Son Brull Hotel & Spa

Very well renovated property in the middle of the vineyard. Excellent service and delicious food.

We had a fabulous time at Son Brull - 5 nights in total. We had second floor room overlooking vast property and gardens and surround hills and appreciated the size of the room, the welcome bottle of cava, and how well they kept room stocked with an abundance of both still and sparkling water. Pool is nice but showing its age a bit. The patio restaurant area is lovely. Staff throughout, including reception and restaurants, were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The hotel is close to Pollenca, and we found it easy to get a cab there and back. If you're a road cyclist, this is the perfect starting point for long rides to Sa Calobra, to Formentor, or through the super system of small roads linking surrounding towns. Their bike hut makes it easy store your bike, whether your own or rented. And the Port of Pollenca has numerous shops that rent high-end road bikes.

We wanted to like this restaurant as friends go there from time to time. We ordered the tasting menu, but most of the courses were just disappointing. The cheese course was really amusing with three finger nail size pieces of cheese of a finger nail's thickness. Doubt we will return. Miceli, 20 minutes away, blew this away for half the price.

My husband and I recently spent 7 nights at Son Brull Luxury Hotel. The hotel is surrounded by beautiful countryside in the Tramuntana mountains and is located 30 minutes from the airport and 5 minutes by car from Pollenca. It’s a stunning historic property that’s been converted into a boutique hotel and clearly had no expense spared in the quality of the architecture, fittings and landscaping. The grounds are extensive and the pool and terrace areas are peaceful and pleasant with a choice of sunloungers / daybeds and magnificent views. For such a relatively small hotel, Son Brull punches above its weight as far as dining options are concerned. This is both in terms of the variety of dining settings and also the extent of menu choices. Furthermore it’s feasible to eat more than once at the fine dining, fixed menu, 365 Restaurant as residents are able to choose from an alternate menu subject to 24 hours advance notice. A real standout at Son Brull is the people. Even before we arrived we were impressed with how quickly emails were turned around and arrangements handled. Every request throughout our stay was actioned perfectly by their lovely natured and helpful team. Overall we had a good stay however, there were a couple of negatives: Bedroom - wardrobe hanging space was practically non existent (only room for five hangers due to the way the wardrobe was constructed) and there was no dressing table with mirror which meant sitting on the edge of the bath to dry hair, apply make-up etc. This is not satisfactory in a hotel that has the price point of Son Brull. Local taxi service - it seems to be very hit and miss as to whether and when you are able to secure a taxi to and from the hotel. It’s apparently the case that taxis are only available to be ordered via an app and that no updates are provided as to when the taxi will arrive. Neither are they pre-bookable in advance. We had to cancel a dinner reservation in Pollenca due to the hotel being unable to secure a taxi for us. On one occasion, we also waited more than half an hour at the taxi rank in Pollenca to return to the hotel at 1pm in the afternoon. Maybe the hotel could consider providing a local shuttle service to give guests certainty of travel to and from Pollenca.

Amazing place with fantastic surroundings. Super friendly staff. Only thing they could improve is the food offerings in Bistro restaurant and breakfast buffet...could be more choice and also more local.

Disappointing experience at this hotel considering who owns it. The setting is superb. Peaceful and beautiful. The room was very nice with a great balcony. However, the bath is in the middle of the room which is fine but there is nowhere to put the shower gel. This has been overlooked. Because of this the shower gel smashed on the floor and was not replaced. We were left with a broken bottle for the rest of our stay despite advising them. The breakfast is ok. It’s very healthy and could do with slightly more options for those of us who don’t come on holiday to be healthy! The pool area needs attention. The decking is uneven in places and I stubbed my toe. The decking surrounding the pool is a wasp oasis. Unfortunately, I hate wasps. When I finally found a safe spot to enter, the pool was cold. We have a pool at home so I am well aware of how 24/26 degrees feels. I did not feel comfortable having to walk down to the restaurant area from my lounger where people were having leisurely lunches to ask for a drink or another towel. Maybe, a buzzer service would be more appropriate. Jumeirah has this and it works well. A tip I would give is to order a taxi an hour before you need it
