Hotel de Mar Gran Meliá - The Leading Hotels of the World - Adults only

We had a fabulous stay at this hotel. The grounds are immaculate and you are literally steps away from a dip in the sea. Two beautiful pools. Always plenty of sun beds and a waiter service for drinks. The hotel is very cleverly laid out - every room overlooks the sea (the negative reviews are very pedantic) and are set back from each other and very private. Only two minor grumbles: we felt that the Bombon pool bar/restaurant could have served more snack type lunches - it was all very high end (which was fine for the Riva restaurant) but we paid 128 euros for our first day's lunch which was rather excessive when we just wanted a 'light bite'. There are several restaurants within short walking distances from the hotel though if you want something less 'fancy'. Our room (107) was directly over the buffet restaurant and we were woken each morning around 4am or earlier by staff preparing for breakfast. This would not deter us from returning to the hotel, we'd just request a different room. The breakfast itself was faultless and one of the nicest parts of the day. All the staff are lovely and very attentive. Overall, a wonderful hotel, highly recommended.

The hotel was beautifully renovated and are very pleasant. Big bathrooms with separate shower and toilet plus bathtub. We had a balcony with a lovely view too. Concierge team was helpful and responsive. Overall service at the hotel is consistently great showing that the property is well|Managed. If you are looking for a nice break not too far from Palma but yet an easy drive to the pretty local calas this is a great option

Our stay at Hotel de Mar Gran Meliá was absolutely incredible — truly a five-star experience from start to finish. The atmosphere, views, and attention to detail made every moment feel special.||A special shoutout to our housekeeper, who was absolutely amazing! The room was always spotless and beautifully arranged, with thoughtful touches that made us feel pampered.||And the breakfast? Outta this world! Every dish was delicious, fresh, and beautifully presented — the best way to start each day.||Thank you to the entire team for making our stay unforgettable. We can’t wait to come back!

Excellent experience over all. Very intimate and quiet, even with a full hotel. The visual experience and outdoor vibe of the hotel is surprisingly much better than advertised. Very elegant, well thought out, quiet, intimate and serene. The room's are fairly small (we did get the most inexpensive as the price is just to much to justify per day vs what you get) but thankfully were blessed with a beautiful view of the ocean. We were on the 3rd floor centered (#314) over the pool. MUCH preferred rather than the far right of the hotel which was the fear. The bathroom was huge with a unique design that isn't advertised. Cleanliness was excellent over all with only the standard wear and tear that is obvious for a hotel that isn't new. Service over all was excellent. Staff was consistent with there welcoming attitude and eagerness to help and all with a constant smile and generous attitude. Celebrated a birthday and was greeted with champagne and treats as a surprise in the bedroom and hand written notes, a lovely touch. Experienced a movie night out by/over the lap pool which was a wonderful surprise we quite enjoyed as well, even though we were not aware of it being on any schedule. Guests kept to themselves over all which was very nice, no loud kids or nosy tourist types which we appreciated. Not sure we'll return given the over all price of the hotel but the experience was excellent when considering everything.

Our second visit to this very attractive hotel in a splendid location, junior suit HB. Once again a very enjoyable visit. Good hotel great staff. Breakfast is lovely with good seating mostly outdoors, well stocked buffet plenty of choices inc Mallorcan local dishes. Can order cooked to order + very good egg chef 👨‍🍳. Dinner in HB disappoints, very limited choice of courses and food itself somewhat over prepared. In two evenings I had the same cool tomato sauce with three dishes ? After two nights ( five night stay) decided to have diner elsewhere. Hotel allowed a credit of 30 Euros pppd, spent this at lunchtime. Also wine prices very high, 50, 60, 70 + euros per bottle steep.

The Gran Melia sits on a truly beautiful, "luxury" property with stunning views. Unfortunately, the room quality and service execution were not up to the standard expected for a $4,000 five-night stay.||The Good:|The breakfast buffet and menu items were excellent.|The property and grounds are breathtaking.||The Issues:|Serious Shower Problems: The water pressure was consistently low, and the temperature violently fluctuated between cool and hot every 30 seconds. We and multiple other guests on our floor experienced this. The manager's response of "we’ll send someone to look at it" felt dismissive and treated guests as gullible, as this is clearly a systemic plumbing issue, not a quick maintenance fix.||Slippery Bathroom: The polished marble bathroom floor and shower are dangerously slippery. When we requested a rubber mat, we were told they would "spray the shower to make it less slippery"—another unhelpful and insulting response.||Understaffed Breakfast Service: While the food was great, the dining room was significantly understaffed (by at least two people). The existing team worked hard but could not keep up, resulting in persistent delays for coffee refills and prepared food orders every morning.||Worn Mattress: Our mattress was clearly overused, showing a noticeable sag/indentation and a subpar firmness level (I'd rate it 6/10).||When paying a premium price, you expect excellence and a basic amenity like a reliable hot shower. This hotel failed to deliver on those expectations.

My stay was absolutely amazing! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming from the moment I arrived. The rooms were beautiful—spacious, clean, and thoughtfully designed. Every detail made the experience feel special. I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and memorable getaway.

incredible hotel, beautiful views, amazing facilities, breakfasts to die for and service off the charts. Including taking our dirty beach towels from the car and giving us fresh ones every day, to lending us umbrellas for the unexpected rain. All the staff were charming, went out of their way to be helpful and accommodating.
