Son Matias Beach - Adults Only

Had a lovely 10 days here in April, weather mostly good apart from the winds. If you come here early in the season you have to bring jackets and trousers for the evenings. We had a nice room with a fabulous sea/pool view from balcony and a welcome pack including kettle, two small bottles of milk in the fridge and a large bottle of water. Pool not busy in April, never had a problem getting a lounger but I DID have a problem when I jumped in the pool! It was freezing! The pool temperature gauge said 19 Degrees, er no, just no. Food mostly ok, very good breakfast, they were obviously catering for the British, with fried bread and black pudding! The evening meals were hit and miss. My wife made a complaint about the fish being totally cold and tasteless, the waitress just stared at her and replied “oh, ok”. It was when I bit into my Yorkshire pudding and it was so dry it crumbled to dust that we decided to complain again. The manager came to see us and apologised but really, it’s not good enough, (I wouldn’t mind but we COME from Yorkshire! lol). That was the only incident though, rest of the holiday it was fine. The restaurant manager DID help us out one day when my wife had a minor stomach upset ( caused by a coach trip not the food ) he let me take her a bowl of soup up to the room, lovely guy. We visited a Globales hotel nearby to visit my stepson and it was full of very loud children running around (because of the Easter hols), it was so good to go back to the Oasis that is the Son Matias and relative peace and quiet! The only other minor complaints include: unspreadable butter and thin gravy/custard/jam, but there’s lots to like here, the friendly staff, the views, the entertainment, and also it’s very clean everywhere. It’s a good hotel for all ages but in my opinion it’s the best Hotel in Palmanova if you’re of a “certain age” We’ve decided we love this hotel and we would come back (maybe I’ll give the Yorkshire puddings a miss though ) Ps Love Corina

My wife & myself have just returned from a week's stay at the Son Matias Beach Hotel. Prior to arriving, we had contacted the hotel & requested a quiet room on a high floor! Upon arrival at the hotel, some 2 hours before the normal check-in time, we were pleasantly surprised to find that our room was ready! Check-in was completed within a couple of minutes, and we were in our room on the ninth floor via a fast lift. Two key cards are provided for the room. We liked the idea of the hotel being cashless, & the facility to charge everything to your room via the key card! Our room overlooked the bay with its balcony facing towards the area of Magaluf, & much to our delight, being on the corner of the hotel, enjoyed the sun, when it was out, most of the day. The room was well appointed with comfortable beds, a walk-in shower, mini fridge, large flat screen TV with plenty of English speaking channels if required. The hotel provides complimentary tea & coffee making facilities in the room. There was a large bottle of water & 2 small bottles of milk in the fridge to get us started. There are lots of supermarkets, including an Aldi, near the hotel, for water, milk, wine & beer! Throughout our stay, the room was cleaned to a very high standard. We must congratulate the hotel on the quality & size of the towels provided. They were changed daily, & coupled with the complimentary shower & hair gel dispensers made for an easy life. The hotel restaurant and the variety of food, both at breakfast & dinner suited us. Throughout our stay, I think the longest that we waited to be seated was a couple of minutes! There was always something on offer that ticked our boxes. The food was cooked to a high standard, always hot, & plentiful! Without exception, the staff in the restaurant were efficient, friendly & always helpful. If there was one opportunity for improvement, it would be the provision of decaffeinated coffee at breakfast, & possibly added to the room tea & coffee making facilities. We did ascertain that it was available upon request for breakfast from the bar in the lounge. Evening entertainment was ok, with a range of different singers & styles throughout our stay. Having said that, we did enjoy a couple of evenings playing bingo, & the quiz night that was organised by Corina, the Hotel Entertainer. Her lack of English made the occasions all the more enjoyable for us. The pool area was clean, & there were ample sunbeds to meet the requirements of guests. Corina organised the mini-golf & darts competitions the best she could under the circumstances! The weather wasn't the best for a few days of our stay! That said, the friendliness of all the staff at the Son Matias provided a sunny outlook for us whatever the weather was like in Palma Nova. Would we return, you can bet on it!

Can’t fault this hotel , I have difficulty walking and they swapped my room to a ground floor with out me even asking , spotless , food was bang on we had breakfast every day and there was something for everyone, we only had a meal once at the outdoor bar and that was the day we were leaving and wished we had used it more ! , always got a bed no matter what time we went down , jacuzzi was fab , clean towels and beds made daily , shampoo and shower gel supplied , beach towels also supplied , I did think we had to pay for WiFi but discovered the day we left it was free lol , all the desk staff were great and couldn’t do enough for you , we will definitely be coming back !

We have not visited Majorca for a long time, but we were pleasantly surprised how good THE SON MATIAS was ,its in a great location, right on the beach, the general appearance of the hotel was good, the entertainment was first class, the rooms were excellent a good size, a lovely balcony, The food for breakfast was superb, the service by all the staff was the best we've had in a long time.

Fabulous hotel. Great staff great entertainment Ideal location five stars. Food is outstanding Rooms very spacious immaculately cleaned. New bathrooms have been fitted. Every room has a sea view. Hotel is right on the beach several fantastic restaurants and bars nearby

I cannot fault this hotel. All the staff were welcoming and friendly . Perfect location next to the beach and a short walking distance to both Palmanova and Magaluf. Amazing views of the sea from the 7th floor. Lots of storage space in the room , very comfortable beds , powerful walk in shower , large balcony , many English TV channels and everywhere was very clean . Swimming pool was cold though. Excellent breakfast and evening meal choices . Food was very high quality . Evening drinks including water are chargeable to your room using the key card. Entertainment was good , mainly singers . A bus trip to Palma is recommended . The bus stop is only 2 minutes walk away. There are plenty of supermarkets, bars and shops nearby .We will definitely return to Son Matias Beach hotel in the future.
