Hotel Platja d'Or

Our first all inclusive holiday in years The hotel was great and the staff were all very polite and friendly, we asked for a top floor room but on arrival we got a 2nd floor room which we didnt really like as it was very dark ,dated, we went down to reception and the manager? said cant change we are fully booked. I tried again when the evening staff came on,what a difference, the lady listened to me asked what we didn't like and then advised we could be moved in the morning when guests would check out. How one person can change your perception. Next day we got a room on the 4th floor, very quiet as we asked for facing the sea.The room was much brighter Next the restaurant, we are foodies and we found the food very exceptable for a 3star, we had seen critical reviews,I think people should look at what they are booking ,maybe the people moaning should up their budget. Breakfasts were fab as were the lunches/dinners, plenty of choice ,although not gourmet totally exceptable for what you pay, the Rose wine was very palatable ,The red was not my cup of tea. The bar staff were lovely and dont know how they kept up the smiles as they were constantly busy, and always charming. Kudos to them for their hard work. The pool area was also lovely , the only suggestion I would have is to cut back some of the trees as they created a lot of shade, probably perfect in July/Aug but for late Sept we wanted more sun. The beach is also lovely and a nice stroll into the town of about 35 /40 minutes

This was our first time to this part of the Island. Although not as pretty as the Cala D’Or or Porto Christo side of the Island, we still thought it to be very pleasant. We normally only book 4 or 5 star hotels but thought we would give this hotel a go based on a good deal and the reviews. Well I have to say that the Plat’ja D’Or hotel did not disappoint. Although not literally on the beach as we are used to, the beach was just a 30 second stroll away across a very quiet road and through a pleasant little wooded garden area. The beach itself is simply glorious. The sand is golden, the water crystal clear. This hotel has a great location as it is in the quieter bit of Alcudia- things get busier just either side of it due to more family oriented hotels. Buses are frequent and cheap taking you to the lovely Port D’Alcudia, the gorgeous Old Town or the stunning Puerta Pollensa. In the other direction you can visit C’an Picafort. Buses will also take you to Palma if you fancy a longer jaunt on a cloudier day. If you fancy a more energetic stroll you can walk into Port D’Alcudia along the gorgeous beach. Takes about 40mins. We did that a couple of times. Just lovely. The hotel itself was superb. No gym or fancy gimmicks like that but simply a well run clean and pleasant little place to stay. We had a sea view room which was simply delightful and a real treat. The food was of an excellent standard as they appear to cater for the English palette and I felt that it was suitably varied. I do not eat meat and still found plenty of delicious things to choose from. The staff work tirelessly and are all very pleasant and helpful. The cleanliness, food choice etc is on par with a 4 star rating I would say. Overall we really enjoyed our stay here and would highly recommend this hotel.

Had a very relaxing week at this hotel which was recommended by a friend who returns most years to this place. The outside of the hotel could do with a little lick of paint but the inside I think has been undergoing a lot of modernisation. and is certainly bright and colourful. The entrance foyer and reception area has lovely yellow seating with tables bordering the busy bar which has a double door to a covered external seated area and on to a covered building which houses the entertainment most nights, varying with bingo and guest artists. The dining area is huge and the food is hot and varied to suit meat eaters and vegetarians alike and what a lovely selection available daily, breakfasts , lunches and dinners all superb. The rooms are so modern, walk in showers in the en suite, the best lighting in a bedroom for a long time, cleverly designed and usual flat screen tv and your own balcony. The staff from the bar, dining,( all inclusive veno and beer etc), reception , room cleaners, chefs and not forgetting the Tui staff, all are so hard working and helpful and make this hotel well worth the visit. For those who enjoy the beach there is a private one with a great view of the area through a small tree clad approach from the front of the hotel. So it ticks all of the boxes for us.
