THB EL CID (ADULTS ONLY 18+)

Excellent hotel. Best along the Promenade. Going again very soon.

Hotel is nice, clean and friendly we got a free upgrade. Food is really nice, drinks are reasonably priced. Downside is the beach at first we thought it was nice and quite and after paying € 30.00 for 2 sunbeds and relaxing in to our day we got asked if we wanted a massage easily about 40 times by people wandering up and down the beach. I get that people need to make money but Im not going to change my mind in 5 to 10 minutes. It became a real nuisance being pestered that amount of times and somewhat ruins your time to just chill out and relax. And for anyone thinking just ignore them....you can't..unless they're hiding from the police. However this does not reflect on the hotel or the actual beach as it is kept clean and the sea is beautiful.

Fabulous Stay, very clean, Room was nice with comfy bed and housekeeping very good. No shower cap so take your own. Toiletries available if you ask. Food was good with a nice variety. Allergies, it would’ve been helpful if there was a gluten free breakfast area with bread / pastries like other hotels I’ve experienced. Plenty of fruits, cheese and yoghurts though. Labelling of allergens would also be helpful so you don’t feel a nuisance to the staff. Chef was very accommodating but had to keep asking what was safe to eat. Overall a lovely stay.

Stayed here for 7 nights and wished we could have stayed longer. The hotel is lovely, the staff are great, the breakfast excellent with lots of choice and the views from the hotel are outstanding. The rooms are spotlessly clean and very comfortable. There are two lovely pools at the hotel but we preferred the Molina pool to the sea view pool. Unfortunately, as always seems to happen, people were out there as early as 6am to put towels on the beds and reserve as many as they could, which is very annoying but, if you can't beat them then join them, which is what we did...!!! There is a great Spa shop just outside the hotel which sells lots of snacks, drinks and very nice sandwiches and there are numerous restaurants in a short walking distance. The bus into Palma stops just at the back of the hotel and the little land train runs up and down to El Arenal, which is a lovely ride. The hotel is adults only so it's lovely and quiet with no music blasting out around the pools during the day. It's a very short journey to Palma Airport so no long bus ride. We would definitely stay here again as we loved it.

Just back from a lovely stay at the El Cid. Hotel was always spotless and staff were friendly and helpful. We paid extra during the booking for a nicer room and we were over looking the pool and the sea which was gorgeous. Breakfast was probably the best for selection we have ever had from pastries, cooked, Hams, cheeses, fruits, cereals, breads, pancakes and more. The 'egg' chef was great. Fresh omelettes of your choice and how you wanted it cooked. We managed to get our sunbeds easily on the 2 occasions we wanted them, but we noticed there were a party of 3 that had a total of 9 sunbeds in 3 different positions and staff were not interested. The only day they seemed bothered and to be honest that was only the life guard and that was when the big boss was there . I am not racist in the slightest and i am absolutely aware us brits can be a pain to put up with, but some nationalities there were so very rude and thought everyone else there were a lower level than them. They had what they wanted, when they wanted but that would be any hotel . There are Plenty of shops and restaraunts as soon as you come out of the hotel. Beautiful beach directly opposite, but 2 beds and an umbrella will set you back €30. There is a land train that stops near the hotel and I believe it was €5 pp, we enjoyed that but it was very bumpy and a few of us jolted our backs when they had to slam on which was quite often so be mindful with little ones. We are the type of couple that dont like visiting the same places twice, but if we were we would definitely come back to this hotel

Solo trip to Mallorca. I absolutely love this hotel and its staff. The hotel is right on the beach. The pools get the sun all day and the bar service is excellent. The hotel was minutes away from the airport via taxi! Good points; -Cocktails/drinks selection ✅ -2 towels in room to use at poolside ✅ -Regular towels in room for shower/bath ✅ -Air con ❄️ -TV ✅ -Kettle ✅ -Hairdryer ✅ -Safe (I didn’t feel the need to rent as the hotel feels very safe and trust worthy) ✅ -Close to beach and local restaurants ✅ -DJ playing 80s and hits in the evening ✅ I loved being able to watch the planes land and take off from the airport. I did not mind the noise the planes made due to this. Suggestion from me (30 year old) - Play some low volume music around one of the pools in the day time. Was nice and quiet but could have had something in the background. I just used my headphones in this situation as I was solo traveling. Overall a brilliant hotel, super clean and attentive staff. I would stay again.

Just returned from a short 5 night stay at the El Cid and we loved the place. We arrived late around midnight and received a lovely warm greeting from Denis on reception who gave us all the info we needed for our stay and was really helpful and informative. Our room was a partial sea view on 2nd floor overlooking the front of the hotel. The room was modern, fresh, clean and had a fantastic waterfall shower. We stayed B&B and the breakfast was outstanding with something for everyone both hot and cold offerings. There are plenty of good restaurants nearby. The hotel overlooks a lovely sandy beach with 2 pools one at the front and one at the rear of the hotel. Both pool areas are stunning and there were plenty of sunbed availability throughout the day every day. Every single staff member we engaged with was super polite and friendly and we will definitely come back to this adult only hotel. Thanks for a lovely stay
