I stayed here expecting the vibrant, bohemian, and design-led experience that the Hyde and Mondrian brands usually promise. Instead, the hotel felt completely hollow, corporate, and soulless. It feels less like a thoughtfully designed lifestyle hotel and more like a generic, stark building with a few trendy pieces of furniture thrown in to check a box.
For the premium price tag, the constant monetization is exhausting. Absolutely everything is a paid extra—from the basic wellness activities like yoga and hikes to the pool daybeds, which demand a hefty 150 EUR minimum spend. It felt like a corporate exercise in eking every last Euro out of guests rather than offering a premium hospitality experience.
While the rooms look fine on the surface, they are nothing special and lack any distinct personality—you could be in a standard Marriott or Hilton anywhere in the world. Worse, the acoustics are a nightmare. Because of the tile flooring and layout, the entire place echoes like crazy. Despite Cala Llonga being a quieter area, I was woken up between 2 AM and 4 AM almost every single night by the echo of clubbers returning from Ibiza Town or San Antonio.
To top it off, my air conditioning broke, resulting in a large puddle in the room that soaked my shoes. While staff were quick to fix the AC, it was a frustrating hassle to deal with.
The hotel markets itself as a culinary resort, but the reality is incredibly basic. The breakfast is a highly average very little fresh.
