Hotels near FAN Mallorca Shopping, Playa de Palma

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.

Check in was fast and simple. The front desk spoke wonderful English and she was very warm and welcoming. The lady after her was less friendly but still answered my questions promptly. The location is amazing, just 150 steps to the gorgeous white sand beach. The room itself was spacious, tons of closet space, very clean, and had an excellent view of the ocean. The only negative thing I have to say is that my body wash was out even after two days of them cleaning my room, but it's not important enough to complain about. The walk in shower is heavenly. I love this hotel and will definitely return.

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.

Was a good hotel came in and the room had hair in it and the sheets were unclean requested for a cleaner or a new room and had to wait the night and then was expecting to have a cleaner come in while I was out and still wasn’t cleaned and went down to reception 3 times just to get the room clean. Other than that nice place and good location

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.

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.

The hotel was perfect - an older building but nicely reconstructed in a modern style: gym, 3 pools, nice pool bar. Everything nice and stylish - and clean. Excellent location - 5 min walking from the beach, restaurants, bars, shops, promenade. And what is important - 5 from the bus stop to the city center, the airport (public transport - Palma de Mallorca, a ticket costs 2 EUR - and you can get anywhere in Palma, the ticket is valid unless you get off the bus). The majority of the guests were young people. In some reviews, guests complain about other guests being noisy (football fans, young boys/girls weekend parties) - partially yes - but you are in Mallorca and on S Arenal beach - so you must be prepared for it. It is a party area on the island. I was there with two teenage sons and they loved it there. The room was nice and clean, but smaller than we expected. No wardrobes - just open racks and hangers. But no problem for us. (What we really did not like were the big mattresses thrown under the sofa bed all our stay. We stayed 3 persons in 2-bed + 1 sofa bed room - so one of us slept on the sofa bed. As they built a bed from the sofa - the huge unused mattresses (bigger than the frame of the bed) were thrown under the bed and the mattresses were sticking out from under the bed. Not only it was ugly looking but it was also dangerous - because one could easily trip over them at night. We liked the restaurant very much, a very nice selection of food at breakfast as well as at dinner. 5 of 7 days there were thematic dinners (Asian, Italian...) which was perfect. What was surprising for us- was we had to pay for ALL our drinks at dinner even though we had half-board at the hotel, even for drinking water. It might be standard for Mallorca, but we never experienced anything like this before. To sum up - if we forget those 2-3 small difficulties - we loved there everything. It was a very good hotel and I can recommend it to everybody.

I genuinely can't understand what we were charged 560 EUR per night for. To start, we arrived at 8 a.m. and were told there were no available rooms. I understand that check-in officially begins at 3 p.m., but I've traveled extensively and stayed at various hotels worldwide where I was able to check in earlier. I'm not sure what determines this policy. Eventually, we were given a room around noon, though it was a different room type. Since we had traveled all night, we accepted this. Secondly, the breakfast... I’ve stayed at many 4- and 5-star hotels, and this was certainly not a 5-star breakfast. It wasn’t that much about the limited selection, but the quality. Everything tasted bland. From the oily scrambled eggs, oily omelet to the bruschettas drenched in oil, nothing was flavorful. It felt as though the hotel was cutting costs by serving basic buffet items like sliced carrots and beetroot, carrot cake, and inedible pastries. We came to celebrate my birthday. My husband asked the hotel manager for assistance in arranging a birthday surprise for me, such as flowers or a small cake (which he was, of course, willing to pay for). The reception mentioned that flowers will be problematic, but assured him they would come up with something. The next morning, nothing happened at breakfast, and nothing was delivered to our room throughout the day. It wasn’t until after we returned from dinner in the city that my husband briefly mentioned his disappointment to a staff member. Only then did they bring a cake from the kitchen, with the excuse that they had planned to deliver it late in the evening. But who eats cake at 11 p.m.? The room was stylish and nice, but the shower door design was poor, causing water to flood the dressing area each time we used it. The beach at the hotel is small and public. While the view is pleasant, there’s no privacy. I believe this is common for beaches in Mallorca. The pool would have been a good alternative, but the water was freezing throughout our stay, and we didn’t swim there once. The hotel claims it’s about 400 meters from the marina. However, this is only true if you take a narrow, dangerous path behind the hotel, along the edge of a cliff, and then another cliff and beach. The views are great, but the route is neither safe nor convenient. The other way is a 1.5 km walk up and down the streets. Taking a taxi is a better option. On our last evening, we asked for a packed breakfast since we were leaving early, before breakfast hours. Instead, food was delivered via room service but left outside in the hallway because we had a ”do not disturb” sign on. No one notified us, and we only discovered it as we were leaving. Had we known they would deliver the food to the room, or that room service was available before 8 a.m., I would have ordered a proper breakfast, not just apples and juice meant to take away. On the positive side: 1) The hotel design is nice, with lovely views of the sea. 2) The staff were attentive a
