Castillo Hotel Son Vida

This is a good option if you want to stay away of the crowded city Center. Pool is amazing, but pool service lacks quality. They close the pool at 7pm during summer which is a bummer if you want to enjoy the hotel after a day at the beach. The main reason we decided to stay there was because of the pool, but we were always late for the pool schedule. Restaurants are ok and breakfast is good. It’s a historical hotel with beautiful decor and luxurious vibes. Great price point if you want some luxury in Mallorca but do not have the budget to stay closer to the beach. A part from the pool staff, overall service is very attentive and kind. They went above and beyond to help us figure out how to charge the rental car. Recommend drinks by bar before or after dinner.

Spent 4 days here. An amazing experience and a great hotel experience. |13th century castle transformed into a luxury hotel. |Marble and amazing stone work throughout and well decorated with paintings and artifacts from the era. |Great service and facilities with well designed rooms and common areas. |Beautiful salt water pool. |Only downside was the lack of a suitable smoking area. There was a spot however it wasn’t covered and if and when it rains, this resort fails miserably compared to much lower end hotels that have taken this customer experience scenario as equally important to the interior design.

Had the best stay! Gorgeous room, fabulous hotel, and lovely staff. Totally relaxing, and felt like a treat from beginning to end. Building is amazing and bedrooms fabulous. Highly recommend! Terrace views are spectacular. Gym great - everything you need.

This is by far one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in. The staff is amazing! So friendly and extremely helpful with anything needed! The atmosphere is beautiful with such comfortable rooms!! Guaranteed to get a great night sleep. The food is over the top! You will not be disappointed at all!

We recently spent 7 days at this hotel as part of a 5-day global offsite with 49 colleagues, and I can honestly say it was one of the best experiences we’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, everything felt seamless and effortless. Even though the hotel was at full capacity, it never once felt crowded, the atmosphere was calm, spacious, and private, as though we had the place to ourselves.||The rooms were stunning, the food was out of this world, and the service throughout was absolutely flawless. Every single detail exceeded expectations and elevated our entire event to another level.||Special thanks must go to Cristina and the hotel team, who managed every detail and accommodated all of our (many!) changes in the lead-up to the offsite with such professionalism and care. During our meetings, Siad was exceptional! Always there, anticipating our needs and making sure everything ran perfectly. ||This hotel and team made our offsite not just successful, but truly memorable. If you are looking for a high-end experience with service and quality at the very highest level, I cannot recommend them enough.

⸻||The hotel itself was pleasant, but the breakfast service left something to be desired. We often had to wait a long time for coffee or tea, and our plates were cleared away before we had even finished eating. That said, the staff were very friendly—just not particularly well organized.||The sunbeds were set very close together, and the hotel seemed to cater more to flight crews than holidaymakers, giving it more of a motel feel than a resort atmosphere. At checkout, the receptionist was even surprised to learn we had stayed for a full week.

This hotel is the perfect retreat for a long weekend in Palma. See away from the hustle and bustle of Palma in the foothills of the Tramuntana Mountains, it is an oasis of tranquility and discreet, old world service.||The staff are highly attentive yet unobtrusive. From the bell-hops to the bar and restaurant staff, there is a sense of care and desire to ensure guests enjoy the experience.||The rooms are generous and comfortable. The swimming pool is an oasis with the most stunning backdrop of pines and mountains.||Given the location, it affords a greater sense of space from other inner-Palma hotels.||The only negative is the lack of readily-available filtered water which in this day and age should be table stakes.

The entire hotel team were first class. All very helpful and made us feel welcome. It feels like a family. Excellent pre arrival contact to ask if any requests, and the exact room number requested was provided. ||Fantastic breakfast, with friendly efficient service, great choice of food and complimentary Cava which is a nice touch. Good views. ||Hotel room excellent with large balcony. Hotel is very well designed with historical pictures on the walls. Great bar overlooking Palma in the distance with first class service. ||Golf is superb with free transportation and the improvements to Son Vida course have made it even better. Son Muntaner fairways looking tired but new buggies excellent. All golf caddy masters were brilliant. ||A five star hotel in a quiet area but accessible to Palma, just 15 minutes away, to visit traditional restaurants. Five star luxury with golf. Marvelous.

Stuff is really unfriendly and slow. By lunch they forgot the half of the food. And it tooks super long. Mind the restaurant there.

A relaxing getaway ride outside of Palma. The pool is so relaxing and has gorgeous cliffside views. The rooms are clean and beautiful. The restaurants - breakfast lunch and dinner and drinks - are amazing. The best freshly squeezed orange juice, delicious filet mignon and duck. Cozy vintage bar room to have a cocktail late at night. Overall a great experience.

This hotel is absolutely stunning. The hotel looks like a castle, and it exudes classic elegance. The service is top notch as well. All the hotel staff go out of their way to make your stay memorable. We stayed here for 3 nights as part of our honeymoon, and were so pleased with everything. The room are really large, and our bathroom even had a heated floor! The breakfast is great too, but us the same every day. There is no variety in any of the dishes except for the desserts that are put out (leftover from previous night). Wi-Fi is a little slow, and the TVs in the rooms are small. This isnt the most "high tech" or "business" resort out there if that is what you are looking for. Overall, 4.5 stars!

Sadly only had one evening at this hotel but it was absolutely gorgeous! Very close to Palma, at least closer than staying on the other side of the island where the Hyatt resort is. I really loved this hotel, it used to be a castle and has so much charm. We had a room with quite a grand balcony and an amazing view of palma and the near by golf courses. If you are going to Mallorca to have an relaxing vacation I'd definitely recommend this hotel. As an SPG member, I did receive an upgrade and daily breakfast buffet. The breakfast buffet was amazing with tons of insanely good options. And chilling poolside was just about as relaxing as it gets. The hotel was under construction when we were there which was a tad bit annoying. They lose a star because you cannot make the air conditioning in the room go below 27 degrees celsius and that's just too hot for me to sleep in.

My husband and I spent the second half of our honeymoon in Mallorca and Castillo Hotel Son Vida came highly recommended. We *almost* forgot the purpose of our trip until we arrived and were greeted by Davinia at check-in with a very warm, genuine welcome. Upon hearing we were honeymooning, she was kind enough to upgrade our room (it was massive!) and then proceeded to send champagne and chocolates to our room. It was a lovely introduction and made us feel truly special and welcomed and celebrated as newlyweds. This wonderful ambiance was consistent throughout our stay. Housekeeping leaves you fresh bottles of water and chocolates in your room daily and in Davinia's absence, both Jose and Amanda were always ready to help us. For activities and reservations outside the property, both Pep Toni and Angel guided us with honest and experienced recommendations. Should you not want to venture far, the resort has nights of entertainment planned as well - the evening we arrived there was an acoustic guitarist to accompany our buffet dinner. It was lovely. The entire property is charming and romantic. I can't stress enough that every member of staff went above and beyond and made us feel welcome and like we never wanted to leave.

My husband and I stayed at Castillo Hotel Son Vida for five nights last month. The property and room was absolutely beautiful. We really enjoyed the breakfast buffet each morning. It seemed like the maids came multiple times a day to clean the room and bring water. There were only a few things we didn't like about the hotel. We are very active people and we felt like we were "stuck" on the property unless we paid 12 euros to taxi into town or took a very long bus ride to town for 2 euros/person. The hotel is in a beautiful area, but it's inconvenient if you plan to go in to town or the beach often. Also, we had trouble with requesting things from the concierge (ice, iron, etc.) and it never arriving. We had to ask three times before the iron made it to our room. When we first arrived, we waited over an hour for our luggage to be brought to our room before we went down and brought it up ourselves. However, we heard from other guests there that they had no trouble with the service. I recommend Castillo Hotel Son Vida if you want a high-class, beautiful hotel. However, if you plan to be in town or the beach often you may want to look elsewhere.
