Very enjoyable holiday
We've just enjoyed an excellent stay at Playa Garden on an all-inclusive basis. The location is fantastic with direct access to a beautiful beach. We booked a room with outdoor hydro pool which was very enjoyable.
All facilities are great. Food and drinks very enjoyable, with amazing service in the dining room, every visit was good. Credit to Marce and his team, they work so hard to ensure a good experience and meal. Marce manages the dining room excellently, a real professional, even when some people have high expectations! Thanks for making our experience lovely.
Would recommend the hotel for families.
an unpleasant surprise
Overall, we had a mixed experience at this hotel.
The rooms are in need of renovation. The furniture is quite worn and outdated, the windows do not close properly, and we experienced an air conditioning failure during our stay. Another downside, especially for families with young children, is the bathroom design. The bathroom has sliding glass doors, which provide very little privacy and are not particularly practical when traveling with small children.
The food was average. There was enough variety, but the quality and taste were nothing special. The entertainment program was also rather disappointing. Most of the activities and evening shows were conducted mainly in German and Spanish, making it difficult for international guests to fully enjoy them.
On the positive side, the children's splash pool is very attractive and our kids loved it. However, the water was quite cold in the mornings and again in the late afternoon, so they could not enjoy it for very long.
Overall, the hotel has some good facilities, especially for families, but there are several areas that need improvement to justify its rating.
During our stay in June, there was a massive influx of seaweed along the hotel's beachfront. Unfortunately, this meant we were unable to use the beach or enjoy the hotel's direct access to the sea at all.
For our children, the unexpected "morning entertainment" was watching an excavator working from 6:00 a.m. until around 10:00 a.m., collecting the dried seaweed into enormous piles along the beach. While this was fascinating for them, it certainly wasn't the beach holiday we had expected.
We fully understand that the hotel cannot control nature, the tides, or the condition of the sea. However, it would have been appreciated if guests had been informed about the situation during check-in. It would also have been a thoughtful gesture to organize a shuttle service or recommend a nearby beach with better swimming conditions, especially for families with young children.
Instead, the lack of communication, the absence of any alternative solution, and the apparent lack of initiative from the hotel staff made this a very disappointing surprise.

Average resort good for German families with small kids
Playa Garden may work well for German families with very young children, but it was not the right fit for us. The hotel has the feeling of a large kids’ resort, almost like a German kindergarten, with many families with small children.
The rooms are quite tired and would benefit from renovation. The food was acceptable, but not very exciting. Considering the price, I expected a fresher property. The staff is very attentive and evening shows are well performed.
Overall, I would recommend it mainly to German-speaking families with small kids. For other travelers, I think there are better choices in Mallorca at this price point.

Its our second time and we love it
The location is beautiful although the beach was covered with poseidonia. Other aspects were great, food people and rooms amazing.
Easily improved
Lovely hotel areas in a lovely setting. 2 pools Plenty of organised activities. Large room; aircon worked. But. First meal was breakfast all the 'hot' food was cold. Evening dinners the same unless you caught something straight off the griddle. Repetitive themed dinners, very little 'plain' food. Apart from a couple of nights the entertainment was very poor. Meals and entertainment repeat after a week so our 2nd week was a repeat of the not-so-good. Daily at lunch time loud thump thump music is played for about an hour shattering outdoor/poolside tranquility. Always lifeguards on duty but from their post only half the main pool could be seen. WiFi goes off for hours each day. Shame: the basics are there and easily improved. Disappointed.
