Hotel & Spa S’Entrador Playa

Scene

Chain hotel with pleasant and well-kept interiors

Part of the family-run Serrano Hotel chain, Hotel & Spa S'Entrador Playa meets the brand's high standards. Interiors are slightly generic but tastefully done up in creamy neutrals. The lobby offers a light and airy space with white marble floors flecked with gray, plush white sofas, flower arrangements, and a grand piano. The restaurant is a cafeteria-style affair for buffet meals along with live cooking demonstrations; men are required to wear long pants to dinner here, giving the space a bit of formality. But the hotel's most sophisticated space could be the Bar Hall, with both bar counter and table seating. There's a dedicated section for evening entertainment as well as an area with billiards and arcade games. The broad range of features is meant to attract a wide variety of travelers, including families with kids, couples, and groups of friends. This property mainly attracts Europeans, and it particularly caters to German and Italian tourists, who make up a large portion of the clientele.

Location

Located in the resort town of Cala Ratjada -- close to the beach, restaurants, and bars

Situated on the edge of the resort town of Cala Ratjada, this hotel is within walking distance to the town's center, though it's a lengthy 18-minute walk to reach. It's on one of the main roads in Cala Ratjada, so there are several shops, restaurants, and bars in the immediate vicinity of the hotel, plus more options a short walk away. The beautiful Cala Agulla Beach is only a five-minute walk from the hotel, though guests should note that it can get crowded in high season. Port de Cala Rajada can be reached in 15 minutes on foot. The historical towns of Capdepera and Arta are a nine- and 13-minute drives, respectively. There are four surrounding golf courses, all within a 20-minute drive from the property, including Cap de Pera Golf, Pula Golf, Canyamel, and Son Servera. Palma de Majorca Airport is a little over an hour's drive away.
