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.
