Serious safety incident
I stayed in the hotel for a week back in June this year. On my first afternoon, I entered one of the bathrooms in the pool area. The floors have porcelain tiles along with the walls. The tiles were slippy tiles. Not suitable for bathrooms of that caliber, especially ones located right in the middle of the pool area. The floor was saturated with no wet floors signs down, or floor mats. As I proceeded to leave the bathroom I slipped and fell and woke up in the back of an ambulance. I got 11 stitches on the back of my head, and I am now scarred for life. Afterwards, the staff of the hotel didn't pay much attention to me in terms of checking in to see if I was ok, or try to offer me anything to alleviate any potential legal action. We had a meeting with management. The hotel was apparently advised by their company solicitor to not engage with me. Very disappointed with this. Based on this alone, I would not recommend this resort at all. It is an awful shame as it has the makings of a great place, full of fun. But when it came to my serious accident, their level of duty of care to me was non existent. My accident could have been an awful lot worse, with more serious consequences.

Dear Guest, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear about your unfortunate accident, however, we feel the following needs to be taken into account. It came to our attention that there was an unfortunate incident in the ladies' bathroom in the swimming pool area, where you were found in distress. We understand that accidents can happen, and first aid was promptly provided by our lifeguard, and an ambulance called to ensure your well-being. Our non-slip bathroom tiles can pose a risk when completely wet, especially when entering barefoot. Warning signs to not enter the bathroom wet or barefoot are placed strategically, at the entrance of the bathroom area to avoid accidents such as yours. Your safety is paramount, and upon your return, I personally inquired about your well-being. After informing them, our insurance company conducted a thorough investigation , and concluded that, given the context, the hotel cannot be held responsible. Kind regards, Marco Heitinga Zafiro Palmanova, General Manager

Hotel's Favorite
Arrived with my family of 10 adults and 3 children a treat in lieu of my husbands impending 60th birthday. A 5 day all inclusive holiday (2 adults of which had already arrived from Australia as a birthday surprise). Staff at reception went above and beyond in ensuring surprise went to plan. I had booked 1 swim up room and 3 pool view rooms and honestly could not have been allocated better rooms... We had room 1017...enviably the best room in the entire hotel.. Being an ex travel agent even I was super impressed. Next to kids water pool and bar.... this became the family party room. From our swim up pool to kids adventure pool and main pool with water pillow... amaaasing.....Our entire family young and old had an absolute ball. All staff from bar to restaurant to lifeguards to cleaners... Everyone a total credit to zafiro hotels cannot single anyone out. Restaurant and food varied and amazing.. Although we ate ala carte 1 night we were not overwhelmed.. Found it hard to beat main restaurant. Our one and only minor criticism was the nightly entertainment... Not great... Mibi bit of somethn for adults would be appreciated? . Possibly karaoke or somethn? But after an amazing family day at pool this was not a biggie . Zafiro.. Keep doing what you are doing.. Our family have already started a savings account for next years holiday.... (coz were not paying next time 🤣) Most defo be zafiro 👍.... Thank you so much for the amazing memories made......

Restaurant was closed when we arrived and we were told the only food available was some really pathetic sandwiches and packets of nachos. We had three small kids with us. Nice room, but small. There was a leak in our air con unit during our stay. Staff at Reception are mostly rude. There was a huge delay the one time we requested a taxi. Staff in the restaurant are better. Pool is nice. Food is good. Especially desserts. I wouldn't go back. Too many better options considering the expense of this place. I don't think it's value for money.

We go to Mallorca every autumn lately and have stayed in severel places at different hotels. Zafiro was the first one and the only one so far where we returned. We had such a great time on our second visit too that most likely we will return in the future as well.

We really enjoyed our week here and, for the price we paid, I'd rate it 5 stars. FOOD We didn't eat in the hotel so can't comment on the food here but there are loads of restaurants to choose from that are easily accessible. ROOMS Nice sized rooms for a family of 4. The kids beds are two single beds so fine for older children. One of them is on the floor (trundle from under the sofa) but it's a proper mattress so comfort is still good. Shower annoyingly leaked all over the bathroom every night so we just had to put a towel down. POOL AREAS & ENTERTAINMENT There is one large pool that has a dome in - all children enjoyed this. They also have a daily activity, such as water polo or water basket, that was particularly enjoyed by my 15 year old son. We always managed to get sunbeds whatever time we went to the pool. BEACH There is a nice beach accessible down lots of steps, or a longer route down a road is available for prams. I wouldn't go back again because I never like to go to the same place twice, however if you wanted to visit Palma Nova I would recommend this hotel and I would definitely stay at a Zafiro again.

We stayed a 1 month ago at the Zafiro Palmanova and have to say it was a great experience. Everything was just perfect - service & atmosphere, food & drinks. A great hotel with friendliest staff from lobby to kitchen - receptionist Maria(always with charming smile), waiter Jose, restaurant supervisor Tete, , lifeguard Guis always cheerful, clients oriented and ready to assist. Definitely they make this beautiful place simply unforgettable. You should be proud of your team! Once again, thank you for making outstanding treatment with the style and smile.
