Universal Hotel Aquamarin

Todo el personal muy amable y atento. Las instalaciones muy bien, y las habitaciones limpias e impecables. Lástima que solo estuviéramos una noche. Para la próxima vez, seguro que reservamos dos.

We had the best holiday at Universal Hotel Acquamarin. The hotel was revamped last year and is gorgeous - modern and stylish but comfortable and luxurious. The staff were so friendly and helpful - they treated our 2 year old like a queen and couldn’t do enough for us. The food was delicious - breakfast was superb, a fab selection. Our bedroom had the most incredible view of the sea (which we could see from our bed!) and we had a lovely balcony with seating area to watch the sunset - it felt like paradise and we are so happy we found the hotel and Sant Elm. We can’t wait to come back next year!

AMAZING - could not recommend more if I tried! This hotel and area gets 10/10. The hotel itself is gorgeous, the interior fits the area and vibe. The rooms are great, nice beds (and I am a fussy sleeper! Mattresses are on the harder side, you get two pillows where one is memory foam, and you also get a proper duvet). Bathrooms are great and have fabulous showers (I was in both standard and superior rooms). If possible, book a room with sea view just because it is mind-blowingly beautiful. But I also stayed in a mountain view room, and you get the sunrise over the mountains, which was a pretty good second best. STAFF: Cannot express enough gratitude for every single person we've been lucky enough to meet. Everyone is so incredibly kind, funny, attentive, sweet and professional. Can’t fault the service mindedness. Thank you for looking after us like this! HOTEL AMENITIES: The hotel has a gorgeous sea view spa with steam room, aromatherapy shower, pool, sauna, sun terrace, massages, and other treatments. Super clean, always someone there to look after the place (and maybe even bring you an ice water). There's a gym in next to the spa, also with sea view. It is not huge but has everything you need. And if you just avoid pre-mealtimes, it’s quiet. The hotel also does excursions, so enquire about that! Wifi worked seamlessly. Also, special shoutout to the hotel’s offerings around recycling and their filtered water filling stations, which saved the World plastic and me money. Great initiative! BREAKFAST: I am very fussy when it comes to hotel breakfasts. I like my fresh juices (the properly squeezed kinds, not the foamy blended-with-water kinds), fresh fruit (none of that mushy or tasteless stuff), great produce and varied stuff. Here, it exceeded my expectations. There was FRESH juices, FRESH fruit, and there were new items on the buffet daily, which kept it from getting boring. There's also a menu that you can order from. You won't go hungry! Either as vegan, vegetarian or all-consuming. BEACHES: You have direct access to two beaches from the hotel. You have a bigger one to the right, and a smaller one to the left. They're both amazing and I recommend you spend time on both to see if one takes your fancy more. AREA: Sant Elm is a gorgeous little area of Mallorca. It has everything you need and more. Personally, I think it's the perfect holiday spot. There's a load of fabulous restaurants to choose from (personal favourites: La Casita Del Mar (!!), Cala Conills, Sa Calma, Arasa), and the hotel for breakfast and sundowners in the outside bar area. There's a great little pharmacy, and different "kiosks" - one especially worth a mention, Vell Marí Supermercado, which has a load of exclusive items and lots of organic options as well. There are also great clothes shops, and I personally bought a few dresses from Itsy Ibiza. You will also find great hikes around the area that you can access on foot from the hotel. It's worth going for a walk in both
