All inclusive that should be Fairly inclusive. Safetybox is extra (3 euro/day) Kettle is extra charge (3 euro/day) Bathtowels is deposit 10 euro each and extra cost 2 euro per change. The breakfast was a wide range and everything you are looking for is included here and in good quality. The lunch was embarrassingly bad. The majority felt like semi-finished products that had come frozen from a box. Snacks between meals were not much to cheer about. Scant selection and reminded me of lunch. Dinner was the same size as breakfast but the quality was not even close to Ala Carte. You get full, but it's not a culinary experience. The drinks were among the worst I have witnessed and feel watery. The wine served tastes more like vinegar than wine. The soft drink is classic syrup that is mixed on site. I only recommend breakfast as an addition. All inclusive or half board is not worth the money. The cleaning was very good and polite staff. The staff is very nice except for a woman at the reception who checked us in from the beginning. We wondered right from the start what kind of bad place this was. Pools, among the best I have seen in my travels. However, the lifeguards are more interested in their mobile phones than the tourists in the pool. I recommend this hotel to the family who wants good water entertainment for the children and close to the beach. However, you must be prepared to spend additional money for a good meal at the local restaurants.

Nice enough hotel and good value. Few bits to smarten up, no different to anywhere else. Biggest frustrations were the rules with the swimming pools. Can’t enter the area (inc grabbing a sun lounger) until 10am (never experienced this before), and lifeguards are grumpy beyond words and chastise the kids for anything bar swimming on the surface, and there’s no inflatables allowed, which my kids love (wagon wheels etc). Food was very limited by choice, average quality and doesn’t change much day to day. Nothing special and clearly regurgitated from breakfast to lunch to tea, but it was ok. Reception staff were very friendly and helpful and it’s brilliantly located for the water park and the Pirates of Majorca show (both five min away and excellent).

The kids club in the hotel was very great and the instructors were !! There are many activities for kids. But if you are sensitive to heat, I don’t recommend it. They don’t turn on the AC in the building and the ac in the chambre is too weak. Some of hotel staffes in the front are not kind.

Really good hotel for families and location nice. Main issue (which was shared by nearly evry guest there) is not enough lifts to cater for the property.

Beautiful hotel excellent for family.nice and clean. Children loved the the pools. Plenty of sun beds. Downside really are the food, not good at all. The catering staff should be changed immediately. Night entertainment good in the weekend. But during the week is waste of time.

We stayed 3 days here in Aug 2021 with 1.5 year old daughter. Millions of hotels in Mallorca but there's only few hotels having pool for toddlers with fountain and attraction. Sol Barbados is only 1 hotel in Palma area with that kind of nice pool as my search. in addition, it's located good place and also price friendly. i recommend here for family with toddler.

I do not recommend the hotel. The price is not justified by conditions. The food is poor in quality, the unconsumed food is served at the following meals. The fruits are not edible does not look good. The rooms do not have a minimum of facilities for heating water or coffee. These devices were for a fee. The pools are ok for kids ..

If you want a good night sleep, then don’t come here! The bed was so hard and extremely uncomfortable so we couldn’t sleep at all. The pool(s) where so cold so our kid didn’t even want to go in during our visit (we were there in june...). The breakfast at the restaurant was bad, and our kid drank old orange juice and puked (!) because of it. Wouldn’t go back... Average grade: 2/5.

The room was spacious and ours had a very nice sun deck. The hotel had all kinds of activities organized throughout the day that guests could attend, like workouts by the pool and performances at night. The only thing for us was the rooms are not very soundproof, we could hear kids running down the hallway, the music at night until 23:30, and the pipes from upstairs using their bathroom
