Meliá Palma Marina

This was a quick trip but the hotel was very nice inside. The room was great for and us and very comfortable with great views over the harbour. There was construction works happening on the outside (front) but that didn’t really matter to us as we were only there for the weekend. The pool was a nice temperature on a hot day and although we couldn’t get a sunbed (arrived at the pool around lunch time) we had a lovely breakfast and the ice cold beer definitely helped us to relax. The nightlife around the hotel can be a little loud due to the number of sports/Irish bars near by and it made the walk home from the city interesting. However the atmosphere was good and we didn’t mind at all. If you had kids then it could be a little intimidating I would think. We also checked in very late (after midnight) which wasn’t a problem at all and we got our room straight away Overall we’d definitely consider staying here again.

I had higher expectations from Melia. The only appealing part of this hotel is the lobby. When entering it you have the impression that the hotel is perfect. However, the moment you enter the room you see its far from perfect, requires renovation asap as things are falling apart in the room, the design is old fashioned and the furniture is old and simply doesnt match the style of rest of the hotel. Breakfast variety was OK but the food did not taste good at all. The only positive thing is staff, everyone is great, from frontdesk to restaurant and housekeeping. To sum up the hotel needs to have rooms renovated ASAP and breakfast can be improved as well. The price and the presentation of the hotel simply dont match whar you get.

Beautiful hotel, excellent location, unfortunately work was being done outside!..... These things have to be done and I'm sure it will all be lovely when finished.

Very impressed with this hotel on every level. Lovely staff, classy decor, fantastic breakfast and comfy room with all amenities. Will definitely be making a return visit.

We have stayed here before and really enjoyed our time. This time however there was construction work all around the hotel, from outside the hotel to the balcony from our room.

Check in was stressful - after a long overnight flight, I was jet-lagged and groggy. I couldnt find my reservation number and they wouldn't let me check in without it. I have copies of emails with the hotel and my name and credit card number from booking but they wouldn't 'find' the reservation. After about an hour of frustration and stress they finally managed to check us in. The room was nice, relatively clean and comfortable (paint could use refreshing and carpets needed cleaning) but had a great view. Ultimately it was a good stay, but that checking in was pretty awful, and Palma is FULL of construction right now which takes some of the fun out of it, too.

We stayed on the level which was well worth the extra cost. Friendly staff throughout and our room was very comfortable. The only downside was that we had a sea facing/side corner room from which we had a lovely view but the noise during the night was horrendous. There are nightclubs and bars behind the hotel and every morning at around 3-4am when people left the clubs there was a lot of shouting from loud jovial revellers. Not blaming the younger generation they were obviously having a good time, we did the same in our younger days. Then to cap it all on the last night the rubbish lorry collected in the very early hours with its reversing siren at full blast. This is our only criticism which I think would not have disturbed us quite so much had there been better quality patio doors and windows which might have had some noise cancelling effect. There is major road works going on in front of the hotel all the way along the marina which although not nice to look at didn’t spoil the holiday. Once you cross the road, which is a major feat, it is a beautiful walk on the other side but beware it is over a mile to the centre of Palma which is not suitable for everyone. All in all we would recommend this hotel but avoid room 618 if you want a peaceful nights sleep.
