Hotel Sabina Playa

"I wouldn’t call it the best hotel in the world, but one huge advantage is that it is adult-friendly: quiet, peaceful and genuinely relaxing. Even the younger guests seemed to understand the atmosphere and didn’t turn the place into a party venue. You may, however, get a room overlooking one of the neighbouring hotels that isn’t adult-friendly, but around the pools and during meals, peace and good manners are pretty much guaranteed. The food was very good - although perhaps August being a holiday month for Spaniards themselves helped a little ;) Either way, it was undeniably tasty. The staff in the restaurant and at the bar were also absolutely lovely. I was disappointed with the reception staff, though. I stayed at the hotel during the solar eclipse, and when I asked whether the rooftop would remain open after 8 p.m. (the eclipse was at 8:30 p.m.), I was told, “Probably not.” Apparently, I wasn’t the only person who had asked, and everyone had been given the same answer. Evidently, keeping it open for an extra half an hour was too much to ask of the famously punctual Spaniards - but the more interesting part is that the rooftop was open after all, and even the hotel staff came up to watch the astronomical spectacle. Personally, I was also frustrated by the poor Wi-Fi. I travelled solo and planned to get some work done, but unfortunately, it wasn’t easy. If you’re coming purely to relax, though, I imagine you won’t care at all :) The area is extremely touristy and, unfortunately, very British-and-German-oriented - but well, that’s Mallorca. To sum up, I would recommend this hotel if you want to escape children, enjoy a quiet and peaceful week, and have two tasty meals a day without leaving the property. I would not recommend it to workaholics and/or the self-employed ;)"

"We are just home from a week staying at the hotel Sabina playa. On the positive side, the rooms were immaculate and we were very impressed with the level of cleanliness throughout the hotel. The location is also good, situated between Cala Millor and Cala Bona, which makes it very central and convenient for getting around. There are plenty of nice places to eat nearby, so you’re well catered for in terms of options outside the hotel. However, there were a few significant downsides that affected our stay. The hotel seems to cater mainly to a German clientele, which also extends to the entertainment, so we didn’t really feel it was geared towards us, which was disappointing and is one of the reasons we wouldn’t return, we were made to feel quite uncomfortable. We also felt that reception staff were quite rude and not particularly helpful at times, which added to the negative experience. The biggest issue we experienced was at the rooftop pool, where there was a serious problem with what appeared to be small fruit flies. They were everywhere along the railings and surrounding areas to the point where it was impossible to sit or relax, as they were constantly landing on us. We reported this to reception and around six cleaners were sent up, but they only stayed for about five minutes and unfortunately didn’t seem to resolve the issue. In fact, they began getting the flies on them as well and then left, with the situation remaining just as bad afterwards. Because of these issues, particularly the experience at the rooftop pool and the lack of effective action taken, we personally would not return to this hotel and did not fully enjoy our stay. We stayed at Protur Bonamar last year and it was excellent in comparison — we would definitely recommend that instead of this hotel."

"Nice and clean hotel stopped for 10 days,mainly catering for Germans,wasn’t say food was great breakfast was best meal of the day good selection,but can’t really fault the views or the cleanliness,main downside again was the depressed German clientele 😂"
