The Hotel Costa Azul Palma de Mallorca is on Avinguda de Gabriel Roca, facing the marina. It is a 4-star hotel with a third-floor pool, an indoor pool for the cooler months and a gym with views of the bay. It works well if you do not want to give up exercise or a pool on a city trip.
Location and getting around
Santa Catalina and its market are about a 5-minute walk away. To the west, the Club de Mar is about 10 minutes along the Paseo Marítimo. To the east, along the same promenade, you reach the Passeig del Born or Palma Cathedral (La Seu) in about 20 minutes.
The airport is a little over 9 km away. For getting there and back, a taxi or public transport is the practical choice.
Rooms and facilities
The rooms are bright and come with air conditioning, free wifi, an LED satellite TV and a fridge. Some have direct sea views; if that matters, choose that room type when you book.
As well as the two pools and the gym, the hotel has a sauna, a café with a terrace and a restaurant serving breakfast and dinner. Breakfast is a buffet or continental.
Who it suits
- Travellers who train daily and want a gym at the hotel.
- Guests travelling out of summer who want to be able to swim in an indoor pool.
- Couples who want to dine in Santa Catalina and walk back.
