Innside by Melia Palma Bosque 

The staff in this lovely hotel are simply fabulous, helpful and friendly. The rooms are large and airy with a lovely balcony over looking the pool area. I wasn't too keen on the Shower being the dividing wall, but it works...and makes the whole room bright and light. Great storage and hanging space, safe and free mini bar.The 3 Swimming pools, the gym, sauna and steam room make for a relaxing or uplifting stay. I liked the fact that it wasn't dead central and was a 20 min walk to town, as you saw all the residential areas and how life is for the residents of this fabulous City. Breakfast is amazing! So much choice! The Sea Bass for dinner is a real treat! The only negative I can think of is the company that laid the flooring in the bedroom left gaps between some, but not all the planks.!! I will definitely return.

We are a family of four, our children are 6 and 9 and shared the sofa bed in our room very comfortably. Some rooms don’t have balconies and some of the balconies open out onto the pool area so you’d need to check that when booking. The food is very good. The sushi is SO good. We found the breakfast ok but quite punchy price wise and you can only have the buffet option which was slightly annoying as we are light eaters, so didn’t represent value for us. There are plenty of little cafes within a ten minute walk which did good breakfasts more suited to our family. Also a big supermarket. We walked into Palma most days, and took us 35 mins. The indoor pool is open 10-6 and there is a sauna and steam room. Pool towels are provided. Gym is good too, well equipped. The staff were really helpful and friendly, and the beds were v comfy with good quality linens. The free mini bar (alcohol free) is also a nice touch. One star removed because there is a construction site opposite and immediately next door so our stay wasn’t as relaxing as it could have been due to construction noise. Not the hotels fault but affected our stay so thought worth a mention. The hotel is smart and modern and is great value for money. I would definitely recommend and would definitely return. The construction will be done in a month or two so make sure you ask for a pool view room if booking in the mean time.

This hotel is nice but there are a few places it really needs to improve upon. We let them know prior to our arrival that we’d got engaged and asked for a bottle of champagne on arrival and received a reply saying we’d have to email someone else about it. When we got to our room it was fairly basic with no amenities kit and no tea or coffee facilities. It was also two single beds pushed together with separate duvets etc - not ideal for an engagement celebration trip. The changing rooms by the pool were out of order during our stay and the steam room didn’t work either. The lifts felt like a death trap and constantly dropped. The bar was nice with pleasant staff but we were unable to put drinks charges on the room so had to pay each time which was annoying. The minibar is free but ours had four drinks all non-alcoholic so I think it depends what tier of room you’re in - regardless, the option to pay for a beer in our room would have been nice. It’s well located and mostly pretty clean and zen and the pools are nice so it wasn’t a disaster - just not very special at all.
