Absolute disgrace of a hotel masquerading as a five star
Reviewed By Jane KWhen booking a five-star hotel, one is accustomed to a certain-level of service and fit-for-purpose accommodations. Yes, the view is nice. Yes, the restaurant may be their only saving grace. However, the rest of the hotel, including their staff are an utter disappointment. First, to start off with the accommodations. The hotel looks decent from the outside but could definitely do with a makeover. The interior of the hotel is quite dated and seems to be trapped in the 1990's. For a beachfront hotel, the lighting and interior decoration is very dark. The hallways are poorly lit and the rooms have very heavy wood panelling and furniture (very chipped and run-down looking). There is a musty smell in the air and we overall did not enjoy being in our rooms. Furthermore, our first evening, there was a really whiny sound in our room for which we had to call the engineer. The engineer then proceeded to bang on our air conditioner vent until the whining noise went away... A very bizarre and disconcerting incident. Our coffee machine was also broken and there was no provision of any water beyond the first day. Basic things that one expects were completely lost in this disappointing accommodation. Second, the service. The service was probably one of the worst forms of hospitality that I have received whilst staying at an 'alleged' five star hotel. The staff are quite snobbish and condescending. There is zero drive to ever go above and beyond, if anything, the staff act as though your enquiry or request is such a great disturbance in their day. For instance, we wanted to reserve some time at the spa. We asked the front desk if we could reserve a time and they told us that they were unable to help and we had to go downstairs to the spa to speak to someone. We navigated down to the spa to find that there was no one present at the desk. After waiting for about 10 minutes, we filled out a form with our enquiry for a reservation, including our phone number / room number for confirmation. Over the remaining course of our stay, we heard nothing back. In general, any type of question or feedback to the staff was received with derision and condescension. If you read some of the more negative reviews of this hotel, you will note the nasty replies by the hotel and their inability to admit any fault or wrongdoing. I'm sure I will get a snarky reply to this review by the hotel as well. They claim that excellent service is forefront, but we found this to be quite an untrue statement. The final nail in the coffin for us was one evening when the hotel was celebrating their 25th anniversary. The hotel decided to close off the pool bar and the restaurant for the day (which we can understand). However, loud music and fireworks blared past midnight when we had an early flight to catch the next day. The lack of consideration for their guests (as if we were second tier citizens compared to their party attendees) was palpable and severely disappointing. I think if I had to really sum-up the core of my discontent. It is the fact that there was a loss of any care for their guests or any level of anticipation of needs. Everything is just a little more difficult. Toiletries are missing (and you are required to call the front desk for provision of anything outside of soap / shampoo - e.g., slippers, lotion, shower caps, etc.). The service in the restaurant is extremely slow (we had to flag our waiter multiple times for the menu, refills, ordering, the bill, etc.). The front desk staff should not be in the hospitality industry if they despise their guests so much. Overall, the communication was quite poor across the board. This trip was supposed to be a wonderful occasion as I had reunited with one of my best friends after not seeing them due to COVID. What was expected to be a wonderful and pleasant stay turned into us counting down the days to escape this terrible hotel and its equally horrible staff. I would not recommend this hotel to anyone who expects a basic level of accommodation or service. If Nixe is celebrating their 25th anniversary, I would advise that they take a hard-look at themselves and really validate whether they have anything to celebrate for.

Great value in very cosy hotel
Reviewed By AnkerhansenSuper helpfull staff, free prosecco and well maintained hotel with high level of cleaniness. I would advice to book a room with sea view as the other rooms have rather poor view. Pool area is relaxing and the bar serves great drinks and a lovely Paella 10 € for a taxi in to Palma

Perfect holiday
Reviewed By KarinMichaelaVery nice place and perfect location at Costa Palma. Very easy to take the bus to Palma or Illetas. Sorry about the red flag at the beach so we could not swim in the Mediterranean at Cala Mayor. More information would have been good.
5. MLL Blue Bay Hotel
Overall Ratings
3.5 based on 908 reviews
MLL Blue Bay hotel, with 3*** and the best value for money. Excellent location - 500 metres away from the beach of Cala Mayor, where you'll find crystal-clear waters, at the same time, you'll also be few Kms away from Palma's old town and city centre, which you'll be able to reach by public transport. Nevertheless, its wonderful outdoor pool and terrace are all you need to spend a lovely relaxed family day without having to move. Last but not least, our buffet-style restaurant is always full of a wide range of options which will satisfy all sorts of diets.
Fantastic views for reasonable price
Reviewed By LBMountyThe hotel is something out of the 60-70's do isn't myto look at but situated at the top of the hill gives it stunning views out over the sea, giving you million pound views for not a lot of money. The room was fine clean and tidy if s little date, but for the money we paid could not have asked for more. The breakfast was good plenty of choice from cooked and continental. The breakfast waitress was lovely, very friendly and worked very hard to make sure everyone had what they wanted. The pool area is good with a bar and there was a life guard on duty which was unexpected and very reassuring. The pool bar and hotel bar were very reasonably priced and Pedro the bar man was the icing on the cake, he was a great mixologist and fabulous fun he is s real asset to the hotel. The hotel is up a hill so if you have mobility issues take that into account. It's about a 10 min walk to the pub and restaurant and s small beach. It's easy to get to Palma by bus no 4 from the main road down the hill and it takes a good hours to walk it if you are feeling energetic. Would definitely stay again
6. Hostal San Telmo

Open from March to October or November
Shall I?
Reviewed By 193morganhThis is a hotel I visited in the summer of '88 It's a shame to read the reviews of the place these days but even then it was basic and in those days I don't think anyone had even heard of Aircon. We had a great time tho. In those days the pool bar was open for "breakfast" Lipton tea and bread rolls and jam. .. you lot are so spoiled these days lol. Tbf the pool bar was open all day and into the night so encouraged people to stay by the pool which created a good buzz with music going on all the time... Mostly a young crowd then from the UK and, randomly, Finland.. ah great memories.
