Easter is a very special time in Mallorca. Families gather around a table, the little ones play in the kitchen while they learn to make the sweets they love so much, and friends meet again amidst laughter and hugs in a celebration that unites us in a very similar way to the way Christmas unites us.
From the moment you land in Mallorca, you may start imagining how your next days of rest in Playa de Palma are going to be: fantastic!
Throughout the year we receive numerous comments from our guests that give meaning to the work we do and make the hotel known to potential future guests. We collect these comments through in-stay quality surveys, but we also collect them from different websites such as TripAdvisor, Booking, Facebook, Google, HolidayCheck...
We would love to know what the Mediterranean is for you, would you tell us?
You have been preparing the family holidays for months, and the day before you catch the plane arrives… it’s all nerves!
