Hotel Pantai di Playa de Palma

I agree with others’ comments about the cleanliness and friendliness (and lovely smiles) of all staff at the unpretentious Tent Capi Playa, the lukewarm buffet dishes, and the lack of bedroom fridge and tea/coffee making facility………… but there is a safe and hairdryer…… and hot and cold drinks machines in the foyer available 24/7. I loved the concept of a brunch service, available from 08.30 till 01.30; you can visit as often as you like and eat as much as you like. They even put out pizza slices later in the session. I couldn’t find an English-language TV channel………. seems to require the hotel to connect to a cable service?........ though there are loads of Spanish, French and German channels. The pool is quite small (no-one used it during my March visit) and there are sun loungers, bean bags, ‘normal’ tables and chairs….. and even a couple of hammocks! Sadly, they play awful and loud “music” over the outdoor loudspeaker system……… and, then, there’s those folk who cannot go on holiday without using their mobile phones incessantly! There are loads of restaurants and bars within easy walking distance and the local bendy bus (mostly green and white) stop is just under 2 blocks away from the hotel. There are 2 services – the A2 goes to the airport (cost €5pp) and the No 25 goes to Palma in one direction and s’Arenal in the other (cost €2pp for any length of a single journey). If you’re coming to the hotel catch the bus labelled No A2 at the airport or “25 s’Arenal” from Palma and watch the onboard info screen for “Proxima parada (next stop) Balneari 9” and press one of the red stop buttons to alert the driver. The hotel is just around 200 yards back. Pay the driver with cash as you board (but don’t use a higher than €10 note), take your change and ticket. If you’re going to/from the airport, the journey time is about 25 minutes and runs at 45 minute intervals. If you’re going to Palma the bus is labelled “Catedral – Palma Express”. There’s a bus every 10 to 12 minutes or so and it takes around 35 minutes to the cathedral or about a further 10 minutes to “Proxima parada Placa d’Espanya” where the main island modern train and bus station (Estacio Intermodal) and historic Soller train station are both just across the busy road from the bus stop (“H”). Beware, though, the Palma bus could be hugely overcrowded, or full, especially at ‘rush’ hour heading for Palma…… and that was in March. Several times it was so full that it didn’t even stop though once or twice there was a second bus right behind. The historic train station is accessed through a café over the road to the left of the two low white buildings. You’ll probably need to buy a ticket in advance (online, one week beforehand) and I recommend you add the tram down to Port de Soller. I paid €39 for the combined round trip. The modern railway station is down the escalator to the left of the left-hand low white building to level -1 and the regional bus station (red/white/yellow busses) is via an

Great modern hotel set on the beach.we stayed in a sea view apartment and hired a car to see the island and shopped at lidl and ate out in can pastilla rather than pay their tidy sum to dine in the hotel.We would have liked an oven to cook meals however the rings of the hob did meals well.wonderful maids and the indoor pool made this a welcome short break plus the sun came out which was a bonus in January!

En general bien, hemos estado un fin de semana en invierno y quizás (y es entendible) no está todo ambientado para cuando hace frío. En la habitacion tuvimos frío pero rapidamente nos ayudaron y nos trajeron un calefactor y luego una manta. Un punto negativo esque quizas hay que hacerle mejor mantenimiento a las habitaciones para que no se filtren insectos indeseados🙄 El personal genial, llegamos a las 10am y ya teniamos nuestra habitacion lista (siendo que el check in es mas tarde). Nos invitaron a desayunar el primer dia, y hago hincapié en este punto ya que el desayuno es Brutal. Para todos los gustos, si eres vegano, vegetariano hay gran variedad de frutas, quesos, hay cocineros pata tener tortilla calentita y camareros sirviendote todo el café que necesites. Es un hotel quizas sea por la epoca, de gente mayor y alemana, cosa que no fue un inconveniente en absoluto para nosotros. El entorno quizas un poco desolado ya que estaba casi todo cerrado y para ir al centro nos teniamos que tomar un autobus de 25minutos pero salvo por eso todo genial. Pasamos muchas horas en el Spa y la verdad esque estuvo genial. Tienen un bar muy mono y los camareros geniales.

Arrived a little early and our room was ready to go straight there. We both liked the hotel, it’s an adults only so, no crying and not too much noise. We slept well, found the bed better than ours at home with modern facilities and natural materials used throughout the whole hotel. We enjoyed the beach, always beds and shades available with a shallow sea, I did go swimming but it was very cold and I didn’t manage it everyday. You are spoilt for choice with cafes, restaurants and bars, with enough shops to browse in The hotel offers excellent service, all we ate was hot, well cooked and great quality and the spots of interest like the roof bar give it the edge. Welcoming and comfortable in all areas, this was a great experience.

We were advised from travel agency that this was a nice 5* hotel with a good beach nearby. I mean, this hotel is not bad, and the staff was very nice and helpful, we travelled with 2 small kids and the staff made us fell very welcomed. I know the surrounding area is not hotel's fault, but its definitely more for the teens or younsters who party hard every night. Everywhere is graffiti, theres no nice souvenir shop- only the cheap bs that people buy when drunk but back to the review. The elevator didnt work the whole 7 days and when we asked why they dont call the service to fix it, we were told they call it but no one came. Peefect. So imagine waiting 5-10mins to go down with the one elevator that worked for 8 floors plus -1 floor. We had to use stairs to go down with two pushchairs in our hands. When it comes to food, everyday was a different theme which was nice, the food was good but all the cakes were from frozen semi-finished products and not hotel made, which is a big minus for me as a baker. You have to pay for your drinks when having dinner, even water. I dont think this hotel looks like 5*, especially the vending machines made it look super cheap and when i asked for the luggage weight, you have to pay 1€ for each weighting which is super ridiculous. The room service didnt do much of cleaning, where there was a bit of a sand on the floor, it was there for our whole stay. They only changed the towels, made up the sheets and thats it, didnt even change the sheets. The room was lacking a lot of stuff for 5* hotel, like weight, wardrobe for the clothes, some essentials for hygiene, a little sewing kit and so on. We will not return to this hotel and you better find somewhere else without the screaming drunk german teens and graffiti all around. At last, i have to thank again to the staff, they made our stay much better.

The hotel was beyond my expectations. Good reception, wonderful meals, and a relaxing hotel Everything was perfect. Thank you to the management and stuff. Perfect choice in Mallorca. Definitely, we will stay again.

The reception was so polite and helpful and very welcoming as we arrived. The room was incredible and clean with a pool outside the balcony which was as a treat. The staff were so polite and very accommodating with all of our needs. They made us feel special everyday. The facilities were very clean and amazing. The breakfast that was included in our room was very nice. We were able to have breakfast until 1pm which we have never experienced in a hotel before so we didn’t have to rush every morning for breakfast. The room was kept clean every day and there was no rush as the cleaning ladies came in when we were ready so this also helped us to be more relaxed. We thank Paradise Garden for the Best experience with my fiancé. We will 100% be back and also recommend to all of our clients.

Beautiful hotel, good breakfast, friendship personal for hotel.Senks for Irina- reception!Senk’s for personal menagerie!Excellent staff,beautiful pool,sea 3 minutes from the hotel.My daughter and I loved this hotel and the friendly staff. ❤️👍

We found the hotel, rooms and dining were all very good. The staff were very helpful and eager to please, especially the very attentive security guard who looked after our bikes in the car park. You can catch a direct bus to Palma from right outside the hotel. The hotel is just a few minutes walk from the beach, bars and restaurants. The only caveat I would have is make sure this hotel is for you. This is, to an extent, a party resort and the hotel reflects this. The guests were predominantly groups of single males, of all ages , with the odd hen party. There was a lot of late night/early morning noise and drunken singing and the bar was often raucous although we never saw any loutish or aggressive behaviour. Just people having a very good time. If you are looking for a relaxing family holiday or romantic getaway I would recommend you consider other hotels.

Tolles Hotel für einen Winter-Kurztrip. Die Lage ist super, 200m zum Strand (trotzdem nicht zu sehr im Party-Tourismus), Autobahn ist 1 min entfernt (ideal wenn man einen Mietwagen hat und Anschluss an die Insel haben möchte). Die Zimmer haben einen kleinen Kühlschrank und sehr bequeme Betten. Das Essen ist für ein 4 Sterne Hotel entsprechend gut. Toll: Im Winter ist der Außenpool beheizt (24/25°) und man kann sogar im Februar Nachmittags, wenn die Sonne scheint, schwimmen.!
