Location
7.2/10
Located on Playa de Palma, a seaside resort in the south of the island, well-known for its evening entertainments, hundreds of bars, restaurants, discos and its huge beach more than 2 miles long, the hotel is located only 4 miles away from the airport and 6 miles away from Palma.
Accommodation
7.20/10
The standard rooms of the main building are spacious, but a little old when it comes to decoration. They all are new, however. The rooms offer TV, a safe with an extra fee, a refrigerator and a balcony with armchairs and a plastic table. The bathroom is very clean and it has a bathtub. Since this is a new building, the apartments are pretty fancy with a kitchen corner and a balcony from where you can get a glimpse of the sea.
Overview
6.95/10
Built in the 1970s, the Pampalona is a Framissima hotel that offers a total of 155 rooms for a total accommodation capacity of 350 people. The outside façade is very massive and unattractive, built on 7 levels serviced by 2 elevators, but it does however offer a nice inside space. The hallway is imposing and is all made of marble. The living rooms, comfortable and elegant, offer a room for playing cards and a TV room. Facing the main building of the hotel, a new unit offers familial rooms, studios and suites in a brand new construction with an inside swimming pool, a sport area as well as a garage for bikes. The outside pool, circled-shaped, built on a large area, doesn't leave much empty space. The animations will keep both the children and the adults busy all day long. Unfortunately, the lack of space does not allow the installation of lots of equipments. Children have a whole small house designated for them and their activities. And for their enjoyment, they will have a birdcage and a small house with a duck family.
Food and drink
7.70/10
The meals are served as buffets (copious and tasty) in the large, bright cool dining room. A nice frame to enjoy the buffets served at all the three meals. Breakfast with hot and cold dishes served on a continental or Anglo-Saxon plate. For lunch you can have mixed salads, grillings, pastas and Mediteranean specialities. Thematic dinner is offered if you want to try a different cuisine every evening as well as gambas and rock lobster with an extra fee. The food is very diversified and everybody raves about the quality and variety of the dishes offered.
Beach
7.45/10
Located 100 m away, the large beach of Palma bay offers clear water, fine and clean sand. As a public and popular place bordered by hotels, it is very crowded during high season and can be a little windswept in the afternoons. The hotel does not offer any specific equipment but, not far from here, you will find private companies offering sunshades, beach chairs and matresses as well as nautical activities. Here you will also find bars, restaurants, small shops, a promenade and a small train that goes along it back and forth all day.
To know
Six to seven French speaking animators take care of the children and the teenagers and offer a large number of nocturnal activities for adults: shows every evening (outdoors artists two times a week), games, night clubs... A nice mini-club is open for kids aged 4 to 9 and a junior club, for children aged 10 to 14. Children are reserved a corner of the restaurant and they can eat with the animators at 7:30 pm before going to the mini-disco at 8 pm. There are also offered thematic weeks ( creative leisure, dancing, gourmet catering). Every winter, the hotel offers training with cycling professionals and has fitted out a garage where you can find all the necessary equipment for the maintenance of the bikes.
Accomodation advice:
the hotel is surrounded by other hotels, and if you want to enjoy a nice view, you should better stay close to the swimming pool.

La partie résidence très agréable: la nourriture, proximité des transports en commun, piste cyclable superbe. Je crains juste que cet hôtel qui vient d'être racheté par la chaîne BG perde en simplicité, des travaux de rénovation sont prévus pour l'an prochain, l'hôtel passerait de 3 à 4 étoiles, il ne sera donc plus dans la même gamme de prix... A voir.
Advantages
La nourriture, le confort de la partie résidence; la propreté et la gentillesse du personnel; la proximité de Palma et des bus.
Disavantages
Les groupes d'allemands qui ne viennent que pour boire; les animations FRAM le soir, très bas de gamme, voir complètement dépassées.

Package deals in août 2013Posted on 2014-02-11En famille - Une semaine et plus (Chambre sans vue)
Hotel propre, juste à côté de la plage et ses commerces.
Animation française sympathique mais vraiment de style club(pas très raffinée) Si on veut s'amuser tard, l'animation se termine à une heure du matin.Ce n'est pas une grande structure. Il y a quand-même une piscine,un club enfants et une table de ping-pong. Le peu de prestations organisées en dehors de l'hôtel est chèr avec beaucoup de temps de temps de transport et assez inintéressant. Néanmoins, je ne regrette pas d'y avoir séjourné.
Advantages
A trois minutes de la plage et de ses commerces.Equipe sympathique et francophone
Nourriture buffet assez variée
Disavantages
Animation à regarder tous les soirs mais on ne participe pas, du coup: on s'ennuit.
Le repas est en sous sol, quel dommage de ne pas profiter du plein air

A typical example of big hotel with massive architecture, the Java offers all the modern comforts a few steps away from the sea. There are day activities and evening shows.
Located 200 m away from the beach, at the entrance of the largest and the most lively sea resort of Mallorca, the hotel Caballero is an unattractive establishment, but it does offer a certain level of comfort and some entertainment.
The Gran Fiesta, located on the seafront, is one of the biggest hotels of Arenal. This high building on 9 levels is comfortable and somehow unattractive.
Built in the 70s, this hotel is composed of two hotels of the same class. The swimming pool area is pleasant but it doesn't offer sport facilities and needs a serious renovation.
The Royal Cupido is a hotel located at the foot of the long beach of Playa de Palm, a perfect destination for a family vacation, despite its charmless architecture.
Simple but convenient, the Helios Hotel is well suited for tourists who want to enjoy the vicinity of Palma's beach, only 50m from the palm tree-lined promenade. Close to the Palma Aquarium and airport, this friendly hotel includes a lovely garden full of flowers and a mini-golf course.
The Oleander hotel is a family establishment located some 200 metres from the big Playa de Palma beach, and is a favourite among German tourists (constituting about 95% of the establishment's guests). It is friendly-sized, has little in the way of facilities and offers no entertainment, but it is surrounded by restaurants, night clubs and all sorts of boutiques.

Grupotel Playa de Palma

Fans of relaxation and sports lovers will definitely enjoy staying at the Grupotel Playa de Palma. This 4 star hotel limited to 4 stories is very handy and functional. The atmosphere is very peaceful and everything is tastefully decorated. The only disappointing aspect is the uncultivated land opposite the entrance that lacks sophistication.

Thanks to its 4 stars and ideal location on the seafront facing Palma Beach, the Grupotel Acapulco Playa is ideal for couples and senior citizens. In peaceful surroundings, the atmosphere is pleasant despite the very few services and amenities. However, tennis players and spa lovers will be able to use the facilities of the chain's other hotels for a reasonable price: the Taurus and the Playa de Palma hotels aren't very far.

It might be because of the Brasilian name or just a simple accident, but Manaus is definitley one of the rare hotels of Arenal that have charm. Even if it is small and offers few services.
