Apartamentos Ben Hur

"A very good deal out of season. Visited in October so late season but still warm - mid 20's. Apartment was huge, with a double balcony. 10-15 minute walk from a large supermarket so can stock up on very good quality produce for use in the kitchen. I cooked good meals, including calamari with the equipment provided. Less than 5 minute walk from beach. Two downsides 1. Sleep quality. Black out blinds were great. But walls are very thin, and sound carries easily between walls, and between floors. Even neighbours placing a glass down on their bedside table travelled through walls. 2. Guests from one particular nation at the hotel were cold, spent most of their time walking round scowling, and sat at the pool staring bored and judgementally at the people around them, and were abrupt with the staff. I left wondering what it is about German tourists that means they are so unhappy when they choose to go on holiday."

"These apartments are spacious and clean, the staff are friendly and helpful. The pool is clean, albeit a little cold, but the beach is a short walk away. On a whole the apartments are very good value for money, and I would highly recommend them. I for one will definitely be going back again next year."

"We are leaving here today after staying here a week, we found the hotel a lovely place to stay, the rooms are and the hotel are very clean, pleaseant and comfortable with air conditioned rooms, yes a little basic but I'm yet to stay in a self catering hotel in spain which generally has more than 2 rings to cook with, we generally ate out as we are on holidays anyway, we found the hotel staff very polite and the reception staff were extremely helpful with any problems or queries we had during our stay. Unlike previous comments there was an influx of new german holiday makers which on their first night were extremely rowdy and mischievous, i'm not sure what the hotel said to them but we never heard a peep from them on following nights! Playa de palma however is a german resort aimed at german 18-30's so if you're looking for British home comforts the resort itself may not be for you... other than that i would highly recommend this hotel.
