The food was astonishingly good for a hotel buffet, and the wine and cocktails were superb. I had several Bloody Marys, the best I've ever had, and the bars also served excellent coffee with plenty of choice. Apart from the rather dull pool area, everything was perfect. Both the indoor and outdoor pools were terribly cold in October. This Adults Only hotel finally lived up to my expectations for Spain. It's a lovely little place, though the beach is a few minutes down the road, so you can't step straight into the sea.

The hotel looks fancy, but the room felt tired. The beds were more like glorified camp beds, squeaky and very uncomfortable. Even on the lowest setting, the air conditioning never really cooled the room, which could be uncomfortable if you're not used to the heat here. The cleaning staff were exceptional, friendly and good at their jobs. It was noisy too. The walls are thin, especially in rooms facing the pool, and the entertainment and hotel bar get very loud if you have an early flight. We stayed bed and breakfast, so stopping for a drink at the pool bar became a bit of a faff. The grill across the road looked classy, but was just a buffet with limited choice and little explanation. The staff there all seemed annoyed about something.

The pool area was lovely, with plenty of sunbeds and a well-serviced poolside bar. The food and drinks were brilliant, and the cocktails were great too. It was the best all-inclusive food we've had. Some extra labels on the dishes would have helped. The hotel is beautiful and clearly classy as soon as you walk in, with lovely decor and great staff. Welcome drinks would have been a nice touch. It's easily a four-star stay. I can't recommend it enough if you're staying in Alcudia. The local area wasn't for us, so we probably won't return to Majorca, but if we did, we'd choose this hotel again.

The staff made our two weeks at Rei del Mediterrani Palace especially enjoyable. Everyone was welcoming, kind and ready to help, and you could see how hard the team worked to make guests feel looked after. We're already looking forward to returning and wholeheartedly recommend the hotel. The renovated hotel and rooms felt modern and luxurious, and were spotless, with thorough regular cleaning. Shops are nearby, the beach is a 10-minute walk away, and good, cheap public transport is five minutes from the hotel. There's a spacious pool with a fountain and water pillows, and we always found plenty of sunbeds, even when the hotel was full. The main restaurant has room to spare, even in high season, and serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Food quality was consistently high, with lots of choice, vegetarian and gluten-free options, and fresh fruit. Dinner themes changed every night, from Mexican and Japanese to American and Mallorcan. The pool and lobby bars serve a wide range of premium drinks from original bottles. Snacks are available through the day, from ice cream, fruit and peanuts to burgers, pizza and sandwiches.
