Senses Palmanova

Great hotel in a great location, rooms were lovely and really clean and the breakfast had a huge choice, plenty of sunbeds to go around i would recommend a room with a full sea view and if you like your privacy then maybe the swim up rooms are not the best choice as always people walking by would defiantly recommend and return

Just returned from an enjoyable week at this hotel. Greeted with a free glass of bubbly on arrival which we thought was a nice touch. As “My Senses” members, we booked a Comfort room hoping for a free room upgrade as advertised (obviously the small print says where available!), but on check in we were advised that no upgrade was available, so that was a bit disappointing. Our room was on 6th floor at the back overlooking a road and the annexe building which wasn’t a problem as it was fairly quiet. Room small but perfectly serviceable with a small balcony, clean and very white! Large 6ft bed which was very comfortable, flat screen TV with ITV and BBC channels, tea/coffee making facilities, fridge, air conditioning and safe. Excellent shower and free toiletries if you needed them. My only gripe would be the wardrobe set up in this room - there was hanging space with drawers and the fridge underneath, serving as a partition between the bathroom and bedroom, it had no back, so your clothes were effectively hanging in the bathroom, right next to the toilet, which was weird! It meant that when you had a shower, the room would mist up and your clothes would be damp - strange. Anyway, apart from that the room was OK, cleaned every day and fresh towels daily. We were on B&B basis, so can only comment on breakfast - good selection of hot and cold food with a chef on hand to cook omelettes and eggs to order. Dining room clean, modern and bright with an outside area overlooking pool area and beach/promenade. Staff friendly and hard working. There was a main pool area with 3 pools, plenty of sun beds, Balinese beds and a terrace overlooking the promenade/beach. Some of the sun beds are on shallow shelves within the pools which were nice to go on to dry out after a dip. Really liked the pool area and as it is an adult-only hotel it was quiet and relaxing, with a nice restaurant and bar overlooking the seafront (reasonable prices as well). We never had a problem getting a sun bed. There was another pool in the annexe building behind the main hotel and on 5th floor there is a privilege terrace with another pool and bar, but we were not able to access that as we weren’t in the Privilege rooms which were more expensive. There is also an indoor pool and spa but we didn’t use it. The hotel is geared up for those with mobility issues with lifts to all floors and ramped walkways. It is situated in the heart of Palmanova which was great for us as we were eating out each night and there were plenty of bars and restaurants on the doorstep. It’s in a slightly elevated position separated from the stunning Palmanova beach by a fairly busy road, but I wouldn’t say it’s noisy (might be in the July/August I guess when the resort is at its busiest). There is entertainment in the evening but I can’t really comment on that as it’s over by 10pm, so we didn’t really see it. All in all the hotel definitely warrants its 4 Star status. We have stayed in many 4 star hotels in Majorca and this has been one of the better ones. A little expensive I thought (€1100 for 7nights B&B, Hotel only) which is the most we have ever paid in Majorca at this time of year, but I noticed all the hotels seemed more expensive this year and it is Adult-Only which seems to carry a premium. Would definitely return and recommend.
