Hotel Stil Bonsai

This was our first visit to the Hotel Bonsai - we would strongly recommend it and will be back. Overall Impression The hotel is spotless, and the public room immaculate and comfortable. Facilities The sunbathing area has plenty of sun umbrellas and we never had any problem obtaining a lounger. We enjoyed using the indoor swimming pool and jacuzzi - there is also a sauna. Dining Room Experience In recent years, we have taken all inclusive holidays, where - inevitably - there is a slight conveyor belt feel, as you are not encouraged to linger. However, at the Bonsai, you are not rushed - and when you want to relax and enjoy your holiday, that makes a huge difference. The service was friendly and efficient. Drinks were also reasonably priced. Food For us, the one of the highlights of our stay was the food, especially the evening meal. We were impressed by the quality, range, and variation. Everything was clearly prepared with care and the buffet section was kept clean at all times. A huge thank you to the chefs for all their hard work. Staff It would be unfair to identify individual members of staff, as there was such a friendly and family atmosphere at the hotel - from reception, cleaning, waiting staff, bar staff and chefs. We were very well looked after. Not related to the hotel, but some additional comments. Getting about One couple used the Ting Ting train (stop opposite) to get into town (stop 5 or 6), for just 4.5 euros each. Note, there is quite a break in the timetable at lunch time. Market We visited the market twice. Turn left, and when you have reached the police station (approx 10 minutes walk), you have reached the beginning of the market. If you are after bags, we felt the best value was at the stalls with prices clearly indicated, with were at the far (C’an Picafort) end. Lunch It is, of course possible to eat at the Bonsai, and if you sit outside the bar it has a great location for people watching, whatever the time of day. We went to three restaurants for lunch, which we would recommend. We found a Google search accurate for opening times and directions. Restaurante C’an Tomeu Carrer Ran de Mar, 15 (off Passeig Colon) Visited twice and had the outstanding set menu. Very friendly and typical Mallorcan food. Bar Er Domi Carretera Santa Margalida, 15 (to the left of the police station) Great food. El Gaucho Asador Carrer Silenci, 16 (on the beach, the further end of the resort) We had the set menu (12 noon- 3.30pm). These are our personal views - please double check any information.
