Stayed on the occasion of an official visit during a Friday and a Saturday night in one of their mini suites. I agree with previous reviewers that front facing rooms offer a stunning view of the harbour and of the magnificent cathedral. The hotel is also very easily accessible by taxi from the airport. However, I disagree wholeheartedly about the... more

Having revisited this hotel after an absence of 21 years, I am happy to endorse what others have said about the prime location, breathtaking view from seafacing room balconies, fantastic buffet breakfast, friendly and helpful staff, decent sized rooms with comfortable beds and excellent housekeeping which more than compensates for the slightly tired room decor. In short, a hotel that... more

We stayed in the Melia Palas Atenea 17 - 22 October and booked through xscapewithus.com. Previous reviews on TripAdvisor pointed us towards the Melia and we were not disappointed. Check-in was quick and welcoming and our bags were in our room before us. The lifts seem to attract a lot of comment in other reviews but we found them really... more

Friendly check-in (HUGE reception area!) . The room was of a good size, if a little dated and in need of a bit of a refurb, however the fantastic view of the harbour and cathedral more than made up for this. Cleanliness was excellent throughout the hotel. Breakfast was just about the best I have experienced anywhere in the world... more

We visited Palma for a 3 night break and usually stay in the much pricier Portixol, however, seeing the great reviews on this site and having gone on a recce to the hotel during our last stay at Portixol in May this year, we were very pleased we had given it a try this time. We were a bit sceptical... more

This hotel is excellent. Great room, fantastic view of the bay looking over to the cathedral. Breakfast was very impressive, as was all the interior of the hotel. The staff were all pleasant and efficient. The pool area as lovely. I would certainly return. more

Wanting to escape from our exceptionally bad summer decided on a long weekend in the sun. Wanting a combined city and beach break, decided on Palma which proved ideal and chose this hotel mainly for the breakfast reviews!The buffet did not disappoint-even tried some Mallorcan specialities-hmm not sure little meat pies are really my thing. Seriously though, there was absolutely... more

Stayed at the Melia Palas Atenea for a few days in September 2007. It is a really nice hotel and, as other reviewers have commented, it is well worth paying the extra for a room with a sea view. The rooms are above average size with a seating area and a good balcony overlooking the pool and the bay. The... more

Just returned from the Palas Atenea, booked a front sea & catherdral view, we were on the 6th floor and had a fabulous view, the cathedral is lit up at night, perfect for sitting on the balcony with a bottle of Cava. Staff very friendly, rooms clean and nicely furnished if a bit dated. Good selection of restaurants close by,... more
