in really late and out really early with no problem at all. Housekeeping great too - did the room while I was at breakfast. Loved the buffets. Great location for the beach - you get some party goers but I quite liked that atmosphere and i never lost any sleep from them. Less than 10 minutes and €20 to the airport, less than an hour and €2 to palma city - and the bus stop is nearby too.

As an extra short notice holiday this was perfect. Reduced crowds enabled us to see the sights and visit locations that otherwise would be challenging logistically in high season. Can't pick the weather which was changeable however there was enough good weather to make the whole experience enjoyable
