Residencia UIB in Palma de Mallorca … This place has very clean and modern rooms with en suite bathrooms. The daily cleaning and towel changing were perfect—I have nothing to complain about. This is a good place to socialize and meet young (and not only Spanish) people. There is a breakfast buffet available for an extra 3.50 euros. The staff were very friendly, but not really able or willing to speak any other language but Spanish. The campus situated between Palma and Valldemossa, and is hard to reach by local bus, especially during the early morning, or evening, or night. The bus frequencies during daytime are okay. I would recommend making use of one of the numerous fairly cheap car rentals—a very nice way to explore the whole island and a very comfortable way to get from and to the airport and hostel. The nearest supermarkets are Carfour and LIDL at the motorway just outside Palma
Hostel Terramar in Palma de Mallorca … clean, secure, great staff, location ok, full of young people having a good time, little bit noisy but on the whole good value
Hostal Apuntadores in Palma de Mallorca … The lobby has been renovated, as has the terrace, which rocks, but I would hate to see what the rooms looked like before the renovations! The showers have water and pressure, and a lock on the door but that's all they have going for them. You get a huge age range of people staying there. The daytime staff are flat out bitchy, but the nighttime guy rocks! Good location, and probably the better of selections in this town.
Platja de Palma Hostel in Palma de Mallorca … The breakfast is terrible; the price is great; it's close to the beach, which is beautiful; the area is a bit run-down, but safe; and it's quite crowded in the summer.
Cas Comte Petit Hotel in Mallorca … An absolutely first-class hotel in the most beautiful surroundings. Caring, attentive staff have made this a memorable stay. We will definitely return. Thank you for all!!!
Hostal Oliver in Mallorca … This place was great! I went here during spring break when I studied abroad, and they could not be nicer. First off all, it was off-season, and the rooms were 15 euros a night. The man at the front desk was very kind to us and very helpful. I felt like I was in a hotel. The rooms were beautiful. I visited in March and it was a bit cold, but I am sure that in the summer this place is wonderful!
Camping La Playa in Ibiza … Such a cool place! Literally right on the beach, out in the countryside. Very close to a PADI shop and water sports rentals. I saw a completely different side of Ibiza here. Good restaurant, the bar plays great beats and it's right on the beach. The owner basically gutted the place when he bought it and put in all new facilities. The staff are fantastic. Also, if you don't have a tent you can rent one from them for super cheap. I will definitely be back here!
Hotel Sa Coma in Banyalbufar … An excellent family-run hotel. Many people return here year after year. It has good food, friendly service and peace and quiet!!
Hostal Terramar in Palma de Mallorca … We visited the hostel for two weeks, August 3-18, 2004. We found it a great value for money, and a hassle-free accommodation. Bob, the manager, was fantastic, and was mostly available to help out with any problems. He'll probably remember us, so sorry for the party on the rooftop with the Belgiums on the last night, mate, and for being slightly late on our exit! The hostel is situated in a vibrant area, with plenty of cafes and bars to choose from, and a glitzy ritzy-style night club five minutes away on the harbor front. (We decided to abstain.) This means Fridays and Saturdays are busy, so be prepared for a bit of noise in the early hours. It was no problem for us, though. In short, this is a well-situated, well-run hostel at a very affordable price.
Monterrey Apartments in Ibiza … i was not very impressed because the year i stayed their it was very rowdy and people were sneaking in and staying for free with relations!!!!
Hotel 5 Islas in Palma de Mallorca … My friend and I booked this low budget hotel not expecting a lot but were utterly disappointed even with not such high expectations. Not so much with the hotel itself, but with the attitude of the staff and the deceivement when the reservation was made. Upon arrival we were greeted (more look at) by a non-English speaking receptionist who did not seem that interested in our arrival. We managed to communicate most of the time using hand waving signals and English/German/Italian words similar to Spanish. When we showed the receptionist our reservation, he said no breakfast is included only to find the confirmation later that it was included in the price. The disappointment was yet to come the following morning. After entering the room we saw what we pretty much expected. Basic furniture, one might say it is acceptable for that price. Nice, small, private bathroom, TV, two chairs, a fridge and a balcony. Not so unhappy about the room. Room was cleaned every other day. The one positive…
Hotel Colo in Palma de Mallorca … Dirty, neglected, old and very expensive. I slept for three nights with an old sock under my bed. I've no words!!! The last time in my life here!!!
