HOTELS

Just to let you know that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Sa Tanqueta and loved Fornalutx. It was exactly what we hoped for ( but better) and the setting was perfect.   It is a really charming village which we really took to.    It was our first visit to Mallorca and I’m sure that we will visit again in the future.

With very best wishes,

Service: 5
Food: breakfast 3.5

Holiday was really good thank you. Ratings for hotels below - first column is La Tanqueta Fornalutz, second Sa Coma Banyalbufar. Comments in blue.
Service: 5, 4
Food: 5,4
Cleanliness: 5, 5
Value for money: 4,4
Sleep quality:5,5

Would you recommend the hotel to a friend? Yes to both. 
Fornalutz was a great venue for both the village (shops and restauarants) and the mountain walking.
Banyalbufar also lovely with a bit less to do in and around the village but the seaside location was peaceful.  

Thanks

Again thanks for your help

We stayed (again) at Sa Tanqueta in Fornalutx and, as you know, at Jardi D'Arta

Service: ST- excellent J D'A also excellent except poor first impression, poor welcome
Food: ST only does an excellent breakfast. JD'A food excellent but pricey
Cleanliness: both excellent
Value for money: both expensive but worth it
Sleep quality: both good

Would you recommend the hotel to a friend? ST yes, JD'A not unless you don't mind a tiny pool area and very confined garden space with little chance of privacy. Fornalutx is a hugely pretty village with some really good restaurants. Arta is not so beautiful and although it has many restaurants the standard is more cafe/bistro style food.

Hi Henrik,

Sa Tanqueta

Beautiful Hotel, Beautiful location.

Son Bernadinet

The breakfast was outstanding.

Beautiful hotel with amazing outdoor facilities. Breakfast poor compared to the other hotels and dinner service was rather lacking.

Overall holiday was everything we could ask for. Thank-you Henrik. I will recommend you to all my friends and will be back in touch when we want to re visit Majorca.

Sa Tanqueta is a delightful apartment hotel in a lovely village . apartment are well furnished and with views of the mountains from the balcony and terrace what’s not to like.
Staff are wonderful  and Mabel the manager  can’t do enough to make your stay enjoyable. Special mention for Otto and lady who waits at breakfast whose name sadly we didn’t get whose friendly and efficient service was outstanding

How would you rate the following from 1-5 where 5 is the best rating:

Service:5+
Food:5+
Cleanliness:5+
Value for money: hard to judge
Sleep quality:5+

Would you recommend the hotel to a friend? Yes

We had a lovely holiday thank you. All three hotels were fabulously in their own way offering different experiences, so thank you for suggesting trying more than one hotel. 

All staff were super friendly, all hotels were really clean. 

We will definitely travel back to Majorca in the near future and just hope we pick a time with more favourable weather.

If you’d like a more hotel focused opinion please send emails for each hotel. But, I think I’ve covered them well above.

Kind regards

Perfect location with amazing views of the surrounding mountains. Perfect for walking into the centre and exploring the beautiful village. Also great for exploding the trails and footpaths surrounding the village. 
Our suite was comfortable, with its own outdoor space.

Hi Henrik

We had a wonderful trip and loved El Encinar and Sa Tanqueta. 

Thank you for all your help in arranging the trip. 

Kind regards.

Hi Henrik

It was good to talk to you today. 
We had a great time at Sa Tanqueta and I think Fornalutx is probably one of the most beautiful villages I’ve been to - just as you said. 
You asked for our rating as follows:

Service 5
Food 3
Cleanliness 5
Value 4
Sleep 4

We only had one breakfast so it is hard to rate the food.  I think it is a little on the expensive side, but I guess we are paying for that wonderful view . 
I would definitely recommend the hotel to a friend .

Thank you

Hi Henrik

Sa Tanqueta was perfect - exactly what we like! The manager and staff were charming and helpful. We had breakfast which was very good (particularly the fresh orange juice). The views from our private terrace are spectacular and the apartment itself was stylish and very comfortable. The setting is stunning isn’t it? All in all it was a fantastic few days. We enjoyed FOrnlutx and I had booked a fantastic restaurant weeks ahead & the other evenings we ate well.  Rural Hotels and you particularly Henrik were incredibly efficient and helpful ! Thank you Henrik!

I would rate 5 for everything. 

We don’t have a trip advisor account (don’t think so anyway - if Martin has one we can put a quote in and happy to mention you - very efficient & helpful!!) but I am very happy for you to quote me as above 

Best wishes

You really need a car to stay here. Otherwise you have to eat in the evening at the hotel But the taxi service we used was extremely quick and reliable.

Lovely attentive staff in both and we enjpyed chatting to the owner of SC  who was on site most of the time.

Many thanks

Hi Hendrix

We had a lovely time at Son Cardaix and would definitely recommend or even return …

Service: 5
Food: 5
Cleanliness: 5
Value for money: 4
Sleep quality:4

The reasons for the 4s are .. it does work out more expensive than a Villa and the 2nd bed downstairs was lumpy and uncomfortable.

A couple of suggestions , firstly regarding drinking water . This was not always available especially when no staff around .. A large dispensar in the foyer or dining room at all times would have been good …
Also again re tea  and coffee .. good when staff around but not really available otherwise.

However neither of rhe above would prevent me staying there again . All the staff were super friendly and efficient. The food was super fresh and local and value for money .
Really enjoyed it

We will be booking Sa Tanqueta when we can see flights etc ,, I assume the quote you sent is for the Appartment and therefore if we have a 4th person it will be the same price ?
