Our Comments:

The Meliá Palma Marina is a classic business style hotel which offers superb facilities in a good location.  It's part of the respected Meliá chain which means a high standard of comfort and service are to be expected.  Whilst it is slightly more expensive than its sister hotel the Palma Bellver, this can be justified by its superior facilities, such as its excellent Gin bar.

As a business hotel, it has 18 conference rooms available which can accommodate up to 350 people.  This means that room availability can sometimes be problematical, and during conferences guests will notice the hotel can become very busy.

Some of the lower priced rooms have poor views, although this may not be an issue if you're not planning on spending too much time in your room.
