Sol Palmanova Mallorca

Stayed here June/July 25 for 7 nights 2 adults and a child. Read negative reviews on Facebook was very wary but shouldn't of bothered it was brilliant. We've been to Palmanova before so knew our way around. This hotel is central. There is a back gate that takes you to the beach/shops/restaurants literally a minute walk. Outside the hotel is a small park and some funfair rides. The beaches at Palmanova are amazing. The hotel is brilliant, the pictures are exactly what you get. People moaning about small rooms but it's the picture you see. We got a pool view room and sat on our balcony every night. The entertainment staff are amazing so engaging with my wee one, she went to kids club mostly every day she loved it. The pool area doesn't have much room did feel very close to people and I think they need to get more parsols as it was 33/35 degrees every day with no clouds so by the tail end we needed shade but we had no problem getting beds. Its the usual every where we would go down about half 8 get our beds, breakfast and come back. There was beds taken and people were no where to be seen all day which would be annoying if we couldn't find beds. The kids pool is deckchairs but they were actually really comfortable could quite happily sit there all day. At this time of the year you have the water mat, foam party, pool party, the exercising in the pool etc. The all inclusive food is the standard. Yes it can be repetitive but thats the same every where. 1 night they had steaks and ribs, another fresh prawns and calarmi with all the usual stuff potatoes, chips, rice, pasta. We ate at the snackbar once but preferred the buffet. We didn't actually watch any of the shows as we like going walks in the evening but we would come back and sit in the lobby listening to tribute shows/karaoke. The drinks were fine no complaints. The lifts are slow during busy periods. We were 5th floor theres a lift that only goes to floors 1 and 2 so we would take that and walk the rest. We did the 10 euro deposit for towels (to take to the beach). On the day we had to check out (12) we booked a shower room as we weren't getting picked up until 8pm. Wish we took more photos without my family in it to upload. We would definitely stay again.
