Top Hotels with Gyms in El Arenal

Das whala!fun liegt am Hafen von El Arenal in einer der etwas ruhigeren Straßen. Das Hotelpersonal war durchweg freundlich, zuvorkommend und sprach sogar teilweise deutsch. Die Zimmer sind zwar recht klein, doch stets sauber und freundlich eingerichtet. Unser persönliches Highlight war die Dachterasse, die man Ende September fast ganz für sich alleine hat. Dort kann man prima den ganzen Tag verbringen, kann sich nach Belieben mit kühlen Getränken von der Bar oder einem kleinen Snack verwöhnen lassen. Die großzügigen Liegen und der Pool laden zum Entspannen ein und auch abends kann man dort noch einen Absacker trinken und den Tag gemütlich mit einem Blick auf den schönen Hafen ausklingen lassen. Preis-Leistungsverhältnis konnte uns auch absolut überzeugen. Danke!

We visited this hotel as a couple in our late 20s, in April 2022. Our first time abroad since the pandemic, so we were looking forward to it. The hotel was very clean. The cleaners were super friendly and always said hello. The pool area was so quiet, we had it to ourselves often. The decor was fairly modern, standard for a budget hotel. A big supermarket just a few minutes walk away, through a park area at the bottom of the road. The beach was a ten minute walk (although it is up hill coming back). Perfect location for the bus stop to visit Palma. On this basis, it was a great budget hotel for a break away. However, the noise was almost unbearable. El Arenal is a popular party location, with large bars/clubs aimed at German tourists. Which of course,means lots of drunk people. There was absolutely no sound proofing in the hotel room. You could hear every word in the surrounding rooms. You could also hear the loud noise made by the lift, which was in constant use around the clock. One afternoon there was a fight in the room next door, and it sounded like they threw furniture at the walls! I only had between 3 and 5 hours sleep a night, due to loud/drunk people leaving, arriving and just hanging out in the corridors and in their rooms at all sorts of hours. I've stayed in lots of budget hotels in Europe, and hostels but never experienced noise like this. I saw the reviews but assumed it would be fine, but it really is as noisy as everyone says. The first night, I was scrolling through hotel websites at 3am to try and find somewhere else to stay as it was too loud to sleep, although due to cost we decided to just put up with it. This hotel is probably perfect if you want to stay somewhere low cost and want to party/stay up late every night or are a very deep sleeper! It was clean, had semi comfortable beds and pillows, and an okay shower. However, I personally wouldn't recommend it if you want a relaxing holiday now that restrictions have been dropped.

There're hundreds of hotels in the area. Don't go to this one. It's expensive and has poor conditions. The first thing that I noticed when I arrived was that it didn't have a ramp to facilitate the access of people with mobility difficulties. The second detail was that you were CHARGED for the WIFI 4€ DAILY. I have never seen that before. Also you were given a big and a small towel per person. Not a bath math, and they were refusing to give you any edtra towel. Towels are quite old, by the way. They tried to make money in every single possible way. The dinner does not include a single drink, not even water, and you can't take your own drinks. Most nights, there weren't many options, mainly salad. Nice the first night, but fed up after a week. Food taste was meh, but not horrible. If you want a decently quiet stay, it's not a good option. The place was full of drunk people. The first night, I saw how the man next to my door fell and opened his head. He was so drunk that barely knew where he was. It's not the right place if you aren't partying 24/7. I was told that I could notify reception of what room was causing noises, but there were a few per level. Impossible mission. I had an extra problem. My room had an air conditioner that leaked. I was told that they couldn't send anyone to fix it because the maintenance staff finished their shift at 5. What about emergency maintenance? I complained lots because it was a hazard. Their answer was to put a towel, which was getting soaking wet. They didn't have other rooms available. It took them 3 days to have another room free. I didn't receive any compensation for the inconvenience. Why not just 1 star? Because the staff. THE STAFF WAS NICE, THE ONLY GOOD THING. I feel sorry for them. They face lots of abuse.

Renovated hotel, practically all the facilities are new, plus there is another hotel from the same group opposite and you can go to the pool that has a small built-in jacuzzi and Balinese beds. There is no refrigerator in the room and wifi is paid

Stayed mid July.. 3 night mini break Heatwave 34-38 degrees..not many English in hotel and in that location either( not issue for us) .. wifi 1Euro a day..

Negatives .. Bar area by pool wasn’t open when we were there at 6 pm..maybe we just missed it but no other bar at hotel . pool small not many beds and doesn’t look appealing .. No car park and the area is full cars, very hard to find spaces, hotel directed us to large car park , a good walk but was ok for us but just looked derelict land but good it was free but I’d say get full insurance,.bathroom shower needed good deep clean in drain hole ..basic cleaning fine but think a thorough clean was needed in certain areas.. Air con unit was on balcony low down and was blowing hot so was to hot to sit out on balcony.. you have to take price into consideration as it’s cheap cost hotel ..

Promenade very busy in evening.seemed more youths .., don’t go if you like quiet.. struggled for seats at a quiet bar..

My honest experience with hotel Torre Azul. To start with some of the upsides, upon arrival the hotel was right next to the bus stop (that's one of the only area benefits). The staff are really nice, I think this was the best thing about being there (best and only good thing), most members of staff were nice, the young ones especially, the older ones were a bit less friendly, but they were ok. The hotel appears ok from the outside (quite fancy) but it lets you down past the door. It's extremely dark and gloomy, it has a hospital vibe to it and even outside at the back where the pool was, it's very dark (keeps the water too cool + defeats the purpose of having a pool area - to be in the sun! I ended up never using the pool for this very reason - money wasted as they charge more because they have a pool). I was given a room in what I presume was the least developed, ugliest floor of all with no recent renovation. The room was smaller than expected, had very old furniture and extremely uncomfortable beds (two single beds but one was taller than the other so I couldn't use them as a bigger bed). Every door on this floor creaks, but very loudly too which is only further amplified by the flooring and lack of decorum (again, very hospital like - tiles all over the floor?!). This aspect in particular was horrendous - everything was so loud every step, every word, everything. I had read some reviews regarding the walls being thin and how you'd be able to hear everything from your neighbors' and I thought that was a joke - it was very true. I couldn't sleep either of the two nights I was there (I left earlier by a day because that place was so bad it drove me insane and the lack of sleep ruined my day each time). People were having fights and loud arguments, some hotel stayers would make noise until 3AM and no staff or security would show up to calm things down - very weird. It's been very long since I stayed in a hotel and felt this unsafe. All doors/furniture were really old. The door gave me the impression that it was open all the time, the balcony door didn't seal properly so you'd always hear the wind/noises. It's really not sound proof it ruined the whole stay. The beds are very uncomfortable and you're expected to cover yourself with a bed sheet.. I've seen this bedding at hotels before but never this thin. Combine this with air coming through that balcony door + being awake at night because of slipper noises and banging on the hallway = dream vacation I guess. The balcony view was also just some people's homes and the back of the hotel which had some trash around. They charge specifically for balcony too, as if you get the sea view (no side of the hotel has sea view because they're far from the sea). Another thing they charge for is location. Now, there are shops around which is fine, but it's nowhere near the beach! You walk a good 15mins there. I can't believe I did not choose hotels next to the beach for 30£ more thinking I'd save and stil
