Ciutadella

Just back yesterday after spending a week at Binimar. I can honestly say we had a brilliant time. Some of the reviews I read beforehand really put me off but in my opinion they were wrong. I travelled with my husband, son and grandson and to be honest the rooms are much smaller than the photo images show but they were adequate and spotlessly clean. The food was amazing, so much choice and so fresh. The water slides for children were fabulous, my 6 year old grandson had a ball. The evening entertainment was great, varied and something for everyone. The staff work incredibly hard and Toni was a true gentleman, always smiling and courteous. All in all we had a lovely holiday and Binimar is an excellent 3 star holiday village.

The hotel is excellent for being two keys: comfortable, clean rooms, good food, friendly and attentive service. Overall, much better than what you would expect from this category. Now, the negative: the pool turns every day into a real battlefield. At 7 in the morning hordes of English guests come down as if this were a war for territory, dropping towels to “conquer” sunbeds they don’t even use until late in the afternoon. I witnessed families occupying them since early morning and only showing up at 6 pm, while other families with small children walked around in 40°C heat with nowhere to sit. The result: a chaotic, unfair, and unpleasant atmosphere. To make things worse, the pools are full of giant inflatables, hard balls flying around everywhere —a real danger— and lifeguards more focused on their phones than on safety. All of this ruins what would otherwise be a flawless stay. If the hotel enforced rules on sunbeds and controlled inflatables, it would be perfect. I would gladly give it 5 stars. MESSAGE TO THE ENGLISH: ENOUGH WITH THIS “WAR FOR TERRITORY.” RELAX, THIS IS NOT AN INVASION. SUNBEDS ARE FOR EVERYONE, NOT JUST FOR THOSE WHO DROP A TOWEL AS IF IT WERE A FLAG. SHOW SOME RESPECT TO OTHERS.

Our stay is just coming to an end. The location is good for a family as are the facilities, but as a young couple there isn’t a lot to do around here and so we are relying on the all inclusive for the drinks 😉. The rooms are pretty standard, and it’s a comfortable stay. My main reason for a review is to thank the Animacion/Entertainment team. The team are really good at what they do and really make the stay for the families and children. Wil, Gabi, Desi, Jessica and Ale are Brilliant, but I must say a special “thank you” to Rubén on the Entertainment team. He goes above and beyond to ensure that everyone is included, families, children, couples visiting without children. He cares for everyone and has really made our stay. He remembers people and picks up on small things. He is an asset to the team and needs recognition for this.

We have just stayed at the Binimar for 5 nights. Overall the place is ok. It ticks the boxes. Upon arrival our room wasn’t ready, which is fine as it was still early. We were directed to the luggage room to store our cases, which is the opposite end of the complex, so we did get lost as it wasn’t signposted well. They could do with creating the facility close to reception, as when you do finally get the call, you need to go to reception for the room cards, then back to the opposite end for the luggage, then find your room! Next, the food was lovely. Different things every night. Breakfast is the same daily, but plenty of options. We only had lunch within the hotel once, but dinner every night had the same basics, but then had different options also. The rooms are apartments, which are authentic and quite cute. We did however firstly get out in a room that was over the main bar, and with the entertainment going on it was honestly just too much! I rolled over at one point and heard a round of applause and thought i was in the show! Upon request, we were moved to a different apartment and everything was fine thereafter! The actual complex is clean, well kept and has everything you need. A few bars, 3 pools, close proximity to the beach etc, a supermarket (small shop) Just avoid the air hockey machine! We tried to play it a few times and the puck never dropped! We did however spend our days at the water park. Only as the pools at the hotel were just overcrowded (which we fully expected!) If you’re planning on going to the Aquapark, the hotel does offer discounted tickets, which is not advertised, however if you go more than one day it is heavily discounted and the savings are great! Something else not advertised is the sunset. It was just wow! From our balcony, we could see it fine, however if you head for a 10-15 minute walk towards the edge of the island, there is a cliff edge that draws a huge crowd and you can see the sunset beautifully. We did enjoy our time there, however we wouldn’t rush back. We weren’t blown away however it was perfect for what we needed for a short break away.

Good family resort in a decent location, just a ten minute walk to the lovely coves at Cala En Forcat and a few minutes from the water park. We stayed on the all inclusive deal with Jet2 for a week. The food was pretty good, well presented and a different variety on a daily basis. The room lost this a five star rating as it looked a little tired in places but we were only there to sleep and change so no massive issue.
