Stayed here for 7 nights at the end of October and really enjoyed this hotel. We flew out with Jet2. Transfer from the Airport at Palma was about an hour and a half but it gave plenty of opportunity to take in the scenery of Majorca. The Globales is almost the last drop off but once again the route around Cala Millor and Cala Bona gives chance to get your bearings. Check in was very welcoming, Anna behind the reception desk was very efficient and gave lots of useful information on where to go for everything. We were on all-inclusive and were impressed that the inevitable wrist band also contained a touch pad for the room door lock which was very handy. We had a family room on the ground floor with a balcony overlooking the pool end and gardens. The two rooms were spacious and the beds very comfortable. As others have remarked the only thing missing is some drawers to put personal items in. You have to pay for the safe which we thought was a bit expensive at 30 Euros for the week. Food was excellent and provides for all tastes. Although all self-service it was good quality and nicely presented. Breakfast had a lot of choice between hot and cold food, juices and pastries. We tended to skip lunch in favour of a burger or wrap from the Snack Bar. Evening meal was excellent, especially the desserts. Special mention must be made of the staff in the Restaurant, they were all very attentive and efficient. Star prize goes to Lorraine, who hails from Yorkshire and was a welcome source of useful information! We were happy enough with the all-inclusive drinks although they tended to be less strong than we are used to in the UK. What they lacked in strength they made up for in quantity! The wine served in the restaurant was served from a dispenser tap although of reasonable quality once you got used to it. There are premium drinks and wines available but the price of these is high. One nice touch was that on my Birthday, which they must have noticed from my passport, we had a bottle of Cava on ice waiting for us on returning to our room in the afternoon. The location of the Globales is excellent, just a short walk from the sea front, promenade and beach, and literally over the road from the bus stop. There are numerous Supermarkets quite close by and the Port is only five minutes away with lots of bars and cafés to sit and watch the world go by. The sea front is traffic free although there is a dedicated cycle lane which is quite busy with hire cycles and e-scooters. You can literally walk miles in either direction or just sit and take in the views. We only had one day out and that was to go to the caves at Drach, a 40-minute bus ride from the hotel. If you only do one thing when staying here these caves are a must. The forests of stalactites and stalagmites are quite different from the ones we tend to see in the UK, far thinner and longer and more closely grouped. The climax of the visit is the concert in the main cave, seated in near darkness you slo
