During my stay at Hotel El Balear, I enjoyed the fantastic location right by the sea and appreciated the stunning views from my room's balcony. The staff were attentive and made my experience nice, especially with their warm hospitality. However, the hotel could use some renovations as the room felt quite dated, and the breakfast options lacked variety and quality. Overall, it was a good trip, but there were definitely some areas needing improvement.
