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

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.

We enjoyed a week at Hotel de Mar Gran Melia. The service from all the staff at the hotel was excellent. A major positive for us was the stunning location, you can have a sunbed adjacent to the sea. There's a private beach with a small lagoon and we swam in the sea (and pools) every day. The sunbeds are very comfortable with a small mattress on them. We were bed and breakfast and found the breakfast exceptional. The rooms are very comfortable and the balconies are built in such a way that they are really quite private, despite them being adjacent to others. We didn't eat dinner at the hotel preferring to try local restaurants. Other than one, this meant taking the bus to Portals Nous for dinner and a taxi back. Both were cheap and available. We will definitely consider returning as we had such a relaxing week. Thank you.

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.

Feel good experience to stay at Gran Meliá.|The check in was very smooth and the staff very sweet.|Sea view room with amazing view to wake up to for a coffee on the balcony.|The common areas inside are a bit worn and not completely up to date. Outside areas and garden is really nice. Both pool and beach, and quite a lot of sunbeds. Location is also great, however driving distance to most things nearby.||I was a bit disappointed by the room facilities. The room itself was quite spacious, we stayed in a premium sea view room. Bed and linen very comfortable.However, there were no toiletries in the bathroom , like cotton pads, tooth brush etc which would be expected in a 5* hotel. Neither was there water provided by the hotel, and only one small bottle in the minibar for 8€, which you would have to buy to make yourself coffee or tea.|The room was not sound proof and in the morning you could hear the other doors from nearby rooms slam. In addition the room do not have proper blinds/curtain set up, so the room is quite bright in the morning.||Breakfast was nice. Buffet and a small a la carte menu in addition. |Gym and spa at the hotel.||Overall a good experience because of the view from the balcony and the outside areas, but not really value for money. Our room was 850€ a night and I would expect slightly more from the room at this price.

AWFUL SERVICE & BUGS!!!! This is not a five star hotel! It is incredibly outdated and dirty. The door to my balcony did not fully close and the room was INVESTED with ants!! There were even ants in the bed and a mosquito on my pillow. There were also hairs in the sheets, mold in the shower and stains on the pillows. The room service food came cold and was incredibly overpriced. At check in they said there was a coffee machine that could be used anytime, but it was “broken” so I had to pay 9 euros and go to the bar to get a coffee. They charged me for things in the minibar I did not use!! They also did not help me with my luggage when I was leaving even though there was no one else in the lobby. I was originally going to stay 2 nights but would never stay here again. There are much better cleaner options on Mallorca.

Pros: nice 5* hotel. Fantastic sea views. Great breakfast. Very easy to get to Palma and Puerto Portals. Cons: The poolside service is poor and not what you would expect of a 5* resort. It is also not possible to order food to the poolside which is expected at a 5* resort. There is also a shortage of beds at peak times from Friday to Monday where beds are reserved with towels from 7am. Again not what you would expect from a resort of this level. The air conditioning is also not particularly good. We struggled with heat in our room.

If you are looking for peace and quiet, rest and relaxation this is not the hotel for you. I arrived after a difficult trip and decided to get a couple of hours sleep. Not to be, there was some sort of conference going on right under my window. So I opted for an early night. Not to be either there was Ann outside meal going on which is fine until the banging bass music started and carried on til late accompanied by shouting and screaming in the corridors till 2am. I’ve been coming to the Gran Amelia for a number of years and enjoyed its peaceful environment but it’s changed for the worse I’m afraid so I will in future be going elsewhere.

Meliá Gran Mar in Palma is a standout hotel that truly excels in location, food, and service. Nestled along the stunning coastline, it offers breathtaking views and easy access to the ses. |The food experience is exceptional, featuring a diverse menu that showcases local flavors and international cuisine, all prepared with fresh ingredients. Meliá Gran Mar provides a perfect blend of luxury and comfort, making it the best choice for travelers. Highly recommended!
