    Great hotel for the price

    rating24 May 2026

    We have just returned from a short break with a 7 year old girl, the hotel is great, clean and tidy but the shining star is the animation team, particularly Jan who has only been there for 1 week. Although food was quite basic it was tasty and fresh and more than adequate for the price you pay. Icelollys and ice creams.Entertainment wasn’t the best but good enough. My only negative comment would be the lack of toilets, with the toilet blocks only having 1 of each (male and female) so although not too bad for us, as the kids broke up from school it got very chaotic ok our last day. But for our first ‘cheap’ all inclusive holiday it was above expectation! Juan Bover Cánaves, Director General at Gavimar Ariel Chico Club & Resort, responded to this review Dear Guest,Thank you for choosing our hotel and for taking the time to share your review. We are so pleased to read that your first all inclusive family holiday exceeded your expectations and that you found the hotel clean, tidy and great value for money.It is especially wonderful to hear your kind words about our animation team, and particularly Jan. We will be very happy to pass on your compliments — receiving such positive feedback after only one week with us will mean a great deal. We are delighted that your daughter enjoyed the atmosphere and activities during your stay.We are also glad that you enjoyed the fresh and tasty food selection, as well as the ice creams and little treats available throughout the day. Our food is enjoyed by many guests; we understand preferences vary and we are always working to offer a varied and enjoyable experience for all our visitors.Thank you as well for mentioning the entertainment and your comments regarding the toilet facilities during the busier period of your stay. During peak seasons we do tend to welcome more guests and we appreciate your understanding as the hotel became livelier towards the school holiday period.It was a pleasure to welcome your family to Mallorca and we hope to see you again soon for another sunny and enjoyable holiday.Best Wishes, all the team at Gavimar Ariel Chico Hotel

    My son nearly died due to negligence from kitchen staff!

    rating16 May 2026

    This is a very difficult review for me to write as my family are still struggling 11 months on from an incident that happened at this hotel.We visited in July last year which was our second visit after previously staying in 2024.We chose it for its location as its centrally based, but more importantly we chose it as I’d read other reviews saying the chef and kitchen staff were great looking after people with food allergies (cooking food separate etc)The first year was great, we met Julian the head of house and Fernando the chef who looked after my 8 year old son, made sure he always had something to eat, whether that be chicken and chips, a beef burger etc, they even gave him some jelly which he loved)So of course we had no hesitation returning last year and putting our trust in the kitchen team once again.However on our second night of our 14 day holiday we nearly lost our son to a severe allergic reaction where he had a anaphylactic reaction and was rushed to hospital.Fernando the chef had offered to make Frankie a pancake, we asked what was in it and he explained there was no allergens, but within a couple of mouthfuls, our son had stomach ache, was sleepy as his oxygen levels dropped and then he was being sick.We had to inject his EpiPen into him whilst calling for an ambulance.The police arrived as well and Fernando shrugged his shoulders as to what had happened but in all the panic before they and the ambulance arrived, he told us he had given our sons pancake mixture to chef Ali to cook it unbeknown to us, it was cooked on a communal hot plate where only earlier in the evening, eggs, pancakes with wheat in etc had all been cooked on!The food had been severely cross contaminated and we could have lost our son due to this negligence.We put our trust in Fernando to cook his food separately as he has always done before and If we had known otherwise, of course we wouldn’t have let our son have a single bite of that pancake.The blame was then put on some caramel sauce that my son had put on his pancake as it said may contain on the label.(Pretty much every food item you get these days will say the same thing)We returned home broken as a family and struggling to make sense of it all, but determined to find out and prove what had happened was gross negligence on the hotels part.We brought the caramel sauce home with us and paid privately to have our son tested against it to rule it out.No surprise to see he was absolutely fine!It was cross contamination that caused his reaction and nothing else.I emailed the hotel to say I wanted a thorough investigation as I didn’t want another child or family to go through what we went through that night.At first the hotel were transparent and sent a list of the ingredients that were in the pancake (all things my son was allowed to have)They said that Fernando was the sole person that cooked his food and it was always cooked separately, however due to personal reasons he now no longer works at the hotel.Convinient timing hey.I explained that Fernando told us that night that Chef Ali cooked the food that night and it wasn’t in fact cooked separately and instead on the communal hot plate.Since then not one response.They know they made a massive mistake and of course as a company they don’t want to admit it.This wasn’t about compensation before anyone thinks this way, this is a hotel we loved, the staff were great and we wanted to return.But the only way we could ever do this, is if the hotel admitted there mistake, assured it would never happen again, and took some accountability!Of course they never did and they never will.The impact on our family 11 months on, is that sadly we could never stay in a hotel abroad after this incident, it’s just scarred us as a family.My wife suffered ptsd as a result of it,My son the same.He cried on and off after school for months about being different and his allergies, Said he feels weak and when he talks about the only fear he has in life, it’s the fear of something happening to him due to his allergies.I now have a broken little boy due to this incident.Gavimar you are to blame for this,I hope someone reads this and you understand what you’ve done to us as a family and you never allow anything like this to happen in one of your hotels again. Juan Bover Cánaves, Director General at Gavimar Ariel Chico Club & Resort, responded to this review Dear Paul,Thank you for choosing our hotel once again and for taking the time to share your experience.Please be assured that the wellbeing and comfort of our guests is always extremely important to us, and all comments shared with us are treated with the utmost seriousness, care and sensitivity. We were very saddened to read about the difficult situation your family went through during your stay, and we truly regret the distress this has caused you all in the months since your visit. We can only imagine how emotional and challenging this experience has been for your son and your family.We also genuinely appreciate the trust your family placed in our team over your visits, as well as your kind words regarding members of our staff who previously helped make your stays comfortable and enjoyable.Given the sensitive nature of the matter, we believe it is most appropriate to continue any further communication privately and directly.We sincerely wish your son and your family all the very best moving forward.Best Wishes, all the team at Gavimar Ariel Chico

    Injured from slipping on wet floor and rude staff!

    rating07 May 2026

    Booked this holiday through Jet2 as a celebration for my 30th however we ended up being extremely disappointed in the stay.One of the main issues was the injury sustained from slipping on a wet floor that had zero wet floor sign. Went to go to the toilets in block H as these were nearest bar area. I went up to the door and noticed cleaner was in, the floor was soaked with soapy water so I turned around to go to my room toilet. As I was walking away, I slipped and landed flat on my face and hurt my knee quite badly. The cleaner came running to see if I was ok and low and behold, once I’d been up to my room toilet and came back down, there was a wet floor sign on display which very clearly wasn’t there before. Luckily I just hurt my knee and dignity, but if this had been someone older, I dread to think of the outcome!The room we booked through the jet2 website advertised a lovely spacious balcony room. The balcony was one of the main reasons we booked this room so we were disappointed when we arrived and it was a stone wall. This meant when you sat down you were staying at the balcony and couldn’t see over, was almost prison like. It was nothing like the image advertised which showed a balcony with bar-like structures that let in light/a view.The food was questionable. We watched as kids ran about poking their fingers in things and dropping utensils on the floor then putting them back in the food. The food was also always like warm and never hot. Coffee machines always broken.The other main disappointment was how rude the staff were. After going to reception to tell them about slipping on the wet floor, I said they’d get a good laugh on the cctv however I’d fallen and hurt myself quite badly. The 3 members of staff just laughed. Quite shocking to be honest.Another interaction with a member of the bar staff disappointed me also. I noticed the ice cream fridge was open slightly while standing by the popcorn machine so I went to slide it shut. The bar staff turned and said in a rude and aggressive manner that all inclusive had finished. I was literally doing them a favour and shutting it so the ice cream didn’t melt yet I was spoke to like rubbish.Generally disappointing trip that was supposed to be a nice time away for a big birthday.

    rating06 May 2026

    We stayed for five days and had a great experience. The location was perfect — only five minutes from the beach, which made everything very convenient. The hotel was also constantly being cleaned, and everything was always spotless and well maintained throughout our stay, which we really appreciated. The entertainment team, especially Tamy and David, were exceptional and truly stood out during our stay. They are multilingual, incredibly friendly, and you can genuinely tell they love what they do. Their energy and enthusiasm created such a welcoming atmosphere and really made the hotel feel special. They are a huge asset to the hotel and definitely one of the main reasons we would love to come back. Juan Bover Cánaves, Director General at Gavimar Ariel Chico Club & Resort, responded to this review Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with us! We’re so pleased to hear that you enjoyed the perfect location, the cleanliness of the hotel, and the exceptional service from our entertainment team, especially Tamy and David. Their passion and energy are truly infectious, and we're thrilled they made such a positive impact on your stay. We look forward to welcoming you back for another great visit.Best Wishes, all the team at Gavimar Ariel Chico Hotel
