Palace Bonanza Playa Resort & SPA by Olivia Hotels Collection
10/10 Excellent
"This is a well-located hotel with great facilities - and certainly good value compared with nearby hotels. Highlights include the well-kept pool area with plenty of loungers / fabulous sea views and the delicious food offering, even if breakfast has a bit of busy canteen feel. It’s only a short walk to Illetas beach, a range of restaurants/ bars and a very convenient location for a trip to Palma too as buses stop right outside the hotel.
This was a second visit and the rooms were discernibly more tired (we moved rooms after the first couple of nights as our first room had quite a few issues) but then it’s a busy hotel and perhaps it’s due for some maintenance once the season finishes. The bedding certainly requires refreshment… the management does need to have a proper look at this…!
Reception staff seemed generally a bit dis-interested, on check-in we stood for a full minute or so before any of the four staff even looked at us which was awkward as there were no other guests around. Check-out was similarly lack lustre. But that’s the end of season vibe I suppose. However Julian on baggage and Chantal in the restaurant (at breakfast, lunch and dinner!) worked so hard and retained a cheerfulness perhaps lacking in other staff.
However nothing detracted from an overall positive stay, we’d love to return sometime. Thank you. "
