Riu Bravo

The hotel's location was absolutely brilliant. A stone's throw away from Playa del Palma beaches amongst others, great and central to nightlife, bars, cafes, restaurants. Room: aircon worked a treat in addition to the fan above the bed was perfect for keeping cool. Room was perfectly sized for myself as a solo traveller but also would have been a great size for two. The lounge was quite comfortable also. Balcony was quite massive but never ended up using it. Still the option to have it was nice. Bathroom: was spotless, great finishings, strong water pressure and a very spacious shower. love the frosted sliding door to separate the rooms. Meals: all inclusive!! Meant my breakfast, lunch and dinner was included in my room cost and the food was always fresh, an abundance of choice and great for most dietary requirements. I don't eat red meat so the selection of poultry and seafood was super impressive. Coffee was standard "american" coffee; or rather just instant coffee (pretty standard from what I have seen in hotels around Europe). Did the trick for early morning starts. Gym: ended up using it only once as there wasn't really alot to use, heaps of cardio machines, but when you are so close to the beach, it would be better to run outside and admire the beautiful waters. But the equipment i did use worked just fine. Staff: were truly so lovely and so kind. Very welcoming and helpful, as an English speaker with no Spanish myself, i tried to learn and ask for as much as I could in Spanish, but was always so grateful when they either helped me in Spanish (cos I always wanted to keep learning) or they were able to speak in English when it was easier. Ill definitely be back to Hotel Riu Bravo when I make my way back to Majorca.

Enjoyed the hotel, only area I think could be improved was the gym, no dumbbells, and the main machine was broken. But given most people wouldn't probably hit the gym on a holiday it's not that big of an issue.
