Hotels Near FAN Mallorca Shopping in Playa de Palma

This is our quick go to hotel been coming here for at least 12 years it's kept clean and tidy maids in everyday food always hot something for everyone could do with a refurbishment as it's looking very tired all staff very friendly bar price very reasonable really miss not having a small table on the balcony as we like to sit and read /phone with a glass or cuppa in a morning .

We are currently in the Amfora Beach. Staying here for 10 nights. Booked three rooms. Since we checked in on Saturday in our room we have slept with thick black mould and spores on the partition wall between the bathroom and the bedroom. We have reported this and it was partly wiped off but still several spores and black visible. We reported it again today and explained the cause is due to the bathroom door not closing. We were promised a ”technician” would look at it. We explained myself and my partner suffer asthma and emphysema and this is detrimental to our health. We ard both now wheezing. We returned this evening to find nothing has been done. On asking again at reception thd technician was unavailable and it might be done tomorrow. Explaining again the risk to our breathing, my partner was met with ”si, si”.. It seems the only way we may get a response is through this forum as clearly the reception team do not realise the seriousnes of the situation. We have paid a considerable sum for three very small rooms that do not appear to merit the 4 star tag and the least we would expect t is they would be clean and safe.

Our expectations were met. Super nice staff. Wifi surprisingly also very good. The food was delicious. Fish and the like was freshly fried for one. We were very satisfied and would like to come again. If you want to go to the Ballermann and want to party, I don't recommend the hotel. It's an hour's walk to get there, which is very long. I posted a few examples: the view from a courtyard view, example food (what we got/prepared) some of it is dinner, others from breakfast. I also took a picture of the aisle with me. On a picture you can also see where you could get something to eat, among other things, but there were other options.

A good four stars. Hotel close to the airport (taxi 14 euros, no ubers in Mallorca). I was lucky enough to have a terrace room (first floor room) where you walk from your balcony directly onto the terrace overlooking the pool. I reckon these rooms are best unless you're obsessed with a sea view in which case go above 5th floor. Hotel breakfast is good- lots of choice. Also an inexpensive cafe / bar on poolside with very friendly staff. The hotel was peaceful when we were there- slept well and beds pretty comfortable. Very very close to the beach- 3 mins walk - and then you're on the beachfront which has an almost unlimited abundance of restaurants, cafes and bars. One cautionary note about the restaurants nearby - be careful with the reviews many look to be inflated / fake so choose carefully. Lots of mini-supermarkets - the best within 5 mins walk is carrefour express.

At the arrival, we been offered discounted room upgrade that we accepted and we are so happy that we did! The 5th floor junior suite we got had amazing sea view, huge balcony and very big comfy bed. We really enjoyed our stay in this hotel but who wouldn't, friendly staff, excellent food at the restaurant, clean room... Only thing that we did not like and what is the reason we will never come back to Palma De Mallorca (this does not have anything to do with the hotel but must be mentioned) is that there is extremely strong bad smell (better say stink) of sewer in the sea water, you can not even lay on the beach as it is so strong. Someone say it is rotting seaweed (yeah, right), but we disagree since we visited so many similar destinations, have vacation home on the Vancouver Island and we know well how rotting seaweed smells, not even similar to this one, this is clearly sewage, probably treated to the some extent, released in the water. So, we ended up to cool down and swim in the hotel pool (that is, BTW, very nice), the whole purpose of our trip to Palma was to spend time on the beach and swim in the seawater, if we wanted to do all that in the pool we would stay at home (and save lots of $$$) since we have nice outdoor inground sized pool.

supper big and good with delicious breakfast and kind staff, they can call the taxi for you and there is a bus stop right at the gate of the hotel, it’s really convenient. We really had a good time at the hotel and it’s near the airport only cost 7mins so we can save time there.

I pick my holiday based on reviews - I’ve been honest and as balanced as possible- as I know these reviews have a big impact. I’ve written as a Pro and Con list. The PROs far outweigh the CONs PRO- very short ride from airport PRO - quiet accommodation with very few other people especially as start of season . PRO- Floor 7 - a really really lovely view to pool & beach PRO - cleaning ladies very very friendly and always spoke to my young child. PRO - room was cleaned and tidied nicely everyday with fresh towels. There is also an option “do not disturb “ if required. PRO - the food ! It’s always a risk with all inclusive! Great food fresh and tasty (I’m veggie ). Breakfast (8-11) great choices each day -cereals with various milks including oat milk. Seeded buns, & baguette Bread & sliced bread with self use toaster, lovely soft breads/ pain au chocolate/ pain au raisin/ chocolate chip cookie, cakes, donuts , pancakes, with Nutella. Various jams and yoghurts & honey. It was all laid out buffet style - with show case cooking. Boiled eggs / scrambled eggs/ fried eggs/ mushrooms/ sausages. Fruit (melon/kiwi/strawberries in sauce. Lots of choice! Can’t fault the food in any way. Lunch (12-1pm) was pasta/chips (very nice ) chicken burger / lots of fish/veg lasagne/beef tomatoes, olives, white onion, salads. Ice cream/ churros with chocolate / small pots of set vanilla yoghurt with fruit sauce top (all very nice). Dinner (6.30-9) breads/pastas/chips/roasted veg/ mushroom/roasted veg/ layered /boiled/chipped potatoes/ fish & salad - always fresh cooked pasta with various sauces (cheese/tomato/bolognaise) chicken /fish/ Everything was fresh and cooked before us. Waiters attentive clearing plates and glasses swiftly. Bedroom - 2 adults & 1 child The double bed and single bed were about 1 foot between so we easily pushed them together happily. Had a small fridge. We also had a small wall mounted tv (not working) reported this on the first day but it wasn’t fixed , wish didn’t bother us. The balcony with really such lovely views- and a table with 2 chairs. Outstanding to watch sunsets. You also have small fridge. . The beach is very short walk with decent and affordable places to eat and lots of supermarkets nearby. You can hear bars playing music at night but it’s not intrusive and stops before midnight. There is a sight seeing train which goes up and down the sea side. Everything is kept clean and working 2 lifts service the 8 floors easily. Reception is always manned speaking Spainish/ German and a little English. They have a small selection of crisps /chocolate & sweets & a whole fridge of soft & alcoholic drinks to purchase (cash only). CONs unfortunately not allowed room for 2h after arrival (we had been up all night & had a young child). We could see the pool being cleaned & the banisters drilled and lots of workmen around. We went to pool side which looked nice but told we could not use the pool for another day at-least - a

The hotel is near the airport, convenient public transportation available to Palma city centre. Only a few steps from the beach. Buffet quite nice. But there is no gym. The service is nice and welcome. This hotel definitely worths its price.

NOT BAD HOTEL, RIGHT IN THE MOVIDA AREA. IT DOES NOT HAVE SPACE TO SIT OUT AND BE OUTSIDE FOR A LITTLE BIT. IN THE POOL AREA THERE ARE SOFAS AND ARMCHAIRS, BUT INEXPLAINABLELY THEY CLOSE EVERYTHING IN THE EVENING. THEY ASK FOR 100 EUROS DEPOSIT PER PERSON FOR ANY DAMAGE. IT HAS NEVER HAPPENED. IT'S NOT A 4 STAR. BREAKFAST AND DINNER GOOD BUT LITTLE VARIETY. CHARGING FOR WATER AT DINNER I FIND UNADEQUATE FOR A 4 STAR. CLEANLINESS IN THE ROOM GOOD. STAFF SOME KIND, OTHERS LESS. PRACTICALLY MORE A 3 STARS THAT 4.
