Hotel Bendinat, Portals Nous

Specify a Mallorcan-style or original-building room for traditional character and quieter bathrooms; choose the modern block for contemporary furnishings.

Request a sea-facing, front-line room for the best Mediterranean views, especially if a terrace or balcony matters.

Choose an upstairs garden room or individual garden suite for character, daylight, and a quieter setting away from the main buildings.

Contact the hotel before booking to discuss the unique room options and request the best match for your preferred view, style, and location.

Claim a pool or sea lounger early, as the pool area and rock platforms become busy.

Try as much of the restaurant menu as possible, including the excellent food served around the pool.

Reserve dinner in advance to secure good seating and a better view at this popular local restaurant.

Choose Bungalow 2 for immediate pool access, but avoid it if privacy and quiet are priorities.

Request suites near the swimming pool for a quieter location.

Consider the penthouse if you want a larger, especially impressive room.

Bring your own hairdryer if you need strong airflow, as the bathroom hairdryer may be underpowered.
