Overall the hotel was nice. Rooms are a bit dated and could do with some attention. We had a broken floor tile, the bathroom had a constant bad odour from the shower area. We had a family room which was very spacious however, considering the size of room it had 1 available plug socket. For a family this was disappointing as there were 3 of us fighting over 1 socket!! The variety of buffet was good. Bit disappointing that half board didnt include soft drinks for the evening meal, prices were shocking and over inflated...who charges over 5 euros for orange juice?! I didnt find the reception staff very friendly, not sure if it was a language barrier issue but most of them were not welcoming apart from Cristina, she was lovely. Location is great, but getting the number 25 bus into Palma centre was a nightmare. Crammed and overloaded with passengers any time we tried to get in and out. Great to have a spa available to use, steam room and sauna was a bonus. Price wise we got what we paid for, its an adequate 4 star hotel.

Location is unique- really lovely if you reserve a sea view room. Our view was incredible. However, being first line to the seafront, it was rather busy all night long. No problem with closed balcony doors at night, but the AC season starts only in two weeks, so the room was a bit warm for our likening, but the superb view during the day compensated for it.

Nice hotel. Initially, we were given a room were it flowed from ceiling. After a few calls the room was changed but the sediment remained. Outside is noisy. If you get a room with a city view, most probably you will hear everything. The breakfast is perfect and the staff is very friendly everywhere. Overall it was a perfect stay.

From the ladies at the front desk, to Antonio, Sandra, Vivi and the housekeepers everything was fantastic. The pool was well kept and the service top notch. Only regret is the area was too touristy and the German presence was overbearing. Beautiful island. Will be back. Would not recommend Limon yours for anything. The time spent on the bus and the total hours of the trip were well over hours. Not well planned out. Waste of a day.

The hotel itself was quite nice and wonderful view. There were a couple of minor issues in the room, but were tolerable. The problem is that this is in the center of a 'party area' so people would yell and sing until very, very late. The staff and amenities were great though.

Upon check-in they told us we had free dinner but we didn't when we got to the dining room so that was a little bit embarrassing. The shower head kept hitting the ceiling so you had to hold the shower head to shower. I told reception and they said they would send somebody to fix it but nobody came. I told them again the next day and they finally fixed it but it was our last. My girlfriend and I also got questioned by security when we came back to the hotel at night with a friend. It was very uncomfortable. They wanted him to pay 55 Euro to come up to the room even though he had no plans to stay. We faced the side of the street by the Beirkonig and it was so loud I couldn't sleep and despite everything they still charged us 40 euro for late checkout. Overall, I wouldn't stay here again. The blonde at the front desk wasn't overly friendly either

Really enjoyed my stay, the staff were so accommodating however, my sister called specially from London to arrange some surprise drinks for me and my husband’s wedding anniversary which never took place. My sister enquired about this a day after and the hotel assured her they gave us our complimentary drinks with a special message but this never happened and we never received anything.

Very German Area
Nice clean and modern hotel, with spa facilities. Connected to 2 lovely restaurants and on the beach front. Gym equipment was a little dated and the food towards the end of breakfast was cold/stale. No effort was made to replenish within the last 30mins of breakfast.

Great hotel, great staff
Lovely ! A little far from Palma (20minute taxi drive) and in the middle of the party district, but it's the perfect middle point between all the different beaches and the city (Es Trenc 40mins by taxi, Cala Blava 10-15mins). The staff is fantastic, the rooms with the balconies are perfectly clean and comfortable, the adult pool is calm and beautiful, and their restaurant "Little Italy" is amazing. Their desserts are especially worth trying, and you've got a ton of Spars and other grocery stores a stone's throw away.

Not impressed, I will not return.
I did not enjoy my stay at Playa Golf. The staff were incredibly unfriendly and rude, the rooms were not clean and by no means reflective of a 4 star rating. The gym was dirty and had such limited equipment. The only redeeming quality was the breakfasts. I would not stay here again or recommend it to someone else.

Ideal for German People
It is a very German peoples hotel. The TV is mostly in German Language and when people greet you the first language is German. This was difficult because of our lack of German Speaking but the people were lovely and friendly. We had a double room (2 single beds) and we found the beds to be uncomfortable. The Air-Con also didn’t work so we slept with the terrace door open all night. However, the Hotel is Beautiful. The staff are very friendly and nice, the pools and the amenities are amazing and it’s right across from the beach. The breakfast and Dinner options are incredible. I’ve never been to a hotel before with such options.

Great hotel. The only disapointment was early closure of breakfast buffet at 10:15 am and how quickly waiters removed all the food. It looked like the lesser food the guests had, the more would be left over for waiters to eat and take home. Ridiculous!

A great hotel in the middle of party central
Hotel Playa Golf is a very nice hotel! The staff is excellent, and the service, especially the breakfast, is very good. It is at the crossroads of the "party district". Everybody should have a good time on vacation, but when one person, or group's "good time" makes it difficult to sleep at 4AM, it becomes a problem. The drunken revelry seemed to go on 24 hours a day. It is not the fault of the hotel, or even the guests that were there when I was, it is the location...

Clean hotel but never 4 star.
Check in okay but never given directions to room but once in was disappointed,clean but very basic,outlook from balcony was onto the back of the next building,could see the sea if I lent over the railing, the double bed was two singles and bove were seriously uncomfortable and the pillows terrible,never had a good nights sleep,the rooms are advertised as soundproof in which they are not,whenever i was in the room I could hear my neighbours and doors slamming 24/7,TV is mostly German stations and not worth having in the room,the hotel needs to invest in a more open satellite channels as when the weather was bad there is nothing to do in the hotel apart from the spa which is nice but very small so would be nice to have some TV entertainment,to get to the beach you have a choice of which restaurant you want to walk through which is a bit strange and you have to walk through the hotel bar to get to the swimming pools and spa,to eat in the hotel restaurant in the evening I was told I could not wear shorts so was not allowed in wearing tailored shorts and a polo shirt but other guests were eating in jeans and tee shirts,again very strange, overall very disappointing.

Great Value For Money
When searching through Expedia, this hotel was amongst the cheapest options and I must say it is a great value for money. The half board service is very good offering buffet breakfast and dinner. We also opted for a double room with balcony and sea view which was quite worth it. The staff was friendly and catered to all of our needs. Fortunately the hotel was connected to two reasonably priced restaurants and on a strip of beach near many other restaurants and stores.

Good location, nice place by the beach
The hotel is located in nice location near by the beach. The room with the sea view is really cool. Airport is 15 mins away by bus (No 21) €5 each. Bus No 15 & 25 to Palma city centre €1.50 each. 20 to 45 mins depend on the bus. 25 is express and more quicker. Also near by the restaurant and some supermarkets. Breakfast are so good and absolutely high quality.

Very disappointed.
Sadly no where did you say this hotel is located in the heart of party land for the Germans, the reason we did not go to magaluf was to avoid the party scene with the English and Playa de golf hotel is just across the road from a 22 hour a day German drinking ( what can only be described as a tin warehouse ). Nationality does not bother me, but we booked with a child and you should put a message up regarding this, Even the receptionists agree its not a family 4 star. 3 family's moved whilst we were there. Very disappointed.

Too many rude Germans
The hotel was lovely but some of the staff were quite rude. They expect you all to speak German and the hotel was full of obnoxiously rude German couples/families. There was hardly any English people in the hotel or surrounding area. I wouldn't recommend this hotel to stay for English families in August. The hotel was lovely though. Really clean and the food at the restaurant outside was amazing.

Absolutely Happy!
The hotel is beautiful with great access to restaurants, bars, the beach and transportation. The staff especially the front desk agent Nicole were amazing. Nicole, specifically, went over and beyond to ensure I had a great honeymoon and provided us with a lot of information on activities/tours to do in Mallorca. I would highly recommend this hotel. Highlights: Nicole from the front desk- extremely professional, knowledgeable and spoke great English which was a plus. Rooms- very nice and the ocean view rooms have amazing views! Food- we had breakfast included with our package and it was by far the best spread we've experienced from fresh fruit, baked croissants, omelette bar, champagne and a beautiful honeycomb every morning.

Not too comfortable for the price you pay.
The hotel has a lot of facilities, it is close to the beach, to vary types of restaurants and bars. However the location of the hotel in the summer time is inside of the parties, which means the noise will be almost 24h. Although the hotel has an adult pool with a sign, they allow children with parents. They do not offer double bed, they allocate 2 twin beds together, unfortunately I could not sleep well. I was very upset when I found out that I needed to pay £2 daily to use the safe box in the room. I have paid the upgrade direct to the hotel in order to get a better view, which helped a lot. However the room had the toilet and shower room inside of the room, only a glass door to separate both areas, which makes the room hot and the smell can be spreaded. I was very happy that the receptionist provided us a room to take a quick shower after our check out. I was very grateful.

We were in Mallorca for just one night and just about 24 hours, so not much time was spent in the hotel but the time that is was was lovely. Our room was quite small but had a great view and breakfast was good. The location is great with respect to the beach and the staff was great.

Lovely hotel, fantastic location overlooking the beach and within easy reach of Palma and the airport. Staff very helpful and friendly. Two outdoor pools looked lovely but unfortunately not heated & too cold to try. Only disappointment was the indoor pool, bit small and in need of updating and wifi a bit intermittent. Breakfast was great selection. I would definitely visit again.

Lovely hotel, but...
Lovely hotel, although the food is catered to the numerous German guests rather than the taste of Spain that we were after. In terms of nightlife this area was surprisingly dead. The room was nice enough although we were given two singles rather than the double as requested. I'd definitely recommend this hotel, although the neighbouring construction works were somewhat annoying and should probably have been noted prior to booking.
