Staying at this hotel was a real treat! The location is superb, right by the beach and with easy access to Shela village's main square. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff, who runs this place, always went above and beyond with a smile on their faces. The dining experience with included meals was convenient, but some packaged products made it feel a bit lacking. Overall, a great value for money with a few minor drawbacks.

I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The location was phenomenal, right on Shela beach with breathtaking views. The rooms were spacious and modern, with a terrace that provided a perfect spot to unwind. The service was top-notch, with a team that runs the place efficiently and always accomodated every request with a smile. The dining experience, with homemade Majorcan products, was a delightful culinary journey. However, the facilities could use a bit of an upgrade, particularly the amenities, and the price seemed a bit high for what was offered.

I couldn't have asked for a better location, right on the beach and close to everything I needed. The rooms were spotless and cozy, and the staff went above and beyond to make my stay memorable.
