Agroturismo Son Galceran

Stunning location with 360 views of forest, orange and olive trees. Spacious bedroom and bathroom, amazing balcony with comfortable private sun loungers. Fantastic views from the room. Fantastic pool and terrace with comfortable sun loungers. Walking distance to a few restaurants. Bus to Palma stops a few mins from hotel. The cons… Road noise early in the morning along with cockerels and neighing donkeys - to be expected in rural areas. Not a 4 star hotel, glass window in the bedroom and bathrooms cracked. To charge your phone up you have to unplug bedside lights as there is a real shortage of electrical points. Had to boil the kettle in the bathroom. Mattress uncomfortable, had to sleep on top of the quilt. No milk for the coffee in the room had to ask every day for some. The bar isn’t really a bar, it’s a fridge that isn’t manned and if you want a drink the receptionist will serve you but you have to find them and it has to be before 9pm. They sell single packets of crisps as snacks and that’s all. If you want to hang by the pool suggest you go to the nearby village and buy some food to keep in your fridge in your room for lunch. No English channels on the TV or Wi-Fi despite saying they had both. The pool was by far the best feature set amongst attractive gardens and patio. However came back one day and it had no water in it! Was really looking forward to a swim So that’s partly what you pay for. Breakfast adequate, only continental available - nothing hot, and same thing every day. It was enough but nothing special. I had to boil the kettle in the breakfast area to make my own coffee every day. Overall - beautiful building lovely room with fantastic balcony but the rest let it down.

We loved this place. Amazing staff, beautiful room, huge balcony with private sunbeds and extra seating, excellent breakfast. The grounds are gorgeous, and the pool too. There's an all day bar with snacks and drinks. Pretty and proper Spanish town of Esporles is a 10 minute walk with 3 or 4 really good restaurants, a couple of stores and a fab pizzeria. A wonderful week, wish we'd stayed longer, faultless.

Their website is totally misleading. Only part of the hotel offers original historic rooms - the rest are annexes but are not described as such. I booked a ‘garden’ view room which turned out to be a dingy hole the standard of which one might expect in a hostel.The view was of a wall, drainpipe and air-conditioning unit. The ‘mini bar’ is a totally empty fridge, not even water, let alone tea or coffee. The bathroom does not have a bath and the shower was filthy with drain covered in previous occupants hair and fittings so rusty that they could not have possibly been cleaned for years. The only place I could get wifi was at the breakfast table. Pool looked nice but too cold to use and surrounded by an area covered in cigarette butts etc. Killer mosquitoes are on patrol all day long & no deterrent supplied in room. I was supposed to stay 2 weeks but checked out as soon as I found a suitable alternative - a beautiful design led place charging the same as Son Galceran! No help or apology from elderly couple who run the place. I wrote a letter of complaint to what I assumed was the owner and received no reply. A disgrace on every level.
