Zafiro Palace Andratx

This is a peaceful and elegant hotel with exceptional food. We spent most of the week relaxing by the adults only pool and it was bliss. The whole site is spotless and the staff were helpful and friendly. The drinks were top notch and you definitely feel like you are having a top-tier luxury experience. There’s plenty of space for everyone. The bedrooms (we stayed in junior sweet) are tasteful and large. The dressing areas are spacious and it’s very comfortable. We didn’t get much use of the balcony, but could have. The views from being so high up over Camp de Mar are lovely. There are four restaurants on site, plus ‘the market’ which is the buffet. And it’s the food in the restaurants that really set this hotel apart. It is simply FANTASTIC. From the fresh sushi, to honey pork, lamb with red current crust, boiled lobster, tomahawk steak… it’s worth going all inclusive because you’ll eat your way through the delicious menus. Dinner was a nightly highlight. There is one slight rub - the entertainment. It’s lacking in regularity and general standard. Some nights there’s a bit of music. Some nights a bit of a dance show. But it’s all a little lacklustre. And it shows in the number of people who attend (or don’t attend) the main Blue Bar each evening. It’s quiet. We mostly went to bed early - which was no bad thing - but dancing the night away is not an option. We’ve been to this hotel twice now. And we may return. Lingering in the pool, in the early evening, overlooking the hills, with a cocktail. It’s a corner of heaven.
