Guya Wave Hotel

“IT'S OK FOR A SHORT TRIP.”

We only stayed here for one night as we were passing through but it suited our needs as a family of four. This is a German hotel. We were the only Brits. The staff are even German.

We only stayed here for one night as we were passing through but it suited our needs as a family of four. This is a German hotel. We were the only Brits. The staff are even German. Check in took an age, for some reason we had to leave our passports for them to be scanned in. We came back later to finish it. Our room was a decent size, recently painted and freshened up. Very basic. Breakfast was included, as you can guess it was catered for the Central Europe guests, but still there were croissants and coffee to be had. Location is good. About 7 minutes from the beach, ample free parking outside the front. For a short stop, this place is fine. If your British and a family for a weeks holiday then find somewhere else. Key note is that a big pint of Estrella is €3.95 at the hotel!

“A hotel on a budget”

This hotel is ideal for those who are on a budget and not too fussy.

This hotel is ideal for those who are on a budget and not too fussy. Despite having booked two rooms in April and then arriving at the hotel in August, (some four months later), on arrival to check in, we were told that one of the rooms wasn't ready and told to come back later once it had been sorted. This was a disappointing start, as we'd paid for a room that wasn't provided, having arrived on the day we were travelling. Furthermore, the receptionist wanted to keep our passports before we left, in order to scan them, however, I would have felt more comfortable if he scanned these and gave them back immediately. The rooms themselves were of decent size, with each room being shared by three men, with two single beds in each, as well as a sofa bed. From a friend that I was staying with, he complained about the comfort of his sofa bed, whereas I had no complaints - it wasn't the same as my mattress at home, but it wasn't uncomfortable. Cooked breakfast was included as part of the stay which we had each morning, deciding not to eat there for other meals during the day. There is a decent-sized pool that wasn't particularly busy during our stay, as well as sun beds around the pool, serviced by waiting staff to bring out drinks. The hotel is in an ideal location, with the main seafront approximately 10 minutes away, a group of tennis courts approximately 7 minutes walk away and beach approximately 15 minutes walk. The hotel itself is quite modern, however, what let it down was the fact that in the lounge (as pictured), were random objects, including ladders, a child's booster seat, a DJ desk and a large box, as well as an open door to a shop out on the street, nothing to do with the hotel. Unbeknownst to me, Majorca is a popular destination for German tourists and residents and this was evident at the hotel. I believe that one of the reception staff was German as well and other staff members could have been. One of the staff on the desk didn't seem particularly happy. We were one, if not, the only British tourists in the hotel. The age demographic appeared to be people in their 20s, with a few people older than this. Overall, it was a budget holiday for a group of six guys in their mid-twenties, so we perhaps got what we paid for.
