Inturotel Sa Marina

My partner and I stayed at the Sa Marina for a week via Jet2 holidays. We have stayed here before in 2022 and had such a brilliant time we wanted to visit there again. I emailed the hotel prior to our arrival to ask if it was possible to have a quiet room on the top floor of our one bedroom garden view room. The hotel replied they would try their best but could not guarantee it. We were allocated room 3310 and it was exactly what we hoped for. The rooms in the garden block 3 are all extremely well soundproofed and you literally cannot hear your neighbours or noise outside your room. The beds were very comfortable as were the pillows. The kitchen well equipped, the fridge seemed fairly new and the air conditioning quiet and efficient. It was extremely hot the week we stayed and although the thermostat cannot be set lower than 22 degrees, it kept the rooms at a very comfortable temperature both day and night. Since our last stay, they have cleared space in the gardens to accommodate very comfortable loungers and Bali beds and we used these every day. The hotel was full to capacity and there were many families staying (w/c 13th July) and this made the pool sun beds very popular but we could always find a vacant sun bed in the garden area. The only problem with this area was that the ground covering was small stones and it was very uncomfortable to walk on it with bare feet. The staff were always friendly and helpful and a pleasure to meet, especially Ana at the pool bar who was a delight. The draught beer was always nice and cold and at €5.10 was very reasonable. We only had one meal there of a burger and fries and Thai curry and I’d compare it to what you’d get at a Wetherspoons. It was okay but we didn’t eat there again. However, they had various ice creams at €5 a tub which were delicious. We had a late flight home and checkout is 11am and the bus didn’t pick us up until 7.30pm and so we spent the day on the garden sun loungers. When we went to retrieve our cases from reception to get changed, the receptionist asked if we’d like to use the showers in the spa and gave us towels to use as well. We didn’t expect this and we were so grateful to be able to shower and get dressed before going home. Elsewhere, you might have to ask for a late check out room to do this. Overall, we were glad to see the hotel still has such high standards and can recommend it to anyone who wants a good holiday experience.

Unbelievable location, so close to everything. Hotel is spotless, housekeeping every day and no hassles with changing towels for room or pool. Room was basic, two kids on sofa beds. Very basic cooking opportunities but we only prepared food here for breakfast and lunch and are out at the nearby restaurants every night. Only one of the electric rings worked. Loved that there was water dispenser near reception. We only ate at the snack bar once, tasty but expensive. Staff in reception were lovely. Only one thing that I didn't like to see was that the lifeguards at the pool were barely watching. They sat with one earphone in and watched their phone the entire time. From where they sat, it wasn't possible to see the whole pool and they didn't get up to walk around the pool at all. This is very different to my experience of lifeguards at other hotels where phones would not be allowed. Overall a very good experience.

This is a gorgeous clean hotel. Just back from 10nights self catering here. It was a lovely break but a couple of things to be aware of before you go/book.

Rooms: The four of us stayed in two garden view rooms next to each other (myself and my husband in one room, 16 yr old & 19yr old in the other) and they were clean, spacious, good air con and lovely balcony (not overlooked - bare this in mind when choosing your room at booking - the pool views were a bit exposed. Didn’t notice the road view ones). Small kitchen but we ate out so only used it for snacks and drinks - perfect. My only complaint of the room was that it’s not 100% sound proof but it didn’t ruin it.

Location: fab for dinner in the marina, dinner/drinks in the main area & walkable to several beaches. Bus stop outside is great for a direct bus to Palma and also the National Park - which is gorgeous. Several supermarkets close by, shops, bakeries and coffee shops places.

Pool: this is the main reason my rating isn’t a 5 - slightly disappointed with the pool in that after reading the reviews from last year that no inflatables are allowed they are indeed allowed and you sometimes can’t move for floats !!!! I think depending on when you go the sun bed situation will differ. The first half of our stay was much quieter and it was easy to get beds at any time, there was no saving going on either. The latter part of our stay that changed and people were getting down early, laying towels and reserving. Always hard to manage this for a hotel but there was literally nothing being done about it. My tip would be the pool that isn’t next to the pool bar is a more relaxed vibe, still loads of inflatables but it’s not as deep so less jumping in and out going on.

The food in the pool bar is really good and great service - possibly pricier than other places nearby but nice for a quick bite on the first day and drinks in comfy deck chairs late afternoon.

The staff were all lovely and so helpful. The hotel grounds are looked after impeccably, it’s kept beautifully.

I would really recommend.
