Horizonte Hotel Palma de Mallorca: My holidays in palma
Satisfaction:
By Lilou56 on April 18, 2006
During my holidays in april, i visited Palma de mallorca. It's a beautiful town where one can enjoy sun beaches and cultural visits ( the cathedral...). It's an unique and enjoyable environment. Moreover, I was there during Holy Week and i attended several processions. The whole city attended it : it was impressive. I discover hotel Horizonte, located near the center of Palma. I enjoyed Its peacefulness and its very nice team.
There are two swimming pool one of which with jacuzzi. Wonderfull room with fantastic panoramic view of the bay of Palma Internet, bar, laundry, rent a bike, billiards, solarium, barbecue every thursday ...
We weren't staying this time as we had two nights in the hotel born but we had stayed before and just wanted to revisit. Last time had been a very enjoyable 5 days a couple of years ago before the refurbishment.
It was the end of November and we had taken a leisurely stroll along the front. Remembering the views from the Horizonte we made for the bar and had a couple of drinks and a snack lunch. Where the time went we don't know. Very reasonable prices and a grand view of the marina and port. Does not appear to be used by English tour companies - German and Dutch predominate.
The view from the Bar - A little out of town but the number 1 bus runs all the way along the front and it is a stiff ten minute walk up the steps to the hotel.(Porto Pio stop) Alternatively the number 6 takes the back route and drops you by the front door
See the google earth pic- top of hotel sunroof area shows a white strip towards top left hand side.
Try not to let the 'large' private boats upset you.
