Description
Bahia Principe Escape Coral Playa - Adults Only is a 4-star hotel built in 1968 and renovated in 2017, located on the first line of Magaluf's coastline with direct access to the public sandy beach Son Maties just 50 meters away. The hotel consists of a single 13-floor building with 184 rooms, 172 of which offer direct sea views from balconies. It provides a quiet setting on a hilltop with panoramic sea vistas, complemented by one outdoor pool with free loungers and umbrellas. The hotel includes an international buffet restaurant, a lobby bar, and a pool snack bar. Facilities include conference rooms, car rental, laundry services, and a small spa center with sauna and treatments. Although the hotel is adults-only, it offers some children’s facilities like a kids’ playroom and children’s disco.

Location
Bahia Principe Escape Coral Playa is situated in Magaluf, on Carrer Torrenova, 41, just 20 meters from Magalluf Beach. The hotel is 16 km from PMI (Son Sant Joan Airport) and 14 km from Palma city center. A bus stop lies 300 meters away, offering convenient transport options. Nearby restaurants include McDoner's at 130 meters and El Salmon at 334 meters, both well-rated. The hotel’s position on the first line offers quick beach access via stairs, though the location is on a hill, which may require some climbing on foot.

Reviews
When I arrived, I briefly parked in front of the hotel to check in and get access to the parking, but an employee came out and rudely told me to move because I was blocking the staff parking area. Unfortunately, there’s no designated unloading zone, and the night staff were not very welcoming. The morning staff, however, were much more courteous and friendly.
The walls are also paper thin, we could hear every word our neighbours were saying.
First, the smell. The corridors reek of old furniture and mustiness. It’s everywhere. Step into the reception and you’re hit with a wall of hot, stagnant air because there’s no air conditioning — in 40°C summer heat. No decent hotel would run a reception without AC in these conditions.
The parking situation is a complete joke. There are only SEVEN spaces for the entire hotel. We arrived late at night, spent an hour circling the area looking for a spot, found nothing nearby, and had to park far away. Because the hotel is perched on a steep hill and my mother has back problems, we had to pay for a taxi back.
The breakfast? Possibly the worst I’ve ever seen. Food looked like it had been sitting out for days, tasted like nothing, and the coffee was so bad it was almost undrinkable.
Towels? Changed only every three days. That meant using the same sandy, damp beach towels for almost our entire stay.
The staff? Cold, unfriendly, and unwelcoming. There’s already a comment on Google about the bald receptionist being rude — I now understand exactly what they meant. When I greeted him and asked how he was when we arrived to check in, he didn’t even bother to ask back.
This is NOT a 4-star hotel. Whoever awarded them that rating clearly has no idea what a 4-star standard is.
That’s it for now — I’ll be following up with photos tomorrow.
