HM Alma Beach - Adults Only

Our room was comfortable, clean and air-conditioned and the hotel has a tastefully-decorated and air-conditioned lobby and adjoining lounge and dining areas. There are two outdoor pools (one on the roof) and each has a bar where you can order food and the service is good. It was easy to find places around the downstairs pool but the roof terrace is popular and the loungers are taken early. The piece-de-resistance of this hotel is its fabulous breakfast and evening dinner buffets, with a wide choice of dishes, all of excellent quality. There are themed dinner nights, such as Italian, Japanese, Spanish and a cheese night. All fabulous and delicious. Alma Beach is about 2 minutes’ walk from a lovely Mediterranean bay and beach and the town comes to life after dark, with endless shopping streets and restaurants to explore. All the hotel staff were friendly, welcoming and helpful. I think it’s also fair to say that some parts of the local neighbourhood are very deprived, so the views of the rooftop pool you see on the travel brochures give a more contemporary feel to the resort than the reality. It’s more ‘old town’ than modern. Nonetheless, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, which included a short uber ride into the vibrant capital of Palma, where you can find everything from a stunning cathedral to high-end retail stores.

Me 43 and my mum 65 had a 5 night break here at the end of June. We had a double room with a balcony. We knew we didn’t have a sea view as that was extra. Our view was of buildings like residential/hotels. But you can see the planes taking off and landing depending on your floor, we were floor 5. One thing that struck us with the room, like others have said, is the shower cubicle being in the middle of the room. It is frosted out but not 100%. Toilet is behind a closed door, it’s just the shower and sink in the main room. There is not much storage but we managed as we travelled light. You get a fridge, safe, hairdryer and kettle in the room. Two chairs and a table on the balcony plus a drying line. Otherwise the room is very nice and spotless. The ground floor pool doesn’t get the sun until much later and not that many sun loungers from what I saw. We used the sky bar pool on floor 8. It’s really nice but again not many sun beds or loungers. The snacks from the sky bar are very nice but pricey. They have music playing which we thought was quite loud especially if your lounger is right next to it. There is another area to sunbathe on floor 5 with no pool which has beds and loungers and is usually quiet. We didn’t eat at the hotel other than the one snack so can’t comment. We had food at El Goucho which is very nice and also Mel’s bar for home cooked British food. There is a bar called The Manchester Pub too which is very friendly. Really nice place to fully relax and unwind. We will be returning.

location is excellent....so close to the airport. the hotel is really clean and the breakfast buffet is very good. out room supposedly a premium room was miniature. the shower is in the middle of the room in a glass enclosure. twin beds were pushed together to form a double and the metal lighting box is just at head height above the bed causing numerous head bumps. we could not open the curtains or use the balcony as the air conditioner was extremely limited. the room was roasting even at night. a staff member said not to open the curtains or patio door as the air conditioner would shut off. having a balcony was no advantage. we experienced 30 degrees of heat I would pity guests if the temps were any greater. the pools were lovely but you hire a pool towel. for the money you might get somewhere with better air conditioner and a better room

This is the first hotel I have ever stayed in where all the staff are very friendly, happy and seem to enjoy working there. The hotel is spotlessly clean and the facilities are great. Breakfasts are great with a lovely selection of food including local specialties. The rooftop pool and bar is a lovely place to spend the day, yes there are only a finite amount of sun beds, however there is another sun terrace on the forth floor and a further pool and beds on the ground floor. There are a number of comments about the size of the rooms and yes the smallest rooms are small and probably could do with a few more shelves to put clothes etc, however the air conditioning works brilliantly and the bathroom facilities are to a good standard. I would definitely recommend this hotel and I will be back.

Excellent stay with professional and attentive staff who were more than willing to help make our holiday memorable and enjoyable. We would definitely recommend the HM Alma Beach.
