Hotel Bonsol, Illetas, Spain
Hotel Bonsol 4 Stars
"A traditionally styled four star in Mallorca, the Hotel Bonsol has won a loyal following with its family-run charm."
Hotel Overview
Hotel Bonsol is a charming four-star hotel in Illetas, Mallorca. Family-run, it is a world away from the bland corporate hotels that abound these days. It is rather traditional in style, cosy and comfortable; antique furnishings and suits of armour make it seem like a miniature medieval castle in places.
It's very popular with families and older couples, owing to the genial atmosphere and good children's facilities; be aware that the unsteady on foot may find its many steps a bit of a challenge.
The facilities
The restaurant is well-regarded in the area, serving elegant Modern European cuisine in a candle-lit dining space. The breakfast spread is great, with eggs cooked to order, plenty of local pastries and breads, and home-made preserves all serves in the pretty winter garden. The gardens are a big plus too, and hide a heated outdoor swimming pool and tiny private beach.
The rooms
Each of the Hotel Bonsol's 92 guestrooms is individually decorated, in a classic style. All have private balconies or terraces, a minibar and air-conditioning.
