Great hotel for families

Had a wonderful 5 night stay at this hotel. Excellent customer service from all the staff. The front desk staff were always happy to help. Welcome drinks and chocolate were a nice touch upon arrival. There were plenty of food choices to cater for all and quality was very good. Dinner theme was different each night. The room was clean and bright. Air conditioning worked well. Only gripe was the sofa bed was on the soft side to sleep on and the walls are thin, could hear noise from neighbouring rooms. WiFi connection was straightforward and signal is strong enough around the hotel. The app is very useful, contained all the information about the hotel and provides instant breakdown of what you have spent and the invoice. You also get a message on your phone informing you the room is cleaned. Great location, 2 mins from the beach, 15 mins from the airport by taxi, and buses run every 10 mins into Palma Old Town which takes around 25mins. Fun activities and great entertainment were put on by the wonderful animation team. Tennis and Padel courts next to hotel were easy to book. Overall a great experience and would happily stay here again.

Very great stay!

Brilliant stay! Everything's just so good here. If I were to be perfectionist, I would only hope that the aricon can be a tiny bit more controllable - it could be either slightly too cold / too warm. Other than that I really enjoy my stay with my mate so much!

First time at an Iberostar and the Waves Cristina team really do you look after you. I was also quite surprised with the level of activities/entertainment on offer. A clean hotel and the staff really are the people that make this hotel - every single person we encountered just wanted to look after us and were always cheery and happy. A credit to the Iberostar chain! (A special shout out also to the kids club team!)
