This is a wonderful location with great services and facilities. The staff make your stay exceptional and particularly in the Restaurant where Marco and Tony made our evening meals most pleasant.
The cleaners and hotel staff keep the rooms and ground immaculate and are always happy to stop and speak to guests to check they are comfortable. We have stayed here before and are also due to return with our entire family later in June and July.
Great team and first class hospitality!

This was our first time staying at the hotel. Previously we have only done lunch. Even though I think the menu could be more exciting, the food is truly great. The reception service is also quite nice, but at the restaurant I did find some cheekiness that was later compensated for.

They have a great wine/drink selection and the breakfast was also good, even though there was some issue with dated cheese at the morning buffet.

The rooms are big, beds ar comfortable and the view is quite amazing. The spa is small, but massages great!

The location of this hotel, if you want to be a bit off from Palma (city), but closer to places such as Puerto portals, well if so - yes book this hotel!

The service could be a little bit more attentive to the guests that have the sunbeds on the cliffs, but this is just minor since the staff who worked there were really great.

Well, we loved it and we are def. coming back

Great location and been there 3 years in a row. The menu at the restaurant has never changed once, the service (mostly of the management) is mediocre to say the best and the fact that you need to enter a bribing scheme to get sea view seating for dinner is a bit ridiculous. Rooms need a serious overhaul; guests reserving sun beds before sunrise clearly lack any etiquette 😅

This place is so beautiful, My husband and I came here for our honeymoon and it didn’t disappoint. The staff were helpful and kind, always saying hello and couldn’t do enough for us. Dinner and breakfast were excellent! Thank you for a lovely stay we look forward to returning in the future.

Location is amazing
Super view
Truffle dessert is fantastic
Service is top nice
pig dish was great but needs more sauce and salt and burn away the hair on the bacon.
Gazpacho is fair
Salmon Tatar is too fishy tasting compared to typical salmon.
Lemon cream dessert is horrible and too sour and didn’t taste as a dessert - and 3 people out of 13 ordered it and nobody liked it.
Custom old drink “hotel bendinat” is fantastic (orange juice, gin, contreau, grenadine).
Beach service is good
Rosé wine (both of them) are not good at all. Too sweet or too sour.
Risotto is fair but not the best. Nice and salty but needed fresh parmasan on top.
Cappachio was fair but the cheese is too young and too fresh for the dish. It needs parmasan.

Toilets are pretty clean
The area is great but we miss a tennis court like the old days.
The cementation around the cliff and waterfront is broken and it’s impossible to walk bare feet. Cement is cheap and it makes no sense they haven’t restored the beach area. The good old days it had a better beach front without breaking the skin of your feet.

Massage therapy lady is very very pro and talented.

Hotel is in nice condition most places but still needs renovation some of the places like the beach.
