- Kid
- Teen
A friendly, good value all inclusive a short stroll from the shallow, sheltered Palmanova beach on the southwest coast, close to Palma and the airport. Four pools, two with kids' waterslides, a 60cm deep toddler pool and a free Mini Club make it an easy first family holiday base.
Our verdict
A dependable, wallet friendly family all inclusive with better pools than the price suggests.
The rooms
Straightforward, well kept family rooms that sleep up to four, most with a balcony. Nothing fancy, but functional and clean, with connecting options for bigger groups. This is a value all inclusive, so set expectations around comfort rather than style.
