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.

One of my criteria in booking this location was onsite parking. When I arrived all the construction meant that the parking situation was a find one if you can scenario. The beds were also very uncomfortable.

Firstly the following does not reflect the front staff. Arrived to find the front entrance under construction and no area to park to check in, no instructions to the parking garage which was located behind the building and had to travel many blocks to find it. Had to carry my own bags up 3 flights of stairs as no elevator in garage and no where to park in front of hotel to unload the bags. Next the bed in our room was on an old cheap spring frame (not a box sping matress) that would squeak very loudly when you moved. Not what was expected at a Meila propery( maybe at a cheap 1 star property.) Went front desk to try and get a room with a proper box sping matress to be able to get a decent nights rest,only option was to upgrade our room at our expense of and addional 50 euros per night. The front staff tried their best to help us out. These failures fall on the hotel management and Melia.

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.
