The hotel was spacious for three people but could benefit from an infrastructure upgrade. The rooms had good size with 2 balconies, but they were not on a 5-star level. The service was friendly and accommodating, especially towards children. The location was great for exploring various attractions. The dining options were diverse but lacked proper allergen labeling. The facilities were adequate but could offer more variety.

The hotel offers bright, spacious rooms with good air conditioning, though some maintenance and furnishing updates are needed. The staff was friendly and helpful, but one member was a bit abrupt.

Overall, an enjoyable stay with room for improvement in certain areas.

Our stay at the hotel was fantastic! The rooms, although a bit cold due to the central heating, were spacious and accommodating for our family, with extra beds for the kids. The service was exceptional, with the staff going out of their way to make us feel welcome. The location was perfect, offering stunning views and easy access to the beach. Dining options were good, but we missed a variety of fresh vegetables. Overall, we had a lovely time despite minor inconveniences.

The hotel is beautifully located right by the stunning beach of Santa Eulalia with direct access and only a short distance from the main strip. The rooms are nicely set up for families, but there was a lingering smell of cigarette smoke and the decor could use a refresh. The service was outstanding, except for the room condition, and the beach bar was a top spot to hang out. The dining experience offered a good variety but was on the expensive side. Overall, a great place for families and couples to stay with fantastic views and friendly staff.

I had a lovely panoramic ocean view from the room, which was very nice, clean, and spacious with a very comfortable large bed. However, the room felt a bit dated, cramped, and the sliding doors didn't seem to close properly. The service was stunning, the staff knew how to cater to gluten-free diets, and they were always extremely helpful and friendly. The location was brilliant, near various amenities, with a beautiful beach just next door. On the downside, the dining experience was very poor in quality and didn't match the expectations of a 5-star hotel, despite presenting several options. The facilities were decent and met our needs throughout our stay.

The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, even wiping the cost of the food from our bill. The location was excellent, right by the gorgeous beach, which was my prime reason for choosing the hotel. The dining experience was okay with plenty of choice, but a bit pricey for a family of 4. The facilities were very nice, clean, with a very large comfortable bed and all the amenities you'd need throughout your stay.
