Sol Palmanova Mallorca

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

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

This hotel was a cheap family break for 6 of us and a baby. The staff are friendly and the cleaners go out of their way for you. Rooms are cleaned every day but you can ask them to skip a day if you prefer. The food is average but plenty of choice. Good for the price we paid to stay. Some of the entertainment was good but the disco after seems to be for Spanish only. The hotels location is amazing your a 2minute walk from the beach where there is lots of shops, bars and restaurants. There is good transport if you are thinking of touring. Some of our rooms are quite small but mine was ok. The TV has some English channels but we could only get two of them. Some of our rooms had more weirdly. There is a kettle in the room but strangely no plug socket near it so a bit of a hassle if you want a brew. I recommend bringing tea bags. The ones here are very weak. The drinks in general are ok but I’ve had better in other hotels I’ve stayed in. Now the down side, we went out one night and got to our room at about 12:30am to be met by a huge cockroach. I’ve seen ones this size before in America but never in Spain. It was a shock and it actually chased me 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣 Overall though we had a great stay here and I would come back again. Great value for money and great location.

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.
