My wife & myself have just returned from a week's stay at the Son Matias Beach Hotel. Prior to arriving, we had contacted the hotel & requested a quiet room on a high floor! Upon arrival at the hotel, some 2 hours before the normal check-in time, we were pleasantly surprised to find that our room was ready! Check-in was completed within a couple of minutes, and we were in our room on the ninth floor via a fast lift. Two key cards are provided for the room. We liked the idea of the hotel being cashless, & the facility to charge everything to your room via the key card! Our room overlooked the bay with its balcony facing towards the area of Magaluf, & much to our delight, being on the corner of the hotel, enjoyed the sun, when it was out, most of the day. The room was well appointed with comfortable beds, a walk-in shower, mini fridge, large flat screen TV with plenty of English speaking channels if required. The hotel provides complimentary tea & coffee making facilities in the room. There was a large bottle of water & 2 small bottles of milk in the fridge to get us started. There are lots of supermarkets, including an Aldi, near the hotel, for water, milk, wine & beer! Throughout our stay, the room was cleaned to a very high standard. We must congratulate the hotel on the quality & size of the towels provided. They were changed daily, & coupled with the complimentary shower & hair gel dispensers made for an easy life. The hotel restaurant and the variety of food, both at breakfast & dinner suited us. Throughout our stay, I think the longest that we waited to be seated was a couple of minutes! There was always something on offer that ticked our boxes. The food was cooked to a high standard, always hot, & plentiful! Without exception, the staff in the restaurant were efficient, friendly & always helpful. If there was one opportunity for improvement, it would be the provision of decaffeinated coffee at breakfast, & possibly added to the room tea & coffee making facilities. We did ascertain that it was available upon request for breakfast from the bar in the lounge. Evening entertainment was ok, with a range of different singers & styles throughout our stay. Having said that, we did enjoy a couple of evenings playing bingo, & the quiz night that was organised by Corina, the Hotel Entertainer. Her lack of English made the occasions all the more enjoyable for us. The pool area was clean, & there were ample sunbeds to meet the requirements of guests. Corina organised the mini-golf & darts competitions the best she could under the circumstances! The weather wasn't the best for a few days of our stay! That said, the friendliness of all the staff at the Son Matias provided a sunny outlook for us whatever the weather was like in Palma Nova. Would we return, you can bet on it!
