Formentor Cape, Mallorca Island hotel rooms at the Independent

"We went to this hotel to celebrate my 60th birthday and it did not disappoint. From the moment we arrived and got to are room at 130am there was water and sandwiches ,just on case we were hungry 60th birthday card and chocolate. The room and bathroom was spotless,with nice size balcony to sit on. The pools are lovely with walk in steps and the pool with the music had lovely lots of steps in the pool ,so great for sitting on and reading when it got to hot,was a great way to cool down. So great if you have mobility issues. Sun beds are large with comfortable thick cushions and extra large sun umbrellas. Pool towels given everyday . No fighting to find a sunbed late morning. The food was the best I have eaten on holiday ,huge variety of salads,fish and meat,presented amazingly. The best orange salmon ,I have ever tasted and steak was cooked to perfection. Entertainment each night was good,if you get chance to watch Ben and the Lost boys and fantastico,you will not be disappointed. But what makes this hotel 5 star ,is the attentive staff. I have to mention Lenka ,who was restaurant front of house in the evening,always greeted with big smile and always ensuring we were comfortable and a font of knowledge. Juan the waiter with his big smile and always ensuring we had a drink and I have to mention pool life guard Louie who would help me up off the sunbed when needed ,ensuring everyone around the pool were comfortable and was always busy tidying with a smile ."

"Well located, clean and comfortable. Friendly staff. The breakfast buffet is amazing, it has many options, and I highly recommend it. "

"Great stay "

"Great hotel, great location if a quieter more family friendly trip is your goal! Staff was soo friendly and helpful, even when they couldn’t help us, they did everything they could to makeup for it. Very clean hotel, beautiful pools facing the lagoon. Maybe a 5 minute walk to the beach if that! Rooms our a little tight, but most have a balcony."

"The room was very nice, with nice terrace. Lots of local restaurants around. Breakfast was very good, fresh fruits and a large variety. We didn’t like that you had to sit at the same table every morning as they allocate you a table. The towels are old and not clean , have marks on it. "

"Easy to get to on the bus. Near shops and the beach. Friendly and polite staff."
