Amazonas Hotel, El Arenal

Pay extra for a sea-view room — it offers the best outlook and avoids some noisy street-facing views.

Avoid front or street-facing rooms, especially those overlooking San Bartomeu, because traffic, music, and nightlife can continue until about 4am.

Request a room on the third floor or higher, preferably one of the top two floors, for better views and less nighttime noise.

Request the newer or refurbished block for better air conditioning and updated bathrooms.

Ask for a room in the main building near reception rather than the side building.

Confirm that your room has air conditioning before arrival, as some rooms may not have it.

Request a pool-facing or rear room for a quieter stay.

Walk to the beach in about five minutes.

Avoid economy rooms in the three-storey annex.

Request room 303 for a quiet sea-view option.

Budget separately for drinks with your half-board dinner.

Book half or full board for good-value buffet meals with plenty of choice.

Check the pool’s opening hours before planning your swim.

Hire paddleboards near the hotel for about €10 per hour.

Take bus 25 from El Arenal to Palma.

Choose another hotel if you want children’s entertainment or a quieter atmosphere.

Park near the tennis courts, then walk about five minutes to the hotel.

Visit Marineland for a day out.

Bring mosquito repellent, especially if your room is near a quieter road.

Keep your door card away from your mobile phone to prevent the magnetic strip from being wiped.

Ask for a quieter room at check-in.

Ask to be moved if noisy neighbours disturb your sleep.

Avoid the first and fourth floors if possible.

Avoid rooms 339 and 340 because they may overlook brick walls.

Avoid rooms 214–217 and 314–317 if you need uninterrupted sleep.
