A bit about the resort ...

Thanks to the beautiful mild climate and beautiful scenery, as well as the friendliness of the local people, Mallorca and all the other Balearic Islands are one of the best tourist destinations in the world.

The island is the site of the annual rest of the Spanish king and his family members.

Resting in Majorca, you just need to see the city of Palma de Mallorca, which is the capital of not only the island, but the entire archipelago. The city is located in the eponymous bay, which is recognized as one of the most beautiful places in the world. Crystal clear waters, stunning beaches, bays, bays, rocky cliffs, flowering gardens, pine forests and palm alleys make the island a very popular resort.

Palma is a beautiful city that you should see with your own eyes. You can get around it on a special red tourist bus. The ticket purchased for it gives the right to use it throughout the day. But the historical center of the city needs to be bypassed on foot, to admire them and be imbued with the local spirit. In addition, in Palma you can see the round Belver Castle and the cathedral, built right on the coast. In the port you can take the ferry and go to the famous Ibiza ramp, which is known for its entertainment all over the world.

Palma de Mallorca will be interesting and shopaholics. The best shopping places in the city are the streets: Sindicat, Sant Miguel, Jaime III. There is a large number of various stores. It's especially good to make purchases during the sales period, which starts from the first of July. Therefore, tourists planning a vacation in this period, it's worth to visit them. In Mallorca you can also buy traditional local products: handmade ceramics, furniture, items made from palm leaves, national embroidery, famous pearls and handmade sandals.

On the island is not only interesting Palma de Mallorca. All of Mallorca is full of attractions. Among them are the following places that are required to visit:

Delfin Playa 4 * (Palmanova): reviews

Leading the conversation about the complex, I want to talk about the reviews of his guests. Hotel Delfin Playa 4 * - one of those hotels, reviews of which are quite contradictory. It is worth noting that planning a trip to this place is not worth those people who are too picky about all the little things. As we already mentioned, the hotel is not middle-aged, and the last repair in it was held for a long time. This is noticeable by numbers. In general, the apartments are spacious and equipped with normal furniture. All of them are designed in the same style with the interiors of the complex. The rooms are properly air-conditioned, and balconies and terraces are equipped with a minimal set of furniture. So in the evening you can sit and admire the sea view, if the windows of your apartment overlook the coast.

In Delfin Playa 4 * (Spain, Palmanova) there are two buildings: the main one (where the reception is located) and an additional one, through the path. Russians settle, as a rule, in the second building. To receive a room with a view of the sea, reception employees are asked to pay a surcharge. Whether it is worth it, you decide.

Wi-Fi is available only in public places, for use in the room you need to pay extra (the cost is impressive). The apartments have refrigerators and air conditioning. One of the buildings is currently closed for restoration. Daily cleaning of rooms is not always high-quality, but towels without reminders are changed every day. Unfortunately, the bathrooms do not have shampoos and gels, so it's better to take your own home from home.

Food Reviews

According to holidaymakers, food in the Delfin Playa 4 * (Mallorca) is very decent. There is always a large assortment of dishes on the buffet. Continental breakfasts are standard: omelets, eggs, slicing, jamon, yoghurts, toast, tea, coffee, muesli, bacon.

All holidaymakers indicate the presence of a large number of fruits in the restaurant. Here you can try: bananas, grapefruits, melons, watermelons, peaches, pineapples, oranges, apples, plums, pears, grapes. For lunch, soups, meat, pastries, side dishes, poultry, fish, salads, wine and drinks appear on the buffet. Perhaps the greatest variety of food can be observed at dinner. At any time during the day, the main restaurant has ice cream, and it can also be ordered at the bar.

Active tourists who want to see something new, except the beach, are recommended to pay half-board, because, traveling around the island, you are unlikely to have time for lunch. All Inclusive will suit people more passive. In addition, it is worth noting that next to the hotel there is a huge number of cafes and restaurants, which are terrificly tasty.

Not all guests of the hotel are satisfied with the service of the waiters in the restaurant, which are too slow and do not hurry to clean the dirty dishes. All Inclusive system allows you to order in bars a lot of drinks, good quality cocktails. Fans of alcohol will certainly appreciate this nuance.

General impression of the hotel

Delfin Playa Hotel 4 * (photos shown in the article) has a very good location. Next to it there is a public transport stop. The complex itself is located directly on the coast, just a couple of minutes - and you are already on a chic sandy beach. The coast of Mallorca is a real miracle. A beautiful warm sea combined with beautiful white sand, palm trees and coniferous trees create a terrific impression. On local beaches you can rest forever, admiring the beauty of nature and enjoying the peace and tranquility.

The hotel has several wonderful swimming pools, near which there is a recreation area with umbrellas and sun loungers. True, it's rare to see people around them. The local coast is so beautiful that everyone wants to plunge into the sea.

In the evening you can walk along the promenade, on which there are numerous shops. What about animation in Delfin Playa 4 * (Mallorca)? Reviews of tourists say that it is present, but not to the extent that, for example, in the same Turkey. That is, in the evenings there are entertainment programs, but not every day, but in the daytime there is no team of animators who take your time with different sports activities. It is difficult to say whether this is good or bad, but, unlike the Turkish complexes, European hotels do not pay much attention to the leisure of the guests. On the other hand, the hotel has an excellent location, thanks to which you can quickly reach the most interesting places of the island to see the local beauties. Therefore, active tourists simply do not have time for other events. Simply, buying a tour in this complex, you should consider this fact. If you want to relax in a hotel with active animation, it is better to choose one of the Turkish offers, where really professionals work in this case.

Instead of an afterword

Taking into account all the above mentioned about the complex Delfin Playa 4 * (reviews are given in the article), it can be said that the hotel can be recommended for budgetary rest.
