Hotel Serrano Palace

Fabulous Fantastic thanks you for a great weekend

Muy buen hotel Hotel antiguo pero en perfecto estado. El servicio increíble. Muy buena cena y desayuno.

Had a fabulous 10 days in this hotel. The customer service is exemplary. On arrival at midnight we were presented with either champagne or orange juice and a lovely meat and cheese platter in the restaurant. We couldn’t work the aircon on our first night.. TIP- the fan control is at the side of the bed and works perfectly! We were half board and ALL the food was amazing. We have stayed at many 5 star hotels and this was some of the best food and varied we have had. The staff everywhere in the hotel were amazing and I’d give the customer service 10/10. The heating system broke on a Sunday and we had no hot water until Tuesday afternoon but the communication was great and the hotel offered all free drinks to every guest on the Monday. Pity my husband had a cold so didn’t want to drink but we did manage a bottle of wine! The rooms are huge with lots of storage and separate sinks. The furniture is beautifully solid in a slightly old fashioned way with a gorgeous walnut finish and lots of marble. A couple of criticisms are the lack of a kettle and tea making facilities in the room. Being British I miss my strong tea when abroad! The other issue was the wifi which wasn’t as fast or stable as I expected it could be. The evening entertainment was good that we saw but we only went three times. It is a predominantly German resort which means it is very clean, and full of German Boomers which suited us. I’m English and husband is Irish so very nice to be in a clean, refined resort with no plastic menus or British and Irish bars full of noisy youngsters…. The beach and sea front area are fantastic for walkers and the coastal walks were beautiful.

Wir waren im Serrano Mitte September für 5 Nächte und waren sehr zufrieden. Das Hotel hat sehr geräumige Zimmer mit großem Badezimmer und nettem Balkon. Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit Meerblick gebucht. Man hat vom Zimmer auf das Pool und den öffentlichen Strand gesehen. Sehr gut ist auf alle Fälle das Buffet beim Frühstück. Es fehlt eigentlich nichts, was man zum Frühstück essen kann. Selbst verschiedene Aufstriche und Pasteten gab es täglich. Jede Menge Serrano Schinken bzw. frischen Lachs. Es würde zu lange dauern, um alles aufzuzählen. Das einzige Manko ist, dass es praktisch keinen Parkplatz vor dem Hotel gibt. Beim Ankommen mit dem Mietwagen etwas mühsam. Auch sonst kann man kaum vor dem Hotel parken. Es gibt zwar eine eigene Garage, aber da muss man schon vorab einen Platz reservieren, da man sonst definitiv keinen bekommt. Man kann allerdings sein Auto etwas entfernt hinter dem Hotel (mit einer kleinen Runde um ein paar Häuserblöcke) parken. Ein paar Minuten sind es dann zu gehen. Das war das einzige Manko im Hotel. Vielleicht auch noch der penetrante Geruch nach einem speziellen Duft im ganzen Erdgeschoss. Wir konnten leider nicht feststellen, was es war, aber den Duft kannten wir aus vielen asiatischen Hotels. Sollten wir wieder einmal nach Cala Rajada kommen, würden wir auf alle Fälle wieder das Serrano buchen. War richtig top!

Sehr gutes Hotel. Werde ich sofort weiterempfehlen. Beim Essen merkt man, dass man in einem 5 Sterne Hotel ist. Das komplette personal ist auch noch positiv zu erwähnen.

My girlfriend and I visited this hotel last week for 5 nights bed and breakfast. Upon arrival we both noticed a strange aroma in the main lobby. We were greeted at the front desk by a very friendly member of staff who explained most things about the hotel and gave us our key card. Entering our room we noticed it was spacious with a bath tub and a balcony. Unfortunately, as the days passed we found that there were to many things that frustrated and disappointed us about the hotel. The biggest annoyance has to be that our room overlooked the bins and they were cleaned every morning at around 6am and went on for a long time. This impacted our sleep unfortunately. The second thing is that we felt that we had to pay extra for every little thing. I understand the concept of a minibar and that is fine, but I would expect to have a coffee in my room without having to pay for it especially for a 5* hotel. As well as this, we got told that we would have to pay extra to use the cushioned sunbeds by the pool. The rooftop terrace that you see in the pictures is an exclusive terrace with a pool, but you also have to pay to use that. In all I just felt that we were restricted with the hotel and that we were glad we only went for bed and breakfast. The breakfast was okay. Nothing special but also not dreadful. The main joys of this hotel have got to be the location and staff. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. We received a chocolate or cookie everyday when our room had been cleaned. (this is more what you expect from a 5* hotel) It's the little things that make the difference. I can't fault the location of this hotel at all. It has an incredible beach just over the road, 2 mini markets and a beach bar/restaurant. along the promenade is lots of bars and restaurant to chose from. Our favourite was Wakiki. Overall we had a fantastic time in Cala Ratjada and would definitely come back. (just maybe not to stay in this hotel unfortunately.) This is a German resort just in case that bothers anyone.
