    Charming, arty and a lot of class

    rating25 Apr 2026

    Visited at a quiet time in April….. can’t fault the hotel, genuinely beautiful, stunning art everywhere you look, views out to the sea and the city of Palma are a pleasant backdrop.Gym great, we don’t use the spa but looked nice.Breakfast as good as any hotel didn’t use the restaurant but ate at the roof terrace once, no complaints!As with most high end hotels, it’s the level of attention from the staff which sets it apart… every interaction was pleasant… the manager arranged a cocktail evening to meet the guests which was a lovely touch..The morning yoga was a refreshing start to the day and the instructor was excellent Old world charm, beautiful decor and both our room and the pool area were a pleasure to enjoy. Thankyou hotel Castillo Son Vida for such a lovely visit.

    Definitely not a 5 star experience

    rating12 Apr 2026

    Pretty hotel, but definitely not a 5 star experience. Was not informed ahead of our stay (or even at check-in) that the hotel was undergoing a large, loud renovation project during our stay. No apology for inconvenience, note on website or offer of discount was given. We paid extra for a balcony that we couldn’t use because the outdoor renovations were directly in front of our room and banging hammers, and buzz saws were constantly going and piles of discarded carpeting & construction mess were obstructing our view. Not worth the price we paid. Very disappointing stay. Ramon Ballester, Guest Services / Front Office at Castillo Hotel Son Vida, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Mallorca, responded to this review Dear EmptyNest0603,Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We sincerely apologize for the disruption caused by the renovation project during your stay and for the lack of communication regarding this matter. It is disappointing to hear that this impacted your ability to enjoy the balcony and the view. Your feedback regarding the noise and construction mess is deeply concerning, and we regret that your visit fell below your expectations. We greatly appreciate you bringing this to our attention, as it helps us understand areas where improvements are needed.We very much hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back in the future, under much more pleasant and peaceful circumstances, and to provide you with the relaxing and enjoyable stay you rightfully expected.Kind regards,With our best regards Ramon Ballester BalaguerGuest Experience Manager

    4 Star Marriott Property in Castle

    rating01 Feb 2026

    First, this is a Marriott property and you can get all the Marriott credits. Second, it is by all measures a 4 star hotel. No where no how can this ever be 5 star. The hotel is neglected old Castle. There is charm in being in a Castle. The Son Vidas area is considered private and upscale and many rooms offer nice pastoral, golf course and ocean views. The spa is coed , clothing is optional and May guests are naked. This may not be comfortable for some travelers. In fact, nudity even extends to the pool and spa. To each his/her own. The breakfast is very limited. Think travel lodge that’s 2-3 star. There are no fresh juices. The bar food did not agree with me and dinner at the restaurant was very limited. There are many older German guests and some asian guests. The staff are generally polite. Amanda Fernandez, Guest Services / Front Office at Castillo Hotel Son Vida, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Mallorca, responded to this review Dear Mr. Vanetik,First of all, thank you for taking the time to complete the Guest Satisfaction Survey in regards to your recent stay at the Castillo Hotel Son Vida, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Mallorca. It is great to hear you appreciated the charm of staying in our beloved property and enjoyed our scenic views. Additionally, we note your recognition of the polite staff and the benefits of Marriott credits as part of your experience.We understand your observations regarding the condition of the property, the breakfast selection, and the dining experience. With regard to the spa and pool areas, we would like to clarify that, in accordance with our hotel policy, nudity is not permitted, and we sincerely regret any confusion this may have caused.As a valued Silver Elite Member, we hope you choose to stay with us whenever your travels bring you back to Mallorca. Warmest Regards,AMANDA FERNÁNDEZAssistant Front Office Manager
