Choose a high-floor pool-view room—floors 4+ improve views, while the sixth floor avoids rooftop-bar noise and central-lobby rooms ease lift access.
What guests mention
Guests tend to rate this as a smart, spotless and well-equipped hotel in a particularly convenient part of Playa de Palma. The beach, promenade, local bars and nightlife are all close, while the pools, roomy accommodation and broad buffet choice win frequent praise. Service is usually seen as warm and capable, though it can slow down when the hotel is busy. Some travellers also report noise from neighbouring guests, and a few feel that supplementary charges take the shine off the overall value.
What guests who stayed here recommend
Real advice grouped by theme — drawn from guest reviews of Hipotels Gran Playa de Palma.
Top tips
Avoid sea-view rooms if you value sleep; the Mega Park or nightclub may obstruct views and create noise.
Book a Junior Suite for a larger room, stunning views, and a 40m² terrace; choose a high floor when possible.
Request a garden-facing room away from Mega Park for quieter nights, but expect less sunlight.
Park at the hotel or free on the street; the garage costs €16 per day.
Take the bus from the stop outside to Palma; services run every 10 minutes, 24/7, and cost €2.
Prepare for a lively party atmosphere around the beach and nearby German bars.
Request a first-floor room for accessibility and easier stair access; elevators can be busy.
Check which side of the hotel faces the nightclub before booking, especially when considering a sea-view room.
Choose the first or last dinner sitting because the restaurant gets extremely busy.
Book a top-floor ocean-view room if you plan to spend most of your time inside.
Walk carefully around the pool because the wet floor becomes extremely slippery.
Use the spa area during your stay.
Take a boat tour, cycle to Palma, or rent a car to explore Mallorca’s beaches.
Take a taxi from the airport; the journey takes approximately 10 minutes.
Check sauna etiquette beforehand because nude sauna use may occur.
Prepare for live entertainment until 11pm.
Watch the sunset through the viewing windows on the sixth floor.
Visit the sister hotel Palace and its top-floor bar for panoramic views.
Buy poolside drinks at the small shop opposite the hotel’s pool and garden entrance.
Reserve a sunbed early because they are extremely difficult to secure later.
Try Amrum Beach Bar for food and friendly service.
Get unlimited hot drinks at breakfast or pay approximately €4 for drinks in the bar lounge; rooms lack tea and coffee.
Choose the north side instead of a pool-side room if you prefer less noise.
Use designated smoking areas because smoking is not allowed inside rooms.
Request a beachside view if that outlook matters more than avoiding nightlife noise.
Walk to the beach in approximately two minutes.
Ask for room 317 if you want excellent sun exposure.
Request a high-floor room in positions 01–12 for a sunny evening balcony.
Choose a street-facing room for afternoon and evening sun.
Ask staff to resolve any problems; they handle issues quickly.
About Hipotels Gran Playa de Palma
Hipotels Gran Playa de Palma is a polished, contemporary resort with the scale and facilities to suit both easy-going family breaks and couples’ escapes. Bright, stylish interiors, spacious accommodation and a choice of pool areas give it a smart, well-kept feel, while the roof-level bar adds a more grown-up spot for an evening drink. With 368 rooms, it feels lively rather than boutique, especially in peak season.
The hotel sits in Playa de Palma, around 200 metres from the beach and its long promenade. Restaurants, bars and nightlife are close at hand, including the energetic Megapark area, while buses make it straightforward to explore elsewhere in Mallorca. It is a practical choice for travellers who want beach access without being directly on the seafront, as well as families who value pools, buffet dining and room to spread out.
Guests regularly single out the immaculate presentation, attractive rooms and generous food selection, particularly at breakfast. Staff are widely described as welcoming and professional, and many appreciate the pool facilities, sunbeds and handy beach proximity. A few visitors mention delays during busy periods, occasional noise from other guests, and added costs that can make the stay feel less good value than expected.
