I had a mix of experiences at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and beautiful, providing snacks and drinks daily, but they were poorly lit, with broken TVs and chipping paint. The service was warm and welcoming overall, but there were moments when the staff seemed overwhelmed and under-supported. The location was spectacular with a cozy fireplace and a well-stocked bar, but some aspects felt steeped in a coastal vibe with heavy sailing influences. The dining was the best we have ever experienced, but the in-room dining lacked the same level of excellence. The facilities were fantastic, offering home-made Majorcan products.

I absolutely loved my stay at this five-star resort! The rooms are gorgeous, with louvers blinds between the bath and guest room, creating a unique and luxurious atmosphere. The pricing of these suites, owned by individuals, adds an exclusive touch to the experience. The service was exceptional, with staff going above and beyond to ensure everything was taken care of. The location is incredible, perched on top of a bluff with easy access to a beautifully curated beach. The dining completed my heavenly experience, especially with the vegetarian and vegan dishes available in The Bistro.

I arrived at this five-star resort at 12 o'clock and even though our room wasn't ready, which was fine since we were early, I still enjoyed the start of my stay. The service that made Ocean House exceptional was caring and professional, especially after dining outside. As a birthday gesture, they truly made my day. The location of the hotel was gorgeous, with infused water and assorted magazines to read, and the rooms were classically appointed with deep leather loungers in front of a cozy fireplace.
