Reviews from Google“Our favourite place in the world. We have stayed here once a year with maybe the occasional year missed since 2003. We have been on our own, and with our children. This time it was just the two of us as a couple. The team here really are like perfect family members looking after everybody including what they need and really connecting at a person level. We feel we are treated very specially as we have been so many times and observe that actually new guests are treated equally well. Everything is done to a very high level, higher than is reasonable to expect even for a 5 star hotel.”
“Beautiful property and facilities, great service. However, not worth the price when there are so many other luxury hotels in Mallorca which are just as good (if not even better). The tennis court was really fun though, and miro has a great view. The price just doesn’t make sense for what you get though.”
“Enjoyed our recent stay at the Belmond. Beautiful property in the cutest little town. We had a small issue with our luggage but Xavi went above and beyond to rectify the situation. We also really enjoyed our waitress Eva. She was so friendly and amazing. We ate lunch at the restaurant by the pool and I highly recommend the club sandwich. One of the best things I ate on my trip. Lots of special touches including a welcome bottle of wine and logo hats. Will definitely be back.”
“I could not say more great things about La Residencia. Truly a luxury experience with fantastic service. They made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived — the service was 10/10. I would recommend this property to anyone. From the boat trip to the donkey tour everything was divine. We will be back!”
“We loved our stay at La Residencia. The service was incredible and the sprawling property has lots of amenities. The concierge was a true highlight, as was the breakfast and access to the Miro bar at night. Two things that were inconsistent with the otherwise five-star service we received. We had a miscommunication with the spa when a masseuse cancelled last minute that caused us a rather hefty charge that we felt was unfair. We also did the sunset boat cruise, which we were assured would be nice despite cloudy/windy weather that afternoon…..as you can imagine it was quite a choppy ride! Wish they had just cancelled instead of going forward with the ride just to make some euros.”
