The view from our room at Nixe Palace offered a stunning view of the beach and a refreshing ocean breeze.

LOCATION: We sacrificed a more convenient location in Palma, so that we could be on the beach. This choice meant we had to take cabs into town each night for dinner. This was cumbersome after awhile since we were a party of six and needed two cabs and had to coordinate drop off spots. There are some places to eat near the hotel, but not comparable to the choices in Palma. The bus stop is a very short walk from the hotel and is good for day time trips to town. We did eat breakfast at some of the restaurants on our street, since we didn't want to pay for the pricey breakfast at the hotel.

STAFF: Friendly, and made some good dinner recommendations and were helpful with directing us to proper bus stops for shopping, etc. I would have appreciated more tour info at the desk.

ROOMS: The bed linens were crisp and smelled wonderful. For a European beach front hotel, the room was very spacious. Beautiful marble bathroom with plush robes and slippers. The balcony was comfortable to sit and enjoy the beach, read a book and have a drink. Very tastefully decorated in soothing neutral taupe and brown textures. Make up mirror is a plus, as well as a full length mirror and ample closet space. Room darkening drapes allowed us to sleep in. We never heard noise from outside or in the halls.

AMENITIES: There is a spa, a small heavily mirrored gym and an adequate pool. Food and drinks were pricey, so we had our own drinks in the room. Live piano music nightly in the beautiful marble lobby. Free internet, although there is only one computer available. The beach is a short hike a few flights down the hotel stairs. It is public, but chaises and umbrellas are available for rent. The ocean was very swimmable most days. Can get a little rough. There will be the smell of pot smoke on the beach, but nothing annoying.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay, but just remember if you are staying on the beach, you are making that choice and will have to take cabs or buses into downtown Palma. Happy Travels!

My wife and I stayed at the Hotel Nixe Palace for our honeymoon and had a wonderful time. We had a sea view room with a terrace and the hotel staff was very good to us. You can't beat the view. There isn't much in the area around the hotel but you can easily take the bus into Palma for more bars and restaurants.

I was very nervous after reading some of the negative reviews but I would disregard them because those people clearly have standards that will never be met.

We stayed 1 week in the Nixe Palace. The hotel has been completely renovated and the results are very beautiful ! Situation is ideal (5 min.by cab from Palma town) and just in front of the beach and sea. Choose a sea view room if possible, it's more than worth it ! The breakfast buffet is delicious and the terrace where you can take the breakfast is fantastic with very beautiful views. I highly recommend the Nixe Palace if you like the beach, the sea, clean and modern rooms and everything you expect of a 5-star hotel. The SPA is very professional, fitness room as well as the swimming pool is small. But that is the only minus. Staff and management are very friendly and helpful !

My wife and I have just had an absolutely gorgeous 5 nights at the Nixe Palace Hotel. We had paid for a sea view room, which I strongly recommend you do as waking up to the sound of the waves and the sight of the beach ‘waking up’ was truly special. Also, I suggest you opt for inclusive breakfast as it’s amazing…. A huge choice and champagne on the terrace every morning!!!! Having read some reviews we were a little concerned that the immediate area was going to be a bit ‘dodgy’ with nothing going on, but we were pleasantly surprised. OK, it’s certainly not what you would can upmarket but there was a reasonable choice of bars and restaurants within easy walking distance and everyone was friendly. However, should you will a more sophisticated outing and I’m sure you will both Palma and Portals Nous are a short cab ride away. We chose to use the bus when travelling into Palma as the stop was right outside the hotel and the service was excellent (only € 1.10 too). All in all highly recommended…..We will return!
