Belle Marivent Mediterranean Petit Hotel

"We stayed for 7 nights at the Belle Marivent in a Junior Suite (with balcony) on a bed and breakfast basis. The hotel is a modern new build (2023) designed to utilise every inch of space within its small footprint. This was reflected in the suite layout, which comprised a bedroom with a separate shower and toilet opening directly into the room itself (not so much an en-suite, more of a room with a loo). There was also a well equipped lounge area joined via a short aisle, which included a sink unit and main wardrobe. We had no problems adjusting to the layout and found that it worked quite well, the only observation was that as a typical new build the quality of fit and finish was less than perfect in places. We would echo the comments of others regarding the location being handy for either walking to Cala Major beach or jumping on the bus (No 4) to Palma. We thought the Coffee Corner next to reception was a nice touch and used it most days for a croissant and a drink on our return after a day out. We didn’t use the rooftop splash pool or loungers during our stay preferring to go to the beach instead. The only inconvenience was the arrangement for breakfast as the hotel outsources this to a local restaurant (Restaurante Porto Zulema) which is a couple of doors up from the hotel. You simply tell them you’re from the hotel, quote your room number and you’ll be given a separate hotel menu. There are no prices on the menu and you can choose what you want. While the restaurant staff were very friendly and spoke fairly good English we found that what you get varies from day to day e.g. choose two eggs on artisan country bread one day and receive exactly what your ordered, order the same thing next day and you might get one egg on a toasted baguette!) That said we found the food to be well cooked and if you fancied something that wasn’t on the menu they would try their best to make it for you. We just think it would be more convenient for guests if the hotel utilised its own fully functioning restaurant in the basement for breakfast, rather than just opening it up on an evening. The thing that did stand out during our stay however was the warmth and friendliness of every staff member in the hotel. They all work exceptionally hard and demonstrate a genuine willingness to help make your stay a pleasant and memorable one. If we were simply reviewing the staff it would be a resounding 5/5 but we really feel that a four star hotel should have all amenities on site, hence 4/5."

"What a gem. Small boutique style hotel with great rooms and excellent service. Special shout to Gabriella who was a real help with getting around the local area and giving excellent restaurant recommendations! There is a restaurant downstairs (El Sotano) but we didn't try it (looked nice though). Fantastic roof terrace with a small plunge pool and an honesty bar for drinks etc. there is a bus stop outside the hotel that goes to Palma in one direction and a fantastic beach at Illetes in the other. We would absolutely recommend and are hoping to go back for another visit very soon."

"We came for a week to this gorgeous little boutique hotel . The staff was exceptionally helpful , kind and smiling . With directions , suggestions etch. Especially helpful for Beach towels and umbrellas and free tickets for the Miroʻ museum. Lovely Coffe/Tea corner with fresh croissant in the morning . The view from the roof with a lovely Plunge pool was an amazing way to chill with a book or just enjoy the view . We loved it. A special thank you to the receptionist , always so helpful and the staff cleaning the room and making my daughter day by sorting her soft toys in imaginative ways"
