Scene
Family resort with relaxed atmosphere
Aparthotel & Hotel Isla de Cabrera is a family-friendly resort with a palm tree-lined entrance, large open spaces, and beautiful gardens. The lobby is bright and airy thanks to a central glass atrium. Decor is kept simple throughout the hotel, limited to scattered potted plants, some dated furniture, beach- and sea-theme artwork, and tan wallpaper with an island motif. Bougainvillea-print wallpaper over the front desk adds a charming touch. The breakfast and dining areas look the most contemporary with streamlined furniture, a bold blue accent wall, and bright-orange bar. Two poolside bars are more casual. The overall atmosphere is relaxed and friendly, with well-kept interiors and a particularly attentive staff. Due to the numerous features and activities suited to kids, the resort attracts mostly young families from Europe.
Location
Located in the quiet area of Colonia de Sant Jordi -- close to the beach
The hotel has a nice location in the quiet area of Colonia Santa Jordi in the south of Majorca. The area is a former fishing village and there's a traditional fishing port a few minutes' walk from the hotel. The coastal strip near the hotel is a protected space with beautiful white beaches, and the closest beach is a three-minute walk away. It provides recreational activities such as scuba diving, sailing, and swimming, plus it also has a section with sun loungers and umbrellas for rent. Other nearby beaches include Beach Es Trenc, Playa Es Carbo, and Playa Es Dolc. There are many shops, restaurants, and bars within walking distance. Guests can catch the 502 bus from just outside the hotel, which takes about an hour to get to Palma. It's a 40-minute drive to Palma de Mallorca Airport.
