Melia in Badia Blava from AU$381

"Excellent beachfront location with breathtaking sunrises (see photos uploaded). The room had superb noise insulation and stunning sea views. The pool areas were impeccably maintained, with one pool dedicated to adults only. Even the main pool was peaceful, never rowdy. The beach is rocky but the waters are crystal clear, with plenty of ladders for access — one extra wide ladder is particularly helpful for those with mobility issues or young children. The beachfront restaurant was wonderful, with a great atmosphere and views. Breakfast offered a wide choice, again enjoyed with stunning vistas of boats coming and going. The resort is about 20 minutes from Palma centre; taxis were easily arranged through the hotel and fairly priced. Check-out is strictly at noon, but the courtesy room provided for late flights was a huge bonus, allowing us to shower before heading to the airport. Room furniture is functional rather than luxurious, but the location and facilities more than compensate. The hotel has a great vibe, suitable for families, couples, elderly guests, and solo travellers. Strongly recommend booking a high-level sea-view room for the full experience. The team were also very helpful in arranging excursions, even securing a last-minute sunset catamaran cruise — truly excellent service. Check-in and check-out were smooth and efficient. Overall, this resort offers excellent value, amazing views, and a relaxing yet vibrant atmosphere. We will definitely return."

"Overall great stay. The staff was nice and the location was great for beach access."

"The staff are unreal here. The service for drinks and food was exceptional. Tips- the balconies are really low. If you have a fear of heights or don't like being high it's definitely better to get a lower floor. Great hotel and would recommend. "

"It’s so nice and clean and I also like the location"

"Great location, recently refurbished "

"Fabulous staff and customer service"

"Spent 10 night at the property with my wife and 2 kids. Very comfortable stay, great facilities, friendly staff and most of all delicious food by the restaurant chefs. "

"Absolutely loved this hotel. We love a rooftop bar and this hotel had the bar, the views and the amazing food and drinks. It was so central and so easy to walk into town or to the marina. When I booked it, I didn’t realise there were 3 pools to choose from so if the rooftop beds are full (which happened mid morning) then you could just choose another pool. "

"Loved everything about it, the only downside is not being able to check in earlier."
