The hotel is conveniently located near the beach and within walking distance of charming cafes. The rooms offer fresh air and a lovely view but have small windows. Julie the manager provides exceptional service, and the housekeeping is top-notch. The hotel offers homemade Majorcan products in its dining options.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location is superb, just a stone's throw from the beach and within easy reach of fantastic dining options. The rooms were cozy, clean, and had a lovely view. The service, especially from Julie, the manager, was exceptional. However, the dining could have more variety. Overall, a wonderful experience with great value for money.

The hotel offers a cozy stay with rooms featuring lovely views and fresh air coming in through a small open window. The service, especially from Julie the manager, was exceptional and the location is convenient for reaching the beach and exploring the area. The dining experience with fresh French patisseries was a delightful treat. However, facilities could use some improvements.
