Iberostar Waves Pinos Park, Font de Sa Cala

Book a sea-view room, preferably with a balcony; it is quieter, gets morning sun, and overlooks the bay.

Choose Block 3, particularly near the beach, and avoid Blocks 1 and 2 for a quieter stay.

Request a room away from the evening entertainment area, especially with small children, because shows can continue until midnight.

Avoid rooms facing the road or front street because traffic and the hotel opposite can be noisy.

Reserve a sunbed early, or look by the table-tennis tables for spare loungers.

Choose an upper-floor room for less noise.

Request room 3117 for a ground-floor seaside terrace overlooking the grassy garden, with a partial sea view.

Request room 3228 for its excellent sea view.

Choose a ground-floor pool-facing room if easy access and supervision for small children matter most.

Avoid a ground-floor room facing the outside pool unless convenient access for children is your priority.

Choose a first-floor room rather than a pool-floor room for less noise.

Shop at the supermarket farther up the road for cheaper water and supplies.

Check that your party can manage the hotel’s stairs before booking, particularly with small children.

Budget refundable deposits for the safe and beach or pool towels.

Bring a travel kettle if you want one, because rooms do not include kettles.

Bring medication with you because the nearest pharmacy is in Cala Ratjada.

Use the children’s pools when the main pool is busy.

Walk about five minutes to the beach-volleyball camp court.

Download the hotel app to check the daily activities schedule.

Expect limited street parking, although a space can usually be found.

Allow extra time at Palma Airport for your return journey because August passport-control delays can be severe.

Use buses from the hotel to make local excursions easier.

Take the bus to the nearest town; services run about hourly until approximately 21:00, and the town is also walkable.

Head to the nearby sandy beach for an easy day by the sea.

Plan for a remote location far from major attractions and nightlife.

Book directly through the Iberostar website to reserve your room online before arrival.

Book the all-inclusive option because it offers good value.

Choose a garden-view double room for three people; it provides plenty of space.

Choose a pool-side room if you prefer its view to a sea view.

Book a family room if you need spacious accommodation with pool and beach views.

Choose a southwest-side room nearer the sea for greater quiet.
