Talayot Hotel by Senator - Adults Only

We arrived at the hotel it seemed very disappointing from what we are used to the staff behind the reception was very cold and unwelcoming.We went to our room which again the hallways looked like something from a mental institute very white and cold the room was ok again very white nothing special the bed was like a bag of sand and no bin liners in bins but clean so that’s a bonus.The food was just awful the actual restaurant looked like an old people’s home and the food went along with it just awful there were very few labels so you never knew what you were eating and the food was recycled throughout the week really not 4 star food,it really was disgusting to the point by the end of our visit we stuck to bread and cheese.The bar was hit and miss if anyone was on there ,one night we waited ages for someone and gave up there were things on the menu they never had as they said they were end of season and the manager did not do a full order.I was shocked by lack of ice cream or lolly’s available throughout the day considering we were all inclusive I expected these to be available all day .the pools were very small and Uninviting and the pool beds were dirty and seen better days.Evening entertainment was twice and just painful so we went to our room.Towels I got to day 3 and had to go and ask for new ones they said leave them on the floor and they will get changed that never happened even used cups were just left we had to leave a note to have some milk .The positives were it was in a lovely area maybe think about the area and decide on a different hotel as this one is not a 4 star and the worst I have ever stayed in looking at previous reviews management have not changed anything from what other people have said similar so clearly they need to think about management change .

Great hotel, directly at the sea front. The style of the hotel takes a bit of getting used to, the term "Spartan" comes to mind.

Food: excellent choice and good quality at dinner, plenty for vegetarians, too, some of the fish and meat choices are grilled for you there and then. One evening there wer large Gambas on the menu, but unfortunately no little hand wipes were available should one want to eat those Gambas with ones fingers.

Drinks at dinner are soft drinks, water and wine (white, rose and red) Tinto de verano and beer, alcoholic and non alcoholic, all of which you help yourself from a machine.
My husband said the beer was good, but my friend and myself found the wine rather basic, so we mixed Tinto de verano, red and rose together which proved rather nice

We had a junior Suite which was large, had excellent handwash, shower gels and body lotion provided.
There is a kettle and a "pod" coffee machine.
We received one small bottle of water and a bottle of cava on the first day.
A word of warning: on the coffee shelf there are small packets of nuts and a small packet of crisps, each of them costing €6 !!!!!
The fridge was stocked with shots, beer and soft drinks all at a price though.
Our junior suite had a large balcony which also went round the corner, but lacked sun loungers which I thought would have been ideal given the size of the balcony.
Also there was just one arm chair in the suite, so a second one and a little table to go with them would have been nice. (There was ample room for them)
The room prices vary according to their location and our friends had a "normal" room on the side of the hotel. Unfortunately there was building work going on behind the hotel and the noise echoed from the houses in the side street. The very friendly receptionist changed our friends' room to a higher floor and further to the front without extra charge.
There are also budget rooms on the first floor. These rooms have no balcony and overlook a side street.

On some evenings there was live music in the bar, but no indication was given, which days the entertainment was on or who was playing and what kind of music was being played.
Maybe the hotel could put out a notice board with such information.

The pool at the front of the hotel had sun beds rather than loungers and there was always one available at different times. People did not reserve them first thing in the morning. The pool and jacuzzi behind the hotel was deserted and there were loads of sun loungers ,little side tables and umbrellas.

On the whole the hotel was excellent, the staff extremely friendly and helpful and the location overlooking the promenade (like a mini park) and the sea was ideal for strolls in either direction along the sea front.

Absolutely loved this hotel, so much so we’ve already rebooked for next year, great food, bars, staff and spa. Room always clean and had everything you need with a great balcony with a sea few with shops at short walk away, Gabriel on the chill out bar was our favourite! So kind and always happy to chat! Can’t wait to come back

Overall the experience was good, food was usually great, except Asian night. It was hard to get an iron for the room, and I strongly believe that they gave either only one that they keep moving between rooms, or very few. There was one misleading information on the Expedia website: it says that there is a double bed and a single bed, but when we arrived there they told us that there was no such thing as a double bed. It was not great, as one of the reasons why we chose that hotel was because of the double bed. Expedia should be careful with these informations.

The location is good, but the drop off is at the end of the street, 100yds (thats 92metre - new money) . The walk is worth while as everything about the hotel is more that satisfactory. There are blips, but overall you should enjoy, unless you are a picky eater, more used to ''Just Eats'' delivery fare. The hotel is clean, modern and well staffed with pleasent people. Sun beds are a bit iffy, but who in the world wants to spen all day on a spit. Get out get a life, have a beer, get on a bus.
Food is fine, and up to mass catering standards, a difficult one to cover. The salads and coldmeats / cheese are of a good standard, fresh and crisp. Soup is one off but mast days acceptable in taste and teperature. Bowls can be an issue, but one like the buses will be along shortly. Same for ceral bowls in the morning. Meal time wine, water and Beer are unlimited, so it the high sugar level coke and sprite. Go there there to enjoy, not mone like some reviewer's , you will be the better for it

I spent a week here all inclusive as a solo traveller and I honestly cannot understand all of the negative reviews recently! I’ve had a lovely week and only a few small/minor downsides!

The rooms are really clean and spacious with comfortable beds and a good big powerful shower, hair dryer, kettle, fridge and safe if you want to pay for it. Only downside was the noise at the night time for me, the room doors are big heavy fire doors so every time someone shuts their room door they slam quite loud as you can’t really shut them without slamming them shut so that was a little annoying but you get over it!

The pool areas are great, plenty of sun loungers and great pool bars with a good drinks and snack selection. You do pay extra for cocktails these aren’t on all inc but it’s only about €3 for them and they are lovely! I loved that they don’t open the pool areas till about 9:30am as this stops people coming down at 6/7am to reserve beds. It takes some of the rush and pressure off.

Can’t understand people moaning about paying for beach/pool towels, there are lots of supermarkets close by that sell beach towels for €7-10 just buy one instead of paying €4 a time or bring your own with you.

Food again was fine for me. Nothing amazing but you get what you pay for, it is typical all inclusive buffet food. I really enjoyed lunch times they always had nice things. Chips, burgers, fresh cooked fish, onion rings, pizza some days, nachos with toppings, battered fish, chicken breasts, huge fresh salad selection, cold meats and bread etc. Breakfast was good too. Not sure about evening meal as i only ate in once, i chose to venture out every other night. I really liked that bottled water and crisp were all available on the all inclusive at the pool bar too.

The staff are really pleasant especially the pool bar staff, really chatty and welcoming!

The hotel is in a brilliant location right on the sea front, lots of little souvenir shops and supermarkets on the same road, lovely restaurants close by too. You must try the Indian restaurant next to the hotel called “Indian Taj” it was the best meal i had. Fresh piping hot food, a huge menu and one of the best curry dishes I’ve had, I’ll miss that place.

Overall my only niggles/downsides to this hotel were the noise at night and early morning of the doors slamming, night time entertainment isn’t every night seems to be every other night which was a shame and would have liked wine and prosecco on the drinks menu, they didn’t have it at all not even available to pay for, which was a shame as that’s what i like to drink on a holiday.

Hotel Review

The hotel was beautiful, we really enjoyed our stay, but there are definitely some things that could be improved:

At the reception, it would have been nice if they told us that we would need the card we received for drinks (that way we would have taken one each right away).

Charging for towels, the luggage scale and the safe felt a bit unusual.

It’s a pity there aren’t a few parking spots. Luckily, there was a parking lot nearby, so it wasn’t a big problem, but it would definitely be a plus if the hotel had some spaces available.

The food was good, quite a big selection, but it was a bit inconvenient that the dishes weren’t labeled. Sometimes it wasn’t easy to tell what each meal was, and it’s a shame to put something on your plate that you then don’t eat and it ends up wasted. I think that’s not ideal both for the guests and for the hotel.

Our room on the first floor was a bit noisy because of the street – glass was being thrown out all the time and sometimes it was really loud. We also missed having some hooks to hang sweatshirts, for example, and especially a balcony to dry clothes.

These are things that could be improved, but overall I would definitely recommend the hotel and I’d be happy to come back again. Overall rating: 8/10

Emplacement au top, cala millor tres agréable. L'hotel est très agréable, une vue sur mer rêvée, le personnel aux petits soins et très pro. La petit déjeuner est vraiment complet, les autres repas sont de très bonnes qualités. Le SPA est très relaxant. En bref, mon prochain séjour a Majorque sera encore dans cet hôtel sans hésiter.

Eine wirklich schöne und moderne Unterkunft mit reichlich Auswahl an Essen und einem schönen Poolbereich. Das Spa-Angebot haben wir leider nicht genutzt, weshalb ich dies nicht bewerten kann.
Positiv ist ebenfalls die gute Klimaanlage auf den Zimmern sowie die Sauberkeit der Zimmer hervorzuheben. Mir persönlich hat der Ort Cala Millor nicht sonderlich gefallen, da es insgesamt ein doch sehr touristisch geprägter Ort mit kulinarisch eher durchschnittlichen Angeboten ist, wofür das Hotel selbst natürlich nichts kann.
Ich würde mir vom Hotel lediglich wünschen, dass sie die Aufzüge besser einstellen lassen, sodass man nicht allzu lange auf diese warten muss.

A lovely hotel
Only issue was that I travelled with my daughter and we had to share a double bed luckily it was king size

Super gaaf hotel. Lekker eten en mooie kamer en heel vriendelijk personeel. Top!

Just arrived back from 10 days stay the Talayot , great location , clean . We had problems with the air conditioning when we first arrived , maintenance man looked at it and we were told it’s the best it’s going to get , it was hot in the room but we had to use ceiling fan too , it cooled down as week went on so it wasn’t an issue then , but if we had been there July /Aug I think it would of been unbearable in the room. Food was never hot only lukewarm, very repetitive, not labelled well or not at all ! So it was a guessing game !! It you suffer from any food allergies not very good !!! In my opinion thus hotel should be. 3 star . The bedding only got changed on day 8! Which again is not good enough! For a 4 star hotel! Nice touch of a bottle of cava left in room for my husbands birthday. Don’t think we will be returning as it should not be 4 star hotel, I’ve stayed in far nicer 4 star hotels

Hatten ein Zimmer mit Meerblick, war wunderbar. Essen war hervorragend, Qualität top, super lecker und abwechslungsreich. Für jeden was dabei. Alles top.

We were impressed with the friendly and accommodating staff and cleanliness of the hotel. Very comfortable bed. We had a junior suite and pleased that we did. My husband was given a bottle of cava as it was his birthday while we were there, a lovely gesture. Looking forward to our next visit.

Super Ausblick aufs Meer. Sehr ruhig. Zimmer super sauber, Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Bester Mann an der Bar war Gabriel. :)

Das Essen war gut und hatte eine angenehme Auswahl an Speisen.

Bei unserer Ankunft stellte sich heraus, dass es nur ein Zimmer mit Meerblick gab, obwohl wir 2 Zimmer reserviert hatten. An der Rezeption kam man uns sehr entgegen und gab uns ein Upgrade auf eine Suite und all inklusive für uns.

Wir würden jederzeit wieder dieses Hotel buchen.

Parkeren was heel moeilijk weinig parkeer plaats in de omgeving is een minpuntje voor de rest alles prima !

The hotel itself is lovely. Its in a great position, its right on the sea front, close to bars, restaurants and shops. The hotel was very clean the bedrooms are lovely and a good size. The staff are lovely so friendly and nothing is a bother to them. Gabriel the barman on the 1st floor is amazing, always smiling and works so hard. Unfortunately the food lets it down. Breakfast was good but lunch and dinner wasn't great it didn’t change much over the 10 days we were there and it wasn't labelled very well so guests weren't sure what everything was. We were all inclusive, the drink measures were huge we had to ask them to put less in, cocktails are not included and you had to pay a small supplement. We did enjoy our stay but the food let it down.

The staff at the hotel were very friendly and helpful. The room spotless and the balcony had beautiful sunrises. Lovely breakfast with a large selection. The hotel in general was kept beautifully clean. Thank you for a relaxing stay. We are planning to come back.

There was 8 of us that had been traveeling since earky hours. Arrived at the hotel around 11.30am. We were told that our All inclusive doesn't start until we get our room keys... absolutely disgusted as we explained that my father was diabetic and we just needed at least a drink. So had to venture out for lunch. Also on the day of your departure All inclusive ends at 12pm.
Never have i stayed at a hotel where this happens. Food is OK not a great deal. Safe is chargeable as are pool towels.

Being an adults only hotel our ages range between 40-60, we honestly found the hotel to be absolutely boring, any kind of noise we made we got glared at. No entertainment by the pool, or through the day. Don't get me wrong we don't want a party but a darts board or a pool table at least! Definitely dont recommend here if you're with a group of people.

Location is lovely, very central for everything. Rooms are also lovely. Definitely not a 4 star and what we paid for it was pricey. Small pools also. The bar shuts at 12am and you have to go up to your room. Spa closed the days we were here.

This hotel has so much more potential to improve. Glad we're only staying for 3 nights.

Won't be returning here.
Come if you want to be judged and glared at for having a good time and laughing and joking. Seems we need to be very quiet by the pool!

Lovely hotel, we were very lucky with our room sea view and wraparound balcony , food was ok you could always find something to your liking, breakfast could maybe do with a bit more of a change as just the same every day , Hafid was a great host and very friendly and professional making you feel welcomed 😊
