FAQ

Where is it?

The Sotavento Apartments are very close to the main strip of bars and clubs, really handy for all the action and close to the beach too. It’s up a steep but short hill – tricky in high heels apparently but I’m a bloke so I took mine off!

Someone says on TripAdvisor that the hill makes it perfect here compared to other hotels in Magaluf cos it puts off randomers from walking up and wandering around at all hours. The hill position means you get a great view too, so you can take some snaps and text them back to your Mum!

Oh yeah, the beach is only, say, two minutes walk, but down 100 steps, no 101 I think, so good for the bum cheeks on the way up girls. And boys!!!

Forget the hill though because it’s not an issue and it’s worth it to stay in this wicked hotel as

Who is this hotel for?

This place is spot on for groups of lads, groups of girls, stag dos and hen parties. Only come as a couple if you want it “lively”, it’s not the romantic getaway kind of place.

Old folks don’t stay here unless they’re well into the 18-30 scene (it does happen.. so remember lads, if you’re approached by one, get her to take her teeth out FIRST OK). Oh and there’s no kids, though you might see some “big kids” dressed in school uniforms.. Whatever does it for ya I guess..

How do the rooms compare to other hotels in Magaluf?

You get a living room with two sofabeds and a bedroom with two single beds. It’s plenty big enough for four people, so works out one of the best value hotels in Magaluf, leaving plenty of dosh for partying!

Hotels in Magaluf - Sotavento Apartments

The apartments have air con (free) so if you come here in the summer you can stay cool while people in loads of other hotels in Magaluf are ROASTING all night! They’re nice rooms too, recently decorated and they keep them clean and tidy. Yeah, so you should respect that boys and girls…

If you want to cook up a storm, well, get a life mate… No seriously, there’s a kitchen in the apartment with a cooker, pans, toaster, kettle, all that, so you can make a snack. Get food and stuff from the supermarket on-site, it’s not a rip-off.

What’s outside?

There’s a swimming pool, and get this, it’s got a kiddies’ section – but there are no children here. Weird. Music on all day, and they have pool parties every week so you can have a laugh or get down and dirty in your cozzie. (I can’t TELL you what I’m thinkin about right now….woahh!!!) Oh, and there’s no annoying pool rules either, within reason!

There’s a pool table too. Yeah, so you can play pool by the pool lol.

And if all that wasn’t enough, you’ll find a jacuzzi here too! It’s brilliant and not something you get at many hotels in Magalluf in this price range. Just remember the “hot hub etiquette” lads and lasses. (Hands strictly by invitation only, and no noxious gases!!!!)

Hotels in Magalluf - Sotavento Apartments Bar, Room, Gym

What about food and drink?

The bar is cool, decorated really trendy and you can start the night here before goin off down the hill to the strip. Prices very reasonable too.

In the day for when you’re by the pool there’s a snack bar with good prices and choice.

Are the staff friendly?

Listen, respect the staff and they’ll respect you, right? Treat them as you want to be treated, and you’ll find them polite and helpful. Start throwing stuff around the balcony and smashing glasses and that, well, they’re gonna get stroppy cos the cleaners have a hard job as it is, you know?

Is there Internet access?

Yes, there are four computers in the hotel where you pay a euro for 12 minutes I think it is, so you can check your emails or whatever.

What other facilities are there?

As you can see from the photo, there’s a gym so you can work off some of those alcohol calories.  You can pay extra for satellite TV and also to use the safe in the apartment. If you’re coming by car there’s a car park. Well, to be honest there’s still a car park even if you don’t come by car! Funny, huh!

Verdict

Out of all the hotels in Magaluf, the Sotavento is one of the best for a lively Magaluf holiday. It’s very near the main strip, there’s a lot of action going on in and around the pool, the apartments are clean and it’s great value for money.
