Sol Palmanova Mallorca recensioner

Great family friendly hotel, welcoming all nationalities! There are lots of Spanish staying here as well as English families. The food is good, probably a bit limited in options if you’re staying for a long time, but it was perfect for a short break. I can imagine the que for the all inclusive bar is very busy in the summer but at the start of the season it was fine. Everyone was helpful and friendly would def reccomend. Great location for the beach and bars too.

3rd April 2025 - Just got back from Sol PALMANOVA Mallorca. Went as a couple for a few nights. I would definitely recommend this hotel. The food was outstanding which a huge selection to choose from we had salmon, steak, pork, paella, pizza curry, burgers, fish on the menu daily. The hotel was very clean with it being cleaned constantly throughout the day. Amazing selection of beverages with cocktails included and self serve soft drinks to choose from. The staff were all great, friendly and approachable and spoke a high level of English. When I read some of the reviews before going to this hotel o was sceptical however, while there we were struggling to see what people were complaining about. We will definitely be going back to this hotel. The location is perfect, so close to the beach and about 30 minute taxi transfer from the airport costing roughly €50, one day. My advice is to book it, you won’t be disappointed, we had no bad experiences.

DONT BELIEVE ALL THESE NEGATIVE REVIEWS, I've just spent 5 nights here with my partner, staff friendly, room clean, amazing views, amazing location, local transport, food may be a little repetitive but plenty plenty options and some slightly different dishes each day anyways, help yourself to all drinks in the restaurant, tokens might be a little bit annoying but it is a good idea I can't argue that, at the end off the day you're paying for a 3* hotel and the holiday is only what YOU make it, we had an amazing time and would come again

Staff friendly, rooms cleaned daily, food good. 5 mins from beach, shops, cafes bars and restaurants. We stayed in the quiet season with one side of the hotel open. Nightly entertainment, and kids entertainment. Plenty of food choice for even the picky eaters. Only downsides..smoking area is too small and away from outdoor stage so cannot integrate and even though there is a kettle and cups in the room, you don't get a spoon, tea, coffee or milk. Supermarket is close by and I suggest buying water for the kettle as tap water isn't nice! Overall had an excellent stay.

Believe the terrible reviews on here as they are all true. This stands out as one of the worst hotels we've managed to book, sadly! Our room was not ready for 3 hours when we got there, all inclusive, the food choices are sadly lacking, unless you want to eat hamburgers, Pizzas, or Pigs trotters! The best meal we had was in a local curry house, we drank at a local pub so we could be served proper drinks not in paper cups. The beds are so hard, we asked for 3 extra quilts to try to make it softer, would avoid at all costs! There is a kettle in the room, but no plug nearby, so you need to move the bed to balance the kettle which is dangerous, also no cups, you have to beg, borrow, steal from the bar! It's supposedly a 3/4 star Hotel Struggling to see where! The cleaners were amazing tho.

After reading such bad reviews, we worried. But honestly did not need to worry. We have had a fabulous holiday. Stayed in Sol 1. Rooms small but we only slept in there. No issues with sunbeds. Staff amazing - kind and helpful. Room cleaned daily. Food is repetitive buts it’s an all inclusive - there was something for the whole family. Only negative, if any, is that due to my food allergy I struggled to eat - but this often with a fish allergy coming to Spain. The biggest thank you goes to the entertainment staff. Honestly bloody amazing. They worked so hard day and night to include kids and adults. Kids club was brilliant for our 7 year old and gave us adults a rest. The beach is literally minutes away and is just beautiful. We would 100% come back. Thank you Sol Palmanova

Very good hotel and would recommend it to any one had good food and nice staff and everyone was nice good pool and good entertainment at night and nice rooms to stay in and cleaners are very good and make place nice and tidy and would never go to other hotel

I’m quite a newbie to Trip Advisor but have always found it to be really helpful, when people are HONEST. And so, this is my very honest, PERSONAL experience with Sol Palmanova. I stayed here with my finance in October, for a few nights child-free break. I read the reviews prior and found them to be quite mixed. Being this is a 4-star hotel, I felt that outweighed the negativity. Neither my partner or I are particularly fussy, nor in food nor standards and we just wanted a quiet few nights peace where we didn’t have to lift a finger. The accommodation itself was ideal; really simple but clean and comfortable. With one exception, all of the staff were great; super friendly, helpful and welcoming. The one negative would be the one lady responsible for cleaning the room who was really rude when I said to her one morning “we’ll be out of your hair in 5 minutes”. I don’t know what had offended her but she then didn’t bother cleaning it at all. I had stripped the beds myself in preparation and ended up finding her trolley and doing it myself later on that evening. The food looks great, the desserts always looked perfect, the food always looked appealing. The breakfasts were quite nice, the juice always fresh, a variety of options. As for the rest of the food, unfortunately it was tasteless and repetitive; AS IN, what you have for lunch, you have for dinner. The food itself was incredibly bland, undercooked in places - the meat was inedible (as shown in pictures) and the salad gave me diarrhoea and vomiting (as confirmed by staff, from the water it is washed in). I lived on chips and smash (which again, upset my stomach from the water content). As for everything else, everything was to be expected for what we paid. PROS: - plenty of sun-loungers around (the pool outside Sol 1 is pretty shaded by mid afternoon) - The drinks were always good, and fresh - The entertainment team were fab! Not too pushy, but really friendly - The hotel is perfectly situated amongst lots of shops, bars and restaurants so plenty to do outside the hotel - The beach itself in Palmanova is beautiful! CONS: - no bottled water available, only little paper cups you can fill - The food (obviously) - Don’t be caught out by the tourism tax at reception - The hotel is quite noisy by night, obviously because it’s so central to the nightlife All in all, I feel had the food been better, the holiday would’ve been perfect. But I really struggled after just 5 days, so I can imagine it would be miserable to be there any longer.

We’ve just got back from the Sol Palmanova and we had a brilliant time! Do not listen to the bad reviews on here. This was our 6th stay here and if it were as bad as others say, why would we keep returning? Big thank you to the kids club who dedicate all day near enough to entertain all the children at the hotel and huge shout to the other members of the entertainment team who keep the big kids (adults) entertained also. Alba on the bar had a special mention. So polite and friendly. She instantly remembered us from previous visits. We had the large family room with solarium and it was simply superb. Great for our young children. 1st time we have stayed in this type of room and now we would not stay in any other for future visits. The cleaners were on hand every day and made sure our room was spotless each time it was cleaned. Towels also changed daily and bins emptied. Even made little settings in our son’s cot with his teddy’s which was a nice touch. The new all the inclusive system I think works well and keeps the hotel grounds clean and tidy with no cups just chucked on the floor for staff to pick up. Pool areas once again, spotless and tidy. Plenty of sun loungers. Also plenty of space parasols for those that like the shade. Food was always hot and plenty of it. The selection was varied for all tastes. So many choices and fresh lovely fruit put out daily. Checkin was fast and all receptionists during our stay were helpful and informative. Would we return for another visit in the future, 100% yes we would when we return to Palmanova. Thank you once again from the whole Bars family. You guys are brilliant and deserve more credit for the hard work you put in from management and reviews.

After reading pages upon pages of reviews I was feeling worried about staying here, however have just returned and had a fantastic time! We travelled as a family with 4 adults and 2 children aged 3, girls holiday. Upon arrival reception was clean and airy and we were told our 2 rooms weren’t yet ready (we arrived 1pm) but we could get our bands, leave our luggage and go to the restaurant or look around. We had booked a year in advance and requested rooms together however they were 2 floors apart, on the 7th and 9th floors, not ideal with 2 children in prams but manageable. Once our rooms were ready we attempted to take our cases but both lifts had broken! The doors just kept opening and closing so this wasn’t a great start but the staff took us in their service lift and although the lifts were temperamental and we did have to use the service lift another twice during the stay, it didn’t ruin anything. The rooms are quite small but we only stayed for 5 nights so again was manageable for 2 adults and 1 child. Aircon worked great. Food- breakfast and lunch were fine with a standard selection (although I’d say more 3* quality than 4*) of all inclusive items such as pizza, pasta, chips, rice, salad, fruit, bread, meats, cheese etc. there was always a grilled meat and grilled fish option too. Evening meals really were not great but we had expected that after reading reviews and so we ate out most nights. The location is fantastic and there are some lovely restaurants and bars really close by. Drinks- fine, standard all inclusive. A few cocktails were included and slush was also included which was good for the children. You did have to use glass beakers in the restaurant for wine and it was self pour, which just didn’t taste right not in a wine glass but never mind. The only negative is on an evening time drinks are still served in the reusable plastic cups whereas most places switch to proper glasses on an evening. You get give a token for each person upon check in and you exchange this for a cup, once you’re finished your drink you take this cup back to the bar and get a replacement, at the end of the day or when you don’t want any more drinks you can also ask for a token back. Saves wastage and rubbish so not a complaint on this. Location- fanatic you’re right near numerous beaches and just walk out of the white gates behind the pool and have numerous bars, shops, restaurants etc in close proximity. Beaches are lovely! Pools- again great, the kids pool and activity pool get thee sun all day, we were still out sunbathing at 6pm in October. The long lagoon style pool loses the sun very quickly but not many people were sat around there. There’s no issues with sunbeds and it was nice not having sunbed wars that you get in other hotels of this standard. Staff- absolutely fantastic, the photographer is great we had a photoshoot on the beach with her and the entertainment staff work so hard- special shout out to Andrea for looking after our girls in the k

We stayed 5 nights in the Sol PalmaNova, and it was a brilliant trip. The service, location and overall vibe was right up our street. The food was top notch, and while it could be repetitive, there were enough options that we could eat something different every night, and no limit on how much you could have! The beer was Amstel, (not everyone's 1st choice - You get used to it! ) but you could also get cava, vodka, bacardi, cocktails etc, so an array of options! The staff were so good, especially Ines on reception and the lads in the bar! Our only issue was that our balcony was not designed for two chairs and a table, so perhaps a smaller table would be an option, such as a little side table. We would absolutely go back again!

Worst place I’ve stayed, here right now, they don’t like English people the staff are rude not felt welcomed in any way, the food tastes mediocre, entertainment is terrible only 2 places in the whole hotel where you’re allowed to smoke, the staff only ineract with the Spanish will never be coming again

met a lovely member of staff call David, 10/10 would recommend. Food is spot on and can’t get enough, best hotel I’ve ever been to and I’m coming back next year for my birthday. The room is better than I expected and they also have a very high standard when it’s come to keeping the room clean.

Everything was great apart from the ac in our room didn't work, we reported this and nothing was done. We have now come home and all of us have bad coughs due to breathing in hot air all week, also found it strange the pool didn't open till 10am. Usually the pool is open first thing in all other hotels I've been in.
