ARRIVAL After driving from the airport and finding the hotel we navigated to the reception area, check In was easy, however as we had arrived a bit early we were told to use the luggage room to stow our things, we were happy to do this so collected some swim items and headed out to the pool, we couldn't get sunbeds or even a place to sit...more on this later. ROOM 324 After calling back to reception we were delighted to find our room ready, we were all really happy with the room, there is only 3 of us so ample room, inside, there was a luggage/walk in wardrobe with a safe which is free to use. A sofa bed with a pull out bed underneath so our daughter had a large style bed she lay across the two, we rang reception for extra pillows which arrived on time for a siesta. Separate bedroom with typical Spanish layout , two single beds, side tables with pull out drawers large mirror and seating area. Sockets on both sides. Bathroom again your typical Spanish style bathroom sink, toilet, bidet and a bath with over head shower complete with stick to your bum shower curtain and a small powered hairdryer. There are a few toiletries in the bathroom, but I'd advise to bring your own shower gel as the soap didn't really get rid of the days suncream. Living room does have a fridge with some drinks in. These are not refilled so once they are gone that's it. TV is on the wall in the living room, no English channels working though. Outside a very large day sunbed so comfy on a balcony that gets the sun all day, small table and chairs, balcony overlooks a garden style area and the lift from the street, you can see the pool and the sea. POOL AND SURROUNDINGS Oh dear me...I'm sorry to have to agree with everyone's posts on this pool, it's a terrible design and if you're not part of the 6 am club then you will not have a chance of a sunbed come 9 am. Pool towels are provided by the hotel which was fortunate. Now, I've been coming to Majorca for must be 20 years and I've never known a pool area run by such little staff, the lifeguard is doing the job of another worker by collecting people's cups, the way the sunbeds are positioned means you have to walk in-between them, people's clothes get knocked off and trampled into disgusting water as no where has been mopped leading to a slippy surface, the pool bar is quite delapidated and dirty looking. Travelling further down to the said beach, this is used by the locals who aren't very happy to share their space, it's a pebble beach and has a lot of pieces of seaweed and very sharp rocks that jut out of the sea. Further round you can walk and drop down to a seating area with umbrellas and sunbeds, however these will cost you €45. Husband and Daughter had the absolute best time in the sea snorkeling, but buy your snorkel in the UK if you're thinking of doing it. FOOD AND ALL INC Truthfully I've had better, it's quite repetitive and quite bland, you certainly won't starve though. Now the off putting thing there i
