What an amazing place! We visit Mallorca quite a lot as we love the island, and heard about this place via some friends. My hubby decided to treat us to this hotel for my birthday present and what a present it was. I loved the setting and the sea view from the restaurant at night as the sun set was... more

I had visited Formentor beach earlier on in the year with a couple of girlfriends. It is stunning and for this reason I knew that when my husband and I came back to Mallorca for a short break to enjoy some late summer sun in September, we had to stay at the Barcelo Formentor. I had read the negative reviews... more

We undertook a sneak review of the hotel last week- just to check if things had changed at all since we last stayed there 9 months ago. I have to say that whilst the beach bars have sharpened up their act and are managed by a friendly group of staff, this to be frank is an amazingly overpriced hotel. Thankfully... more

Go here for location, location, location - but not for spacious rooms with balconies or if you're interested in value for money. One night in a sea-facing room without a balcony and just breakfast currently costs £400. This isn't really worth it, although the beach was amazing and the sea the clearest I've seen anywhere (although there weren't many fish).... more

We stayed here for two nights at the beginning of October. The setting is undeniably fantastic the views and gardens are simply glorious, which is a good job because when we stayed the room was badly cleaned (hairs in the bath) and the food was appalling , we arrived late the first night and were told that the restaurant was... more

We have just returned from a week at the Formentor hotel with our twenty month old daughter. The setting is magical and the extensive gardens are absolutely beautiful - even with full occupancy the grounds seemed empty and quiet. We booked a mountain view room and were given one of the larger ones away from the car park below. It... more

We went in June and loved it so much we went again in September. Nothing sycophantic about this place, just good food, attentive staff and outstanding location. We have never felt so relaxed after one week's holiday.Our four year old daughter loved it too. more

We have just got back from Staying at the Formentor Hotel and we had a fabulous holiday. We are a family of four, two girls aged three and seven. The staff were lovely to the children, a handful of stiff and starchy older people staying at the hotel who wanted a bit of peace, but we generally stayed on the... more

Such a pity. A beautiful setting, one of the few hotels in Mallorca almost directly on the beach. The hotel initially looks lovely, has extensive grounds and a glamorous air. Then you get to your extremely expensive room, that was incredibly hard to reserve, and it is a closet. A closet with a view of the parking lot. That is... more
