Hipotels Mediterraneo

Housed in a large, seven-story white building, the Hipotels Mediterraneo is surrounded by lovely, beachfront grounds. Grassy lawns are dotted with palm trees, flower beds, and other greenery, while the attractive pool is encircled by tall palms and surrounded by an immense sundeck neatly lined with umbrella-shaded loungers. Inside, the massive seven-story atrium lobby features greenery dangling from the interior hallways stacked above, injecting freshness into the space. Sleek, white tile floors and plenty of natural light make the space bright and airy. Simple, clean-lined wooden sofas with white padding as well as some colorful armchairs scattered throughout provide plenty of seating in the lobby, while large abstract art hangs on the walls. Other common areas, like the hotel's dining spaces, are equally bright and modern. Angular, olive green and floral-patterned armchairs fill the bar, and stylish lamps hang overhead. The hotel's Japanese restaurant is awash in bold red and black hues, while another dining space is a sea of crisp white tablecloths and gleaming white marble floors. Overall, this is a polished resort-style property with a quiet atmosphere. An adult-only policy and beachside location attract couples seeking a sunny vacation -- the majority of guests here are German, as well as some Brits and other northern Europeans.  

Set on the beach in Sa Coma, a small resort town on Majorca's eastern coast, the hotel occupies a convenient location for sea and sun seekers, while also being within walking distance of restaurants, bars, and shops. There are many other hotels in the immediate vicinity. The picturesque Castillo de sa Punta de n’Amer is a seven minute drive away or a pleasant 28-minute walk for those who like exploring on foot. Other nearby attractions include Safari Zoo (an 11-minute drive away) and the Drach Caves (a 13-minute drive, or about 20 minutes by bus). Palma's airport is about an hour away by car, and Palma's city center can be reached in a bit over an hour.

The hotel offers double rooms, which are divided into four categories: Standard, Sea View, Premium, and Select. They're all the same size (323 square feet, or 30 square meters) and have furnished balconies overlooking the grounds and surroundings -- some have sea or partial sea views. Decor is simple, with dark wood contemporary furniture contrasted by cream walls and tiled floors. A few decorative pieces -- like mosaic tile panels on the walls, or sculptural glass-and-wood pieces set on shelving -- add a bit of sleek and sexy appeal. The spaces either feature a neutral color palette of beige, cream, and brown hues, or pair these coffee and cream colors with burgundy accents.Amenities include flat-screen TVs with satellite channels, minibars, air-conditioning, safes (for an added charge), and free Wi-Fi, but there are no coffee- and tea-making facilities in entry-level rooms. Select Double Rooms add extras like Smart TVs, capsule coffee machines, bathrobes, welcome drinks, and turndown service. Bathrooms are fairly small and equipped with shower/tub combos as well as magnifying mirrors, wall-mounted hairdryers, and toiletries.

The highlight here is the large and lovely outdoor pool, which is bordered by tall palms and surrounded by a massive sundeck neatly lined with plenty of loungers and umbrellas. There's plenty to do indoors, as well, as the hotel's wellness offerings are fairly extensive. They include a small heated indoor pool plus saunas, steam rooms, a Turkish bath, a spa offering various treatments, and a hair salon. A fitness center has a variety of modern cardio and weight-training equipment, and tennis courts are available as well.The hotel has a buffet-style restaurant that gets good reviews from past guests, with half-board and all-inclusive plans available. Other on-site dining options include a Japanese restaurant, Italian, and Spanish tapas. There's also a poolside snack bar, as well as a bar with a stage where the animation team performs evening shows. Entertainment includes games and competitions during the day, as well as evening performances and live music.Wi-Fi is free throughout the property.
