Our stay at Four Seasons Resort Mallorca at Formentor was absolutely unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, the attention to detail left us in awe. The property is stunning, the service is impeccable, and the warmth and hospitality from every staff member exceeded our expectations. What stood out the most was how personalized the experience felt. Every interaction was sincere, thoughtful, and attentive, making our family feel incredibly welcomed and cared for. Our room was a serene masterpiece—elegant, beautifully designed, and with incredible attention to detail. It became a haven we looked forward to returning to each day. We honestly didn’t want to leave. The food, the atmosphere, the natural beauty of Formentor, and the entire experience were beyond exceptional. It's rare to stay somewhere that feels truly flawless, but this resort achieved that effortlessly. When asked if there was room for improvement, we truly couldn’t think of a single thing. Everything was perfect from start to finish. We cannot wait to return. Thank you to the entire Four Seasons Mallorca team for making this one of our most special family vacations. Sincerely, The Volkmer Family

My family and I enjoyed a fantastic week at the Four Seasons Resort Mallorca at Formentor, and I can't recommend it highly enough. Our room was gorgeous, offering a breathtaking view of the sea, and it was impeccably cleaned throughout our stay. The accommodation overall was excellent. The spa was incredible, and the gym stood out as top-notch, fully equipped with Technogym equipment, which I used daily. What truly earns this resort its five-star praise is the staff. They are simply outstanding, especially in accommodating families with children—our 16-month-old son was warmly welcomed. Every staff member we encountered handled our requests with a smile, and each one was genuinely kind and friendly with our son. We also had the pleasure of meeting some delightful fellow guests who seemed to be enjoying their stay as much as we were. A special mention goes to the hotel manager, George, and his department manager. George is an exceptionally nice individual and clearly oversees a well-organized operation. Each department manager personally introduced themselves to us within the first two days of our stay—a thoughtful touch we greatly appreciated. I couldn't praise this hotel more highly. We'll definitely be booking again for next year. Thank you!

We want to thank Lita and her entire team at Cabot Las Velas Apartments for their excellent service and care during our stay. Their attentiveness, warmth, and those special little touches truly make a difference, making us feel special at all times and allowing us to enjoy an experience full of thoughtful details. Without a doubt, it's a place we'll return to. Thank you for everything!

This was our fourth stay here, and we’re already planning to return in October. The highlight of these apartments is undoubtedly the fantastic staff—Xisco and Aina are so kind, helpful, and welcoming, truly a credit to the Cabot group. We stayed in a ground-floor apartment with a jacuzzi, which was ideal as it caught the morning sun and was conveniently next to the kids' pool (room 204). The room was cleaned every second day, which worked perfectly for us. As returning guests, we received a thoughtful gift of a lovely bag and a toiletry bag—such a nice touch. Booking directly with the hotel also provided us with beach towels and access to the safe, which was a bonus. We love the laid-back atmosphere here and even met some wonderful people during our stay. There were plenty of kids around, which was great for our children to make new friends. I injured my foot during the stay, and the lifeguard was incredibly helpful, providing ice and advice on handling it. The location of the apartments is ideal—close to both the bus stop and the beach. We’ve previously stayed at Hobby Club, but we much prefer Las Velas. A big thank you again for another amazing stay, and we can’t wait to come back in October. Warm regards, The Duffy family and co.

My partner and I stayed at Can Guillo for two nights this July. It’s a peaceful place, surrounded by nature and very authentic, staying true to Mallorca's traditions and roots. The landscape of the valley where it’s located is gorgeous. Truly a treasure to preserve.

We absolutely loved the view from room 403. The hotel breakfast was outstanding, and the staff were incredibly helpful and professional. Cristina at reception was fantastic, and the one-day tour to Palma she recommended was truly worth it. Our room was cleaned daily, and we would return without hesitation.

This hotel has everything you could ask for. The staff are incredibly attentive and will go above and beyond to meet your needs. The property itself is stunning, spotless, and offers great comfort. The rooms are spacious and very cozy. The location is ideal—just a 15-minute walk to the town and only 30 seconds to the beach. Special thanks to Sasha and Lucia for their amazing service. Can't wait to return!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Duva Aparthotel in Puerto Pollensa. The property was immaculate, the facilities top-notch, and the staff were truly exceptional – always friendly, supportive, and eager to assist. It’s a fantastic spot to unwind and explore the surroundings. The pool was superb. Definitely recommend!

It is a small church (closed on the day of our visit…) that can be reached via a climb of about 300 steps. The view is pleasant but not extraordinary. The village itself is quaint with its narrow alleys. We don’t regret the visit if you’re in the area.

I based myself in Port de Pollença in June 2026 and learned the hard way that the Ma-2210 road to Far de Formentor is closed to private cars 10:00–22:00 daily from 15 May to 18 Oct. I arrived by rental car at 9:40 am, drove the 20 km spine past Mirador Es Colomer (stopped 10 min—spectacular 180° cliff drop), reached Formentor Beach car park (€5 summer, fills by 11), and pushed on to the lighthouse by 9:58. By 10:01 a camera would have fined me €100–200 if I'd been one minute later. The lighthouse itself is a white 1863 tower on a 200 m cliff, free to walk around, no café, no toilet—pack water. Then I backtracked to the Cala Figuera / Cala Murta bus stop, parked the car at Formentor Beach, and rode TIB line 334 back (card tap €1.80, cash €3, 50 min to Port de Pollença). Cala Figuera here is not the famous fishing village in the southeast—it's a pebble cove beneath the northern cliffs, no sand, no chiringuito, accessed by a steep 15-min descent from the roadside stop; the water is that impossible Mallorcan turquoise. Mistake: I assumed "Cala Figuera" meant the postcard harbor and wasted 20 min confused. Another mistake: not bringing windproof layer—the cape gusts 50 km/h even in June. Verdict: drive before 10 am for sunrise control, or surrender to the bus and hop off at Es Colomer + Cala Figuera. The cliff drive is one of the Mediterranean's best; the fine risk is real. Question: is a pre-10-am stressed drive better than a relaxed €1.80 bus ride with the same view?

We arrived without high expectations, understanding it was a 3-star hotel and not the Ritz. To our delight, the location was phenomenal—just 25 steps across a quiet road to a stunning white sandy beach. The rooms were spotless and cleaned daily, with ice-cold air conditioning if needed. The staff was friendly and accommodating. After our first night, we upgraded to a sea view for about €95 per night. While not cheap, it offered a breathtaking view and a slightly larger room, which we felt was worth it. The downstairs bar provides beachfront seating with great views and a refreshing breeze. Local wine by the glass was a good deal at €5, and breakfast offered a wide selection. However, for a flat white, real fresh orange juice, or authentic Greek yogurt, we visited local delis that had excellent options. We also took a local bus, only about €1.50, to Pollenca town. There, we enjoyed its magnificent church, charming streets, and delightful cafés in the square. The hotel is adult-only, providing tranquility, though families with kids can access the public bar and beachfront restaurant. Overall, it’s a great value in an excellent location. Highly recommended!

Just returned from a 10-day stay at this fabulous little hotel. We requested a specific side sea view room, and it was offered to us. The view of the sea was fantastic, and the room felt bright and airy. Though both the room and bathroom were somewhat small, they suited us perfectly. We were incredibly impressed with the cleanliness—new towels and daily room cleaning exceeded expectations, even surpassing some 5-star hotels we've visited. Breakfasts were excellent, featuring fry-ups, cereals, various milk options, and an abundance of fruit. Cakes and cookies were also available, providing plenty for everyone to enjoy. We didn’t try the evening meals since we chose the Bed & Breakfast option, but others praised the food. The staff were always helpful; they even offered us a courtesy room for a shower when we had a late flight. The location is convenient—a 15-minute walk to numerous good restaurants and shops. A stroll to the square and the Illa Dor hotel at the furthest point is a must, where you might even catch a water show from training sea planes. This small hotel truly deserves a visit. Give it a try—you won’t be disappointed! Huge thanks to all, Jill and Jack Barton.

On my fourth stay at this charming little hotel, I decided to try the breakfast, and it’s absolutely delightful. There’s a wide variety to choose from—I enjoyed the tasty olive bread with scrambled eggs, chopped tomatoes, and olive oil. The fresh fruit selection and warm mini croissants were equally wonderful. Definitely worth the extra cost. The staff are incredibly efficient, and the restaurant is impeccably clean. The hotel’s location is fantastic, just a 2-minute walk to the beautiful beach and surrounded by lovely restaurants. I usually have lunch at La Maina, but after such a filling breakfast, I skipped it this time. The walk to the town along the promenade is quite pleasant. In the evenings, I always enjoy a nightcap in the bar, where the service is impressively quick. Last night, I had a perfect Hugo spritz. The reception staff are lovely, and my room is cleaned daily. Over the past 52 years, I’ve stayed at numerous places in the port area, and Hotel Romantic always works for me in terms of price and location.

We've been visiting Pollensa for many years, and this is our fifth time staying at the Romantic. It's probably the best 3-star hotel we've ever stayed in. As others have said, it's clean and friendly, with brilliant staff. The standout feature is its sea-front location—just across the road from a fantastic beach. This hotel and resort always make us feel at home and very safe. We just returned from a 7-day stay and have already booked 10 days next June. Don't change a thing—it's perfect, and we'll keep coming back!

We returned to this hotel because we enjoyed it so much last year, and I'm glad to say it was just as good as before. It's important to research thoroughly before booking this hotel so you know what to expect. Note, it’s a 3-star hotel—the rooms are quite basic, particularly the bathrooms, which really need upgrading. Additionally, it doesn't have its own pool. However, there's something about this place that keeps drawing us back. We always book a sea view room and wouldn’t choose otherwise, but this time we faced a minor issue after unpacking and stepping onto the balcony. The screen partition separating us from the neighboring room was missing, and there was visible repair damage to the wall. This initially disappointed us, so we went down to reception to share our concerns. The receptionist explained it was storm damage and assured us the neighboring room wouldn’t be used until repairs were complete. While her explanation eased our minds, we wish she had informed us about this during check-in, as it would have prevented us from feeling upset upon discovering it. The screen was replaced on our last day, so it ultimately didn’t affect the overall experience, but the disappointment could have been easily avoided. The bathroom in our room (302) was smaller compared to last year’s room (303), but we quickly adjusted. Cleaning services were fantastic, as were all the staff, who were the same as last year—a definite good sign. Breakfast was basic but reasonable, and our evening meal at the front restaurant (called U1969) was enjoyable. This hotel is the complete opposite of what we typically go for, but we absolutely love it here and can’t wait to return. Thank you to everyone at the Cabot Romantic Hotel for another wonderful stay; we’ll see you again!

We enjoyed a fantastic 8-night stay at Can Auli in May, blessed with perfect weather, a charming room, delicious meals, and incredibly friendly staff. The breakfast was one of the best I’ve ever had, offering a different local selection each morning. While the food was excellent, it’s truly the staff that made our experience unforgettable and why we’ll definitely return. They made us feel at home every single day. The entire team was outstanding, but special thanks to Angela, Constantine, Giulia, Raquel, Mark, Krasi, Noelia, Joseph, and Tony for going the extra mile. They assisted with everything from dinner reservations to taxis, and Tony even gifted us homemade local spirits to take home. We can’t wait to visit again!

The highlight of our holiday and truly worth every penny! We brought our 9 and 6-year-old along, and they had an amazing time as well. We went on the Pollensa tour, and the swim stops were absolutely magical. We couldn’t recommend this trip more highly 👌🏻

We rented a road bike and an eBike from Harry at Pollensa Cycling, and everything was perfect. The online booking process was straightforward, and the prices were affordable. The bikes were in excellent condition, fully tuned, and ready to ride. The shop also had a great selection of road snacks. Staying in Pollensa, we opted to take a short 10-minute bus ride to the port to collect the bikes and then cycled to Campament de la Victoria and part of Formentor. It was a beautiful day, enhanced by Harry's helpful advice on timing, routes to dodge traffic, and avoiding crowds. He even recommended an amazing dinner spot back in Pollensa, which turned out to be our favorite meal in Mallorca.

This was our second visit to the hotel, and it was just as excellent as the first. We will definitely return! It’s such a tranquil and relaxing place that suits both adults and children perfectly. Our 11-year-old daughter had an amazing time, made lots of friends by the pool once again, and loved every moment. Everything about this hotel is exceptional, including its location, the food, the spacious rooms (the suites are huge!), cleanliness, facilities, and especially the staff. The team is so friendly, attentive, and truly a credit to the hotel. We stayed on a half-board basis, and both breakfast (7:45–10:30) and dinner (19:00–21:30) offered a great variety. Dinner selections rotate nightly with different themes, ensuring there’s always something new to enjoy. Family vacations can be pricey, so choosing wisely is crucial to ensure value for money. In our opinion, Bahia ticks all the right boxes – we had an amazing holiday! ❤️

We stayed 11 nights in a premium pool suite with a charming private garden area that included a Bali bed, sunbed, and table with chairs. A small semi-private pool right next to us was warm and wonderfully relaxing. The staff here are fantastic—super friendly and responsive to all inquiries or requests. They are a true credit to the hotel. A brisk 20-minute walk along the stunning coastline brings you to the main area, making for a picturesque journey. The location is genuinely beautiful. My only gripe is the sliding door on the bathroom—it’s awful and doesn’t even cover the full doorway. I don’t understand why hotels opt for this design, as it seriously needs to be reconsidered. Unfortunately, I suffered from severe food poisoning for five days (not caused by the hotel, I know where it originated), and during that time, the lack of proper bathroom privacy was unpleasant for everyone. The design feels pointless. If they fix the bathroom issue, this hotel would easily rank among the nicest I’ve stayed in.

My partner and I stayed here for a week in mid-June and had an absolutely fabulous time. The hotel started off quiet during the first few days but grew busier as the week progressed. It was modern, spotless, and the staff were incredibly attentive, always making sure we were well taken care of. We chose the superior twin room, which was both comfortable and spacious, offering a lovely view of the surrounding mountains. Our stay included breakfast, which exceeded expectations. The variety of food available was excellent, and there was always plenty of it. We particularly enjoyed the sausages and pastries. Around the pool, sun beds were always available, and the atmosphere was calm and peaceful despite the presence of small children. The pool was chilly but definitely manageable. The hotel's location was convenient—just a 5-minute stroll to the beach and a Spar market, with the main shops and restaurants about a 20-minute walk away. We didn’t mind the walk at all. Thank you so much for making our stay so enjoyable; we’ll certainly return again! I highly recommend this hotel to families and couples who don’t mind a bit of walking to explore Puerto Pollensa.

Habitat apartments are situated at the entrance of Port de Pollença, a coastal town on the eastern side of Mallorca Island. The price-to-quality ratio was exceptional. The apartment was fully equipped, providing everything we needed for a multi-night stay. It features an outdoor swimming pool and a grassy area for sunbathing, available for guests. The staff was very friendly, and we were allowed to use the facilities until midday on our last day. The cost was very low, likely because we visited in April. However, the location is on the outskirts of Port de Pollença, somewhat distant from the center and main promenade.

We arrived to a lovely vineyard setting, perfect for a boutique winery. The surroundings were stunning, and though the place is said to be busy in summer, we were fortunate to be the only group of five that evening. Small cold meats complemented the four wines we tried, with the standout being our favorite, the Blanc de Negres—a white wine crafted from black grapes. We loved it so much that we bought a bottle and enjoyed it post-tasting. The host was incredibly knowledgeable and welcoming. Overall, a fantastic experience with great wine and beautiful scenery, rating the wine 8/10.

An incredible experience. I had a great time from the very beginning. The entire team has a fantastic vibe, they are extremely professional, and they create a very pleasant atmosphere both in and out of the water. You can tell they are truly passionate about what they do, which makes learning and progressing much easier and more enjoyable. I felt very comfortable at all times and thoroughly enjoyed every session. I will definitely keep going and recommending it!

An excellent experience. The hotel is beautiful, with a very central yet peaceful location. The service we received was exceptional: the entire team treated us with great warmth, friendliness, and kindness. Additionally, the buffet was delightful, offering a wide variety of high-quality products. Without a doubt, a stay worth repeating!

This was our fourth visit to Villa Concha in the last decade, with another trip already booked for this September. The hotel apartments are perfectly situated close to the stunning beach and harbor of Puerto Pollensa. We’ve stayed both self-catering and bed & breakfast but truly love dining at the abundance of cafes, bars, and restaurants nearby! Concha serves as an excellent base, and I can't recommend it highly enough!

The entertainment was fantastic! They did an excellent job. Our little one didn’t want to leave because of the entertainment program—she absolutely loved the mini disco! We really enjoyed the evening shows, bingo games, and music. Many thanks to Lety, Marko, and Deva! The staff was wonderful, and the food was incredible. Our holiday was thoroughly enjoyable!
