A Good Choice
We always used to stay at this hotel on our previous visits to Palma so it was our first choice when we decided to return for a few days in the sun.
Our first impression of the hotel was that nothing much had changed; pleasant and helpful reception staff, basic but clean rooms and great breakfast choice. The public areas are still stylish although the lovely ground floor bar was not in use and drinks are only served in the pool bar. The bedroom and corridors are a little dated but still serviceable.
Location is what makes this hotel special with beautiful views over the marina and it’s proximity to the old town.
We would definitely return.

Hidden Charges
Good location overlooking the marina, although it's on a very busy and noisy road.
The hotel was okay, but not what I'd normally expect from the Melia brand. Given the number of hen and stag parties in Palma, it was never really going to feel like a five-star experience. The beds were also a little too springy for our liking.
The biggest disappointment was the breakfast charge. On arrival, we were told it would be €16 per person, but at checkout we were charged €20 because we hadn't pre-booked. We were never informed of this. Reception admitted we should have been told both at check-in and when we gave our room number at breakfast. We clearly weren't walk-in guests, as we provided our room number and signed for the charge.
The extra cost only came to €16 in total, so it wasn't about the money—it was the principle. I asked for the difference to be refunded but was told this wasn't possible. I then asked to speak to the duty manager, only to be told there wasn't one on site. I find it hard to believe a hotel of this size had no senior manager available to deal with guest concerns. Very disappointing customer service, and unfortunately it left a poor final impression.

Room for improvement
Stayed here for a couple of nights to explore Palma. First impressions of hotel weren’t great- took over 45mins to check in, with staff who didn’t give good first impression and seemed uninterested. Then to be given a double room, had booked a twin. This was sorted after another lengthy wait. Room wasn’t cleaned for duration of stay, despite having sign in door since 9am, asked at reception- where we were told house keeping work until 9pm- wouldn’t want to have been there with a young family and having my room cleaned and beds made at 9pm. It was never cleaned Staff lack interest especially at Breakfast and restaurant. Many too busy having conversations with each other to assist guests. Breakfast poor - very reduced selection on 2nd morning of our stay, with “hot” food being cold. Fruit- well there was brown pineapple and melon. View from room was lovely, but this hotel is let down by all of above. We’ll come back to Palma but not to this hotel.
DO NOT STAY HERE-Not a four star
Not a 4 star hotel by any standard. Bedroom Dirty floor Holes in net curtains Damaged lamp shades Stained and chipped furniture Small insects and cocroaches around fridge No bathrobes No coffee machines Dirty balcony Reception staff very rude Check in is terrible even if you Check in online Reception area smells of damp No English TV or news channels Whole hotel feels cheap, tired and dirty Over priced Would not recommend. Melia group you need to up your game.

Worst hotel
14 floors with one working lift. Service lift not available to help with heavy bags. Packed pool with no service and not enough beds. Undermanned reception. Unresponsive staff. Worst hotel we’ve been to for years. You’d be mad to book. We’ll never be back and will avoid this chain.
