Palma de Mallorca Hotel Tips by Tricky_Dicky69

Costa Azul: Great location on Paseo Maritimo. Costa Azul Review

We stayed for 3 nights at the end of September, 2004 and had a good time. Rooms are fairly basic but good value for money. They are of a good size and very clean. Pool is good and the sun terrace has a nice view of the cathedral and the harbour. All the staff were very friendly and helpful. Rooms with a sea view on a high floor are best. ( 806 or 811 ) There is some noise from the main road between the hotel and the harbour but this can be blocked out by shutting the patio doors. All rooms have air-con. Bus number 1 from the airport runs right past the door so don't bother with a taxi as the fare is really cheap.

Unique Qualities: Views from our balcony were fab and we loved to sit and relax for an hour or two in the late afternoon while reading, drinking and watching the activity in the harbour below. Buffet breakfast was good but busy so best to get down earlyish. Bar prices in the hotel were surprisingly cheap with friendly service. We got into the habit of dropping into the hotel bar for coffee & Cointreau's after a night out. If you like indian food don't miss the Baisakhi next-door to the hotel. It has a set menu with unlimited red wine for Euro 28.00. The food was superb.
We will be back.
