“Nice and modern hotel with friendly and helpfull staff”

Polite and friendly stuff, correct and prompt answers any quastions froum us. The meals was delicious and wide range of food. The cleaning of the room was succesfully and fast. Great locations with several parking opportunities.

“Decent place to go!”

Clean, staff are polite, we went in October and it's honestly not been very noisy, it's the standard Spanish noise you get, cars honking or dogs barking from time. Nothing particularly disruptive. It may be noisier in peak season but it is a bit further away from the main strip from other places ... more

Clean, staff are polite, we went in October and it's honestly not been very noisy, it's the standard Spanish noise you get, cars honking or dogs barking from time. Nothing particularly disruptive. It may be noisier in peak season but it is a bit further away from the main strip from other places so less rabble. They have a sky bar/pool which is quite nice to hang out at, would recommend their sangria. Would recommend basic rooms for only couples or solo people, not so much for friends/relatives. You don't get a whole lot of toilet/shower privacy that you may want it you're staying with someone you aren't so close with. There's a mercadona supermarket nearby, amongst many spar shops too. Breakfast and dinner are decent, they seem to have regular things everyday with some variation. So for breakfast things like coffee/juice, cheeses, bread, meats, salad, hot food like sausage, beans, jam, toast etc. For dinner, it does vary somewhat but there's often staple things like chips,pizza, salad etc, but they'll do things sometimes like seafood. Usually some sort of dessert area too with cakes, ice cream etc. For dinner if you're half board you'll want to go to the counter and order/pay for drinks but they're reasonably priced. The volume will differ depending on how busy/full the hotel is, we noticed some days they had a lot more choice than others. Small gripes but nothing major but good to note - the lifts can be rather slow. They have two small lifts with a max capacity of 4. So it can take a while to get about when it's busy. So might not be ideal for prams, wheelchairs etc if you're a particularly impatient person. Our shower seal is a bit leaky so it was leaking a bit of water onto the floor. But we put a towel down by it to help. Overall a decent place to stay, good value for money. You're well catered for, and honestly don't need to venture far from the hotel if you just want want a lazy one. A kettle in the room wouldn't go amiss.

“A bit disappointing”

The Hotel Son Veri is an average hotel. It has good and not so good points. The good points are the staff are all very friendly. The food is ok, very tasty although not always hot but there is a microwave and sometimes food not replenished when it ran out. Not all the food is labelled. There is a bus stop outside the hotel to Palma. The hotel is modern, clean and rooms cleaned to a high standard daily. There is a bar on the roof - the Sky Bar which has lovely views of Palma Bay. You can also get hot snacks there and music is played all the time although probably not to everyone's taste although I enjoyed it. Once a week there is a DJ playing the same type of music which was very popular. The not so good things are as follows. You have to pay for a safe. You have to give a deposit for the key to operate the safe and a deposit for the TV remote control. There are no English TV channels. They are mostly German, French and Spanish. There is no fridge in the room and no kettle. The room itself was adequate and the beds very comfortable,but the toilet is in a glass cubicle, as is the shower and there is a small space by the shower with a basin but no door separating this from the bedroom which seemed a bit odd. So not much privacy. The balcony was small but fine. We were on the 9th floor and overlooked another hotel, the other hotels pool and a school and you could see part of the street. There is a small plunge pool on the roof and another pool off the reception area. There is also a bar there which never opened, even when the Sky Bar was closed due to the weather and we were disappointed not to be able to get a drink anywhere unless you went back down to the seafront which is down a large hill. There is no entertainment at the hotel. There was a Spar shop next door and a restaurant on the corner which wasn't always open. There seemed to be nowhere to just go and get a drink at night and being an older couple to trek back down to the seafront at night was just not going to happen! The resort is down the hill and you can get a mini train to Can Pastilla which is a much better resort. Arenal is a party town for Germans. And there are a lot! There shops are mostly geared for the Germans and there are a lot of kebab shops. You can get a bus to Palma outside the hotel but these tend to be very busy at times. We had hoped to get a connection in Palma for going to other places but we could not find the bus station. It's underground! which we found out too late. Nobody seemed to be able to tell us this. I also had my purse stolen in Palma whilst trying to find the bus station. Overall we made the best of it and it depends what you want from a holiday. I would say if you are young and German that's the place for you.
