This location is a total disaster - it's not worth the time or effort. The sleep was abysmal, and the shower flooded the room, making it a complete nightmare. Avoid at all costs.

This hotel was a cozy and comfortable spot, though it could do with some updating. The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The view from the hotel was stunning, with a picturesque little cove and beach. Breakfast was continental-style. It was conveniently located close to the centre of town, with plenty of bars and eateries within easy reach. I'd definitely stay here again.

Ciutadella's beach is not ideal for those in a rush. With only an hour to spare, it's not the best spot to spend your time. The beach is situated in the city, making it a bit too crowded for some. Additionally, the limited amount of time you have may not be enough to fully enjoy the beach's beauty.

This place is the perfect place for rock diving, and it's only a stone's throw away from town. But don't expect it to be as good as Bondi Beach - it's not even 1% as good. But hey, it's still a great spot in the gorgeous world we live in.

Perfect spot to chill and unwind. The hotel boasts modern, comfortable rooms, and a complimentary breakfast that was both delicious and generous. The staff at reception were particularly friendly and accommodating. The amenities are basic, but the location is great - you can easily walk to the heart of the city. If you're looking for a place to stay with easy access to the local beaches, this is a great choice.
