Bikini Island Hotel Review (Stayed Sept 22–29, 2025)
I am a hospitality professional and travel the world frequently for both work and leisure multiple times per month. I understand what to expect from hotels across different price ranges, and I can confidently say this was one of the most disappointing experiences I’ve ever had. We paid for a “better” room which was absolute waste.
Cons
Fitness Facilities: The gym is a disaster. Equipment is old, broken, and left exposed on the rooftop. No treadmill available. I’ve stayed at budget hotels with gyms 10x nicer.
Yoga & Spa: Yoga classes book up days in advance, and spa/sauna must be reserved, meaning you can’t enjoy facilities spontaneously.
Crowded & Chaotic: The hotel is constantly packed, with non-guests from the restaurant flooding the lobby and hallways every night. Reception is always full, and it takes forever to speak to someone.
Rooms: Incredibly small with no storage or drawers. Cabinets above the bed require stepping on the bed to access (unsanitary). I had nowhere to unpack clothes for a month-long trip. Even hangers were useless—bamboo-shaped and unable to hold dresses or tops. I had to repeatedly request more.
Noise: Zero soundproofing. You hear every cough, sneeze, and footstep—even on the top floor. Constant banging and noise, plus being near reception and bathrooms meant pushing through crowds daily.
Staff & Service: Staff acted like guests were a bother, not a priority. The WhatsApp “support” is just a useless AI bot. Despite reaching out multiple times about issues, the hotel was not accommodating. On the very last day, they offered to let us move rooms, but since we were leaving at 3:00 am the next morning, it was far too late to matter.
Food & Drink: Pool menu is limited and uninspired (mostly basic American options). Breakfast is good but overcrowded, items constantly run out, and cups are tiny—2oz max, requiring endless refills. Navigating the buffet feels like an obstacle course.
Parking: Nightmare. With non-guests dining at the hotel, parking fills up. After 5 pm, it’s nearly impossible to find a spot nearby.
Other Issues:
One guest in our wedding group arrived to find no room, despite booking direct.
Limited housekeeping/towel service due to drought.
Management refused to adjust or cancel my stay when I reached out.
Location is on a cliff, requiring a constant trek of stairs to reach the port—frustrating when the hotel itself is uncomfortable.
At $3,000+ for 7 nights, the value was shockingly poor compared to nearby hotels where friends stayed.
Donkey bar was barely opened.
The hotel offers electric bikes but as someone who owns an electric bike, the streets are extremely dangerous to bike around the cliffs and hills near the hotel.
Pros
Laundry service was quick, efficient, and reasonably priced (€15).
Full-sized hairdryer that worked well.
Overall
Outdoor seating area with couch was roomy and where I felt most comfortable since the room and hotel were anxiety inducing. This hotel causes me to have major anxiety which I don’t usually encounter but felt overwhelmed by how cluttered and busy everything was.
This hotel tries to market itself as trendy and upscale but fails across almost every aspect of hospitality. The lack of service, comfort, and functionality turned what should have been a relaxing trip into a stressful experience.
I am so upset that I stayed here, and I deeply regret booking it. Hopefully this review saves someone else from wasting their time and money the way I did. Mallorca is beautiful and welcoming, but Bikini Island left me feeling unwelcome and uncomfortable. Save yourself the disappointment—there are far better hotels in the area.
