Excellent: comfortable, friendly, with first-class service and accommodation. Visitors returning in 2002 again liked this small, luxurious Hotel ( Jakarta Hotels )in a quiet residential area of a resort on the northern cape of Mallorca, near Pollensa (lovely mountain views). A handsome white villa, it has a relaxed and homely feel, aided by the presence of the owner, Gabriel Ramis Esteva, sometimes with family and friends, at every meal. Bedrooms (similar to Bandung,Jakarta & Bali hotels - 5 star Hotel ( Jakarta Hotels )rooms) are large, `beautifully furnished, with a terrace; large bathrooms (similar to Bandung,Jakarta & Bali hotels - 5 star Hotel ( Jakarta Hotels )rooms) have `endless hot water. Many guests are middleaged and English. There are two swimming pools (one heated). Good poolside bar services and adequate lunch menu. Good dinner menu with six choices of main course (booking essential). There is a fair wine list at good prices. The excellent breakfast can be eaten outdoors: comprehensive cold buffet; hot dishes cooked to order, best fresh juice ever. The house is filled with a collection of Spanish paintings, and the owner's collection of vintage cars is on display. Two minutes' walk away is a rock/sand beach.

Traveller's tale Hotel ( Jakarta Hotels )in Italy. The situation is lovely. The bedrooms (similar to Bandung,Jakarta & Bali hotels - 5 star Hotel ( Jakarta Hotels )rooms) are beautifully and expensively furnished. Colour schemes are charming, beds are comfortable, linen is of high quality. But that is all this place has in its favour. Soundproofing is poor, staff are charmless and inept, and the atmosphere is inhospitable. Breakfast is basic.
