Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers a mix of heritage and traditional design in the rooms, which are cozy and clean, providing lovely views of the sea and gardens. However, they could benefit from some modern updates, especially considering the high price of £300 per night.
Staying at the hotel was a pleasant experience overall. The rooms were lovely, with very comfortable beds, marble sinks in the bathroom, and high-quality bath amenities. Direct access to the beach through the garden was a definite highlight, although some updates are needed to modernize the rooms.
The hotel was in a bad shape overall and needing some upgrading, but the rooms were amazing. The service was particularly helpful and pleasant throughout our stay. The location was beautiful, although somewhat isolated. The dining experience was excellent with a good standard of food. The facilities were top-notch.
The hotel is a beautiful retreat, although the rooms are a bit tired looking, the rest of the hotel is stunning. My room had the air conditioning unit blasting only above the bed, making the rest of the room uncomfortably hot. While the room was clean and comfortable, it was nothing overly special.
Despite the need for a room refresh and encountering a few unwelcome guests, the hotel was top class, especially towards the end of the season. The service was a mix of attentive and impolite experiences. The location was exceptional, offering beautiful grounds, direct beach access, and stunning pools. The dining varied from overpriced to excellent. Overall, the facilities were sufficient but could do with minor improvements.
The hotel offers breathtakingly beautiful surroundings with lovely gardens, but is let down by poor quality fittings and lack of maintenance. The staff is friendly and attentive, and the dining experience is a mix of complimentary cava and overpriced dinners. The rooms, though somewhat tiered and needing refurbishment, provide a fantastic view from the top floor.
My stay at Hotel Formentor was quite pleasant overall. The rooms were medium-sized, clean, and had ample wardrobe space, although not at a 5-star level. The bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom had marble sinks, a bath with an overhead shower, and luxurious White Company toiletries.
Despite needing a major refurbish and being quite expensive for the standard, the hotel offers a super nice view. The service was excellent, especially during an illness incident, and the staff around the pool were attentive and helpful. The location is superb for a peaceful getaway amidst plush gardens and a sandy beach. The dining experience, although beautiful and sumptuous, was deemed overpriced compared to local options. Overall, the facilities are enjoyable with some room for improvement.
My stay at the hotel was a mix of comfort and cleanliness in the rooms with a touch of dated luxury. The staff was incredibly welcoming and helpful, especially Vanessa. The location offered a serene escape surrounded by beautiful pine trees and the sea, though the public beach required additional fees. The dining experience was superb, and the facilities were top-notch.
The hotel felt like a home away from home with a lovely room offering a comfortable bed, marble sinks in the bathroom, and white company toiletries. Despite not meeting 5-star standards and encountering some unwelcome guests, the breathtaking view made up for it.
