As many others have mentioned, driving to the hotel to drop off luggage is indeed a challenge! We ended up driving through a nearby pedestrian zone, invoking the ire (rightfully so) of many restaurant staff and customers. We ended up, after calling the hotel a second time, parking the car and (one of us) walking to the hotel, after which the very kind receptionist Wassima (sp?) walked back to the car and rode with us to find the hotel. Very stressful, but after that, we had an absolutely delightful stay. Our room was tiny -- I rarely mention that about European hotel rooms, but we were in the midst of a 10-day road trip and didn't want to leave anything in the car as it was parked in an open, free parking lot, so it took strategy to organize everything so that we could move around the bed. The hotel is gorgeous -- comprising two buildings next to each other, one built in the 1300s and the other in the 1500s. Despite the age of the buildings, it is decorated in a modern, minimalist way. There is a lift (thank goodness for those with lots of luggage) and, in our building, a common area that includes a sitting area and also a kitchen where one can get free coffee or tea and filtered water anytime, and honesty-based access to alcoholic drinks (we just needed to write down what we used and our room number and paid when checking out). Breakfast was superb: the usual Spanish breakfast buffet (savory and sweet) and hot dishes cooked right there once an order was placed. There is a lovely large sunken tiled jacuzzi (in the hotel website picture) which we never used because it closed at 9 and we were never back from dinner by then. The location of the hotel was also ideal, inside the city walls so very quiet, with many shops and restaurants within easy walking distance. The old town of Alcúdia feels like a Moroccan medina, and this hotel has a riad feeling with a modern touch. Many thanks to Wassima and the other wonderful hotel staff for an unforgettable stay!
