La Residencia, A Belmond Hotel, Mallorca

A very good hotel but I didn’t find myself gushing over it this time. This was our second visit and we stayed for two nights. We were upgraded to a far bigger room than the one we had booked - the room was lovely and charming but the limited storage and lack of space in the bathroom would have been frustrating if we were staying for longer. Not a complaint as such as we were happy with the upgrade, but if we had paid for this room category we would probably have asked for a different room. The property is beautiful as is the setting in lovely Deia. There isn’t a lot to do in Deia though, you are coming for the tranquility and scenery (and the hotel!). There are some great walks in the area if that’s your thing. Service is mostly attentive and professional although at times felt a little wooden. We did even wonder whether staff interactions are scripted after having almost word for word identical interactions with multiple members of staff which felt slightly forced. Perhaps this is to be expected of a hotel owned by a big company looking to offer a consistent level of service across its hotels. This is understandable but to me a drawback when comparing to some of the wonderful independent luxury hotels out there. We found the food and ambience at Miro to be just ok. There was a guitarist playing on the terrace one evening which we thoroughly enjoyed. We didn’t eat at El Olivo as we ate there last time and didn’t feel the need to repeat it - I remember it being very nice. The breakfast offering is excellent and the setting next to the pool makes for a lovely start to the day. However, we had to wait for a table on both days which is disappointing for a hotel of this standard and price point. Overall La Residencia is a beautifully serene setting for a relaxing break and we had a very pleasant stay - it was just missing the “magic” I hoped for.

Nothing short of amazing.

Superb stay Absolutely outstanding service in the most beautiful area of the island. Impressive facilities, super comfortable room, great food and plenty of nice personal touches. Will definitely return!
