Bon Sol - Calvià

Really wonderful. the treatment of all exquisite staff and excellent food. wishing to return

Wonderful hotel with a wonderful trajectory. The best way to spend the nights is to listen to the singer jimmy coker

We had a thoroughly enjoyable stay at the Bon Sol. The hotel itself is extremely well run and the attention to detail is remarkable. It really is marvelous how the hotel buildings span from high on the side of the hill right down to the sea and the system of lifts and tunnels make it easy to get around. The extensive grounds are almost like a tropical garden and provide lots of different spots to sit or lie and relax. The staff were all fantastic and couldn't have been more helpful. The only downside was the restaurant food which could have been so much better. Breakfasts were brilliant and I couldn't have asked for more. But lunch and dinner were a bit bland and there was nothing really Spanish about the meals. Most guests seem to be on half board and there is no doubt that it is great value. We decided not to take the half board option and were glad. There aren't many restaurants within walking distance but it is so easy and cheap to get the bus from outside the hotel into the centre of Palma.

First off the good our room was incredible. Amazing views off of the larger than expected balcony (we chose a Junior suite). The pool/ocean area was relaxing and a nice way to spend the day in the sun. The bad and the reason for the low rating the food. The breakfast is fine, nothing to write home about but not expecting much there. Dinner on the other hand was just not good at all. There is very fancy presentation, but the food is just not good. The first night, we got in late and had the meal in the main hotel area. We were starving from a full day of travel so you would think anything would taste amazing, but the food was pretty bland. The second day, we figured it had to be better, but it was worse. The soup was palpable and the pasta was easy to eat doused in Parmesan, but then the steak came out and was just completely raw in the middle. When I brought it up, the waiter looked at it and was visibly shocked that it was so undercooked but then nothing was done about it. The meal was just taken away and then we were asked to sign for the drinks a few minutes later and left. This prompted us to cancel the half board and will be enjoying the food that Palma has to offer the rest of the trip.

We enjoyed our meal. The burger was good, the chicken breast was very tender and the sangria was great!
