We travelled as a multi-generational family of five, so had one of the new hotel suites, and one apartment in the slightly older block. The hotel is in a little known (certainly for UK guests) northeast corner of the island - a little over an hour from Palma airport (c. 130 euros in a minibus taxi). There are supermarkets and bars / cafes within a couple of minutes walk. There nearest, largest, and ideally nicest, beach is around 10 minutes walk away along the coastal path. There is also a small beach near to the lighthouse - a nice 40 minute walk or so away. Both the hotel and apartment block have reasonably sized pools, but the signage suggest the hotel one is adult only (albeit this wasn't enforced during our end of season stay. There is a large indoor pool between the blocks, albeit it also has rules around times children can use etc. There is a table tennis table, mini golf and a beach volleyball court, and all were free to use during our stay. The hotel suite was stunning - with a big balcony, separate living room, free standing inside bath and outside jacuzzi bath. The apartment was obviously older, but still clean and tidy, with a mini kitchen (2 electric rings), microwave and under worktop fridge. Both rooms claimed to have some UK TV channels, but this was somewhat random and "hit and miss" - the hotel room only had CNN, the apartment living room had ITVBE and ITV4 (but not CNN), and the apartment bedroom had 18 channels - none of which were in English. BBC was listed as available but had "no signal". Raising this as a query didn't elicit any further channels. That said, reception were helpful, particularly the male who spoke very good English (and explained he resort is generally German speaking). We were half board with food taken in the hotel main restaurant. All meals were buffet, with some fresh cooking of steaks etc at dinner and eggs etc. at breakfast. Generally what you would expect - a choice of meat, fish, vegetarian, with buffet sides, and puddings in pots or cake by the slice and large tubs f ice cream to take scoops from. Drinks were also fairly standard The weather was exceptionally good for us given it was an October half term break - 27 degrees and clear blue skies for all four days. As I say, this was exceptionally good as we have previously had wet and grey days in October in Majorca.
