My husband and I have just got back from a week at the Exagon Park Hotel and had a wonderful week. Set amongst palm trees and evergreens 10 mins walk to the beach on the edge of nature reserve and a residential area, the hotel was in a quiet setting and the pool area was surrounded by a large grassed area with loungers a plenty. Guests were predominantly British, Irish, Dutch and German. The staff were pleasant hardworking and the entertainment team informative, funny and respectful if you didn't want to join in the activities. Both lads worked well together and obviously loved their jobs. I was worried when I saw a review about them being pushy and rude but it certainly wasn't our experience. Our room was spacious and clean, the bed was comfortable but we were only given 1 pillow each and they were very hard. We asked for extra, as did many other guests so i'm not sure why they dont just have 2 each in the first place? There is a lack of sockets but as a couple we managed fine. The decor is not modern but this did not bother us at all. We were on a half board basis which I was glad that we weren't AI as there wasn't the choice I've experienced on previous holidays, the most annoying part was unless you were lucky to time your food for when it came out, most of dishes were cold. The overhead/hot plates are woefully inadequate which was a dissapointment. We ate daily breakfast but only ate dinner in the resturant twice. There wasn't the choice you'd expect from a 4* and no flare in the presentation so it felt more like 3* but it was well cooked and no one would starve. I did note there wasn't any proper allergy labelling on any of the food so take this into account. The bar area is spacious and comfortable with nightly hour long entertainment of a lounge act of singers. All were very good. There is a full stage outside for the height of the season. The hotel bar prices were very reasonable €3.50 for a pint or glass of wine and waiter service. The bus stop is a 10 min walk from the hotel with a regular 20 min service very easy to travel to the neighbouring Alcudia and the whole island. We rarely saw the Ting Ting land train in use but it does have a stop immediately opposite the hotel gates but the hotel has a private walk way directly to the beach on the edge of a fresh water river and nature reserve which was a nice walk. A further 15/20 mins along the promenade takes you to Can Picafort where there are plenty of bars and restaurants to eat and drink at and are very reasonably priced. I have chronic back pain and sciatica but managed this walk daily (and further as its so pretty) as its ptactically on the flat and well paved. We booked the Son Amar show which was excellent but factor in the 2 hour coach trip there and back due to other pick ups so we didn't get back to the hotel until 2am. All in all we really enjoyed our stay it was very relaxing, music choices for the outside bar and pool area were perfect, the daily 'animation' choices were low key and unintrusive, so was perfect for a chilled week. Just 2 things may stop me returning, the uncomfortable pillows and cold food, if these were sorted it would have been a perfect week. That said I would recommend this gem of a hotel in a lovely setting on the doorstep of a lively resort on a beautiful island.

exceptional value. Booked this as a budget deal so expectations were modest and previous reviews mixed. detractors there will always be but we have stayed in many hotels worldwide and this one was a real surprise. Room very clean and functional and decent balcony - no sign anywhere of being dated as others have said, Public areas immaculate and regularly cleaned - facilities and layout excellent- pool area is very good and a decent bar and loads of shade large pool and many loungers. Food - breakfast superb choice re stocked constantly and very good quality for a large operation as good a breakfast buffet as you could expect. Evening meals some have commented are repetitive and some of it is but when there is a massive choice how do you vary it - grilled prawns one night, tuna steaks veal , lovely lamb carved in front of you even rabbit one night you would be hard pressed not to find something and it is very palatable - for variety we did eat out a couple of times locally but that was our choice and what we do but for a budget half board hotel it was exceptionally good. Special mention for one of the head waiters -Andreas I think - never seen anyone work that hard constantly 11/10 to him they are lucky to have him - no task seems beneath him and he races around ensuring everyone is attended to. All staff were well turned out helpful cheerful and always acknowledged you - no exceptions they were super. great location near beach and near the bus stop - end of the line so you cant miss the stop and you always get a seat at the start of the route - area is a very pleasant residential area.- highly recommend

“Lovely pool but not lovely mosquitoes 😑 ”

The food was not good at all and was on a loop with the same things repeated each day. Although we were all inclusive we went out several nights. Other people said the same thing. Rooms were dated but adequate. The pool was amazing, huge with plenty of sunbeds always available. The main reason we would never return was the fact that it is next to a nature reserve, meaning we were covered in mosquito bites which kept us scratching all night. I still have a couple of scars!
