Have stayed at this hotel a number of times - the last time being June 2007 for 7 nights. The staff are very friendly. The rooms are very clean and perfect for beach/pool holiday. Gorgeous balcony overlooking the sea...Ask for a room with a seaview...Amazing sunset over the Med! Can Pastilla is not really an 'english' resort - most there... more

The hotel is fine with the food being good and healthy choices. The cleaners come every day and do a great job! Our seaview was disappointing.We could see the sea if we hung over the balcony and looked left it mainly consisted of the carpark dustbins and a road this is not a sea view in my opinion. I'm pretty... more

Just returned from a holiday in Majorca, staying at the El Cid . I have to say this hotel caters mostly for Germans, very few British people stay here, the food is even catered for German people. The hotel claims a 4 star status, but I would only give it 2 star, mostly, because of the unhelpful staff, and the... more

Just returned from a week at the El Cid. We were terribly disappointed with the hotel. They advertise themselves as a 4 star hotel and they most certainly are not. We booked through First Choice as it's supposed to an adult only hotel. However there were children of other nationalities staying at the hotel. It wasn't a problem as they... more

We have just spent 5 nights at the El Cid and had a great time. We booked through one of the search engine links on Tripadvisor and paid £220 for 5 nights Half Board for the two of us. The same search engines quoted £250 gor B and B for the 2 of us! The El Cid is only 3km... more

Stayed at the Hotel El Cid in Can Pastilla next to Palma. The hotel is very close to Palma airport though you are seldom troubled by the noise. The hotel was clean though food not to 4 star level of the hotel. All rooms had a seaview though ours was to the side but we had the sun from about... more

Stayed here in October 07. Have stayed in Can Pastilla before, at the Alexander-which is Ok, but 3 star, the El Cid is worthy of it's 4 stars! Two huge outdoor pools, and one indoor. We stayed in October and the weather was good for the most part but we did have a day of thunderstorms! The indoor pool was... more

My daughter and i had 4 nights here and we found it to be a comfortable, friendly hotel and very well positioned on the seafront. There are two good sized outdoor pools, one overlooking the sea and the other on the back of the hotel. There is also a small indoor pool. We travelled up and down the seafront and... more
