Request a sea-view room, preferably a superior room, and pay the supplement if needed—the bay views and sunsets are worth it.
What guests mention
Guests are particularly fond of the hotel’s waterfront position, with views towards Sa Dragonera, a tranquil atmosphere and the sea audible from many areas. The refreshed design, pleasant rooms and generally welcoming feel earn frequent praise, while the pool, wellness facilities and beachside drinks add to the experience. Practical comments often mention in-room fridges and tea facilities. Some visitors recommend having a car for wider island exploring, and it is sensible to clarify beach sunbed arrangements and any daily charges in advance.

What guests who stayed here recommend
Real advice grouped by theme — drawn from guest reviews of Universal Hotel Aquamarin.
Unload at the hotel, then use nearby car parks rather than searching for street parking; a €5 lot is about 3 minutes away and free spaces may be available.
Reserve hotel sunbeds before arrival or at check-in; daily and weekly reservations are available.
Choose a tower room for the best views, but confirm it faces the sea because not all tower rooms do.
Reserve beach-club beds or layouts on arrival; first-row places sell out quickly and cost extra.
Choose a first-floor sea-view room for a large balcony or patio with sunbeds, loungers, and an umbrella.
Choose a ground-floor studio if stairs or heavy luggage are a concern, as the studios opposite the hotel have no lift.
Avoid Aquavilla rooms if you need a lift; they are older, small, and have no elevator.
Use street parking only as a fallback; it is safe nearby but scarce and busy by the beach.
Choose a room in the round section of the hotel for a larger room and views of the beach and surroundings.
Use the entertainment at both the hotel and Aparthotel Don Camillo.
Book the taxi transfer recommended by the hotel.
Request a third-floor room for good views.
Request rooms 110–118 for sea views and larger balconies with space for two loungers and a parasol.
Request room 311 for a balcony and sea view.
Consider a sixth-floor room for amazing views and larger bathrooms.
Request a high-floor room for elevated views.
Visit the gym outside the busy periods before breakfast and dinner, as it is small.
About Universal Hotel Aquamarin
Universal Hotel Aquamarin feels made for Mallorca’s quieter side: a polished four-star boutique stay where pale wood, textured natural fibres and white ceramics keep the mood light and Mediterranean. Its recent redesign opens the hotel towards the water, so terraces, pool time and meals come with Sa Dragonera’s dramatic silhouette and the changing colour of the sea. The Beach Club, wellness area with treatments, and cocktail service give it enough indulgence for a proper switch-off without losing Sant Elm’s relaxed village character.
Set between Sant Elm’s two sandy coves on Majorca’s south-west coast, it is especially appealing for couples, families and anyone who prefers calm coastal days to a busy resort scene. Sea-facing rooms are the obvious draw, while the pool is a handy alternative to the beach. A hire car makes it easy to explore nearby Andratx and beyond, though the immediate appeal is simply being able to walk out for a swim, a stroll and a seafront meal.
Guests regularly single out the sea views, peaceful setting and the soothing sound of waves. They also appreciate the attractive rooms and friendly atmosphere, with details such as fridges and tea-making facilities coming up in practical comments. Beach sunbed arrangements are worth checking before settling in for the day.
