Request a main-pool-view room for lovely views, distant sea views, and afternoon or evening sun on the balcony.
Guests tend to rate this hotel highly for its convenient position near Sa Coma’s beach, dining and shops, along with consistently clean spaces and welcoming staff. Modern, comfortable rooms, attractive pool areas, ample loungers and the evening activities are regular highlights; some also enjoy extras such as mini golf and bike hire. It has a cheerful, busy resort feel that works particularly well for families. On the other hand, larger groups may find certain rooms short on space, entertainment noise can carry, and not everyone feels the price represents equally strong value.
