Bahia Del Sol

Enjoyed our stay here! All the staff we had contact with were really friendly. We arrived just before midnight and checking in was quick and easy, and then the receptionist informed us of their food for after hours check in guests, which was a little buffet of snack foods - nice surprise. The rooms were clean and spacious. However my room was advertised as '3 beds' and one was just a sofa pull out. Housekeeping was very helpful with requests of extra towels and linen. Balcony view of the pool was quite nice. The room was a little bit stuffy and there was no air conditioning that we could locate, and unfortunately reception said they had no fans that they could provide. The breakfast buffet that we had included in our booking was quite good and I really liked that it varied in choice from day to day. Location was great! Only a 5-10 minute walk to the beach and access to plenty of shops and restaurants. We came in for a birthday celebration and were left a note in the room for a free bottle of sparkling wine, which was a nice touch from the business! Would definitely come back here and would recommend for friends and family

We payed for Sea Views and at the beginning were disappointed but after a day, realised we had a lucky escape. Smoking is allowed in all outdoor spaces including balconies!! I didn't realise that people are still stupid enough to smoke as 1 in 2 die a horrible death from Cancer. For some reason this hotel attracts smokers. If you want to use the main pool area you can't as there are smokers all over, same with the bar, all outdoor spaces are taken with smokers. We had to abandon our balcony a few times due to smokers. Heaven knows what it was like on the balconies in the main hotel as the smoke wafts up. Reminded me of the 1980s. The Chico part of the hotel is old but has a charm. The balconies are dirty and falling to bits with lots of cracks, the lift is lethal as my girlfriend got her arm trapped in the door and came up in a big bruise. The mattress on the bed was collapsed and we were glad to get home to have some sleep. You only get one pillow so you have to lay flat and there are no hooks in the bathroom! When you have a shower you have to put a towel on the floor to stop the bathroom from flooding. The food is variable. The main course food was often not good unless the lady chef was cooking. Several times I had to fill up on vegetables but the sweet course was often fantastic apart from cold rice pudding? I know there were many nationalities. I did enjoy the pancakes we had but unfortunately that was one morning. All of the staff from the waiting staff/ cleaners/ Receptionists were brilliant all except for the women with the short hair in the bar. But the staff made the hotel for us. The position of the hotel is great in a relatively quiet area but close to a large beach and a nice small cove. Plus it was easy to get a bus and they were cheapish and very efficient compared to the UK. Would I go back? It's a pity but, no, the smell of the smokers is just too much.

Really friendly staff and hardworking - we are guessing the manager was there daily but he didn't really say anything to us or the guests, but he was working just as hard. The food was pretty good overall, but did get a bit repetitive. The Sky bar wasn't open and there was an extra outdoor pool that we found just by looking at the website when we were there - there weren't signs for it throughout the hotel or in the lift, no welcome pack and reception didn't tell us, but I do think guests should be made aware of all the great facilities - we were thrilled and it was a great sun trap in the afternoon. The outdoor terrace I believe was on level 3, but again there were no signs for it, we just found it when we went exploring around the hotel one evening. We loved the cocktail bar in the evening and really reasonably priced, some great evening entertainment too, not every night and the hotel could be more informative of when the entertainment starts - those that had an early dinner will probably take themselves to their bedrooms because they think there's no entertainment after all, but I think it was great it started at 8.30pm as some hotels we've stayed at it hasn't started until 9 maybe even 10pm. Really close to shops, restaurants and bars, also beach and nearby buses to Palma etc. Probably only slight negative was the showers in the room weren't watertight, the water spills out the shower and into the bedroom, so a bath mat doesn't really do the job, we had to use a lot of towels to wipe/absorb the water.

We had great stay at hotel Bahia del Sol, rooms were spacious with nice view, big balcony. Room service every day. Food was tasty, good selection. Hotel was fully booked, but didn't feel crowded at all. Short walking distance to public transport, beach, shops and restaurants. Kids loved it. Felt very safe there. Staff was very friendly.

Currently at this hotel for a week. All I can say is it appears that the management of this place seemed to have lost all concept of accommodation and its basic needs. First of all the aircon which isn’t working in our room. When asked about this they told us it’s Spanish law for it not to be on which upon review appears to not be the case. The problem being that during the day temps are around 25 degrees which is lovely but the temps in the room rise due to the heat held in the building at night. Rooms temps of around 28 degrees on an evening with only one option of leaving the balcony door and curtains wide up. Which if I’m honest does very little. Secondly the beds. Best described at past there sell by date. Result being the worst bad back I’ve ever had in my 47 years of life. Upon review it appears my mattress is absolutely shot. With regards to the roof top bar and entertainment it’s simply not there at this time of year yet advertised before you book. We did however have a band last night who started playing only to be told by management to turn it down abit at 8.35 in the evening. The swimming pool is in need of attention and that cold due to never seeing any sun that even polar bears would avoid it. It’s not seen one person in the week we have been here. This is my first Google review but I feel it’s required as the basics of a 4 star hotel are clean, comfortable and adequate facilities. This hotel at this time of year fails on all 3 and def isn’t a 4 star experience. Big shame as its location is decent but the management need to listen to their customers feedback and staff comments rather then run the place into the ground which is what’s happening.
