My/Our Holiday Opinion: 

The day we arrived there, we discovered the hotel had over booked so we had to lug our cases down a fairly steep hill to a hotel they put us up in down the road.
however when we got back to the hawaii it was a great place, with great people and great food. There was always someone on the main desk watching the hotel so it was very secure.

The pool was really nice and clean- theres a kids club for families 2!
magaluf was great- definately go to the wild foam parties at BCM- theyre not 1 to miss!
also, theres a reverse bunjee u have to go on after a few beers to give you the courage to do it.
im going back this year and can't wait....

My/Our Holiday Opinion: 

The hotel Hawaii has an envious location right on the seafront.  The views are absolutely fantastic (make sure when you pay for a seaview, you request the lower floors) we were on the 2nd floor.  You may think itll be noisy during the night but you are tucked away from all the discos and pubs.  The odd drunken lads will go by because everyone thinks that they can get around the hotel but realise its a dead end.

The one thing I would strongly suggest is to get a safety deposit box straight away.  Our room was broken in to and we were robbed within 4 hours of arriving at the hotel.  Only cash was taken,no valuables at all.  You will soon realise that around the pool anyone can enter the vacinity.  Keep all your belongings with you!!!!!

The kids aren't very well catered for.  The buffett was very repetative.  Hardly any change, but edible.

It a shame about the security and the food because we really enjoyed our stay and the room was very spacious and well cleaned.

Overall, the hotel staff are very friendly, receptionists offer sweets to the kids and the restaurant staff are always smiling.

The hotel is on a hill, so dont worry about burning off some excess calories!!!

My/Our Holiday Opinion: 

What a fantastic time we have just had at the Hawiii Hotel, After reading the review I was a bit worried about going.  We went May half term week and had the best holiday we have ever been on.  

The food was great and I am extremely fussy so if I was full then so will you be, there was something plain at every meal.  The entertainment staff were fantastic especially Dennis who was so funny and made our holiday.  The hotel is directly on the beach and so close to the resort centre, it was fab.  I must add the pool bar staff were a bit miserable.  On several occasions I asked for diet coke as our daughter is dibaetic this is a must for her, and they gave me normal coke, luckily we had a meter to test this.  

I would definately recommended this hotel and we will be going back.

My/Our Holiday Opinion: 

Hello. This hotel is more like full board with free drink, you have to pay for ice creams ect by the pool. The hotel is up a steep bank (not to bad) and has got 20 or so steps up to the hotel. the rooms are just rooms with bath shower ect, they have air con and good balcony doors,2 lifts and 8 floors, if you want a good view you need to be on floor 4 up.

The food is the same with pork,beef,hake, & chckin. and chips for the kids with 1 chose.the pool is down 20 or so steps from the hotel cross a private road and 20 or so more steps, the pool is ok but the tiles around the pool are missing or comeing up so take care on your 1st day, sun beds are no problem there were 6 of us and we always got 6 together even at 9o clock. 

PLEASE NOTE due to the bank and the steps if you need help in walking it will be hard work.Night life is 3 mins walk away (The strip) it goes on till 6am, (with the balconey doors shut you can not hear any sound at all) so if you fancy a early night you have got no problem in sleeping. Have fun.

My/Our Holiday Opinion: 

Hotel central for either Magaluf or Palma Nova. Up steep hill not suitable for elderly or disabled. Requested a room with sea view allocated room at rear & on kitchen roof with view of neighbouring flats. Rooms badly in need of refurbishment. Staff polite & obliging. On site entertainment poor. 

Food very basic and little choice. Many younger guests resulting in disturbances and shouting & swearing,day & night with no regard for other guests. Corridors uncarpeted which adds to the noise. Most doors appear to have been kicked in & badly repaired. Would not stay at this hotel again but would return to the resorts. Both Palma Nova & Magaluf have very good beaches and plenty of shops and bars/restaurants to suit all ages.

I have been to Magalluf 4 times now and have always stayed at the hotel hawaii but this hotel was a very good substitute.

It is situated right in the heart of all the night life and has nice views from most balcolnies. The food is ok you can always find something to your taste and the all inclusive drinks save you loads even if you do just have a few and then go up the strip! I havent got a bad word to say about the hotel and we had a really good holiday. 

One thing i would like to warn someone who is thinking of booking a holiday here is watch out for a company called Toscana tours who run an excursion company. The price of these trips are quite cheap and it is tempting to book them but what they dont tell you is that they take you in to the middle of nowhere for over two hours and you have no choice than to sit listening to sales patter about bedding and matresses! hardly what you want on holiday! what a waste of sunshine! The trip after it was nice but rather hurried due to the time wasted at the blanket factory, Anyway you have been warned! Avoid Toscana tours and pay the full price its worth it in the long run! Have a good time in Magalluf I always do its great!

hi we went for 2 weeks and loved are stay when we first arrived the reception was very ruud. we went to are rooms they were very basic but we was not to bothered as you only sleep in it the rooms were clean and tidy but needed updating.we were on the 6 floore facing the sling shot which was amazing to watch.

in the day there were so much activities the entertainers sonya and george were excellant my best activity was water polo or you could call it water fightig no rules anything goes which made it moer fun except for the scratches lol we met ten other couples so there was a very big crowd of us the entertainment was inside so we dint reallly watch it we all sat out side playin drinking games and getting hammered the two young bar men were great giving us leathfull shots everytime we went to the bar which shut at 12 am but wen it was last orders we stocked up ldz on booze once the booze was drank we headed down to the main strip the clubs were absolutely  awsome because there was a big crowd we got so much booze free one time we got 24 shots of aftershock for free we always got to bed at 6.30 am so we felt like crap in the morning but after a very good english breakfast we were fine

the food was very nice but similer I WOULD TELL YOU TO BOOK THIS RESORT AS IT IS AMAZING AND VERY SUITED FOR P HEADS IF YOU DONT YOU WILL MISS OUT

My/Our Holiday Opinion: 

just got back from magaluf and it was fantastic!!  was our first girly holiday and we had no problems at all.

saw quite a few families staying at our hotel, but i think maga's more for younger people who want to be out clubbing all night and sleeping off hangovers on the beach!

we organised most of our nights out through our fantastic rep, jamie, and heatwave at the start of the week so we had stuff planned every night!  and even if you decide to organise stuff yourself there's plenty of places to go at night.  but i reckon you'll have more of a laugh going out with the reps cos you go to the best places and get great deals!  got free bars for a couple of hours most nights and enjoyed lots of drinking games.  would reccommend BCM's - it's absolutely massive, carwash and boomerangs was alrite on the popcorn party night.  

we didn't see pirates uncut which everyone was going on about and saying how amazing it is cos we ran out of money but we'll def see it next time.  and watch out - some of the PRs can be creeps but some of them are alrite and offer some decent deals, you get used to them after a while and can be quite funny sometimes.

not a lot to do during the day but we weren't too fussed as we just sunbathed either on the beach or by the pool.  there are waterparks nearby though, but we were running out of money!

we were staying at honolulu as all inclusive guests so we didn't have to worry about starving or having no alcohol.  the food was good, but a bit repetitive.  the barmen were the best and made amazing cocktails!!  the hotel was clean as the maids visit your rooms everyday if you get out of bed in time, unlike us!!  also, the hill really isn't as bad as everyone says, it's a bit of a mission but not too bad!

we had an amazing time in magaluf, we met tonnes of people and we're planning on going back next year!  but bring plenty of spending money even if your all inclusive and be prepared to get wasted every night!!

The hotel is clean and tidy and the staff are friendly.  The food in the restaurant was excellent, the variety and the quality and quantity of food available was very, very good, the best we have ever experienced in any Spanish hotel.  You would need to be very fussy to not find anything suitable to eat.  The one drawback was the lack of sunbeds, and the time you had to get up in the morning to reserve a bed, before 7 o'clock.  I found that ridiculous, but you felt you had no other choice, other than to join the other people doing the same thing.  What annoyed me was the people who reserved beds and then didn't arrive down to their beds until 3 or 4 o'clock.   

It would be nice if a little bit of money could be spent on refurbishment of the hotel rooms to make them more modern, but overall, it was a good holiday, and we would certainly go back.

My/Our Holiday Opinion: 

LOCATION

Its right what every one has been sayin, yes it is up quite a big hill to the hotel!! But come on you need that hill after eating all that lovely food (haha) no one wants to go back putting on too much weight do they!! The hill can be a killer in the 1st few days but you get used 2 it after a few days. We got dropped off at the top of the hill but theres still quite a few stairs to climb up but a lad carried mine up for me, bless him!! 

FOOD

The food is really good but can be cold if you go down for your meals too late. There is a good variety but if you are there for two weeks meals do seem to repeat in the second week. There is always a variety of different meats. Theres always fish served (usually hake). You can help yourself to as much soft drinks as you want. The restaurant is open all the time well until after your evening meal. The restaurant shuts at 9 and then there is sandwhiches in the bar until 12 which you can help yourself to.

NIGHT LIFE

Theres only one word for this .... AMAZING!! Magaluf wakes up at about 12am when everyone starts going out and sleeps through the day. We had a drink in the hotel and then went out about half 11-12ish and it was just getting lively!! Was fab!!

THE HOTEL ITSELF

The hotels in a good location and is very clean. The maids come into your room every day and change your bedding every couple of days and your towels every day. The hotel is quite basic but is very clean. The pool is always very busy and hard to get a sunbed but people get up and put their towels on their sunbeds early in the morning eventhough they aren't meant to. When i was at the hotel there was lots of families there and also lots off groups of young lads and young lasses so it seemed to suit everyone.

ENTERTAINMENT

The kids entertainers are lovely and are just about always in the hotel from about 10am until 12am!! Theres always different activities on for the children and water polo on every day for all ages ... usually the adults playing it not the kids. The night entertainment is quite good always something different on every night. The quiz, Mr Honolulu and boys V girls were my fave!! But there is something on to suit every one! I would say this is the best hotel for entertainment i have ever been to.

ALL INCLUSIVE

When you first arrive at the hotel you get bands which you can't take off for the 2 weeks you are there. Blue for under 18 year olds and cream for the adults. I was 17 and got given a blue band eventhough we paid adult prices but other people who came on different days (when different people were on reception) got adult bands eventhough they were 15 and 16 so we weren't happy with that but we found bands which people had taken off when they left and took them to reception and said they'd fallen off and they replaced them with new cream bands ... so it didn't really matter that we were given blue bands at the beginning of the holiday.

HOLIDAY OVERALL

We had such an amazing time we have already been looking to book up for next year ... to the same destination and also the same hotel. If we hadn't of been all inclusive this year i don't think we would have ate just drank therefore it was good for us. This hotel is great value for money. The location of the hotel itself is amazing right in the middle of 2 beaches ... palma nova and magaluf!! The shops aren't that far away neither!! It was such an amazing holiday!! If anyone has half the good time we had it they will still love it!! Cant wait until next year!! Hope everyone has a lovely time x

My/Our Holiday Opinion: 

First of the hill its massive and quite steep, dont under estimate it, also you have to drag your suitcases up the stairs with no help at all! I suggested them installing a ramp but they properly wont.

The room was very basic and the air con was by the door! Which was dirty and did nothing at all, bathroom was nice shower was a bit tempramental went hot then cold, not nice when you have sun burn! Room was at the back of the hotel infront of the most noisest hotel (apart from ours) who played music and shouted at all times of the day. I know how to have a good time but you have to give it a rest after a while! Most people had no respect for anyone, just ask the couple in the room next to us!

I recommend BCM to the ones who love to party 25 euros and its a free bar which is well worth the money! Different music in both rooms and they normally have a DJ on every night!

Only went to the beach once, it seemed nice but as me and my friend don't like beachs we didnt go again.

Food was ok, my friend is a veggie and the veggie option was good everytime. Look out for 'Smiler' the waitress in there she never smiled the whole time we where there.

The pool was cold but nice especially as it was hot, but i am sure it carries more germs then the animals over there!

I do recommend this hotel, but just go with open minds reading the reviews everyone has mixed views. I dont recommed it for familes in peak season the things i heard and saw on top of the ledge below us explains a lot!

My/Our Holiday Opinion: 

The hotel is not only built on a hill but has 30 steps up to the entrance,staff were very scarce and unhelpful especially the restaurant clearer-ups as that was all they did,not nice trying to eat when they are scraping slops into a bin at the side of your table,food was attrocious it got that cold that  they supply a microwave on the servery to heat up reheats that had been left from earlier sittings,if you are not all-inclusive you only get water to drink with your meal.

The rooms were worst than basic,don't expect clean bedding during your stay,if your lucky the towels get changed every other day,beds very old, very uncomfortable,furniture very old.

The airtours rep is very unhelpful as well claiming nobody complained to her about the hotel,but when we asked other guests most all had complained.
I would not stay at this hotel again even for free

My/Our Holiday Opinion: 

If you are looking for a family holiday do not go to this hotel.  This hotel is 18-30's. I am a single parent with an 8 year old daugter and we looking forward to a family break.  Turned out to be My Holiday From Hell.

This hotel is not in Palma it is right next to Magaluf and it is very busy and loud
There were sexual activies on the balconies and in the pool.  Drinking at the pool started from 10am and goes on all day then they get in the pool drunk.  My daughter was shouted at for splashing young girls sat round the edge of the pool drinking and smoking.

The air conditioning is not cool enough in the rooms.  There are cochroaches in the rooms also. Everything kept breaking down, lifts everyday at some point.  The electric in the room, only 2 points worked and one was in the bathroom.  They dont rush to fix anything.
Found the staff rude and not very helpful.
Our rep was a complete waste of time.
There are large machines on each floor that sells bottled water and these were knocked over in the night, also kicked in and alarms set of.
Rooms were wrecked and doors were kicked in.  I did not get much sleep for the 2 weeks i was there, in fear that my door would be kicked in.

The only good point was that the food was ok and you could get away from the hotel by going to the beach.
The beaches are really nice and there are lots of places to eat and bars for a quiet drink.

Entertainment, the least said the better, was more for the children.The hotel was on a HILL (but there is a phone box half way up incase you need to phone an ambulance)(LOL).I would go back to this Hotel only if it was on the flat.

My/Our Holiday Opinion: 

The hotel is close to bars, shops and beach.
Hotel not recommended for the elderly or infirm due to being up a steep hill then a steep staircase of up to 30 steps (although there is a small disabled platform lift that doesn't look safe).
The bed rooms are in desperate need of refurbishment it appears that they have not been touched since my last visit around 17 years ago.
The cleanliness of the bed rooms also needs to be improved with dust on the dressing table surface.  Not to mention the dried vomit stained balcony wall (left by previous visitors). Also the broken casters on the beds and rickety head board falling off the wall.
May be we were allocated the worst room in the hotel (who knows) just keep away from the dreaded room 110.
Regarding the television do not spend £20 euros deposit for the remote cause you can operate the TV manually any way for what use it is a the only English speaking channels are BBC World and CNN (American news).
The air conditioning was not up to much either with the outlet being dirty.

The corridor is uncarpeted meaning that the sound echo's especially during the night with the slamming of the doors. Shouting and foot steps.

Any way on a brighter side
Most of the staff  were friendly
The bar queues (if at all) were fast moving, Beer brand was San Miguel and soft drinks were Original Coca cola and Fanta.

No major complaints about the food (standard all inclusive)

Great news 
New Spanish rulings Smoking is only limited to certain areas leaving most of the hotel Smoke Free this should apply to all hotels.

The evening entertainment was great with a wide variety of shows incl Parrot's Plate spinning also the Grease Show with most the cast being holiday makers and I give them praise for what they put into it.
With bingo and top prises of more than 200 euros.

The entertainment team work hard every day and night.

The only let down of the hotel was the standard of the bed rooms.

No customer satisfaction questionnaires from either the hotel or Direct Holidays.

But all in all an enjoyable holiday

We Have just got back from 2 weeks at the hotel honolulu,It was our first time all inclusive,we were very impressed,the food was varied and they catered for everyone,plenty of english food,staff were very friendly,rooms were basic but clean,clean towels every day.we were on the 8th floor,but there were lifts,so no problem,although a little clausdraphobic if more than 4 people,we were at the back of the hotel so we heard nothing,the entertainment was for kids,but that did not bother us because we met some lovely people,we spent all our evenings on the terrace,which was very entertaining with the slingshot, which is right next to the hotel,

We was not very impressed with our arrival at the hotel,the coach dropped us off at the bottom of the second hill,we were told by our rep that the coach could not get up to the hotel because the road was to narrow,this was a lie,every other coach dropped off there guests right outside the hotel,We pulled our suitcases up 2 hills plus there were 24 steps up to the hotel,We are very grateful to the young couple  from Liverpool, the young lad carried our cases up the steps.[Thank You.]

They did have some pr*ts in the hotel,some idiot dropped a pear of the balcony just missing the people that was sitting underneath,it was frightening because if it had have hit anyone it could have really injured them,it was obviously from one of the higher balconies.we never had any bother personally.

We hope to return to the Honolulu next year,Anyone staying there get a taxi,we went back to the airport in a taxi,20 minutes,pick you up on time,right outside your hotel,carry your bags,and it only cost 28 euros,which is about £21,well worth it,coach transfer 1-30minutes plus.

What a fantastic holiday.Me an my boyfriend went the first week of June. After reading all the reviews I was dreading the holiday. But being in that frame of mind when we actually got there it was better than I hoped it would be. The rooms were basic but very clean, our bathroom was nice an clean, was quite posh really! There were towels an soap provided, there was a bath/shower an even a bidet!!

The view was brilliant from our balcony, the slingshot was located in front of the hotel which was fun to watch an also the pool an beach was in view.

about the food, I thought it was really nice. You got so much choice, the had the usual chips an that for the kids everyday but they also had all sorts of veg, meat, they had loads of salad, different soups, bread rolls, they do a lovely piela, an loads of choices of deserts which included ice cream.
For breakfast you could choose from a good old english breakfast, toast, croissants, cereals, fruit, basically there was a choice for everyone, we only ate out once an that was on our last night.

They put on entertainment day an night, an bingo which was a good laugh. The hotel is more for families but still ideal for young ones, the strip is 5 min walk, the same as beach too, its in the perfect location.

If your going, I hope you have as gooder time as I did!

My/Our Holiday Opinion: 

My friend and i aged 25 really looked forward to an all inclusive holiday in Magauluf.  We thought the hotel would offer great food and a fair choice of alcholic drinks.  It was early June the hotel was full of families,which wasnt the problem, but we've been to maguluf in peak season which was 100% times better its worth while paying the extra to go in July/August, June is far to quiet for our age group and the hotel is diffinately was not our cup of tea.  The food was poor, it was a buffet self service and the same food that was available for lunch was the same at dinner time.   Basically, all we ate was chips, bread and butter. In fact, i would say school dinners in britain are far better.  Now i understand why the Spanish people have such great figures. 

There was a small amount of alcholic drinks available such local gin, whiskey, san migel and one type of wine which was rotten and cocktails.  Other drinks were available which you had to pay for. The entertainment was also poor.  No way would i go back to this hotel and certainly wouldn't pay £1,000 odds for a holiday here.  Its actually put me off going all inclusive anywhere again, and speaking to people around the pool side everyone was of the same mind.

Just returned yesterday from Magaluf for my stag weekend.
We have no problems what so-ever with the hotel. Lots of hen and stag parties at the hotel, so was very lively. The drinks were flowing constantly and the food was great. We took up the whole 9th floow (as there were only 3 rooms on it)It is right opposite the Magaluf sling show which is only 12.50 Euros at this time of year. Easy access to Magaluf or Palma Nova. Check out Eastenders pub, the food is great and their Vodka Jelly is lethal. Lots of bar opffers on at this time of year so do a little bit of haggling with the pr's for a better deal.

My/Our Holiday Opinion: 

Me and my brother Stevie went to this hotel on 26/03/05 for a week it was one of the best all inclusive hotels I have stayed at 

we arrived at 12 oclock at night and were allocated a room that was unsuitable to say the least we were told as it was so late could we keep it until the morning it would be changed the next day we saw the airtours rep Tony who promptly arranged a transfer to a room overlooking the pool.

The rooms were kept spottlesly clean as was the rest of the hotel We went for breakfast it was excellent as were all the meals plenty of choice for everybody including vegies and children next try was the bar again excellent unless you want small measures that is the bar staff dont know how to bend their arms and just keep pouring and you are not limited to 2 drinks per person as in most AI hotels the snacks at night are usually sandwiches and pitza but this is ok as you are well filled up after dinner the entertainment during the day is very good with the compair Debbie trying to involve everbody in the games pool mini golf archery darts there was also an adults bar that doubled as a tv room where you could see sky tv and have a quiet drink the entertainment in the main bar was ok but it catered mainly for kids I think this was probably because it was easter.

We met some nice people on this holiday Sam the certificate man Dendo.Colin,and Tony from Hartlepool me and stevie realy enjoyed our holiday and we would definatelly go back to this hotel Just a note to finish I like a previos holidamaker have a heart condition and have no problem with the hill I was up und down about 4-5 times a day with no ill efects.

My/Our Holiday Opinion: 

we have just come back from hotel honolulu, and we will not go again, my husband is still very ill,and we think it was the heating system, it made us both dry and we had a sore throat as soon as we turned it on so be carefull, 

the food was very good, entertainment first night really good but went downhill from there, the entertainment staff (if you want to call him that) was very annoying and silly ive seen children act more normal we all wanted to throttle him, he was brought over from the dominican rebublic to liven the place up but i for one wish they hadnt bothered.

the rooms were clean and staff were great(cleaning staff) and the hill well we found out why they called it cardiac hill, it is very steep and there are also 24 steps after the hill so my husband who has a heart condition was stuck, we had to carry our suitcases up these stairs and if we had been told just how steep they were we would never have gone, they are a killer, and so by the way is the water in the pool, freezing cold and never once did i see it cleaned it never smelt of chlorine at all and wasnt filtered so be careful, a lot of ear, nose, and throat infections around, 

we are so disapointed in our holiday we need a holiday to get over it. oh and we never got any sleep its full of lager louts and no one cares how much noise they make day or night,not like tenerife they have controlled police around making sure people dont have to listen to it alll night and through the early hours it was indeed a nightmare.

My/Our Holiday Opinion: 

We booked this holiday on the internet (Ebay) at very short notice so of course we knew it would be "allocated on arrival", although we did contact Thomson and ask if we could be placed in a quiet area and hotel. We wanted a nice restful holiday.  NOT in this hotel.  It seems to be the favourite location for "Alcholholics are us",the ignorant brigade, and the sewer mouth club.  We have seldom seen so many low lifes in one place.  They were in the bar from 9a.m. until closing, a.m. the following day, and then seemed to spend the rest of the time shouting obsenities up and down the corridors outside the rooms.

The food was edible and that was ALL. The chef??? had absoloutely no idea, raw bacon, burgers, beans with everything. The hill and the steps up to the hotel were very steep, and NOT suitable for any one above 60.  Thomson have again given the impression that they don't care about their clients but only about their clients money. The towns of Palma Nova and Magaluf are definitely unsuitable for any one with a brain or above the age of 25.  Thomsons you MUST try harder, Oh and tell Brittania Airlines we are not sardines.

My/Our Holiday Opinion: 

I booked this holiday for a good week away with my friends to go clubbing.  The best part of the hotel is where it is situated, if you are wanting to get a hotel in the middle of the action it is good.

Now down to the bad points, the food is AWFULL!!!! I have been on over 12 all inclusive holidays and this one is by far the worst.  There is no variety at all and the food wasn't even hot.  Every night i found it difficult to eat anything apart from chips, I was quite surprised that this hotel was a 3 star. The poolside is quite shabby and the bar staff are creepy, really sleezy! 

The rooms are not the best but are ok, but you have to hunt to find a plug socket. 

I do not advise you to go to this hotel, but Magaluf is great and i would recommend going there if you enjoy going clubbing.

HOTEL LOCATION:-on a steep hill, then you have about 20 steps to get you up to hotel, 1 lift but is always broke.
LOCATION TO SHOPE ETC:- exellent as you right in the middle of everything, beach 5 mins.
BEACH:- fantastic best beaches anywhere.
FOOD:- not the worst, but food does get cold quick.only wine with meals no beer.
ENTERTAINMENT:- kids ok, adults cr*p.

My/Our Holiday Opinion: 

we have just come back from an amazing 11 nights stay. And we loved every minute of it and didnt want to come back home.
the weather was fab.

the hotel is in a great location (despite the hill that u get)there is everything that u want at the hotel lots of things to do.

The hotel staff were brill, they couldnt do enough for you and they was amazing with the kiddies, especially the ones thats in the dining area.

Very good entertainment always somthing on, but to be honest when we was there they didnt do disco for kiddies everynight but they did other things to keep themselves amused,just watch out for martin one of the entertainers he likes to rip people to bits about their age when doing bigo but its in a funny kind of way, you have to take it with a pinch of salt. And then you get vinnie doing the stupid noises when you questions wrong by doing quiz's and things things like that.

For all you DRINKERS out there if you like your beer then this is the place for you, they give you very good drinks (large amounts) my feller went to bar and asked for a whiskey instead of a shot he got half pint glass full!!!!

The food at the hotel was great i can safely say that i went up for 2nds every time it was lovely.

The human sling shot was very amusing to watch at night when you get all the drunks going on it and having the living daylighs taken out of them,if people say that its keeps you awake at night then dont believe them, you cant hear it. well we didint anyway, and neither did the kids and they are light sleepers.

just beware of the pool as it sooooooooo cold, so we went to beach everyday which was great, the best beach that we found was the one behind the santa lucia it was alot less crowded and there was plenty of beds for everyone. And go on the banana boat at that beach he loves throwing you all off many of times.

i can safely say that i will be going back there next year for definate.

if you do go then enjoy yourselves as much as what we did.

My/Our Holiday Opinion: 

The Hotel Honolulu is in an excellent location - although the short but steep hill to it is a bit of a trek when you are coming in from a night out clubbing. This followed by the 16 or so steps up to the front doors of the hotel is daunting - and then to find that the two lifts (very very small - max occupcy of 4 people) have a long queue, so end up walking up to the 8th floor (where our rooms were) was mad!!

The hotel itself is clean and tidy and the maid service is good, clean towels every day.

The view from our balconies on the 8th floor was fantastic.

The food was not to our taste - and we lived most of the week on bread rolls and chips, but to be fair we went all inclusive for the alcohol and there was plenty of that. Try the cocktails that Jesus serves in the bar (we worked our way thru plenty of the s*x on the beach ones).

The bar gets very busy in the evenings (we used to start off in the hotel bar til about 12 before going down to the strip). You need to be in there for 7 to get a table really.

We didn't have a problem getting loungers by the pool - although the sun moves round in late afternoon - this is the time to move to the outside terrace part of the bar which is a real sun trap.

The bars and clubs are excellent in the resort. So cheap compared to places like Tenerife. The best ones I can recommend are bananas and boomerangs - sister nightclubs on opposite sides of the strip - pay for one and get your hand stamped so you can go back and forth between the two all night without paying again.

BCM First Floor - get there at about 12 and pay 16euros for entry - this sounds expensive but it is then a free bar (the only drinks you pay for are budweiser and smirnoff ice which are a euro each). You can then gain free entry to the huge BCM club at the top of the strip and with a ticket they give you at the bar, get loads of cool free stuff which varies night to night dependant on theme. We got cowboy hats, beach umbrellas, t-shirts, tribal style jewellery, ruck sacks - is great.

Food is not something we really bothered with much on this holiday! Had burger king a couple of times - which was the standard thing.
If we missed breakfast at the hotel (which happened frequently), we headed just down the hill to Eastenders where a breakfast (with English sausages, bacon etc) set us back 3 euros each.

All in all I would go back to the Honolulu again - as I think it is a great base for a clubbing/pubbing holiday in Magaluf - maybe not so great for families as is noisy.

My/Our Holiday Opinion:

Went on holiday here from 22nd May to 29th May 2004.  After reading the reviews before I was a bit worried but I think the people that are moaning must have gone to a different place.  

The hotel was clean, the staff were pleasant (a few with a good sense of humour) the adult and kids entertainers worked hard and were spot on.The evening entertainment was fine and the variety and standard of food was excellent and with meal times and snacks you could practiacally all day.  Even at snack times you could get burgers, hot dogs, chips, salad etc.  

We walked to Pirates (an absolute must for anyone going to Majorca) and there are numerous water parks to choose from.  We went to western water park (about a 35 minute walk) and had an absolute ball.  We stayed from 10.15 a.m to 4.15 p.m. and didn't stop the whole time. There were shows for the kids to watch and you are spoilt for choice with different slides etc.  If you don't want to go out and about there are various activities throughout the day for kids and adults at the hotel (certificates for winners and the kids get a medal when they have won five certificates). 

The pool certainly isn't oversized but it's big enough to keep the kid's entertained.  If you don't want to sit by the pool or it is too busy then the beach is only five minutes away and it is one of the cleanest beaches i have seen.  I would certainly visit this hotel again.  The only thing I would point out is that if you have children that are light sleepers then in peak season you may be able to hear the noise from the bars in certain rooms but my children were that exhausted from all that there was to do during the day they slept through anything.  

Hope anyone going here enjoys it as much as we did.

Our week at the Honolulu was great. 

The all inclusive food was fab and so was food from the resort. The staff were super friendly and were there 24/7. The rooms were cleaned every day and were done very well. Entertaiment was ok if you like  spanish dancing or parrot shows.(goos for kids though!). Pool area was very clean but pool was sooooooo cold but the sea is only 5 minuites away. The only problen with its location was that it was on a slight hill but you can cope of a night but of a day its a bit tiring. 

All round this was one of the best of the many holidays I have ever had.

Stayed at the this all inclusive hotel for Two weeks the accommodation was good the food was excellant a wide variety to choose from the hotel also had food theme nights,mexician Italian ect.

Rooms very clean maid service everday.

The view from the room is probably the best I have seen overlooking the Bay.

The pool was cold probably the coldest I have ever been in.

The entertainment was basic.So spent a couple of nights out went to a place called Jive Bunnies just around the corner from the hotel it is a must to go.The music was good my era 70s, 80s and 90s there is a playstation for the Kids to play on that is free Darts, Pool that costs 1 euro.

Beware there is a hill to climb to get to the hotel and steps to go down to the pool area.If you go in peak season they will not be enough sunbeds to go around and ther is a Human sling shot about 50 yards from the Hotel which will be open until 4 o'clock so if you are a light sleeper be warned.

We had picked the wrong time to go as the Waterparks were closed god knows why we went for the Easter break you would of thought everthing would of been open.

We would  go back probably a week later to go to the waterparks.

A little bit worried ready the reviews before we went.Totally unfounded, the main problem is the hill be warned you will come back fitter than you went. 

Food generally good, we found lunch had a better selection than dinner. Best idea is have lunch & go out a few evenings -: lotus chinesse and Crusoe's bothe excellent. Can't understand where the grunpty staff comments came from, the maids were very polite as where waitresse and bar staff, be warned the measures are large and strong. Lovely pool but bery cold & the poolside toilets where clened almost hourly. Would say it would suit a family on abudget best. Go on enjoy

My/Our Holiday Opinion: 

Hotel Honolulu wasnt what we expected after reading the reviews, for what we paid we thought it was perfect you couldnt complain.  The staff were very nice, the food was good there was always something you could eat, the drink was good.  There was lots on other at the hotel if you didnt want to go to the restaurant there were snacks you could buy at a subsidised rate and if you like drinks like red bull and named brands like budweiser they were quite cheap.  

The pool was good but people do start putting towels out at 8 in the morning.  There are vending machines off water, chocholate and crisps for when you get in of a night and there was a shop open during the day.  There were no cockroaches and the hotel was clean.  The steps werent that bad but there is a short but step hill to the hotel, you get used to it.  The rooms were good the decoration was a bit dodgy but fine we had adjoining rooms which was handy and the views were gorgeous we could see palma nova beach and magaluf beach and part of the main strip.  The location is excellent.  

I would recommend this hotel if your looking to go to magaluf on a clubbing holiday definately.

We went to magaluf for a stag week in Aug 05.  Having been there before we knew exactly what to expext and we weren't dissappointed, the town is lively, clubs ar great and the beach is one of the best around.

We were met at the airport by an 18-30's rep who looked like she had been dragged through a bush backward.  We were then put through the who 18-30's talk about how we can have great fun with them if we spent 260 euro's.  There told us that if we didn't go with them then we would be throwing our money away... total rubbish.  Once you are out on the strip you get drinks thrown at you for free and it only cost 10 euro's to get into 5 different clubs all night!!

The apartment was poor.  It was small cramped and needed updating.  The shower decided how hot it wanted to be and the rooms were in serious need of air con. 

Overall Magaluf is a great party town, the beach is great and there is no excuse not to have a good time. Just would not recommend Inns apartments!!!!

we went to magaluf in june 2004 on our long awaited girls holiday. Magaluf is brilliant with music to suit every taste, our reps were brilliant and the nights out where even better we paid 150 euros for four nights out with them which we thought was a bit expensive but was well worth every penny. 

The hotel was basic but rooms where allways clean only got one hot shower each night with four girls getting ready every night was manic. pirates was the best night out because we were so drunk having contests on who could drink the jug of sangria fast enough. best place to eat was robinson crusoes on the front does the best steak ever. advise anyone to go for a great holiday. if going with 18-30 def go on the boose cruise a great day out but give the coach home a miss too much drink and sea doesn't mix well.

We later discovered quite a few bars were open and even funky monkey night club! Peter Crouch was also there when we were, even though i had to admitt i didn't know who he was! Had a wkd time! Although nowhere near as much open the places that are are still buzzin and are still open til 6 in the morn! Would definately go back to the kensington apartments again! Cheap and cheerful accommodation in the centre of Magaluf! What more do you want!?

My/Our Holiday Opinion: 

When we first arrived at the apartments we were suprised by the accomodation, the holiday hadn't cost us very much so we were nervous about the apartment. The apartment was basic but clean. Great for a few hours sleep and to get ready in (we weren't intending to stay in it much so it was gr8!! When we went out to the balcony we were a bit shocked to see the the entrance to BMC was sooo close. On the first night it was noisy however for the rest of the holiday if we hadn't been to BCM it provided us with lots of entertainment!!

The beach was gr8! Fave beach bar was Daquiri Palace selling frozen cocktails.
Fave places to go out at night were the square behind BCM especially Bobbys Tavern & Coyote Ugly, Bora Bora & of course BCM had a gr8 night when Trevor Nelson was there!!

Best places to eat out are definately in Palma Nova (5 euros taxi)theres a really nice Italian & Mexican just off the beach, in Magaluf the best are Bora Bora, Robinson Crusoe's (v.cool).

I think with any holiday its what you make of it & who you are with, we didn't have any dodgy experiences so all in all it was a fantastic holiday. Couldn't have asked for anymore. Definately go back again, even to apartments. Try not to stay above 3rd floor though as lifts are v.small & not very good!!!

My/Our Holiday Opinion: 

We went to Magalluf for a hen do and it was the perfect destination for this, lots of cheesy bars and lots of other hen and stag do's around.

We stayed in the Magaluf Playa. We were really worried about the accomodation as we'd read sucbad reviews and when we arrived we worried even more. There were a group of 8 or so blokes on a stag do outside the reception area who were shouting to get our attention, we were stood in reception for ages waiting for the key to our room and then they charged us a large deposit. We then had to squeeze 2 at a time in to te dogiest lift ever with our suitcases.

Once we got our rooms they were nowhere near as bad as we'd thought they were going to be. They were basic but clean enough and were only meant as abase to sleep in for a few hours a night anyway. Our balconys looked straight out on to BCM and although it was obviously noisy itwas quite buzzy and exciting being right in the centre of the activity. We started to get ready to go out straight away and unfortunately the tap came off of our bath and water was spurting everywhere, however we went down to reception and this was resolved straight away. We had 2 rooms four in each room and they were next door to each other which was good.

There are loads of really nice places to eat on the seafront, we went to Robinson Crusoes and Bora Bora, they were fantastic.

The beach was lovely and the weather was amazing.

Th reps are annoying when you are out at night, but you soon learn to walk straight past them as other wise you'd never get further than the bar outside your hotel! They all offer free drinks e.g. shots, cocktails and bottles ofbubbly - but you normally end up having to buy a round first to get the freebies, so only go in if the place looks good or you'll gt stuck there ages.

I would definitely recommend Magaluf to young groups and Hen and Stag do's, but families would be better of staying in Palma Nova.

The Magaluf Playa is ok as long as you don't want much sleep! BCM kicks out at 6am and you can hear everyone coming out (as well as people coming and going from midnight onwards). Generally young groups stay in the magaluf playa and they are noisy all night long too.

It is a great fun place, but I don't think many people would be able to stay there longer than a week.

My/Our Holiday Opinion: 

11 of us went to the Magaluf Playa Apartments for a hen weekend in August 2005.  

After reading the reviews I was anxious at best at what awaited us at these apartments.  I'm glad to say the apartments were clean and functional. 4 of us to a room so I was dreading the 'pull out bed on the floor' but this too has been blown out of proportion.  The mattress was on a wooden base and was comfortable and the sheets were clean.  The only down side was the lack of cupboards and drawers for your clothes when there's 4 of you sharing the apartment. The bathroom was small but how long does it take you to shower? 
I've stayed in worse apartments where I've paid treble what we paid for this weekend - £40 each person for 3 nights! 

The only downside is the pool area - lots of rowdy lads drinking beer in the pool - so just stay away from it. We used the beach the whole time, which takes 5 minutes to get to.  BCM is right next door, and it's sound proof so you don't hear any music at all. Resort was fantastic, and loads of bars and restaurants within walking distance. Remember holidays are what you make them.

My/Our Holiday Opinion: Well, this was my 3rd time in Magaluf.  I absolutely love it there, everyone is so friendly!  I went at the end of September 2004 so we got to enjoy all the closing parties too which was wicked.

The apartments werent that great!  Me and my friend had the bedroom - not that we did much sleeping - and our other mate had the pull out bed thing in the living room.  We noticed as soon as he pulled it out that there was a suspicious stain on the bottom sheet - it looked like sick!  The curtains were filthy too, dont know why or how i noticed that!  Our room was infested with ants - and we were on 8th floor!  The bathroom wasnt big enough to swing a cat nevermind actually try and use it.  And the shower went boiling hot and trickling then freezing cold and came out in a big gush!  Not great when ur trying to get ready to go out.

The lifts were horrific!  We ended up walking most of the time as they kept breaking down or you got stuck in them - not that good when you have drunk about a gallon of vodka and ur heads spinning!

You were allowed to do pretty much what you wanted at these apartments although we did get told to be quiet one night as we were playing "refridgerator ball" but the security guy said he would let us carry on if me and my friend slept with him - needless to say we stopped playing!

Met some wicked people when we were there tho, the guys in the next apartment were great.

Location is good too, you cant hear anything from the BCM apart from when people come out but usually by that time if ur not joining them ur usually passed out anyway.  Close to the strip so u dont have to stagger back that far which is good.  Love Boomerangs! 

All the bars are great, Lord Nelsons is a good place to start ur night off.  And the 24/7 bar - which isnt actually open 24/7 - is good too!  The pool's nice although it did have a few bugs in it, i never saw them clean it the whole week I was there but we did find 100 euro at the bottom so that was good!

All in all a fantastic holiday, good location but horrible apartments.  Will definitely go back to Magaluf but not these apartments.

My/Our Holiday Opinion: 

Well wot can i say, Fantistic and that is the resort.  Bcm is right beside the Playa so it is easy to get back to your apartments in the wee small hours of the morning!!! the bars across from the Playa are also a great start out point before you hit the strip, which is only a two minute walk!!!

The playa was good, i had heard bad reports about it, but found none of them to be true.  The rooms are basic, and where clean, the housecleaning ladies do come round and leave you clean sheets and towels bout twice a week, i found that the only mess was the one we made. It's everything you need for a week or two week p1ss up, you can do basically anything you want and don't have anyone bothering you bout the noise or wot time you strole in at. The pool is a good size, and is cleaned daily.

Lord Nelsons bar which is attached to the complex is great, the booze is cheap, and the staff all speak english and are really friendly.  The Reps where fantistic and did do their upmost best to make our holiday enjoyable.

The beach is lovely, but do watch out for the people that try to sell you stuff cause they will rip you off big style!!

Please dont listen to the bad reports, if your not expecting to stay in the ritz then this is a good place to stay, its close to everything, i will deffently be staying there again!!!

Just Back from magaluf, and we stayed im the Magaluf Playa, all I can say is Amazing!!! We have just had the best holiday of our lifes!!! The resort is Fantastic!!! and the apartments where not bad either.

We came on this site to see what the reviews where like before we went out and the reviews where not that appealing about our accomodation, but when we got there we where very suprised to see that none of the bad reviews where true.

The apartments are clean but basic, everything you really need for a week or two week piss up. Just watch out for the lifts as they don't always work,but dont let that put you off. The pool is a good size and the staff are friendly and will do anything for you. Lord Nelsons bar, which is attached to complex is well cool, the booze is cheap, the food is great and the staff are even better!!! Tom Browns is not bad, they do a great fry up!!! The apartments are in a great location, it is literaly a 5 minute walk to the beach and the Strip (all the bars/clubs) and you won't have any problems with security guards when your rolling in at 6am cause you can come and go as you please!!! you can also play your music at a decent level.

The Reps are great this season, very friendly, are up for a good laugh and are great to go out with.

BCM is right next door,and it won't cause a problem with noice level cause it is a sound proof club!!!

I will definately be stayin there again!!!!

My/Our Holiday Opinion: 

We had an excellent holiday. Hotel had excellent location, just 5 minute walk from the strip and the beach. Watch out for the PRs outside every bar, and dont listen to a word they say-the deals arent very good. They say come in for one free drink, but fail to mention that everyone has to buy 3 drinks each first.

Recommend BCM (but go to Millenium beach downstairs-much better and included in the price). It cost us 20 euros to get in bcm and millenium, but that includes all drinks and you get loads of free stuff like t-shirts and flashing necklaces. Foam party was excellent there(1million gallons of foam!)

Would recommend the bar Chaneys which is directly opposite the hotel. Really cheap drinks, and the dj plays whatever songs you want straight away. This was the cheapest and friendliest bar we could find. Say hello to curly the dj!

We generally went to bed at 8am and got up at 2pm as no chance of sleeping at night-bcm is too noisy. We had to pay 35 euros each as a deposit for the room, which was quite small with basically no storage space! Our balcony was huge though. Spend lots of time on your balcony and you get to meet loads of great new people. Hotel surrounded by loads of other blocks of flats, so get to wave to them too.
