Hotel Castell Dels Hams

“Castell del Hams, Mallorca. June 2026”

If you are an ex smoker then don't go, there is no restriction on where you can smoke, so make sure you are upwind. It's very off putting and spoiling a great holiday, I probably wouldn't come back for that reason.

“Relaxed holiday”

Hotel is off the main road about 2km from Porto Cristo. The road is quite busy, so a walk into town is not advised. However the hotel runs a courtesy bus, probably due to this very reason, every day except Tuesday. Do remember to book your time and seats on the bus - you cannot get on without a … more

Hotel is off the main road about 2km from Porto Cristo. The road is quite busy, so a walk into town is not advised. However the hotel runs a courtesy bus, probably due to this very reason, every day except Tuesday. Do remember to book your time and seats on the bus - you cannot get on without a booking. The hotel looks magnificent when you arrive, especially at night when it is all lit up. Room was comfortable and clean. Food was good, but it would have been better if they had labelled all the dishes on offer, so you could identify the dishes available. Lovely, spacious restaurant, with tables available outside too. One negative - dinner is not started until 19.30, which is a bit late, in our opinion. The pool area is also spacious, and there were plenty of sunbeds and shade available, with no dramas over "pre-reservations". Lots of leisure activities available - tennis courts, crazy golf, pools etc. Entertainment staff were great - nice, friendly and talented. Their two shows we saw were excellent. Only one nights entertainment was disappointing and that was the visiting magician. Lovely shop on site, with a very nice lady serving. Bar staff were also very nice and friendly - you can serve yourself soft drinks, water, ice creams etc.

“Great hotel, very French”

The facilities overall are excellent. During the day you have the pick of 4 swimming pools as well as a basketball court, football pitch, tennis court, beach volleyball, arcade games, mini golf, french bowls and many more. There is lots of sun beds and it’s not allowed to save a sun bed, so there’s… more

The facilities overall are excellent. During the day you have the pick of 4 swimming pools as well as a basketball court, football pitch, tennis court, beach volleyball, arcade games, mini golf, french bowls and many more. There is lots of sun beds and it’s not allowed to save a sun bed, so there’s lots of beds available. This is also as a free shuttle into town from 10:00 - 18:00 every day. Our room was really nice, cleaned and fresh towels every day. Our air conditioning wasn’t great but luckily it wasn’t really boiling so it didn’t affect us too much and the shower head was quite low - I had to squat down to use it (I’m 6 foot tall) and the wifi didn’t reach our room. The food was fantastic, especially the pizza. Different food all good quality from steaks, to seafood to stews or kebabs. Even the desserts were delicious with all types of ice cream, mousses, yoghurts, fruit and slices of huge cakes. And there were loads of drink options included. Initially we felt a little bit intimidated by the hotel. This was because it was mainly French. Almost 90% of the people were French including the staff. However after the first night this didn’t become an issue and all the pros of this hotel outweighed it.

“Last minute birthday get away”

I booked this hotel last minute for a birthday getaway with my partner — we’re both in our late 30s.

I booked this hotel last minute for a birthday getaway with my partner — we’re both in our late 30s. The hotel is mostly French-dominated, followed by Spanish guests, with English visitors being the minority. It’s very family-orientated, the animation team work extremely hard and bring a great energy from morning till night. There’s always something happening from 10am until midnight: tennis, French bowls, gym, pilates, yoga, board games, darts, and football. There are three outdoor pools — one deep, one medium, and a shallow kids’ pool with a big smiley face and a mini water park & one indoor pool. There’s also a gym, a children’s playroom, and a kids’ club. The jacuzzi was unfortunately switched off, when I enquired about the spa, I was told it hasn’t been open since 2020, which was disappointing as would have been handy during a rainy day Food-wise, there’s plenty of variety and something for everyone, including drinks — we enjoyed the meals overall. The hotel was clean and well-kept, though we did occasionally find cups or plates not properly cleaned during dinner service. Rooms are small but modern and comfortable. Location-wise, it’s quite remote, but the hotel provides a free shuttle bus to the beach (about a 10-minute drive), which is a great touch. Overall, I’d recommend this place. It’s not fancy, but it’s friendly, active, and has a great atmosphere. Perfect if you just want to switch off and be looked after for a few days.

This hotel is very much a French hotel, and catering is done very much so for them. The food is average and very repetitive from lunch to dinner. There is always pizza and chips with fresh salad so we always found something to eat and for our little one The dinner hall wasn’t the cleanest as we often found food in the high chairs and under the table Mat from the sitting before us. In regards entertainment there isn’t anything really for children like a kids disco ect but the entertainment team are fantastic and put so much effort into their evening shows! Can’t fault them. Safety issues we found, around the pool area there are several trees and one has a big hole around it a good 2ft drop with metal re bar sticking out of the ground. My 1.5 year old fell into this while walking and grazed all her arm and leg. There is also another big safety concern with a tree that overhangs a lot of sun beds. It has a huge split and the large branch is being help up by the power lines that run underneath. This has been reported to reception and was brushed off as being safe. I was a tree surgeon in the uk for 10 years and this is not safe at all. I will not be bringing my family back to this hotel !
