Behind a flowery façade, you will find a comfortable, though unattractive, hotel. It is located near the beach and bustle of Can Pastilla.

Located in the sea resort of Can Pastilla, visited by a popular clientele, most of the times coming from Northern Europe, 5 miles away from Palma and at 2 miles away from the airport, about ten minutes driving by car or by bus to get to the hotel.
Renovated two years ago, the rooms are not luxurious, but they are pretty spacious, clean and comfortable. They have air-conditioning, a safe and a TV. The bathrooms will not disappoint you. Most of the rooms offer a view of the sea. The only inconvenience is: the bad soundproofing.
Located in the oceanfront, in a 4 to 6 levels building, the Alexandra hotel offers a total of 164 rooms. The large grey marble hallway tells you about the image of the establishment: a little cold, but very clean. The large swimming pool is overlooked by the rooms and it offers a solarium and a few ping-pong tables. The sport activities are not the hot spot of this hotel, entirely facing the sea. A laundry and hair style salon are also available for the clients.
With a standard decoration, the dining-room is a little too large to be charming, but is comfortable and air-conditioned. All meals are served buffet style. For meals, a simple cuisine and a pretty large choice even if the variety is not always available. Too bad they don't have a service at the table and a snack during the day.
The hotel is located on the West side of the large Palma bay beach, offering clear water, fine and clean sand. Public place and extremely popular, it is crowded in high season. Here you can rent sunshades and mattresses and enjoy the many bars and restaurants. A little farther along, you will find another beach, smaller but quiet. However, the sand here is not that nice and the beach is not supervised.
The Alexandra is one of the rare hotels of the site that offer direct access to the sea and a patio overlooking the beach.

Close to the airport in the seaside resort village of Can Pastilla, the Nautic Hotel is a modern design hotel in a very peaceful location while still close to the hustle and bustle of Playa de Palma. It offers beautiful views from its rooms, especially from the panoramic terrace on the roof which also has a swimming pool. A beautiful spa completes the package. It is an ideal destination for couples looking for rest and relaxation.
The Las Arenas is built on a beach front and welcomes a clientele mainly represented by families. The evening animations are well conceived.
This hotel has an atmosphere much like a corner street bar with regular customers. It isn't well located or comfortable and is rather antiquated. But it is cheap.
Well maintained, the Calma is a small hotel for young people and regular costumers in the residential neighbourhood of Ca'n Pastilla, a small sea resort right before Playa de Palma. Its entertainment schedule, in the hands of a dynamic team, is pretty complete.
