Valentin Reina Paguera, Peguera

Book a sea-view room on a higher floor, ideally floors 8–11 or at least above floor 4, for the best bay views.

Request a pool-view room, preferably on a higher floor, for a pleasant outlook and balcony.

Book the main hotel building rather than the rear annex, where rooms may have thinner walls and less attractive views.

Bring tea, coffee, and drinking water, especially for a nighttime arrival, as rooms may not supply them and dinner water is not provided.

Budget extra for drinks with meals, as they are generally charged separately; breakfast drinks are included.

Choose a room away from the pool and entertainment areas if you want peace and quiet.

Use the local buses to reach Palma and nearby resorts, though a taxi may cost about the same for Palma.

Book at least breakfast, or preferably half-board, because the food is high quality and dinner offers good value.

Check the hotel’s schedule for the Thursday white party and bring white clothing.

Take the bus to Palma early, before mid-morning crowds make it very busy.

Bring a beach towel or ask reception for one free before hiring or buying one.

Take the A11 bus from the nearby stop for direct airport connections and buses to Palma.

Avoid corner rooms if space matters, as they are notably compact.

Head to the seafront for a pretty beach and reasonably priced lunches by the sea.

Choose this adults-only hotel if you prefer an adult-focused setting.

Re-check your booking confirmation and nights carefully, especially package duration.

Compare dinner prices online and at check-in, as the daily rate was reported as €18 online versus €14 at check-in.

Sit at a breakfast table with orange placemats rather than a table runner.

Try the Malgrat Bar and Restaurant for good food and views.

Ask about gluten-free options if needed, as the hotel caters well for coeliac diets.

Check balcony-room details carefully before booking.

Ask for better pillows, since the standard pillows may be uncomfortable.

Try a renovated room on the 10th or 11th floor.

Ask for room 408, 409, or 410 if you want a particularly recommended room.

Request rooms 410, 411, or 412 on the fourth floor for a sea view without being too high.

Attend bingo for a chance to win bottles of sangria.

Ask the hotel team whenever you need help, as they can direct you to someone who can assist.

Ask reception about late checkout the night before departure, rather than waiting until the day itself.

Ask for a room away from the cleaners’ cupboard, as cleaning may start around 7 a.m.

Hire beach sunbeds and umbrellas on the high street for a couple of euros per day.

Arrive by 9:30–10:00 a.m. for a better chance of getting a pool sunbed.

Take a taxi to other resorts when seeking more entertainment, as fares are reasonable.

Compare airport car-hire prices, as renting at Palma airport may be cheaper than hiring locally.
