Advantages: Well presented, friendly, welcoming, modern Disadvantages: On a back street
We visted the Hotel Armadams for our honeymoon back in October 2006 for a short break to take in the sights and sounds of Palma.
It is situated one "block" away from the main promenade in Palma, a road lined on one side with bars, hotels, shops and the marina and harbour area on the other.
I am not a great Spanish speaker, infact I know only the most basic of phrases to muddle through, but the staff were very understanding and very helpful, even though we weren't checking in until really late following a delayed flight.
The room was exceptional. Clean crisp tiled floors beautufully airy which really made a good first impression.
We had a view looking out at the flats opposite, but a sneaky view between the buildings to the goregous marina opposite.
Features of the room were also impressive, with a mini bar, television ...
Advantages: Great Location, Cheaper than hotels. Disadvantages: The steps maybe...Nothing major at all!
When planning our 7 week stay in Mallorca this summer my girlfriend and I were trawling the Net looking for affordable accomodation. The search eventually threw up the Hostel Terramar in the Placa Mediterraneo just off Palma's posh Paseo Maritimo.
On one side of the Paseo Maritimo is the harbour with some of Europe's smartest yachts while the other side is home to some of Mallorca's smartest restaurants, bars, hotels and people.
In the report I aim to tell you about the hostel itself, the prices, the staff and a little about the surrounding area and attractions.
The hostel has something to suit all needs including the cheapest rooms dormitory style (5 beds to a room), budget rooms (single or twin), en-suite rooms (single, double or even triple) and even 6 1-bed apartments.
We were staying in Palma for 5 weeks while my ...
Advantages: Lots to see, interesting sites mixed in with shopping, so you get both Disadvantages: Easy to get lost in Arab Quarter
Palma on the Island of Majorca is a great place for shopping and doing a bit of sight seeing.
We were staying in Palma Nova and being past the age when drinking all day in pubs and clubs, then flaking out on the beach seems a good way to spend a holiday, decided to find some 'civilized' life for a change.
There are buses from all round the Island into Palma. The City itself is big. Everything is so spread out in the modern part and we found ourselves walking a long way to find major department stores and designer shops on the main road. However, we eventually found a wonderful shopping area in the old Arab Quarter of the City.
This area is a maze of alleyways and small shops of all kinds. There are designer shops selling everything from shoes to hair accessories and woolly jumpers to delicate lingerie. It is very easy to get ...
