We recently stayed here for 3 nights and had a good time, but unfortunately a few elements of the hotel let itself down. To start with the positives: it's very well located and only a 5-10 minute walk to the centre of Palma, the list of restaraunts recommended by the hotel were excellent, and the hotel/rooms itself are very nice and well designed. The nightly turn down service with chocolate and water was also a nice touch. ||Unfortunately, the area which requires improvement is the service. Whilst generally most staff were nice and friendly, they were not particularly proactive or helpful. There were no constant staff at the pool area and the staff at the roof bar did not check in, this meant that loungers stayed reserved for hours and there was no one to take drink orders/clear empty glasses. The pool area often ran out of towels and the complimentary water was not refilled. ||On our first day I asked a staff member what time we should get to the pool to get a seat (as there were none available) and he just told me he didn't know/it was always busy, which was disapppinting. The next few days the pool was clearly much quieter in the mornings so I'm not sure why he didn't say this. ||One morning they hadn't put towels on all the loungers and when I asked at reception (as the towels had all gone by 10.30am), it took them 30 minutes to bring more towels. ||On our last day we wanted to eat at the hotel restaraunt before our flight. The roof bar was serving downstairs due to weather and reception told us it was open. We stood around for 5-10 minutes and no one appeared. We eventually flagged down a member of staff who seated us. He then told us that only the snack menu was available until 1pm. We wanted something a bit more substantial due to our flight (e.g. we would have been happy with being able to order fries to go with the snacks), but there was no option for flexibility around this. This was disappointing as the normal pool menu serves this type of food from 11.30am and I believe the room service menu has all-day dining. There was no offer to accommodate us and it would have been very easy to do so, as we weren't after fine dining. ||Given this, we wouldn't recommend this hotel, as the service is so important.
