Monnaber NOU Finca Hotel & Spa

We had two rooms, not next to each other, in the separate (VERY far) set of rooms. They had tiny terraces overlooking the horrible little pool. Both rooms had someone walk in and say 'oh, wrong room'. This was not a wrong room, this was someone walking into each room looking to steal, hoping guests were out by the pool. The hotel did not care, and acted as if they had never heard this before. Second night....same thing!

Only stayed 1 night but great location and facilities. Booked through Rural Hotels Mallorca. Lots of pool space. Nice setting. About 15 minutes from Pollença. Quiet location. Attentive service. Ideal for families or couples. Would definitely stay again

A short stay in June - a perfectly adequate hotel for the price. Its slightly dated in a charming old-fashioned Spanish style with lots of dark wood - you won't find super modern or Uber cool but you will find a clean room, comfortable bed & super friendly and helpful staff. There are two parts to the hotel & upon arrival it's initially confusing as to where to drive to check in. The entrance is impressive but no signs saying which direction to drive & where to park or even where reception is! However all forgotten once you are in your room, and you can appreciate the tranquility & spaciousness of the place. We were not staying in the main hotel, but in the 'other bit' (I don't know what it was called). Please don't for a moment I think that this is inferior to the main hotel, our upstairs room was spacious with a separate seating area leading onto a balcony with two chairs and table, which overlooked the large pool and countryside beyond. The super king bed had a memoryfoam mattress and two pillows each – one being a long bolster & the other a scatter cushion size. My top tip - if you are fussy about pillows, you might want to take your own. The bathroom had a bath with shower over – perfectly adequate and clean with plenty of hot water (the surrounding farm land has their own solar panels ). Being an eco-hotel, they issue you with two large towels each – one for the bathroom and a yellow one for the pool. This is actually a really good idea and saves on a huge amount of laundry (having recently stayed in a very (expensive) upmarket hotel in Menorca where guests liberally helped themselves to pool towels, the caution exercised at Monnaber Nou was refreshing). The surroundings of the hotel are farmland, so expect to hear sheep bleating. You can also hear neighbouring peacocks! It was a very peaceful stay, and we very much enjoyed the large pool and sunbeds. Breakfast at €10. each was plentiful with lots of choice. You can choose to eat breakfast at either venue in the hotel, but we preferred the breakfast at our little annexe, the chap in charge was charming. Overall, a great day, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend but you do need a car!

We own a property in Puerto Pollensa and have been coming to the area for the past forty years. We had heard about Monnaber Nou restaurant but had never visited it. Until today. It was a special wedding anniversary so I had booked dinner. We arrived. Beautiful setting. No welcome but a sign directing us to the restaurant. On arrival no one to show us to the table; we asked and were told we could choose our own. Great. The menu was interesting but not outstanding. The prices were ok. However, it became clear that the suckling pig (that I had) and the roast shoulder of lamb (that my wife ordered) were not cooked fresh but were heated ‘portions’. How do I know? Because my wife’s lamb was dry, stringy and, frankly, inedible. I called the waiter and pointed this out. He apologised and took it away saying the chef ‘would cook another one’. He did not offer to take my lechona and keep it warm. So I had to eat while my wife watched. My wife’s new portion of lamb arrived as I was finishing my pork, so I had to watch while she ate. When it came to payment time I asked to talk to the manager and explained that when I come to a good restaurant I expect to have a shared dining experience which means eating my main course at the same time as my wife; and I expect the dishes to be perfectly prepared. In light of our very disappointing experience I suggested that we should not be asked to pay full price. Rather than offer sympathy and few euros discount the manager asked whether we had each, in the end, eaten a main course. I said we had. He said that therefore we must pay full price. I said that what we had experienced was not good and I expected better if I was paying full price. He stood his ground and said that he could not give any discount because it would come out of his pay. Impasse. Needless to say, we shall not return.

The Monnaber Nou was recommended to my wife and by friends who live close by, so our expectations on arrival were running high! Thankfully we were not to be disappointed as, from the moment we arrived (to a warm welcome from Francisco) our stay was blissfully, relaxing. Our stay began with a light, lunch and glass of fizz on the picture-perfect terrace, which overlooks quite stunning and tranquil Campanet countryside views. The privileged location represents a big part of the experience here. This was followed by a stroll round the expansive and very impressive grounds of the estate, and it’s only then that you realise the amount of effort that goes into ensuring that this multi-generational family estate is maintained and managed to the highest standards, so that guests can sample life inside an authentic, traditional finca. The elegant manor house, adjoining accommodations and the 300 acres of agricultural estates have been honestly and sympathetically refurbished to ensure that the rustic rich heritage of past times has been captured at a time when most hotels are hell-bent at modernisation at all costs. The restaurant has similarly rustic furnishings, it’s sitting rooms, with period furnishings and massive wood burning fires. All of which were surpassed by the wonderful Malloquin cuisine and accompanying carefully selected wine selection presented to us in the restaurant itself. A delicious meal was served with pride and care by Matthias and Ricardo.What stood out was the fact that so much of the produce being served is organically grown or raised on the estate itself. Unlike one or two previous reviews, we found the breakfast to be very adequate, again with many ingredients grown either on the estate or from local producers. I suspect that anyone dissatisfied with their stay may have not done their research properly and expected a stereotypical Sheraton-chain-like experience, rather than the rustic charm of an authentic Mallorquin finca stay. These are very different requirements, so be clear what you are looking for. If it is the latter, you have found the holy grail! Disfrutas! 😀

We were not sure what to expect, driving up the long drive to hotel first impressions were, the hotel is stunning. Reception was only an average could have been better. Must say we had a lovely room (219) Found are way to pool bar, must say spent a few hours there very enjoyable just relaxing and chatting The service was ok, shame the guy behind the bar was using his hands to put ice into the glasses when making the drinks. The evening meal was very good we were half board,allowed to choose from la a Carte menu for an extra €4.50 The bed was very comfy, Sat writing this eating breakfast which is just average, but the views of the stunning countryside make up for it. Over all a pleasant stay, would we come again probably not as so many other wonderful places on the island to visit. Would of liked an early morning swim 07.00, unfortunately does NOT open until 11.00 that was a great disappointment for us. We actually live on the island and once a year we go stay at a hotel for our wedding anniversary
