Recó de Randa

I originally chose Reco' de Randa because we were in Mallorca for a wedding, and the hotel was conveniently about equidistant from the rehearsal dinner and wedding (in different directions). It is located in a pretty spot in a very small town in the countryside. The hotel was pleasant. Staff was friendly and helpful; one volunteered to solve an issue during our stay that saved us paying for an additional room. We had a delicious lunch plus two very nice breakfasts out on the terrace (with delightful view). Parking was tricky, however. One either had to park in a very cramped upper lot, up a narrow, winding lane which was difficult to find. Or one could park in a much larger lower lot which, however, was gated and locked at midnight. We arrived during the day, so it was easier to find the hotel (though not that easy-- signage could be improved). But other family members arrived late at night and had quite a difficult time finding the hotel and that tricky upper parking lot. Additionally, one needed a key (which we gave them) to enter a small back entrance after midnight. Practically impossible for them to find without our help. (We were shown by an employee during the day.)

Our stay at the hotel was fantastic. The room was spacious, well maintained and had a beautiful view over the landscape. I felt that the area was relaxing, peaceful and also conveniently located for travelling to either coast of Mallorca. My partner and I loved being at the hotel, and only wished we could stay for longer! Also, the swimming pool areas were lovely, relaxing and the clientele of the hotel was nice. There were no screaming kids, and seemed to attract only middle to older couples which made this hotel particularly relaxing for us. Everyone was friendly, the staff were welcoming and did everything they could to help us when needed. The cleaning staff were fantastic, and we returned to our room every evening to find it had been cleaned with fresh towels etc. Great.
