We are big travelers, and a family of 4. When looking at destinations the hotel is very important…read more We have been to 50+ countries and some 30+ times. When going somewhere new we always do a lot of research. In Europe in the summer we definitely need a good AC system. We also much rather stay at a local hotel vs a huge group (not that there is anything wrong with that). When doing research we almost stayed in the Maaloof are which is good if your going to go drinking and clubbing but with 2 kids its not for us. I then looked into smaller towns and being on a nice beach is a must! So I somehow came across the Introutel group and of those hotels found the Esmeralda Park. It was about to be fully remodeled and that was important to us also. We booked a ocean front suite which was perfect of the 4 of us and looked exactly like the renderings! I think we were the first people in the room and the hotel overall was amazing! The pools were great, Dragoland (the kids water park) was great, the restaurants were great and although the hotel was crowded it never felt that way. Its well laid out and the staff really run it well! It was about a hour south of Palma, but easy to get to. You can also walk to town for a million good restaurants. I would highly recommend it for family vacations!

About an hour's drive from the airport, this resort i just lovely, relaxing, and just a great…read morevacation. There's a little alcove bay and it's a lovely sight if you're sitting on the restaurant bar with terrace. It's very full of families during the summer and they mostly hang out at the beach and pools throughout the day. The terrace bar is great to have a glass of beer. Relatively inexpensive and the food is not great, but decent! The morning breakfast buffet was way above my expectations. It's seriously comparable to a Vegas breakfast buffet. You can stuff yourself silly and it will last you throughout the day. Who needs lunch? We had the breakfast every day of our stay. Definitely a thumbs up! Rooms are suite style with balcony and kitchenette. It's clean and we had an updated suite in the J building. A bit far from the center of the hotel but it was nicely renovated. There is free parking for guests. I do recommend that you take the bus from the airport to the hotel. You honestly don't need a car here b/c everything is just walkable. Definitely recommended for families!

A very beautiful place but the pool was cold every restaurant I went to had really good foodread more
