Hotels Near Ses Barreres in Llevant

Decided to try Mallorca for a 10 day break so opted for this hotel, the only reservation I had was the only room type on offer from Jet2 was an Economy Double Room, I should not have worried. The room was clean, faily spacious and had a good view of Cala Millor Beach and the sea ( see photo attached ). Throughout the hotel everything was spotless and the staff walked round with a friendly smile on thier faces. Food was good but at busy times the restaurant could be bit of an obstacle course as service was Buffet only. Wine was not the best on the All Inclusive Package but there were other options and this could possibly be down to my taste. Entertainment on an evening was good and varied and as it happened we were there during the week long Festival of Tourism (49th year) and this was an added bonus. Overall enjoyed the holiday but just have one comment on the room, there was plenty of wardrobe space but the room itself lacked any drawers for me to keep my medication but just a minor irritant.

A very nice hotel, one of the best we have stopped at. With a lovely pool area and a couple tennis courts. The only problem is the resort of Cala Millor isn't very attractive but if you want nice place to stay onsite then this hotel ticks all the boxes

Pros - ＞ Modern. ＞ Very clean. ＞ Professional & friendly staff. ＞ Lovely size rooms with a good view of the pool/sea. ＞ Water machines all around the hotel where you can fill up your water bottle. I loved this as I always hate the plastic water bottle waste when you're outside the UK. You get a water jug in your room to refill. ＞ Quality of drinks is good - I’ve stayed in some all inclusives where the drinks are awful, this was not the case here! The cocktails were really nice. ＞ On the beach - would recommend the walk to the castle. ＞ Entertainment at night is relaxed with good quality singers. If this is your thing you’ll like it, if you want something more wild, you may be bored. It suited us fine as we wanted a chilled holiday. Cons - ＞ Glasses & crockery often not the cleanest at breakfast, lunch & dinner. ＞ The amount of sun that the sunbeds get is limited - they don’t really get sun until the afternoon. ＞ Food was very nice quality but a little repetitive at lunch & dinner if you’re all inclusive. I wish the pizza/pasta/chips section was removed at dinner for something more interesting, however I get that some people are fussy eaters so might love that there’s always this food available. ＞ You’re given a window of time where you have to go for breakfast, lunch & dinner. This is flexible but a bit restricting at times. ＞ Pillows and towels a bit thin and mattress harder than I would like. ＞ Walls are quite thin so you hear neighbours fairly easily. Suggestion - install soft close doors. Overall, a nice hotel which I would recommend if you want a quiet relaxed holiday, taking into account the above cons, just needs some small improvements to make it perfect.

My wife and I had an opportunity to take a holiday alone and chose Son Penya based on the location, architecture of the property and privacy afforded by the ‘private villas’ which make up about 50% of the 20 rooms at this beautifully presented property. Highs of our stay: -Size, quality of furnishings, privacy and views from our ‘private villa’ (room no. 17) -The immaculate public areas including the gardens -Friendly and professional staff both in the restaurant, reception and around the hotel in general. In particular, a big ‘thank you’ to Roberto, Sonia and Barbara for their attentiveness during our stay and willingness to listen to and help me as I learn to speak Spanish. -Quality and value of food at breakfast and dinner with a good choice on the menu as well as some ‘specials’ each evening. -The spa and pool. A wide range of treatments available and reasonably priced Could be better- -The consistency of the dishes at dinner. I had the same dish twice during our stay and the presentation/flavour was far better the first time I ate it. Overall, a highly relaxing and enjoyable stay in a beautifully rural and unspoilt part of Mallorca. I’d recommend having a car should you wish to explore beyond the immediate area and taking one of the larger ‘private villas’, with their own pools if you are seeking complete privacy. Highly recommended and we will definitely return.

Real wow factor of the room with marina view and a huge balcony. 5 star accommodation and service. You can actually watch the yachts docking in, all day long. Peaceful harbour with no waves but lots of amazing vistas. Sports facilities and pool and lifts and library and restaurant with 24/7 reception. Next door to the most of amenities. Top attractions like Caves of Drach and parks are 2 minutes walk. Small community that is a real gem. Unspoilt Mallorca at it's best. Loved the experience. Must come back. Place is really busy after April, but we loved the tranquility of March.

Have done 2 weeks of Junior Tennis Camp. One without and one while staying at the Academy… Tennis: There really isn’t much training. They just let the kids play, and play, and play… On the last day there is a ceremony where everyone gets a participation trophy. Fun fact: in both weeks we were there, it was always the biggest cheater in the whole team who received the sportsmanship award. One driver of this is that the “coaches” didn’t watch what was happening on the courts. Even on the final competition day… Key “value” taught: “Cheat as much as you can…” Organisation: They have an app that rarely works. Forget the schedule on the app. It constantly changes and you will never know where your kid is or is supposed to be… Yiu get access cards for the Academy that only work 50% of the time. Other: - We had some heavy rain upon which everything broke down for the rest of our stay. No spa, no pool, building materially flooded. Zero compensation. - You will virtually never get towels for the gym (or the pool, IF it’s open). Need to bring your own, but not from your room as that’s not allowed… - Around 2/3 of water stations don’t work - On the last day the kids have a ceremony, BBQ and festives. The parents, aka folks who paid for everything, don’t get anything - they can watch with no food and not even a glass of water. Awesome way to end the experience in a memorable way - You get free access to the Rafael Badal Museum - except you never get access because it’s always booked out Bottom line: Mass factory, highly commercialised, you are just a number.
