Read the praise for the HM Jaime III. It is as it is. This is a functional contemporary Palma city hotel, near everything. We came for a wedding and the wedding bus station was around the corner; even the airport bus is on the corner. We spent 3 days at the Jaime III in a balcony room overlooking the park below.
As others before us have, we commend all their staff. A special mention to Esperanza, who is so efficient and human (saw her bring a balloon to a small child!), as she worked the morning and afternoon shifts in the popular hotel restaurant. And to Mel who received us and whose bubbly personality and her “let me help you with that” was there since we arrived and who for all three days with a big smile guided us so to enjoy the facilities of the hotel and her city.
We saw the Cathedral, including the terraces, the Bellver Castle (with the Hop on, Hop off ticket), and the next day we walked to the Es Baluard contemporary art museum and took the bus to the Fundacion Miro, the Joan Miro workshop. It was a great time for shopping (late July). Our hotel was in the middle of hundreds of great shops many with clearance sales, but this time we were not into that mode, maybe next time. Palma was hot, very hot, but it was a wonderful stay.
