"Just got back from the most incredible week at Iberostar Waves Cristina and I'm already looking at dates to return! This place exceeded every expectation.
Location is unbeatable - literally 2 minutes walk to Playa de Palma beach. We'd have breakfast, grab our towels, and be on the gorgeous sandy beach before the kids could even ask "are we there yet?" The beach is stunning with crystal clear water and plenty of space for everyone.
The food was phenomenal! The breakfast buffet at Es Molins restaurant was absolutely massive - fresh pastries, made-to-order eggs, local cheeses, fruits, cereals, and so much more. But the dinner buffet is where they really shine. Every night there was incredible variety - fresh seafood, perfectly cooked meats, paella, pasta stations, salads, and the desserts were to die for. The quality was restaurant-level, not typical hotel buffet. We ate there every single night and never got bored.
For families with kids, this place is heaven! The kids' club had daily activities that kept our children entertained for hours - arts and crafts, games, mini disco in the evening. They made friends immediately and didn't want to leave! There's a separate kids' pool plus a fantastic main outdoor pool surrounded by sun loungers. The indoor heated pool was perfect for cooler evenings.
The hotel also has tennis courts, paddle tennis, a football pitch, and bikes you can rent to explore the beautiful promenade. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful - special shout"
"I had a wonderful stay at Aubamar Suites & Spa. The staff were incredibly hospitable, friendly, and always willing to accommodate any request. The restaurant was excellent I especially loved the breakfast selection. A special mention to Lucia at the restaurant, who was fantastic, though truly everyone working there was pleasant and welcoming.
The spa was another highlight, and I really appreciated that it’s included. I also visited the rooftop at the sister hotel, which is absolutely gorgeous.
The location is great: very close to the airport less than 30 minutes by bus and it only cost me €8 return, with the bus stop just 5 minutes from the hotel. Getting to Palma Old Town was also easy and quick: less than 30 minutes by bus for €2, with the stop again very close by. A taxi to the Old Town was around €18. Plus, the beach is just a short walk away.
Overall, a beautiful hotel with exceptional service and an ideal location."
Grupotel Cala Marsal Nature Hotel - New Reopening 2025
10/10 Excellent
"The entire hotel was very clean, including the spa/sauna, restaurant and outdoor area. Shower pressure & temperature no problems, comfy bed, and a nice balcony.
I selected half board option and I'm glad I did! Both breakfast and dinner buffet were plentiful and fresh, different types of food to chose from, and every day there was something different for the main for dinner. I was so full after breakfast so I didn't really need to have lunch during my stay.
There were also some nice cafes and restaurants close to the hotel, and the beach was just a stone's throw away. The beach parasol, sunbed and security box were so affordable to rent for the whole day (about £16 pp), unlike other Mediterranean beach resort.
Reception, restaurant waiting staff, housekeeping staff were all friendly and kind. I'd definitely come back to this hotel again for a relaxing solo holiday :)
(*One request I have for the hotel would be to have a kettle in a room, or rent a kettle at the front desk!)"
