Because we don't want too many people to know El Encinar for what it is; the most economical way of holidaying in a unique location on this stunning coastline. The views alone are worth the price of an apartment, not to mention the beautiful pool and authentic Mallorquin ambience. This was our fourth stay here, and it won't be the... More

Had a very restful week at El Encinar. A peaceful place to chill out but lots of steps to all facilities and no lift. Would recommend it overall. You do need a car for convenient access to local towns. Bus is every hour outside hotel if car is a problem. Adequate breakfast buffet but no on-site lunch option. Good restaurant... More

I went to El Encinar to recover from a chest infection, which was being sustained by the British weather - our early summer 2012 of rain, rain and more rain. How nice to get away to the Spanish sunshine. What a terrific location - above the sparkling, clear waters of the Mallorcan coast - with spectacular views and a touch... More

Great views from the apartments even from the first floor. Spacious apartments easily take 4 people. Two balcony's. We were half board, waiter service, food was ok but was an enjoyable way to spend the evening. Breakfast was very good. The swimming pool is very good, so peaceful. Great places to visit around. Good walk from Deia to the beach.... More

The setting is stunning with fabulous views and Valdemossa itself is a super base. However you do need a car both to get to El Encinar, from El Elcinar to /from Valdemossa and to anywhere else. Yes the bus from Palma stops right outside and is a regular and frequent service to Soller so it can be done without a... More

El Encinars appartments are spacey, but somewhat dated, but the view is breathtaking. The reception area and the restaurant are very nice, and the pool area is wonderful and peaceful. We spent only two nights - two middle aged grown-ups and a teenage boy - and were glad we hadn't booked more. Unless you want to walk in the mountains,... More

My daughter and I booked a couple of days at this hotel as the antithesis of visiting family residing in a busier resort, and it could not have worked out any better. I was originally a little nervous of negotiating the mountainous roads, but with care, there were no problems at all. From the moment we arrived at the hotel,... More

We stayed here for 11 nights in early September 2008. The Hotel is a little dated but very clean and comfy. Must try for a room on the seaward side, the views and sunsets are breathtaking. The pool is fine with a self-service bar, just note what you've had and pay at reception or add it to your room. Most... More

This hotel situates in the mountains, in a beautiful quiet spot. It is a peaceful, tranquil place, beautiful garden, OK pool, amazing view to the sea. Tasteful interior, helpful staff - everything clean and cozy. The only to things, that MIGHT disturb you, are the cars passing by on the road, that is just in front of the hotel building... More
