Just returned from this hotel. For what you pay for it is OK value for money. The entertainment staff work hard and are friendly. If want a drink or biscuit from the bar don't expect all the staff to crack a smile as some are a little rude and you wonder why they are in that job. The 3 drinks rule with lunch and dinner is an issue and I feel one that needs to be worked on not everyone likes wine or beer and of you don't drink 3 drinks with you meal don't expect to get one of these outside as its not on offer. I go to All inclusive holidays expecting to order local spirits of my choice even the odd cocktail or two, you can have any of these if you pay for them. To me that doesn't cover my idea of all inclusive, you could just do what everyone else seems to do and by them cheap at the local spar, no one seems to monitor of be bothered if you brought in your own alcoholic drinks. I booked this hotel as a all inclusive holiday but feel the service resembles full board. You can have unlimited soft drinks in very small plastic cups. Plus side hotel room was clean and towels changed and beds made daily. Enterment in the evening is questionable, depending on your taste. Food I found to be good be quite a lot of the same sort of thing. Like I said for what we payed it was good value. Not to busy, always sunbeds. Close to the beach.

The only good thing I can say about the hotel was the animation team (kids entertainment). They were absolutely amazing!!! Johan and his team were great with the kids and were a highlight of our holiday. Our kids wanted to go to all their kids clubs and the evening events they did.

The rest of the hotel was a massive let down! The food choice in the restaurant was absolutely rubbish, hardly any choice and constant people just pushing in.

Supposed to be All Inclusive but alcohol isn’t included so you have to buy all your alcoholic drinks! Oh you do get a couple free beers or wines with lunch or tea! Neither of us drink beer or wine 🙈.
Half the staff were miserable, first hotel I’ve stayed at where they wouldn’t let you have your own mugs filled up with Pepsi/juice etc.

The hotel is full of young german lads and girls, the lads are constantly pissed, loud and annoying. Our room had groups of them around us who were screaming, singing, banging and partying till about 4-5am every night.

Twice we had altercations with people trying to take our sun beds

Would never stay here again! Like I said before the animation team made our stay enjoyable and we enjoyed their shows at night. They brightened up a horrible experience of this hotel.

The biggest clue it wasn’t gonna be a nice hotel was the fact that there is a police vehicle outside the hotel and police are frequently seen walking around the hotel.

It’s such a shame the hotel has been neglected, can see when it was first built it would’ve been really nice. The hotel doesn’t look like it’s had any maintenance done for years, why aren’t you doing yearly painting, repairs etc?

We recently stayed at MLL Palma Bay and had a mixed experience. From the pictures, we expected a resort with a few pools, but it’s actually a bigger complex made up of several buildings. We were placed in the Havana building, which unfortunately had the smallest pool, no drink or snack bar but the most available sun loungers.

If you want to use other pools, you have to go to the different buildings, which is tricky because the key card rarely works at those entrances. Most of the time, we had to rely on someone else letting us in – quite inconvenient. As expected in resorts like this, loungers are often reserved early with towels.

There are several bars on site, but at least one bar per day didn’t have proper drinks available due to machine issues. On top of that, you’re required to pay a deposit (in cash) for a reusable cup, which they do not mention at check-in. So if you turn up without cash, you’ll have to trek back to your room – frustrating, especially in the heat.

The food was okay – nothing memorable, and the variety was quite limited. Alcohol is restricted to lunch and dinner in the restaurant only, which is understandable under local laws, but it does mean you cannot enjoy a cold drink while relaxing by the pool unless you’re willing to pay extra, making the ‘all-inclusive’ feel a bit pointless.

Room cleanliness was hit and miss. We found a black hair in the bathroom, a stain on the pillow, and the hand soap dispenser didn’t work.

Overall, it’s very much a 3-star hotel – and it shows. It’s quite noisy as there’s so many people. If you’re looking for a basic place to stay and do not mind a few inconveniences, it may be fine. Just manage your expectations.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel. The breakfast buffet was really good, lots of different options. I opted in for a dinner buffet too and that didn’t disappoint. I also got to do karoke on evening which was absolutely amazing. Lots of friendly staff at hand. Pools were nice but got quite busy so you have to find a good time to go depending on how crowded you like it

Badly explained that the safe is payable at 4 euros/day, and that the 3 drinks included in the meal are removed. The restaurant is very good, very Mediterranean menus which allow you to eat very healthily if you want. With the heat waves, put a small refrigerator in the room, open the swimming pools an hour earlier and close an hour later, even if it means removing two or three hours in the day to enjoy the coolness

Really nice hotel. Staff are excellent. Breakfast is lovely with plenty of selection.
Beds are comfy. And got a good nights sleep.
Location is at the top of a small hill. Also this is a complex, so there are several different hotel blocks. You may have a small walk to your block/room.
However, this is well explained by reception staff and you are given a small map of the complex and easy directions to get to your room.
Room rate does seem to fluctuate, so just check. But we found it very good value for money.

After reading the recent reviews we were a little worried about our trip here due to them being so bad … most are due to all inclusive rules.

The reviews on here I feel are very harsh, we had a fantastic stay. Just do your research on the all inclusive rules and then you won’t have a surprise when you get there.

Spotlessly clean, friendly staff, plenty of pool areas and sun loungers.

Rooms are small and dated but that didn’t bother us at all, beds were very comfy. Walls are thin so you can hear doors when they open and close.

Food there was plenty of choice, dining area was very quickly cleaned and tables re played for next use.

Alcohol served with lunch and dinner, and recorded against your room number which was fine as after you had eaten we wasn’t too bothered about a drink.

Pool bars great selection of soft drinks, served promptly. Pay €1 for cup which gets returned and you get your €1 back. Alcoholic drinks are very reasonably priced much cheaper than drinking in town. €2 for the glass but again you get that back when you return it.

Beach is 10 minute walk at max. Stunning beach too.

All in all had a great holiday and would happily return again.

The room was clean, a musty scent when I first arrived, but that was all. The pools were nice and the staff were attentive and friendly. Meals were virtually the same every day, with an array of choices. The area itself was delightful, and even at the end of the season, the weather was lovely. All in all, a lovely time had.

** Make sure to read this before booking there **

Where do I start? Stayed 7 nights for business. Food is incredibly terrible so don't bother with the "all inclusive". It's a scam!

Depending on which building they put you in, the air conditioning does not work. They gave me a portable fan for my stay. Yes, you read it right. A fan in a hotel room!

The Spanish staff are great. The Swiss staff which are mostly the managers are super rude.

The location and the prices are great if you don't mind all the above. Personally I will never ever return there nor would I recommend it to anyone.

Right now eDreams is looking into this and most likely I'll get some kind of reinbursement.

Hotel rooms are nice but require up grading. The room was clean
I understand the island has rules regarding alcohol,at hotel you can only have alcohol drinks during meals and only so many per person per day ,I get this, but you can't take your drink outside!! But you can go to bar outside and pay, where has the all inclusive gone ? Fumming
