Barceló Illetas Albatros - Adults Only

We had a wonderful 4 night stay for our honeymoon in a superior sea view room on a half board basis. Every area of the hotel was spotless and every member of staff polite and helpful. The food was delicious in both restaurants. A special mention to Ivonne and Andrea fir there above and beyond service. The pool area was immaculate with a dedicated member of staff on duty for safety. The spa/well being area was truly relaxing. The views and private cove were beautiful. Nothing was too much trouble. Beautiful walks to other beaches and there were a few bars and restaurants should you require food elsewhere.

This was a very last minute trip with my husband. The hotel was already almost full so we only had the option for a standard room. The room was compact but very clean and perfect for what we needed; we would usually like a balcony and a view but we didn't spend much time in the room so this didn't bother us. They have tea making facilities and toiletries available in the rooms. The hotel facilities are lovely and clean and the staff are super helpful and friendly. We booked bed and breakfast, there was a variety of choices every morning that did not disappoint. The pool and surrounding areas were beautiful, with fantastic views and plenty of sunbeds, they also provided clean pool towels daily, which was a nice touch. There are a few small cove beaches near by too. The area is quiet, there are a few restaurants within walking distance but busses are cheap and regular so you can visit nearby villages. We went to Puerto Portals, Cala Major, into Palma city and took a trip to soller. The location was perfect for us, we wanted quiet and relaxing but also the option for more lively with sightseeing, all which we easily achieved. I would definitely come back to this hotel.

The staff are brilliant, front desk, bar staff, cleaners, waiters were perfect in every way. We had a side sea view room which was fine without being outstanding. Food at breakfast suffered from some items being always cold. Beans, sausages and bacon were the main culprits but the omelettes were perfectly cooked. Dinner was a buffet and we had no real complaints. Our biggest disappointment was there was not a lot to do during the day except use the Spa which we don’t do and absolutely no entertainment at night other a very good night on New Year’s Eve. Every other night- nothing at all. There is also nothing nearby except a very small supermarket. The bus into the city of Palma stops outside of the hotel and is every 10 minutes and costs 2 euros. What it is like in the summer, I can’t comment on but for the fact that we like things to do in our hotel, we will not be returning but thank you staff, you were exceptional.

overall an enjoyable stay just a few minor issues. staff are very accommodating and the hotel justifies the four star rating

We returned to this special place for the second year running for Christmas week. The standard of everything was just as good with no sign of cutting corners something that is happening almost everywhere these days. The staff make you feel very welcome nothing too much trouble. Rooms comfortable and clean. Buffet breakfast certainly sets you up for the day. Choice is amazing and all fresh. Christmas Eve buffet recommended. Very easy to get into Palma with a €2 fare just outside the Hotel. Taxis and restaurants booked efficiently. Much easier than hiring a car unless you want to explore further afield.

Stayed with my daughter for a few days and had a great relaxing stay. We'd been to Illetes before but to a different hotel. Had two side sea view rooms with great views as they were close to the sea end of the hotel. Everything about the hotel is fantastic. Great location and rooms. Immaculate throughout. Friendly and helpful staff. Nice Bar/lounges etc. Pool area and Spa. Small stone beach and sea swimming from steps. A very extensive included breakfast. I had the buffet dinner one night which was very good with show cooking and lots of choice. It was the end of the season so fairly quiet and many nearby restaurants were closed but there were a few open. The bus to Palma goes very frequently from outside the hotel ( 2 euros each way pay on bus) so wide choice to eat there too. Parking tip - the hotel has a car park at 14 euros per day but we used the large free municipal car park near the entrance to Illetes (next to a Petrol Station) which is good. It's a short walk up the (many) steps and then a path which comes out opposite the hotel. Would definitely stay here again.
