Zafiro Andratx is a large hotel located in a very nice Camp de Mar village. Hotel has its own parking, which was providing enough parking space even if you were arriving late in the evening. Reception is very nice, spacious, with the friendliest personal of the whole hotel. People there are real professionals with the right customer-orientated approach. |The hotel itself is a set of numerous (I think 9) separate buildings, connected with numerous stairs, ramps, elevators, and sidewalks. You will become well-orientated after first day, but I wouldn't really recommend this hotel to people with reduced mobility, or elderly as some of the distances you have to make are considerable, and mainly in hot summer months, it is simply not a pleasant thing to do for everyone. In addition, I faced several rainy moments during my stay, and most of surfaces became really slippery, so be aware of that! |Room cleaning is overall on a good level, although I cannot accept that the cleaning team left my terrace window fully opened on one day. On the other hand cleaning of the corridors, sidewalks etc. is not as perfect as I was seeing rubbish on the ground in the evening in the same spots where I saw it in the morning. |Breakfasts in the "Market" restaurant were great from the food quality, and the variability of its selection. Nevertheless, the level of some of the waitress is not perfect , and despite the place being very empty at the time I was being there, I faced situations when dishes were not taken out for considerable time. Also, none of the cooks were able to greet you when you were passing by. This is absolutely wrong in a 5-star facility. Also, the maintenance of some of room (and not just room) facilities could have been better. My room had a loose door handle, shower was dripping for an hour after being used etc. |To sum up, Zafiro Palace Andratx is a very nice hotel, rooms with a sea view have fabulous views (I stayed in a penthouse, in block no. 6), with enough space, great terrace, spacious bathroom, and comfy bed. The hotel also offers lots of swimming pools, equipped gym, good breakfast selection, and Camp de Mar location is also one of the best on the south-west coast of Mallorca. The beach is perfect, close (but you will go to a decent hill), and close distance to airport (ca. 30 minutes). What I didn't like is some of the staff which missed the professionalism of the place where they work. I should also point out that the hotel is a perfect place for golfers as it is surrounded by Andratx Golf Course, and many others are in a close distance. |Final comment would go as an advise for potential future visitors. As I already said, be advised that there are really lots of stair (yes, you can use elevators, but at busy time, it is simply annoying to wait). Also, at the time when I was there, hotel was full of families with small children, so if you want a calm, quiet holiday, rather look elsewhere.
