Reviews and Ratings
This hotel offers a wonderful location right by the beach with comfortable rooms and a staff that goes above and beyond to accommodate guests. The dining experience is delightful, but a few more options would enhance it further. The facilities are top-notch, ensuring a pleasant stay overall.
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. The only minor downside was the limited dining options for breakfast, but everything else was top-notch.
What a gem! This hotel is a real find. The rooms have such a unique feature with a terrace, giving you a way to enjoy the fresh air and views. The service here is top-notch, with everyone accommodating every request with a smile. The location is simply unbeatable, right by the beach. On the downside, the mosque nearby can be a bit loud around midday.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The location is perfect, right on Shela beach, and the staff are incredibly accommodating. The only downside was the limited dining options for breakfast, but overall a great experience.
