What a stunning property in Mallorca. While in town for a wedding, the brides recommended this spot…read moreas one of their favorite hotels in the area and I can see why. First of all, the views from the main building are absolutely stunning. Think panoramic views of ocean and sand with a beautiful pool that looks like it's floating in the ocean. That alone had me obsessed, but then I saw my room. When staying you can book in the main building, or the suites located in a passageway across the street which you access underground. We booked a room in the main building and got upgraded to the ocean view which was awesome. The room was quite large, with a large separate bathroom space which had the toilet and shower in one room with a tub and sink in the entryway which was great for girls sharing a room. We were also able to add a cot to the room for an extra 125 Euro a night and even with that, the room felt spacious. There is not a lot of natural light, as the one window that we had was super small, but the stunning views made up for it. The service from the folks at the hotel was super friendly. They offer room service, a spa, breakfast every day (include with suites or a la carte with a regular room), and amazing poolside service. I also love that you can go into the ocean straight from stairs attached to the pool. I really enjoyed my stay here. If you want to splurge a little and enjoy the views and amenities this is the perfect spot. It was great to unwind here amidst some jam-packed wedding festivities.

Maricel looks like an old palace, but it was built in 1948 to look that way. Back in the day, movies stars and royalty stayed here. It closed in the 80s and then reopened in 2002 with expanded rooms. Most rooms have terraces and ocean views. There is an infinity pool, a bar and cabanas that are busy in season. You can get massages in treatment nooks overlooking the water. There is a restaurant that serves incredible breakfasts and lunches. The main spa facility also has a separate business center for retreats and events. That area accessible by tunnel is mid century modern, but the overall aesthetic is neo-classical. The staff are friendly and discreet from the front desk to the restaurant servers to the cheerful maids who do a very thorough job maintaining the rooms. You even have a pillow library to pick just the right one for a good night's sleep. The bathroom is white marble with a soaking tub and dual handheld / rain shower. We stayed in #14, one of the best on the property.

Starting off by saying the property is stunning! We arrived and were giving a welcome drink - which…read moreI love. The breakfast is absolutely amazing, there's even live music- it's a great start to your day. Location is okay but definitely need to uber or drive. The blinds in our room were broken and never fixed (which is okay for us because we like waking up to the sun) and service was very slow by the pool. Overall, it was a great experience but for the price I expected a bit more.

I've got to admit that after an early morning flight and dealing with all the bros and hos at the…read morePalma airport, I was a bit nervous about what Majorca would have in store for our holiday. Of course, from the minute we arrived at the St. Regis, those concerns were put to rest. It was paradise in paradise, sunny days in the mid eighties. We were promptly greeted by one of the hosts while a porter tended to our luggage. Seated on the beautiful wrap around terrace, we answered a few check in questions with our host and were treated to a welcome cocktail and snacks. At this early hour, our room was not ready so we just took a short walk to grab some lunch in Porto Portals. They had called us by the time we were finished and let us know everything was all set for us. And let me tell you, we were all set. Upgraded to a top floor suite with a killer beach and pool view in an enormous room that lacked nothing. The porter arrived as we did and explained a few things about the resort and provided some know how to all the switches and thoughtful touches of our suite. Our suite had an excellent designers touch to it, with impressive decor and paintings of some of Palma's famous sites. There was no shortage of storage space in the entry hallway/dressing room. Bathroom was all marble, complete with double sinks, soaking tub, shower and separate toilet/bidet room that was even accessible from the entrance lobby. Full office desk with any kind supply or outlet you may need. There were chairs and a chase to relax in next to the mini bar up front by the windows in the lounge area. The bed itself was very comfy and I loved the ergonomic pillows that we found in the closet, slept like a baby. The balcony patio was another nice place to hang out and take in the view from the table or chase. Service was impeccable and the flawless way that everyone spoke Spanish and English made me ashamed to not be multilingual. We got hooked up with a nice breakfast rate and were very pleased with the buffet. I typically stuck to what was local and stuffed myself on chorizo, jamon, the fantastic oranges of the area and the sinfully good ensaimada. Staff got us set up with chairs and towels by the pool and helped out with the brellie for my fair skinned lady. I was also happy that even the valets were quick with taxis and spoke Spanish to our drivers to avoid any misunderstandings. We had a splendid stay here and an impeccable meal at Es Fum (attached a photo of the menu). The St. Regis didn't miss a beat. I also learned a few things about the St. Regis and Majorca in general: -Started by John Jacob Astor -A commitment to technology which was clear with all of the outlets, lights and switches and full keypads on both sides of the bed (very thoughtful) that controlled everything from the lights to the ceiling fan and drapes -Known for the Butler service which we wised up to use to book tables for our dinner reservations, you'll need them if you want a decent table anywhere -The oranges on Majorca are as good as you'll ever eat -The train to Soller was a bunch of fun -There are a lot of Germans on Majorca and I was constantly high fived in my Deutschland kit by other supporters of the 2014 World Cup Champions -Bros don't stay at the St. Regis, thankfully

Once we placed our orders we never saw our waiter again until we payed. In my opinion I think he thought we weren't going to spend a lot of money on bottles, so didn't come around.

Cheap drink and food still welcome for the more mature clientele, but a special mention for my hotel, the Sol Antillas, at the end of Playa Magaluf with spectacular views along the beach and out to sea. My deal was B&B, but what a breakfast...enough variety to provide a different meal every morning for a week: all kinds of eggs, bacon, various local sausages; then the cold counter, with a mix of Spanish meats and cheeses; then the home baked array of breads, cakes and biscuits; then the fruits, cereals etc etc. Topped off with lashings of hot drinks, fruit juices.... You'll understand that lunch was off the menu this past week...I needed a break to fast after breakfast!

All inclusive hotels have a chance to make a good impression but they ruin it with the nickel diming bs. The beach wavers between nice and seaweedy (also you have to pay €13 to sit on a chair) The rooms are fine, the elevators smell terrible and are super hot. The bar staff is great, fast efficient but not friendly. The restaurant staff hates you and any request you make. Also my 3 year old loved the food.

We had half board and the selection was amazing. Lots of local specialities but also European staples like pizza & chips too. Breakfast included hot & cold selections and both breakfast and dinner had "show" cooking or chefs cooking fresh in front of you. There are four pools including one for adults only and one with a slide and climbing frame for kids. The hotel sits on the side of a cove so there are stunning views and a small beach with shallow water for kids or snorkelling. You are a five minute drive from Magaluf but a world away from the tawdry tourist trap. It is also only 15 minutes to Palma which is a great afternoon out. I can not recommend enough and would love to go back!
