JS Horitzó

I’ve recently come back from a week in Mallorca and stayed at the JS Horitzo Hotel for a week, so I’ll tell you a little bit about it and share my experience. Location: The hotel is in Can Picafort which sits right on the beachfront in Alcudia Bay, I hired a car from Palma de Mallorca Airport, the drive is around 55km and took around 55mins to get there. Food: I thought the food was excellent, I stayed half board, breakfast was served from 7.30-9.00am and had plenty of choice, everything was well presented, Dinner was 6.30-21.00 and there’s some lovely dishes served during my stay, plenty of choice and I enjoyed the food, so no problems there. Rooms: My room was basic but it had everything you need, I had a comfortable bed, a balcony overlooking the beach which got the sun in the evening, plenty of wardrobe and drawer space + lots of hangers, a TV on the wall which had a few decent movies on during the week, a fridge decent size. Sheets and towels are all changed each day, Bathroom was an adequate size, I was on the 4th floor which also has a sun solarium where you can sunbathe if you like. Parking: I had no trouble parking as I rented a car for the week, once you enter the seafront roads & get down to the hotel area, there’s lots of residential streets where you can find a space quite easily. Things close by: Alcudia is just up the road, you can walk it if you fancy a bit of a hike, there’s a Lidl just up the road 3mins drive, a good place to stock up as some of the local mini markets are a bit pricy. Also there’s Port de Pollença a nice beach and town which is around 10min drive. Conclusion: All in all I enjoyed my stay there and would definitely go back, the weather was pretty good on the whole, it was September so there was a few overcast days brewing, the food was very good & the beach and shops were very close by, so everything you need is close to hand, Wi-Fi was included and works from your room, add in a car and it’s a great base from where to explore the island as well.

I see lots of complaints about this hotel and I really cannot agree with them. it is a 3 star venue and very good value for money. OK, it is tired and overdue for renovation. but it was comfortable and we both slept very well (which counts for a lot with us old folk)! the food was very good (we did half board) and the staff were very good, friendly and very accommodating. the air con in our room did not cool. that was OK for us as were were they're mid May, but not so nice during July time. it needs servicing. if you want somewhere better, be prepared to pay a lot more. a week with flights and half board for £370 each is pretty good in my view!

The hotel is in a perfect location, a few steps from the sandy beach. We chose half board which included a wide selection of food for both breakfast and dinner. Additionally, each dinner included a thematic selection (e.g. Italian, French , American). The room had A/C, fridge, and an incredibly comfortable bed. Staff is really kind and helpful. Although the street is noisy, nothing can be heard in the room.

This is by far the worst hotel I’ve stopped in and I’ve stopped in a fair amount of travellodge hotels. Upon arrival we were asked if we wanted a sea view (€65 upgrade fee) even though the rooms were available and they had no bookings for them. We went up to the room on the 3rd floor in a lift that looked like it’s not been touched since the 1970s. Got to the room down the dark corridor to which looked like an old broom cupboard. The room was very very basic patio doors to the balcony didn’t open and close properly or lock properly, the wardrobe was just a cupboard, the bath was rusty and the bathroom floor was full of holes where various differs thing had been screwed down. That’s just the room. First night we went for dinner there was a very limited selection of food and you could barely make a sensible meal and it was cold. Breakfast the next day was ok if your an egg lover there was scrambled egg boiled egg and fried eggs and bacon and that was it. No beans or sausage or anything to make a decent breakfast the coffee from the machine was hit and miss the orange juice was watered down all in all the food was terrible. The only good part of the hotel was the location.

Very nice hotel, with pool and Beach near by. Rooms are comfortable with air conditioning and with nice views. Beds are also comfortable. In bathrooms there was a problem with soap because if press up the soap was coming with minimum portion.
