We enjoyed our stay!) Especially super grateful for the late check out, it didn’t cost too much, but saved the whole day near beach:) Location is great, 3-5 minutes from the Illetes beach as well! The bus stop to the Palma located right next to the hotel! Overall we did have a good time! Thank you!

Lovely hotel and people
A real gem of a place. Positioned on a hillside, with rooms strategically angled so that most have a partial sea view. Lovely clean pools and a nice bar and poolside restaurant. Lots of little activities such as tennis, and mini golf. You can access equipment, including beach umbrellas, and change your towels, in reception at any time. You use the slightly upmarket sister hotel opposite for dinner. You should be able to use their impressive sea-facing pool, but we weren’t able to as they were at capacity. A couple of very small beaches nearby, 15 minute walk or 3 minute bus ride. Bus is €2pp and only takes cash. Beaches were crammed, probably worth going further afield if you prefer the sea to the pool. Buffet dinner was quite varied and pleasant. Men must wear trousers so come prepared. An hour or so of music/entertainment in the evenings by the pool. Would be nice if they continue to play music after the sets end. The real jewels in the crown here are the staff. Very warm and friendly, helpful and cheerful. From hospitality to housekeeping, we chatted to everyone. A credit to the brand. We all really enjoyed our short stay, highly recommended.

A nice hotel in a quiet part of Majorca. Useful that the facilities of the sister hotel across the road can be used. Food was lovely - we stayed half board and the dinner is taken in the sister hotel. Hotel common areas, pool area and rooms in some need of TLC but a good option for an inexpensive short stay in the sun

Very enjoyable stay
Excellent staff at the hotel cater for all your needs, excellent breakfast and dinner with varied choices at both, and a choice of 2 outdoor pools make this an excellent hotel. Evening entertainment could be a bit more varied - singer or band each night. Having your meals on the outdoor terrace is an added bonus as is the courtesy room to get a shower on your last day if you have a late flight.

There was no tea or coffee maker and no room service. In house brochure said that it had been rebuilt in 2019, the only sign of this was builders dust on the skirting board and the fixtures looked worn.they may have meant refurbished. Really it was 3 star and a half. Our friends across the road at the other Riu were definitely 4 star plus. However the staff were excellent, friendly, cheerful and attentive and made for a good experience.

Nice quiet weekend in the sun.
Good location, beach and several nice restaurants within 10 min walk. Quiet area, not much going on after 11 p.m., but you can always jump bus/taxi into Palma or Magaluf depending what you are after. Nice views from the rooms with either full or partial sea views. Two pools were busy, but always some free sun beds.

Very good hotel, The staff were welcoming I have booked half board the breakfast had a great selection of food. Dinner was good with great selection the only downside is the dress policy which is not needed. Wi-Fi was complementary but absolutely useless it does not work or the speed is atrociously slow. I would recommend this hotel but bare in mind the dress policy if your planning to have dinner and have a decent data on your phone as I wouldn’t rely on the WiFi Rui sort it out!!

What a marvelous hotel. The staff were all very helpful and attentive. The rooms and all the communal areas were clean and well kept. It was great to have use of the Spa facilities at the sister hotel and we really enjoyed the crazy golf. Best of all was the welcome from our early flight while the room was being made ready and the ability to use the facilities on our last day as we had a late flight home. Well done to this hotel we would certainly return.

Originally booked for 1 night but stayed extra 2 nights, only 10 mins walk to most 2 most beatiful beach. Food was very good compare to other similar hotels in the area. Our room had a sea and forest view. Sun rise was imazing, location was great for us.

Really nice hotel with very friendly staff. Two points that let out stay down: - our room was only cleaned thoroughly on our first night. Thereafter there was always something that had not been done (e.g bathroom bin emptied, used drinking glasses unchanged etc). - after breakfast there are no catering facilities on site until dinner (which is buffet only, no a la carte menu). So there is no where to pick up a small meal/snack if you are hungry (no room service either). Also found out upon checkout that the dinner buffet is half price if you go downstairs and inform reception, however this is not stated anywhere as the assumption is you would inform reception that you were going to dinner????? Nice quiet location and beautiful view of the sea. Great staff

Lovely hotel, brilliant food!
We arrived earlier than check in time and was greeted with a complimentary drink of our choice. We stayed in one of the bungalows which are very nice, and balcony over looking the sea. Food was brilliant, breakfast and dinner had plenty of choices on offer and the quality was great. Great location with a bus stop right outside for Palma (20 mins journey) and would highly recommend this hotel. Can use the hotel opposite too but beware drinks are expensive!

The hotel is situated at 10 min next to a perfect beach. The hotel itself is brilliant. The staff was perfect - kind, helpful and eager to help. The food was also at a very high standard.

Clean and comfortable hotel
Nice, clean, comfortable and quiet hotel.Lovely showers. No slamming doors - hurray! Two lovely pools. Staff very friendly and helpful. Lovely outdoor terrace for meals, and another for entertainment. Whilst the food was good, something for everyone, we did feel that the hot food was not quite up to four star standard. This hotel is not suitable for those who cannot climb hills. There is very little on the flat and you need the agility of a mountain goat to reach the nearest beach which has many steps. However, we did find one in the other direction which had a lot less steps - and a lift! The buses run into Palma every 10 minutes and take about half an hour. All in all, a lovely relaxing holiday, and the quiet room was worth its weight in gold.

What a great experience!
Illetes is a lovely place to stay, but our experience at the Hotel Riu Bonanza Park made our holiday fantastic! The hotel is clean and smart, with lots of places to sit for a drink and to relax, amazing gardens, with tennis courts, crazy golf and a lovely pool. And the food was really great - something different on the menu every day and lots of choice! However - the staff were what made it really special! Everyone we meet, from the gardener to the manager, were so friendly. I have to mention particularly though, our new friends in the restaurant - all the staff in the restaurant worked very hard, but there were two people in particular who had a great ethic - so friendly and helpful. We were really sad to leave at the end of our week! Overall, a great experience. Only one down side - the car park takes some negotiation to get to - our advice, just rely on public transport - with buses arriving outside the hotel every 10 minutes, you can't go wrong!

Disappointing
As 2 female travellers we didn't get quite as well looked after by the staff as the couples and families. On one dinner occasion we were even gestured into the dining room by the manager so he could then attend escorts the couple behind us. Attention to detail in that regard was poor. They need to treat all the guests equally. Also, very poor dinner choice for vegetarians. Despite letting them know we were vegetarian and asking what didn't have meat in, no attempt made to offer anything else. That is til I spoke to manager. Whilst he did organise chef to make veggie cannelloni, he really didn't take on board the fact that having told staff previously, that no effort had been made to accommodate us. All in all I felt the manager and staff really weren't that bothered about anything. The exceptions were the reception staff and a couple of waiting staff.

Nice Hotel, not so close to beaches
Lovely stay, excellent customer service. We did find pricing for food & beverages quite pricey vs. quality, and due to location there are not very many options. Breakfast was ok, but no variety for the 4 days we were there. Beach is quite a walk away, minimum 20 minute walk to free access public beach.
