This hotel is in C'an Pastilla which is situated very close to Palma airport although the flight path was not directly overhead whilst we were there. The El Cid is directly opposite a fantastic beach which runs 4 miles down to El Arenal. Tourist "train" runs frequently down there from outside the hotel. The facilities are terrific. 2 outdoor and... More

Friendly hotel overlooking beach. Near airport though this was not a problem. Bus 21 from airport costs only 2.50 euros and stop is at back of hotel. Bus into Palma(15 or 25) costs 1.50 euro. Two swimming pools and plenty of space to sunbathe.

10 mins on the bus from the airport, close to different parts of the beach and when you walk further west there's a town centre with nice tapas/fish restaurants, grocers, bakeries and harbour front for evening strolls. It was not as noisy as we expected it to be, room was clean and bright with aircon, lovely balcony with wifi access... More

I stayed here in September 2010, it's a belated review but I will try to be as specific as I can :) I had a single room which was OK. Big enough, on the third floor, with all the necessary amenities and even with a sea view. I didn't expect a sea view since I had reserved a single room... More

I stayed at this hotel for 1 week and I have chosen it because it was 4 star rated. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the overall service. First of all, at our arrival, the person at the reception told us there was a mistake and they didn't book the room for us for the first night. The solution was to... More

My roommate and I enjoyed the food, shows and the beautiful view from our balcony. It was so nice to simply walk across to the beach during our 7 day stay. The staff was always helpful and attentive to our request. I have nothing negative to say. I had a great time and I will definitely return to EL CID.

It is an OK hotel. I expect a beautiful room but it was not. The location is very nice hotel two steps from the beach. The food is good and the belsig both morning and evening. In terms of cleanliness is impeccable. I recommend this hotel.

Just back from a 3 day break at this hotel and generally found it to be a good holiday hotel and would definitely use it again. It is 5 minutes from the airport on the 21 bus forjust over a Euro and the stop you need is helpfully called 'Hotel El Cid'. It is right on the beach and this... More

I actually stayed in a hotel down the road (Hotel Roc Leo, which I would recommend) but most of the group I was traveling with was in this hotel. While the rooms were nice and my friends had a nice view of the ocean plus a large balcony, the night manager was utterly ridiculous. Our group does our best to... More
