Choose a higher-floor room, preferably above the third floor, for better harbour views, less road noise, and more breeze.
What guests mention
Guests tend to rate this as a good-value Palma base with a notably friendly atmosphere, attractive harbour vistas and an enjoyable pool area. Clean, roomy accommodation and a well-liked breakfast are frequent positives, while buses and taxis make getting into the centre straightforward. The trade-off is that parts of the hotel can feel dated, and not every stay receives the same level of attentive service. A few visitors also consider food and drink in the restaurant pricier than expected.

Top tips
Request a sea-, port-, or bay-facing room with a balcony for sunset views and views of the marinas and cruise ships.
Request a high-floor room—ideally above reception or on floors 8–9—for better sea and bay views; avoid the lower building if views matter.
Pay extra for a superior room for better views, sunny balconies, a fridge, and sometimes a bath or safety box.
Request a room in the main building for easier luggage access, better Wi-Fi, and elevated views over the port.
Prepare for steep hills and stairs around the hotel, especially when walking back from Port Pi or Palma; check accessibility if needed.
Avoid the annexe across the road if you want better views, lighting, condition, Wi-Fi, and fewer steps with luggage.
Request a pool-facing room for views across the pool and harbour, including passing cruise liners.
Expect to pay for Wi-Fi, which may be limited to the pool or lobby and can be slow; the main building may provide better access.
Contact the hotel directly through live chat or email before arrival to request early check-in, early departure, upgrades, or other needs.
Choose a corner suite for extra space, privacy, sunshine, and views.
Request a sea-view room when booking.
Upgrade to a superior room for superb marina views; one upgrade was reported at €20 per night.
Request a room ending in 32, including 332 or 432, for a larger corner layout.
Request a front-facing corner room for extra space, a large balcony, and a fridge.
Book a junior suite—it is worth the additional cost.
Request a recently renovated room for a fresher-looking interior.
Bring tea, coffee, and a kettle because rooms may provide no kettle or only a kettle without supplies.
Use the taxi rank beside the hotel for reasonably priced, metered rides.
Consider the “Dancing on the Roof” room for especially impressive views.
Ask about annexe rooms on levels 2–4 if staying there, as the fourth-floor rooms sit directly below the boardwalk.
Take bus 47 into Palma and bus 46 back; both stop near the hotel and connect with the city centre.
Do not pay extra for a view if you are satisfied with any outlook, as one tip says every room has one.
Consider room 604 for a good view.
Walk about five minutes to Port Pi shopping centre for everyday supplies, or allow roughly 25 minutes to reach central Palma.
Consider room 504 for a good bay view.
Avoid room 250 if balcony access matters, as its central pillar may obstruct the balcony.
Expect powdered eggs at breakfast.
Request air conditioning when booking because it may not be available in every room.
Ask for a room with a shower rather than an open bath if you prefer more privacy from your roommate.
Pay for a harbour room if marina views are important to you.
Request a bay-view room for views across the bay.
Book an executive room on a high floor for a jacuzzi bath and fridge.
Request a room overlooking the pool when choosing between the hotel’s three buildings.
Book suites 306, 406, or 506 for dual-aspect views.
Choose a larger room for powerful showers and a whirlpool tub.
Book a Jacuzzi room for the best harbour views.
Ask for a fridge so you can keep drinks, snacks, and wine for the balcony.
Request a quiet room if you are sensitive to traffic noise from the main sea-side road.
Ask for a discount voucher to improve the overall value.
Choose a lower floor if you want to minimize reliance on the reportedly poor lift.
Avoid the Annex when choosing your room.
Ask for a room away from the building site.
Pay extra for a sea-and-pool-view room if the outlook is worth the upgrade.
Ask specifically about room 206 for a great view.
Choose the pool level if you want to minimise the number of steps.
Ask reception for larger towels if the standard towels are insufficient.
Consider room 432 for a superior room with a Jacuzzi bath or room 307 for a standard sea-view room.
Bring earplugs, avoid paying for the room safe, and learn a little Spanish.
Eat at the small cafés nearby.
Rent a bicycle to explore Palma.
Use the direct bus service outside the hotel for Palma city centre; waits may be as short as 10 minutes.
About Hotel Amic Horizonte
Hotel Amic Horizonte is the kind of Palma stay that makes you slow down and look out to sea. Its appeal lies in the elevated panorama: the Bay of Palma, the harbour, Bellver Castle and the Tramuntana mountains unfold from its terraces, while a relaxed, unfussy atmosphere gives the place more personality than a standard city hotel. Balconies are especially worth seeking out for lingering over the view.
Set above the port near the Porto Pi area, the hotel is a practical choice for a short break combining city time with poolside downtime. Palma’s old town and cathedral are within easy reach by bus, taxi or car, while nearby shops, including Carrefour, are useful for everyday essentials. The setting particularly suits couples, harbour-view fans and travellers who prefer a quieter base rather than being in the middle of the late-night centre.
Guests regularly single out the welcoming feel of the team, the clean, generously sized rooms and the pool as highlights. Breakfast also earns plenty of approval, and many feel the hotel offers fair value for Palma. There are a few caveats: some interiors show their age, service can occasionally be uneven, and restaurant pricing does not convince everyone. Still, for a scenic, laid-back stay with a strong sense of place, it has a loyal following.
