Hotel Roc Leo

The breakfast was fabulous. It was the largest buffet I've ever seen in a four-star hotel in Western Europe. There was even a standby chef who can make you any kind of egg dish on demand. Most of the staff were typical: efficient and impersonal. But the lady at the buffet, I believe her name is Paqui, was very friendly. She would come back at random times to check if we were OK. She would crack jokes that my parents did find very funny. She has amazing rapport, and communicates very effectively. Location is at Playa de Palma, quite far from the city center. The location's appeal is that it is nearly beachside. I imagine this place to be really lively in the summer, with so much restaurants and cafes in the vicinity. Unfortunately, most establishments were closed for winter, but we expected it and that really didn't bother us. A car would be useful. Rooms feel new, and all have balconies. Contrary to the experience of most reviewers here, wifi was actually fast. The pool and the surrounding lawn is spacious. It is right by a street that leads to Palma. There are regular bus services, but hiring a car is recommended.

The elevator was a bit cramped. We were travelling with a wheelchair-bound guest, so there was some struggle to fit him in the elevator. Also another thing, the bathroom is not a room in itself. The toilet is closed, no worries about that. But the shower is quite open. It's a privacy issue, which might make you feel awkward. But if you're comfortable with who your sharing the room with, it's fine.
