Whala!fun, El Arenal

Whala!fun is a bright, sociable mid-range stay in El Arenal, with a polished, contemporary feel that suits travellers who want their hotel to be part of the holiday rather than simply a place to sleep. Its standout feature is the roof terrace: a compact pool, loungers and sky-level bar create an easy-going spot for a swim, a drink and a little downtime above the bustle below.

Set close to the beach, the hotel puts guests within easy reach of El Arenal’s restaurants, bars and holiday atmosphere, while a nearby bus stop is useful for exploring further around Majorca. It is especially well suited to couples, friends on a long weekend and anyone planning a short, lively beach break. Bed-and-breakfast guests will find it a convenient base for eating out locally.

Guests regularly describe the property as very clean, well maintained and welcoming, with housekeeping receiving plenty of appreciation for spotless rooms. Staff, particularly at the bar, are often singled out for their friendly, helpful manner. The rooftop area and handy position are major highlights, although some visitors note early sounds from cleaning and occasional slower moments of service. A few also feel the immediate neighbourhood has a busier, less tranquil character than the hotel itself.
