Aparthotel Playa Dorada

Just returned from a beautiful 4 nights stay here. We thought it was lovely. The room we had a big clean and the air con was very welcomed as it was very hot! Stunning sea view. The evening entertainment was ace especially the uptown band. Food was okay definitely something for everyone. We didn't struggle to find something we liked. Staff were polite and helpful. Was a nice atmosphere here. Easy to access the local restaurants, beach, and airport transfers only took 1hr from palma. Was definitely sad to leave. Would definitely recommend the roof terrace for a more quiet chilled sunbathing experience. We didn't see anyone on there during our stay. Overall I'd recommend to others. We stayed 1st floor room 106 and it was lovely.

The hotel looks fantastic from the pictures, but in reality this hotel is the worst I’ve stayed in. The reception looks fancy, but everything else is absolutely disgraceful. We checked in on Saturday into a room that we thought was going to be gorgeous. Turns out there was electrical hazards in our room, rust, dust, mould, no air con, shower head holder was broken, the safe was broken, rooms were not cleaned properly. The balcony in both rooms also had rust, cracks, and dirt everywhere. Our hotel room door also didn’t close properly, we had to slam it shut and even with that it could still be opened from the outside. We rarely saw cleaners going around the hotel. our room was just thrown together quickly without cleaning up to standard for guests. Our room was only cleaned twice over the 5 nights we stayed. We also had to go down to reception to ask for clean towels as ours weren’t changed. Staff were very rude at the reception when we went down twice to complain about the room. We were told to wait until the next day for the air con to be looked at. Keep in mind the day / night was 28-32 degrees. There was no way we could sleep in that heat. We got another room and was told it was “our lucky day” one of the receptionist practically threw the room keys at us. The new room we got was better especially because it had working air con. When we went for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, there was a poor choice of food. Some of the food was cold, plates were dirty, and the same with the cutlery. We ended up not even eating in the hotel after paying for all inclusive. This is absolutely disgraceful as there wasn’t many choices for food. My boyfriend got pork steak pieces, and they were cold, rock solid, and you could not chew it what’s so ever. I am ever disappointed with my stay in this hotel. Everything looks really good from the reception, but when you go to the rooms, pool, sun lounges, and dining room, it’s an absolute disgrace. It was definitely not worth the money we paid for this. We stayed here 5 nights and will never return to this hotel.

We booked this as a last minute holiday and was overall very happy with our stay. The location was great, just a short walk to both S’Illot & Sa Coma, and located directly on the beach front. Our room was modern and had a great view of the beach front. The only downfall to the room was the bathroom which was a little bit dated. The pool area was nice, and we never struggled for a sunbed and there are plenty of umbrellas. The only problem we thought was you could sit the sunbeds up it was just flat, I would suggest taking a blow up pillow for the pool to make it more comfortable. The drinks were great, there was a choice of cocktails on the all inclusive and we thought all of them were lovely! The bar staff were very friendly. I am a fussy eater so I did struggle with the food some days as it was mainly fish and not always a great variety of food. If you are looking for lots of entertainment/animation it might not be the best choice. There was just water polo at 4, and a mini disco in the evenings. Occasionally there was a band on after and a parrot show once. We would return in future!

The hotel is perfect at first glance. Great service, clean rooms, the morning sunrise view from the balcony is indescribable. There is a kettle and cups in the room, but there is no coffee or tea, which you have to bring from downstairs. The food is a huge minus, frozen food and frozen food. Unfortunately, my child ate French fries for a week. Maybe it was better because the quality of frozen products was not that great either. Only the cakes were ok. Moldy fruit on a tray... The biggest minus and why I will never come back to this hotel is that we went for a mini breakfast at 4 a.m. before departure. I wanted to make toast because there was nothing else, but there were cockroaches everywhere! Food should be secured if there is such a problem. It's an unpleasant situation when you pick up bread and there is a cockroach on it. There were more of them on the countertops. If it weren't for this early breakfast, I probably wouldn't even know about them. Oh, and I was there at the end of the season and unfortunately most of the alcohols were not available in the bar during the last few days.

Im on my 3rd day here. Got a 4 day holiday with loveholidays for £250pp all inclusive flights and transfers. The value of this holiday is outstanding. The hotel is kept very clean. Staff very helpful and polite. Our room as pictured. For me and two teenage sons is great however the sofa bed is not comfy its hard. Apart from that the room is perfect. Clean and shower nice and hot. Balcony looks over pool and sea its beautiful. Other balconies are very close so u can meet your neighbours lol. The location of this hotel is perfect. There is a locked door you use your room key from the pool area directly onto the beach. To the right of that there is a cycle hire shop. We have used this twice now. The red cycle path is 12km in total will take you on a lovely safe ride passing many bars and resturants. The first part takes you away from the beach then you come back onto ride along the beach. The beaches are stunning light sand and clear water. Back at the hotel i have found the pool becomes shaded in the afternoon from the hotel. This could be a blessing if boiling hot. However if you want full sun just step onto the beach. The food is adequate and i wouldnt want to eat here for a week just because the only meat i eat is chicken. Its a shame the mixed salads and pizza has ham on them as for vegetarians it is limited. Lunch time i quite often eat poatoes and salad. Its all lovely and fresh. For the price ive paid im happy to eat out aswell. The all inclusive is great for two teenage boys that can eat 2 or 3 plates full and still go out for a pizza 🤣. The bar drinks are great you only get plastics around the pool. Otherwise served in a glass. They have 4 cocktails on tap. Ive tried 3. Love on the beach was strong. Pina colada tequila sunrise delicious. Soft drinks on tap help yourself. They also offer you more than 1 drink at a time. Theres a cute little dance routine about 8.30pm which is good for under 7s they get the kids running about and the outside entertainment area is nice and clean overlooking the pool and beach you can also dine out here. The hotel has a good atmosphere. Plenty of people. Ive not seen any party ***** or liveliness so if your young wanting to party i do not recommend you would be disappointed. For young familys and couples wanting a relaxing time its great.

Very nice hotel especially for a 3 star. Room was lovely, big and clean. beds were comfortable. Room had a fridge, hair dryer, and plenty of plug sockets. good amount of storage. Staff were pleasant and helpful. Pool area is nice but shady in the early afternoon, Sun beds need updating as they are fixed in position and are not adjustable, but there appeared to be plenty for all. Bar area is nice but not enough seating for everyone to sit outside which was a little disappointing if you want to sit outside in the evening to have a drink and relax and enjoy the weather. Nice beach and shops near by. Food was okay, but a bit repetitive and unimaginative after a few days, but well cooked, and plentiful. Evening entertainment was awful to be honest, out of a 9 night stay they had one parrot show which was boring, and three bands (2 of which were okay) other than that it was bingo. Who ever books the entertainment needs sacking as it was very bad. The hotel next door had much better entertainment and all appeared to be really enjoying it, up dancing and singing etc. Hotel had free wifi in the main reception / bar area but you have to pay to use it in your room (don't bother paying for it as it is rubbish and not worth paying for as it doesn't work efficiently, and your wasting your money). Would I return - YES!
