Barceló Hotels Hotels in Illetas

I seldom write a review. For our 4 day trip to Mallorca I researched hotels extensively because I had long dreamed of visiting Mallorca. I have traveled throughout the world and the United States. This hotel is at the top of my list. We upgraded to Red Level and found it to be a wise choice! I am a pillow snob and these at the hotel were most excellent! I’m just sorry I forgot to ask if I could purchase a few. Blanca made my friend and I feel like royalty. She made our stay very memorable. The outdoor area was exquisite and only a short taxi drive into Old Town Palma and we had a nice afternoon in Valldemossa. The Spa is very nice and the water features were most enjoyable!

English / Français. Occupants of rooms 306 and 307. Excellent stay at this superb hotel. Thanks to all employees, but special thanks to: - Mr. Ramon Costa from the reception. - Mr. Giovanni from the restaurant. The staff was perfect but these 2 men are clearly above by their professionalism and their kindness, the bosses of their field. Thanks again. Occupants des chambres 306 et 307. Excellent séjour dans ce superbe hôtel. Remerciements à tous les employés, mais remerciements particuliers à ces : - Monsieur Ramon Costa de la réception. - Monsieur Giovanni du restaurant. Le personnel était parfait mais ces 2 hommes sont clairement au-dessus par leur professionnalisme et leur gentillesse, les patrons de leur domaine. Merci encore.

Hotel was in a fantastic location to enjoy surrounding coves, beaches and restaurants. Staff were very polite and helpful with all our requests. The room had great views over the pool and sea and I enjoyed very much being able to swim off the rocks from the hotel. Would stay here again.

We have just spent an absolutely wonderful week at this beautiful hotel. It was everything we were hoping for. The hotel is in a lovely quiet area (if you want lots of restaurants & bars, this is not the place for you). There are a few mini-markets and a handful of restaurants dotted about, but other than that, it is just other hotels. You can hop on a bus to Palma from right outside the hotel. The number 4 bus goes into Palma every 15 minutes or so for €2 per person and takes about 20 minutes. Palma is a beautiful city, so I recommend you do this at least once. The hotel is kept very clean by a team of hard-working staff. We were in a garden bungalow (2 adults & 1 teenager) and it was just the right size for us, with a good sized bathroom and a beautiful view out to the bay. The rooms are cleaned every day. The swimming pools are lovely – the upper one is by the pool bar (which isn’t too badly priced and the food we had (toasties, nachos, pizzas) were very good) and the lower one has a little pool attached to the main one for little people, or just to sit in. There isn’t a huge amount to do for children (no organised entertainment – so again, if this is what you are looking for, you need to stay elsewhere). The hotel also has mini-golf, tennis courts, pool table, if you want a little activity to do whilst you are there. The staff were all very knowledgeable and very helpful. There are a couple of little beaches nearby, but they were completely packed (we were there in the first week of the summer holidays) and most of the beach is taken up with sunbeds which you have to pay to use. It was too busy for my liking, but we did go down later one afternoon (it was still packed) to have a quick dip in the sea and a cocktail from the beach bar (€10 for a porn star martini and it was packed with alcohol!) Food: we stayed on a half-board basis (and I thoroughly recommend doing this). Breakfast was from 7.30 to 10.30 and is a help-yourself buffet. There is so much to choose from and the drinks are all included (they even have Prosecco out on Saturdays & Sundays). You can eat inside or outside on the terrace. The staff work very hard to keep everything topped up and to keep your table clean. We loved the breakfast! The evening meal is in the sister hotel over the road and we found this to be absolutely brilliant. Again, it is a help-yourself buffet and there is so much food to choose from. The pudding selection was absolute heaven! We felt the choice was very good (different options each evening throughout the week) and we found the food to always be served hot. The views of the bay from the window tables are absolutely beautiful and you can watch the cruise ships make their way back out of Palma. The drinks are not included, so they are billed to your room and you pay at the end of your stay, when you check out. We tended to get a bottle of water (€3 each). The waiting staff work hard so that you enjoy your meal – our waiter Wilson was absolutely wonder

Quite possibly the most gorgeous hotel I’ve stayed in due to the incredible setting. It’s nestled inbetween a tiny cove and another hotel which shares the cove. I would definitely recommend this hotel, the staff were super friendly and all in all very positive! The rooms are a little dated and plain but you do not choose this hotel for the room, and spend very limited time in the room. You can get a bus for 2 euro into Palma which we did most nights, and then got an Uber back for around 18 euro as there isn’t a huge amount to do in the immediate area. The sunbeds are limited and the sun does go around 3pm due to the trees and buildings, but you can go up to the solarium (if there’s a bed spare). The resteraunt has stunning views over the beach and breakfast is also great. My whole family said they’d book to go back next year, which I think says it all!

The hotel is very warm and welcoming in a beautiful location and the fact that it is family-owned simply adds to its charm. The staff can't do enough. We are a vegan family and they really went out of their way to accommodate us. We love the quirkiness as well. The yoga class every morning is second to none, rooftop tennis, great bars and restaurants and yet it all feels so intimate with the warmth, friendliness coupled with a ”nothing is too much trouble” attitude. This was our second visit and we will return.
