What guests mention

self catering sea view next year steep hill family holiday one bedroom apartment bar staff pool area kids club snack bar blue bar lovely hotel

Guests tend to rate this as a good-value choice in a particularly handy spot between Palmanova and Magaluf, close to the beach and with impressive bay views. Spacious rooms, pleasant staff, pools and family entertainment earn frequent praise, as do the loungers and children’s facilities. The atmosphere can be relaxed but busy in peak periods. A minority report inconsistent housekeeping or service, occasional upkeep issues and crowded communal areas, while the steep hill is worth considering.

Guest guide

Your stay, step by step

Advice from guests who actually stayed at Leonardo Royal Hotel Mallorca Palmanova Bay — the single most helpful tip for each part of your trip, in the order you'll need it, from booking to your last morning.

Booking

Book a sea-view room with a balcony, preferably away from the main pool, for bay, yacht, and coastal views.

Transport

Ask reception to help find parking; the hotel has no car park, though street parking may be available nearby.

Rooms

Request a sea-view room; most rooms face the bay, and the balcony outlook is excellent, though lower floors may receive less sun.

Dining

Choose bed and breakfast or eat out instead of booking all-inclusive or half board, which may offer poor value.

Pool & Beach

Claim a sunlounger early with a towel, especially when the hotel is busy.

Activities

Join the hotel entertainment, which includes good shows and family activities.

Location

Plan for a steep uphill walk between the hotel, beach, and promenade, especially if you have mobility difficulties.

Service

Ask reception to move you if your room is unsuitable; a sea-view room may become available without an extra charge.

Tips & Tricks

Bring earplugs because thin walls and late arrivals can make the hotel noisy.

About Leonardo Royal Hotel Mallorca Palmanova Bay

Leonardo Royal Hotel Mallorca Palmanova Bay brings a fresh Mediterranean look to the edge of Palma Bay, with a relaxed, sociable feel that works equally well for couples and families. Studios and apartments are designed for easy holiday living, many facing the water, while the chill-out spaces make the most of those wide bay views. There is a poolside rhythm here too, with a snack bar, Blue Bar and entertainment giving the days and evenings a livelier edge.

Set between Palmanova and Magaluf, the hotel puts the beach within easy reach and makes a useful base for guests who want both calm seaside time and nearby restaurants, bars and activity. Families have a kids’ pool, playground, mini club and mini disco to lean on, while apartment-style accommodation suits self-catering stays. Do note that the approach involves a fairly steep hill, which may be less convenient for anyone with limited mobility or pushchairs.

Guests regularly mention the roomy, well-kept apartments, sea-facing outlooks and welcoming bar staff. Many return for the family-friendly atmosphere, plentiful loungers and energetic entertainment team, and appreciate fresh towels and frequent servicing. Feedback is not flawless, though: some visitors have found standards of cleaning, maintenance and service uneven, particularly when the pool and shared areas are busy.
