Just curious if anyone has stayed at the new Hilton Mallorca and if so what they thought?
Many thanks.

Any stays here yet? I'm looking for a trip here in 2010.
How close is it to the beach? How is the Diamond treatment? Any upgrades at checkin? Does it have a club lounge?

If your gold or above you will only be charged the single guest rate. When I stayed at the Innsbruck Hilton last year there was about the same difference between a singe and souble occupancy rate

Still pretty normal for European hotels. I remember the times when you paid per person and not per room. Several hotels still charge a surcharge for the second person in a room.

While the Hilton website doesn't list prices this way, it's very common, particularly in Spain, for hotels to give a discount for single occupancy and will list rooms as such on their website.
e.g. the booking engine of a hotel I regularly stay at lists-
Double Room 100
Double Room - Single Occupancy 85
Deluxe Double Room 130
Deluxe Double Room - Single Occupancy 110

That's all crazy though. Why charge so much 30%+ more for a second person if it is not a legal tax?? Surely two people = more income from bars, restaurants etc - particularly a hotel in the middle of nowhere.
Why would being a Gold, which I am, make a difference? Just curious.

Why charge 15% tax extra in a US restaurant? - they could include it in the price as they do in other countries. Why tip everybody in a hotel in the US? they could pay proper salaries. Different countries have different customs. And there is a world outside the United States and things might be different there. It is as easy as this.

I passed that hotel several times while driving to Marriott "Son Antem" from the cliff line between Cala Pi and El Arenal. Never stayed there but had a drink at the bar. Location is really in the middle of nowhere so unless you like to bike around the island or donīt plan to leave the hotel for whatever reason a car is a must. Closest beach would be "Platja del Palma" (15min drive) but thatīs a mass tourism beach as pure as it gets. Much nicer but still crowded during summer are the beaches around Sa Rapita. "Playa Es Trenc" would be my personal recommondation but thatīs propably a 40min drive.

According to their website the hotel is here:- http://www.hilton.co.uk/HiWayWeb/app...ode=compat_9_2
Rubbish location though as the cliffs are 50 foot or so high here for several miles and there is no beach anywhere. So you will be stuck with just using the hotel pool unless you have a car.

I was somewhat optimistic as I saw this thread emerge that Hilton may finally be assembling some great resorts in Europe. But it seems like this property will not contribute.
Can anyone suggest what fabulous beach resorts Hilton has in Europe? If any.
