The Palma Suites in Mallorca are a blend of the old and modern World. The moment you open the day, you are greeted with beautiful old World charm. Now we have all heard the expression ‘first impressions count the most,” and the Palma Suites management have taken this to heart. This was the first time we have ever been offered a free alcoholic beverage during check-in. Then when we opened the apartment door, a free bottle of local red wines, bottle of olives and a bag crisps welcomed our visit. We are already thinking 4-star and we haven’t even looked around yet.||The apartments are ultra-modern. Ours had a mezzanine bedroom and ensuite bathroom, so potentially hazardous stairs for the less mobile, but the apartments may not all be the same. The integral kitchen and living area, whilst small, seemed to work well. There was a breakfast bar with stools rather than a dining room table and chairs but again they were very functional. Three easy chairs and table, TV, safe and plenty of wardrobe space for coats, hats, bags etc. ||The kitchen had a large fridge and separate freezer, dishwasher, capsule coffee maker, cooktop and oven, but no microwave. Sufficient crockery and cutlery for about 3 days for a couple and enough pots and pans to prepare most meals.||Comfortable double bed and plenty of wardrobe space for your clothes. The bathroom, again whilst small, was functional, with a relatively large shower and plenty of towels and toiletries.||Our suite also had a washing machine but not all apartments have one. There are free washing machines and dryers on Level 2 for guest use. The Suites also have an impressive gym for the fitness fanatic and a small, cool-yourself pool and a pleasant sunbathing or relaxing are on the rooftop.||The Suites are located in a small, quiet square, but not far from the mass attractions of the old town, with its endless restaurants, bars, cafes and gift shops. The A1 bus to the airport also stops within an easy walk of the Suites.||Whilst there is a small supermarket within 150M, the prices are high, and it best only used for essentials. The main supermarket, Supermercado in the El Corte Ingles, is about 500M away on Avinguda d’Alexandre Rossello. This is an enormous modern supermarket that stocks everything, including an extensive collection of wines, pre-cooked food and everything else that could be consumed by man or woman. Worth a visit even if you are not shopping, but don’t tell your husband I told you!||So in summary, a modern apartment in a charming building, excellent and helpful staff, good facilities, great location, reasonable tariff. What more could you want? HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
