HOTELS

Sorry to be slow replying - the usual chaos on return from a great holiday- we need another! Both hotels were great and we’d highly recommend them even if that puts us in competition for reservations. Thanks for all your patience and help sorting the holiday, if you can cope we’ll be back….

The second hotel Son Mas

Service: excellent, a very personal service

Food: menu adjusted to meet our needs, excellent dishes

Cleanliness: faultless

Value for money: given the environment and service it is value for money

Sleep quality: lovely room in quiet environment, what more could be asked?

First time here and we will certainly return. Superb pool in lovely setting, large grounds and easy access to the coast and smaller villages - we avoided Porto Cristo…

The first hotel Son Barbassa: 

Service: friendly, efficient and prompt, nothing was too much trouble

Food: extensive menu and, as before, accommodated our requirements without a problem

Cleanliness: faultless

Value for money: as the experience was so good it was worth every penny/euro

Sleep quality: complete silence at Dalt so the excellent room facilitated restful sleep

Our third stay at Son Barbassa and every bit as good as the previous holidays. It is well placed to see that part of the island and incredibly relaxing if you just spend time around the pool.

Afternoon Henrik.

Hope you’re well?

We had a wonderful stay at Son Mas last week.

Just the ticket Peaceful and relaxing.

We would like to go back late September.

Which hotels have heated pools this time of year? As the pool at Son Mas was perfect.

Kind regards

Thank you for your email and apologies for the delay in replying as things have been hectic since arriving home.

Thank you also for kindly arranging for a complimentary meal which is much appreciated.

Here is a review as requested for the two locations:

Son Mas
Service 5
Food 5
Cleanliness 5
Value for money 4
Sleep quality 5

This is a beautiful Finca close to Porto Cristo ( a taxi easily arranged by the hotel is 10 Euros)

The nearby beaches are very busy but pretty and the water is beautiful so it’s worth a visit early in the morning when parking is easy.

We would then return to the pool to while away the afternoon.

The pool is lovely with good comfortable sunbeds which are nicely separated.

There is only one outdoor pool which can be a problem if young children are present which we found although families don’t tend to spend the whole day by the pool so you do get peaceful times.

The dining area is beautiful and the service was very attentive. The breakfast is excellent although the coffee is very strong and not to our taste although this is obviously a personal preference.


Son Gener

Service 5
Food 4/5
Cleanliness 5
Value for money 4
Sleep quality 5

This is our second stay and it was just as good as our first stay. The property is stunning.

There are two outdoor pools so no problem if there are children. In any case there are so many beautiful places to sit and enjoy the beautiful surroundings.

I hope this is useful and thanks again for finding these wonderful places.

We had a fabulous week, thank you.

You recommendations were greatly appreciated. 
Arta and Capdepera were gorgeous. We had a fantastic meal at The Parisian Cafe. We tried Sa Gripia on another evening but they were fully booked. Nou Segra had fabulous vegetarian tapas dishes. 

Son Mas is a wonderful hotel with just the most amazing staff. A real asset. Nothing was too much trouble for anybody. Due to our flight being delayed leaving the UK, we arrived a lot later than expected. This was no problem at all, the staff were waiting for us  when we arrived and served us our dinner. Just amazing!

I would rate service, food, cleanliness, value for money and sleep quality as 5.
We could not fault anything!

We would definitely recommend the hotel to friends but, selfishly, don't want to, purely because I don't want too many people to know about it. 

We will definitely go back to Son Mas, it's just perfect for us. 

Thank you so much for all your help Henrik.

Best wishes

Hello Henrik

Thank you for your help in arranging the mini-break with my mother.  It was a glorious short few days, only marred by a 4 ½ flight delay on the way home.  We enjoyed our stay at Son Mas, it was a rural idyll, and would rate it as follows :

Service: 5 - lovely, genial staff
Food: 3 - portions far too big at dinner and quality of the cooking not great (ie our monkfish was overcooked by about 10 minutes).  Would also be nice to have local olive oil for the tables, rather than a bottle of cheap stuff from the supermarket.  Small touches can make a big difference to the overall feel of a place.  The breakfast offerings/lay out also felt like we were in a corporate/business hotel, rather than a luxury retreat.
Cleanliness: 5 - the whole place was immaculate
Value for money: 4 (only because the food wasn't up to scratch)
Sleep quality: 5 - so peaceful

Hope this is helpful.  Have a lovely summer.

Best wishes

Hi Henrik,

Very late I know, but  I wanted to thank you for your expert advice.  We had looked at several websites and options for our family of 5 and came across your website by chance.  Your choices were just what we needed for our family to recharge our batteries.  We’d never been to Mallorca before, but it is certainly on our list to revisit.

Cas Sant in Soller is a gem and a little oasis in a wonderful town, and Son Mas was a bit of stunning luxury to end our stay on.  I’d be delighted to (and have been) recommending you.

Again, many thanks and hopefully we’ll be in touch again for our next trip.

JR 09/22

Hi Henrik,

Just a quick note to thank you so much for all your help with our mini break to Majorca - Son Mas was exactly what we were looking for and we could not fault the service or facilities there.

Thank you again for helping with the last minute change on the transfer booking to the hotel, the local taxis sorted us out perfectly.

All being well we will be back to Majorca again next year so will be in touch nearer the time as to whether we go back to Son Mas or try another of your recommendations.

Kind regards,

AB 09/22

HI Henrik

We had a lovely time at Son Mas thank you and I would recommend this hotel to a friend.  The positives were the hotel itself - lovely rooms and common areas and gorgeous courtyard terrace for dining.  The pool was exceptionally nice and situated in a very peaceful place with plenty of space for shade and sun.  I would go back just for the pool.  The food was really good, very little choice but that is fine as all was cooked fresh on the day.  The service for meals was also excellent  - efficient, happy and smiling staff and everyone very helpful.   it was an exceptionally peaceful spot but a 15 minute drive to anywhere if you were looking for other restaurants or shops so not perhaps for someone looking for a bit more animation.

The only downside was that the hotel had no information about what to do in the area, the management and reception did not seem to be there all the time or not on view if they were (very pleasant when you did find someone) and even on arrival we had to look to find out where to go to find a check in desk.  

Having said that we would go back and were very happy there  so 
Service -3 (because some was great and other a bit non existant)
Foodt  - 4/5
Cleanliness - 5
Value for money - 4
Sleep quality - 5.

Kind regards

Dear Henrik,
We had a lovely holiday on Mallorca thank you, although my wife went down with food poisoning for the last three days.
Our reviews:
Son Mas: Service: 5, Food: 4, Cleanliness: 5 , Value for money: 5, Sleep quality:5
Son Gener: Service: 4, Food: 4, Cleanliness: 5, Value for money: 5, Sleep quality: 4
We love the quiet and privacy at Son Mas, and the pool. The food is good and the service excellent. This was our second visit and if anything it was even better this time. Son Gener has lovely grounds and wonderful views but we felt was slightly less private. The food was very good but the meal service was a little short of reaching a high standard.. Our room was close to (above) the kitchen and above the main dining terrace and we suffered some noise disturbance because of this.
Kind regards

Happy to respond and I have already recommended you and the hotel! Great hotel conveniently located for Palma. Excellent oasis of peace and quiet in a wonderfully rural setting, staff that you would like to recruit to your own business. Great facilities including a superb swimming pool. Menorca next year!  How would you rate the following from 1-5 where 5 is the best rating: Service: 5, Food: 5, Cleanliness: 5, Value for money: 5, Sleep quality: 5

Hi Henrik, Thanks for your email. Son Mas was simply one of the best hotels I have stayed at. The hotel is an oasis of calm in Mallorca. The setting is beautiful with stunning views towards the coast and the surrounding hills. From our room we could see even see the sea. Staff were friendly and helpful without ever being intrusive. The hotel also helpfully ensured I had a ground floor room with easy access for a wheelchair (I unfortunately broke my leg a few weeks before my trip). The restaurant was so good we ate there every night of our stay other than the Tuesday evening when it is closed. Breakfast and lunch were also excellent and any requests for something not on the menu were not a problem. Our 12 year old daughter was also looked after in terms of her requests. We will definitely be in touch and will consider another stay at Son Mas or one of the other hotels on the website. Thanks again for your help. Kindest Regards   How would you rate the following from 1-5 where 5 is the best rating:  Service: 5 Food: 5 Cleanliness: 5 Value for money: 4 Sleep quality: 5 Would you recommend the hotel to a friend?  Yes - My only reservation in making a recommendation would be I want to keep Son Mas for myself.

Apologies for my delay in responding to you Henrik!! As requested, please see below my comments, I hope they help! This was just what we all wanted from our holiday, peace, tranquility, lovely food and great service.  Quite pricey, however, a very understated and unpretentious environment and nothing was too much trouble for anyone.  The food was excellent and extremly reasonably priced.  More information on how the "bar" works would have been useful and how you go about getting a drink during the day. Also information about drinks and towels by the pool, we had to find this out by following another guest!  Last 2 points are not meant to be negataive, maybe more constructive.  A lovely place and we'd love to return one day.  Thank you very much. How would you rate the following from 1-5 where 5 is the best rating:  Service: 5, Food: 4, Cleanliness: 5, Value for money: 3, Sleep quality: 4 Would you recommend the hotel to a friend? Yes.

Our reception at Son Mas was efficient and very welcoming. The room ( #1) was perfect for us with every amenity we might have needed. Every member of staff was professional and friendly.  The Son Mas property is exquisite , beautifully designed and constructed , peaceful and with  a wonderful pool .

Please see below. Having declined satnav at the airport we had some difficulty in finding Son Mas . It might be helpful to your clients to direct them from Manacor towards Portocristo then take the Portocolom road, looking out for the Son Mas sign after 2km or so.

Dear Henrik, Please find our feedback below. The hotel was located beautifully and the complex was very calm and the right place to go for a quiet break. Yet the service was far below expectations. As was the selection of food at breakfast and dinner. It was more a middle class hotel and not an exclusive retreat. Price was not at all reflected in value. We would not book it again unless service is improved or prices dropped.

Good morning only came back yesterday as we stayed with friends too. Our opinion is excellent in both hotels so in order as you placed it. Service: Excellent especially in Es Turo. Food: Excellent. Cleanliness: Very good Value for money. Quite expensive but worth it too. Sleep quality: Fantastic so calm. Son Mas: One of the most calmest places I have been to. The rooms were fantastic the food was excellent giving two fabulous choices if you stayed for an evening meal, staff superb too. Definately a place I would love to go back too. Thank you again and we will be back. Es Turo: Fantastic place with the most beautiful views. The food, service and staff wonderful. The only problem was finding the place they could do with a larger more coloured sign at the roundabout, but that was the only minus to our wonderful stay.  Do you have anywhere in Ibiza? We will look at Menorca too.

Hi Henrik,  Son Mas Rural, is a peaceful haven set in beautiful Majorcan countryside. It's not too far away from the beach and you can use the guest bikes to get there within 15 minutes or so. But why would you want too? Once you drive through the gates, step into the beautiful infinity pool and eat at the lovely courtyard  restaurant, you really don't want to go anywhere else, everything is just perfect. Be prepared to step outside at least once, or have a late lunch, as the wonderful kitchens close on a Tuesday evening. We are looking forward to our next visit already. Hope this is ok and thank you for all your help. Service 5 Food 5 love the ability to customise the choices & wonderful breakfast buffet. Cleanliness 5+++ Value for money 5 Sleep 5Definitely recommend to friends ( already have done)

Hi Henrik, We had a wonderful stay, we have booked again to go sept 2016!!!we rate 5. for all questions, we would recommend hotel to friends.  From the moment you arrive you feel totally relaxed, service is excellent and not intrusive, food fantastic and lovely staff, nothing is too much trouble. Perfect place for a relaxing holiday I may be going to Majorca in the spring too for a long weekend, looking for a luxury hotel in Palma. I'm taking my elderly mum away so hotel will have to be on the port and not too many steps..... Your help would be appreciated.... Thank you & kind regards

Hi Henrik, We had a lovely time thank you very much and really appreciated your assistance at such short notice. Service could have been better – probably only 2.5 Food - 3 Cleanliness – 5 Value for money – 3 Sleep quality - 4 Yes we’d recommend the hotel but to be honest we preferred Son Bernadinet, possibly because it was smaller but the service was more personal. The hotel is beautifully appointed and converted – a stylish and luxurious retreat. I’ll be in touch again next year for another recommendation!

KM 09/15

Dear Henrik, I was thinking just this morning about you and already want to send you an email to thank you for your reccomendations. We had a great time at Son Mas! W also met two lovely english that booked via your site. My rates are: service 4 food 5 cleanliness 5 value for money 5 sleep quality 5 I would surely recommend this hotel to a friend. My thoughts about the type of hotel/target are that this hotel suit mostly couples of small groups, while I do not see it as a real hotel for kids because when you go there you are looking for tranquillity and you do not wish to have dinner  togheter with loud kids. Also the service is very good, but not the fastest that lead to lovely slow dinners, but not really suitable for hungry children in my opinion of that. greetings,

Hi Henrik We had a lovely stay at Son Mas thank you. Ratings are: Service - 4 Food - 5 Cleanliness: 5 Value for money: 4 Sleep quality: 5 Beautiful setting for a relaxing holiday, with excellent food, spacious rooms and a fabulous pool.  The hotel staff  were friendly and courteous, but not always there to attend to additional needs... a little extra personal attention from time to time would be nice, e.g around the pool area or for ordering lunch / snacks /  treatments etc.  Other than that, faultless!! Thanks for recommending,  I'm sure we'll return one day.

Dear Henrik, We spent a very enjoyable 5 days at Son Mas and really liked the attractive house,so cleverly converted, and its peaceful surroundings. As you know we had requested a twin-bedded room but were given a rather dark double bedded room on our arrival and were disappointedly unable to change for two days. Naturally we were not very pleased about that. We were then moved into a much nicer twin-bedded room for the last 3 nights. The ratings that you ask for:- Service 3  - pleasant but rather slow. Reception 5 Food 4 Cleanliness 5 Value for money 4 Sleep quality 2 then 5  We would happily recommend the hotel to a friend if they were looking for total peace and quiet and attractive surroundings and wonderful swimming facilities - but not a lot to see nearby.Also like-minded quiet guests. Thank you for your help in finding Son Mas.We will certainly contact you if we are looking for somewhere similar in the future. Best wishes

Dear Henrik We are very happy with our stay in Mallorca  the three hotels that you recommended us are marvelous. CA’S XORX is perhaps more eceptionnel because it combines the natural setting of the mountain, the design sophistication, the quality of service and the excellent table FINCA SON MAS is also a magical place but we must accept the discretion of the service. the staff is very nice but not enough present. the catering service is to simple. our trip, north and south, allowed us a clear view of the island in its geographical complexity. In Palma, we enjoyed PALAU SA FONT. simpler, less expensive but good location and very nicely managed by a young team (excellent breakfast). therefore, everything is very positive for us and we thank you. for information, we had a wonderful cruise on a catamaran which allowed us to tour the island. thank you  sincerely yours

Hi Henrik, We had a lovely holiday.  I loved Son Mas, it was just how I imagined, although my husband would have liked to have stayed at two different hotels rather than the same one. We found many of the hidden beaches and restaurants you recommended and covered a lot of ground.  My only disappointment was the horse riding.  We went the day after a huge storm so apparently the horses were freaked out, but as beginners, I thought the horses were rather out of control and we didn't really get to see anything special except lots of really ferocious dogs behind compounds!!

Dear Henrik, We had a truly lovely stay at Hotel Son Mas and would rate everything 5. We would definitely recommend the hotel and return ourselves. The hotel was so charming – clean, comfortable, private and peaceful. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The staff were very pleasant and welcoming, and looked after us really well. The meals were all delicious. We enjoyed some spa treatments and a yoga class.

Hi Henrik We had a lovely holiday and the staff were really accommodating when they had the time, and very friendly. We were surprised to find that there wasn’t a bar area and disappointed that we couldn’t get snacks around the pool area. I do think that it would be a huge benefit to maybe have a staffed bar area as sometimes it was quite a wait to get a drink or there was not any staff available. The pool area was amazing and so peaceful but sometimes there was a shortage of beds if everyone in the hotel decided to stay at the pool. I think it could benefit from some umbrella’s for those who have missed the opportunity to sunbath in the sheltered area. The Hotel was absolutely beautiful ,clean, bright and peaceful and the rooms were fantastic. Air conditioning did need to be looked at though because it didn’t really get as cool as you would expect and the heat in the night was intense. Overall we had a great holiday and it would be perfect with the above adjustments. I must add that your help was invaluable and we informed Inman how accommodating you had been. Thanks for a great holiday Kind regards

Dear Henrik, Thanks for our email, funny, it was on my list to email you to say thank you for an amazing holiday.

Henrik, Thank you so much for your recommendation of Son Mas. The hotel was exactly what we were looking for; relaxed, quiet and peaceful. We loved that the staff were few but efficient and extremely friendly. What a wonderful place! The photos on your site and theirs really do not do them justice at all. The pool is much larger than it appears and the hotel itself is really quite beautiful. Although we did not have a separate bedroom from our young children, the terrace gave us a place to relax in the evening when they were asleep. It was a perfect destination. Thanks again!
