A very good hotel, lovely staff, good food!

We stayed at the Iberostar Cristina Waves during the February half term. We had a great stay. The staff are very attentive, great with the children and very friendly! The hotel is clean, tidy and well maintained. The food was varied and very good! The only criticism that we have is the bedrooms only provide a single pillow and the beds are single beds pushed together with separate bedding. Unfortunately the outdoor pool was closed when we visited but we knew this in advance but are unable to comment but it certainly looked great! In terms of the area, the bus which is adjacent to the hotel will take you to the Cathedral for a small price of a few euros per person. You can walk (we walked home) it’s about 9 miles along the coastal path where you can stop for food or drinks. In terms of cycling, great facilities for maintaining or storing your bike, easy routes from the hotel including Puig De Randa climb or if you want something easier, take the coastal path to Palma and back (16 miles).
