We book our golf trip many months in advance and before booking always check that we have absolutely agreed tee times & courses for each day, if there is any uncertainty we just don't book there. Just 2 weeks before travelling this year when most of the 10 of us had already checked in on our flights, they suddenly claimed... More

Having booked months ago, with tee times promised, were told yesterday that thotel had just booked a tournament on the Son Vida course and so our reserved tee times were not available. Shocking way to carry on business!

As you drive in through the gates, you realise that this is a superior hotel and you will have an excellent stay. Staff were friendly and efficient at check in.

We wanted to stay at the hotel for years and we finally got to in July 2012. If you appreciate a historic property and all that goes along with that, then this is the place for you. It is in an area surrounded by million euro mansions away from any other hotels or tourists. Fabulous service and quality all around.... More

I stayed here for 4 days to attend a business conference at the hotel. The overall experience was excellent: very quiet beautiful surroundings, spacious well equiped rooms, friendly staff, excellent breakfast choice, conference facilities were professional and only 10 minutes drive from the airport. I would come back.

Part of the luxury collection of Starwood, same as Turnberry in Scotland, this hotel is a beautiful, gated, old manor about 10-15 minutes by cab outside of city centre of Palma. If you want quiet, with views and an older crowd, this is for you. If you'd like convenience, stay in town. Cab rides are about 10Euro each way. There... More
