“Disappointing”

My partner and I chose this hotel for a relaxing break away from the busy resorts of Majorca. The experience was one I would chose not to repeat.

The hotel itself is stunning and kept immaculately clean throughout. For the most part the staff are very friendly and try their best to make your stay pleasurable. The issues are with how it is run/managed. The service is incredibly slow and this is actually quite relaxing at first as you can take your time over meals. This became a problem as the hotel filled up.

With only 24 rooms, you would think they could cope but by only opening the outside at lunch and the main restaurant in the evening, there are simply not enough tables for the number of guests or at least not at the speed they serve you. You had to rush to get a table or risk not being fed until much later (we had to wait 90 minutes to get a lunch table for 2). They also open and close at random times, not as stated in the guide in the room. This would not be a problem if there was anything close by as an alternative but there is not. They cannot help their location but at least make sure your guests have a choice.

Functions took priority over guests. Guests were requested to eat outside one night so that some art function could take over. A reduced menu was served which had an equally reduced level of service. Despite complaining, the restaurant manager chose to shrug and agree. The meet and greet BBQ the following night was cancelled without explanation...a great idea but no commitment to follow it through.

We eventually gave up and 4 days into our 7 day break, hired a car and left, only returning to sleep.

Judging by the other comments on here, which we read prior to booking, we were either extremely unlucky (as the manager stated when we formally complained) or there are a number of others who have chosen to complain in silence rather than voice their opinions to warn others. We spoke to others during our stay to ensure we were not being unfair. They shared various complaints.

In summary, the building is fantastic and the more junior staff (and front desk staff) very friendly and helpful. It is however badly run/managed, overpriced and offers a very poor choice, service wise, for people intending to stay more than a couple of days.

In fairness to the management, we were offered a complimentary stay to demonstrate that these were exceptional conditions. We politely declined.

“Pure Luxury”

Gran Hotel Son Julia

Sep 30, 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

An excellent place to stay!

I stayed in a superior garden room, the room was very spacious and the bed was extremely comfortable. Large Plasma TV in the room, only enlish news and CNN available ( plenty of spanish and german channels) however, there is a DVD player and a good selection of films at reception.

Staff were very efficient, friendly and the general service was excellent.

There is a lot of marble in the hotel and my only negative comment is that I could hear some noise from the room above due to the marble floor, but this did not prevent me getting a good nights sleep.

  • This TripAdvisor Member:
    • Liked — Very plush room and comfortable bed
    • Disliked — Hearing the people above walking on the marble foor!

“truly relaxing”

Gran Hotel Son Julia

Sep 19, 2007

We have just returned after spending 9 relaxing days at the hotel. It was exactly what we wanted. The food was of a very high standard (How can they make a Foie Gras soup?), the staff were without exception courteous and friendly and the p[ools were so good, one so large that it felt endless and the other in such a beautiful setting. We only looked at the spa as the weather was such that we stayed in the open air. We had hired a car which we used rarely - Llucmajor was too far to walk to and we found it uninteresting but they may be because we did not try too hard. All in all a truly relaxing holiday exactly what we needed . we hope to go to another Stein hotel.

“Amazing”

Gran Hotel Son Julia

We recently had such a dissapointing luxury?? holiday at Elounda in Crete that we wanted to go away again. This hotel blows the Elounda Bay Palace out of the water. This IS a luxury hotel. The food, service, rooms and pools are outstanding. We will come back for sure and best of all it is great value for money, we paid 200 pounds per night for a garden room. ENJOY!!

“A Great Sixtieth Birthday”

Gran Hotel Son Julia

My wife booked this hotel for my sixtieth birthday.

It was excellent in every way.

But perhaps the best bit, was that they made me a gluten-free birthday cake. (I'm a coeliac)

The only strange thing about the hotel is how they make money out of it. I suspect as it's part of a group, they're in for the long haul, so go now before it gets even more expensive.

My wife loved the pool. She is a serious swimmer and hates small pools with not enough loungers.
