http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/ Welcome to Been there. Your tips on the places you know - that you love, live in or have just visited - are what make this guide. http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/36679 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/36679 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/35327 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/35327 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/34537 Specific highlights were the swimming pool where my sons and me spent an idyllic summer afternoon, our evening meal on the terrace patio - the suckling pig was wonderful. We also enjoyed the freshest sangria I have ever tasted. My youngest son's highlight was the fresh orange juice at breakfast straight from the orchard.
The website is lovely but the reality is even better, every part of the hotel inside and out is pristine.
Son Palou has my highest recommendation and we will be back.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/34537 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/34536 There is a buffet menu for all meals with local cuisine and fresh produce. Sporting activity programe and nightly entertainment if you want it. An adult only haven. No coincidence most of my fellow guests were teachers!]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/34536 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/34472 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/34472 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20320
The hotel deco is classic but nice, and it has a good restaurant with fresh fish and local products.

I recommend it to those looking to relax (yoga classes are available) and want to visit 'the other Mallorca', not the one of sun and sangria.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20320 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20308
I really enjoyed my stay there and it's perfect for a short escapade to Palma, as it's close to Palma shopping, nightlife and restaurant areas.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20308 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20303
Avoid if you don't like children.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/20303 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19254 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/19254 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13060
Modern but not cold or boring (Scando style).
Lovely sized rooms (enough room for a big bed and sofa). Discreet TV hifi combo, with a free DVD and CD library (good selection too).

Beautiful coastal views (amazing for the sunset).
A good bar, great breakfast, great burgers (on room service - in fact the room service food is better than the main restaurant which was a bit nouvelle).

Wonderful staff, just really super helpful.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/13060 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12279 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12279 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12247 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/12247 http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8039
It boasts five stars, all of which are well-deserved. Everywhere there is space. Cool and marbled. High ceilings and tumbling water.

Even the lifts are examples of good design with walls and ceiling of black glass. The myriad tiny lights in the ceiling illuminate the interior giving an infinity of images of the occupants, who appear to be floating in a void.

Soft squashy sofas and cool, comfortable chairs are everywhere. On landings, around unexpected corners and always within reach, huge ornate bowls of apples and oranges. The decor is subdued elegance from the wide marble staircases to the large abstract paintings on the walls.]]> http://www.ivebeenthere.co.uk/tips/8039
