Universal Hotel Aquamarin

Wonderful location in beautiful San Telm a resort we have been visiting for almost 40years! The hotel has been upgraded and the rooms are wonderful with the most amazing views. We had a sea view superior room and it felt like being on a boat whilst lying on the bed! The food, ambience and staff were all great- especially Sergio at the beach club. . My only issue would be with the €20 per person per day charge for sun beds with an unadvertised booking system which meant that if you knew you knew and if you didn’t you might not get one….. It didn’t spoil things but it added to the cost of an already expensive holiday.

We had the best holiday at Universal Hotel Acquamarin. The hotel was revamped last year and is gorgeous - modern and stylish but comfortable and luxurious. The staff were so friendly and helpful - they treated our 2 year old like a queen and couldn’t do enough for us. The food was delicious - breakfast was superb, a fab selection. Our bedroom had the most incredible view of the sea (which we could see from our bed!) and we had a lovely balcony with seating area to watch the sunset - it felt like paradise and we are so happy we found the hotel and Sant Elm. We can’t wait to come back next year!

We had a splendid holiday there. The beach is just next to the hotel. Great accessibility. Staff are nice. Service is great. Plenty of choice for buffet. What we enjoy most is the stunning sunset with great live music. It was so relaxing to have a meal or just a glass of wine there. The family room is a bit smaller than I expected. however would definitely recommend this hotel to everyone.

AMAZING - could not recommend more if I tried! This hotel and area gets 10/10. The hotel itself is gorgeous, the interior fits the area and vibe. The rooms are great, nice beds (and I am a fussy sleeper! Mattresses are on the harder side, you get two pillows where one is memory foam, and you also get a proper duvet). Bathrooms are great and have fabulous showers (I was in both standard and superior rooms). If possible, book a room with sea view just because it is mind-blowingly beautiful. But I also stayed in a mountain view room, and you get the sunrise over the mountains, which was a pretty good second best. STAFF: Cannot express enough gratitude for every single person we've been lucky enough to meet. Everyone is so incredibly kind, funny, attentive, sweet and professional. Can’t fault the service mindedness. Thank you for looking after us like this! HOTEL AMENITIES: The hotel has a gorgeous sea view spa with steam room, aromatherapy shower, pool, sauna, sun terrace, massages, and other treatments. Super clean, always someone there to look after the place (and maybe even bring you an ice water). There's a gym in next to the spa, also with sea view. It is not huge but has everything you need. And if you just avoid pre-mealtimes, it’s quiet. The hotel also does excursions, so enquire about that! Wifi worked seamlessly. Also, special shoutout to the hotel’s offerings around recycling and their filtered water filling stations, which saved the World plastic and me money. Great initiative! BREAKFAST: I am very fussy when it comes to hotel breakfasts. I like my fresh juices (the properly squeezed kinds, not the foamy blended-with-water kinds), fresh fruit (none of that mushy or tasteless stuff), great produce and varied stuff. Here, it exceeded my expectations. There was FRESH juices, FRESH fruit, and there were new items on the buffet daily, which kept it from getting boring. There's also a menu that you can order from. You won't go hungry! Either as vegan, vegetarian or all-consuming. BEACHES: You have direct access to two beaches from the hotel. You have a bigger one to the right, and a smaller one to the left. They're both amazing and I recommend you spend time on both to see if one takes your fancy more. AREA: Sant Elm is a gorgeous little area of Mallorca. It has everything you need and more. Personally, I think it's the perfect holiday spot. There's a load of fabulous restaurants to choose from (personal favourites: La Casita Del Mar (!!), Cala Conills, Sa Calma, Arasa), and the hotel for breakfast and sundowners in the outside bar area. There's a great little pharmacy, and different "kiosks" - one especially worth a mention, Vell Marí Supermercado, which has a load of exclusive items and lots of organic options as well. There are also great clothes shops, and I personally bought a few dresses from Itsy Ibiza. You will also find great hikes around the area that you can access on foot from the hotel. It's worth going for a walk in both

This was our first visit to the hotel (but not the area ) but was impressed with the refurbishment .. A lovely room (4th floor ) and with views to die for .. waking up with the view is like no other .. absolutely stunning ! Very comfy bed and lovely shower in room - nice and roomy and separate toilet with a wonderful balcony to watch the sunset as well Main areas were lovely and spacious and very clean.. the breakfast though was somewhat of a disappointment .. coffee from the machine was barely drinkable .. asked for a cappuccino as had a lovely coffee machine but had to pay extra .. hot breakfast buffet just ok .. staff not forthcoming offering omelettes etc and no menus on table Reception staff were helpful and would recommend booking the sun beds as soon as you arrive as they get v booked up.. also not sure about paying E20 pp each day for sunbed if you staying at hotel - I know it’s a public beach but still.. would a wristband not suffice to acknowledge you are staying at hotel ? Overall a pleasant stay in the most beautiful location- the choice of restaurants 5 minutes walk away are also excellent as well and would recommend

Lovely hotel in a fabulous location. Staff very helpful and accommodating...nothing is too much trouble. Our room was well appointed with views over the bay. We stayed on a bed and breakfast basis and the selection was varied and you could also order from the breakfast menu for further items freshly cooked.
