The staff are very friendly and the food is excellent. It’s a good base for sightseeing in Palma (via the very cheap bus services) but be aware that the nearby Playa is “party central” for (mostly) German stag and hen parties. It’s not unsafe but it can be noisy and the local cafes and restaurants are largely targeted at this demographic.
We were on the Iberostar B&B rate, which proved to be a good choice. Be aware a) that there are local laws that restrict the amount of alcohol that can be included in any “all inclusive” rate and b) the hotel itself restricts the food options for “AI” customers - such that “all inclusive” customers get less value, in my view. Also, while the “Star Prestige” package does give some benefits such as upper floor rooms and discounts in the restaurants - the SP exclusive rooftop lounge has only a very shallow “pool” (such that swimming is impossible) and closes very early (6PM) - thus you might not want to pay too much extra for SP either.
The hotel is however very clean and with a good range of organised activities and evening entertainments in the bar, which we enjoyed. There’s also a Spa/gym, which we did not use.
