La Residencia, A Belmond Hotel, Mallorca

세상에서 가장 아름다운 숙소입니다 신혼여행으로 잊지 못할 추억을 만들고 왔어요 다음에 꼭 다시 갈 것입니다

I was stunned by the beauty, location, details, the staff of this hotel. The service was out of this world. I’m back in shortly.

Belmond La Residencia is a gorgeous property in Deia, and though I already knew this when I booked the hotel for 7 nights, we were both wowed upon arrival. The setting in the mountains is stunning and you don't even miss being by the water because of the gorgeous views and pool area. As we checked in, we received welcome drinks and snacks, and a person went over the hotel's amenities and offerings. One of the things that's special about this hotel is all of the activities it offers as part of your stay with no additional fees. We booked a phenomenal sunset boat tour (cost included in the stay-- all we did was tip), and also signed up for cava tasting on site (very informative), cocktails in the garden, and yoga in the morning (for myself only). Amenities, 11/10: In addition to the awesome main pool area, there in an upper adult pool, a hot tub, an indoor pool, a sauna, a yoga area with a view, and a fitness area (no views but decent equipment a couple treadmills). In addition, there are all the activities I mentioned above. I should also note that every night, we discovered a new little gift from the hotel at our room. It varied from local sea salt to a beautiful glasses/sunglasses cloth wipe with a Mallorca/hotel theme to a key chain to other items. Service, 12/10: The managers at this hotel seem to really care about your experience. After I booked, the concierge reached out to book dinners for us since some of them (El Olivo) book up quite early. When we got to our room, we found a nice card welcoming us, a beautiful flower arrangement to mark our special occasion, and fresh fruit and biscuits. At the cocktails in the garden activity, a Belmond guest experience leader who visit several hotels chatted with us for 45 minutes and seemed genuinely interested in our thoughts about the property and our questions about other Belmond hotels. We had a very early departure time before breakfast opened, and our checkout was the best we've ever experienced. A person was waiting to check us out in person and gave us some lovely olive tea to take home. They also provided freshly-baked, unbelievably delicious ensaïmadas for us to take on our trip to the airport and coffee cups to go. Food, 8/10: This is only place that could use a couple minor tweaks. We ordered a lot of drinks by the pool and they were good but not amazing-- and they cost about 20-25 euros each. When I ordered a Caipirinha, I received a glass full of small, pebbly ice, and such a small amount of caipirinha poured over the top that it felt like I was being served shaved ice! A Caipirinha is one of my favorite drinks, so I brought it back to the bar area so it could be fixed and the young bartender argued with me, telling me that that was how a Caipirinha was made. He googled it on his phone and eventually, after I pushed, made me a new one which had just slightly more liquid in the glass. My husband ordered many different drinks at the pool and was not impressed, and he has had some grea
