Guest Reviews
- Stephen (10/5): You could hear a pin drop! - We really enjoyed this hotel very much. The grounds were wonderful as was the pool. The staff could not have been nicer and the food was excellent. Above all you could hear a pin drop and that is what makes for a relaxing time.
- Rosario (10/5): - Sa Comanes un hotel Maravilloso, que tiene el encanto de ser muy genuino y muy personal. Está claro que su mobiliario no es de los más modernos pero MUY LIMPIOS y esto es preferible a otros hoteles más nuevos .
Si quieres conocer la Mallorca de los mallorquines, tener paz y unas vistas INMEJORABLES sa coma ,estu Hotel!
GRACIAS otra vez por hacer de nuestra estancia una de las mejores!😘
- alan (10/5): - Nice and quiet ,lovely setting, plenty of space excellent holiday atmosphere
- Fearless32728380305 (10/5): Very nice stay!! - I really enjoyed the Place. Just what I needed quiet and very relaxing. Lovely family owned hotel. and still things to do and visit around (beach on foot 5mn, Soller by bus 20mn). To get to with the bus direct from Palma main bus station (around an hour), This hotel was recommended to me in Palma by anorher traveller. The rooms were very clean (wirh service very day if you want to) and comfortable, the sea view room, amazing! Nice Pool, staff was very friendly and competent. The bar had Local village wine, gin and brandy von Mallorca. The breakfast hat lots of variety hot and cold, freshly made. I had dinner there and it was really delicious (see photos). The meal is to be had putside on the terrace or inside. Amazing sunset! Overall, please come and try it out :) thank you to the staff
- astridk46 (8/5): Very friendly hotel! - Wonderful Easter holiday at Sa Coma hotel! Family driven hotel, fabulous staff, both reception, bar, breakfast and dinner staff - everybody was always smiling and very helpful!
The room has a good 3star standard, don’t expect 4stars.
Highlight is the breathtaking 180 degree seaview, almost all rooms have this view, including a stunning sunset at 20.15.
There is a new TV in the room incl Netflix, a fridge, water boiler, good wifi, For my husband the bed was a bit too hard, but I slept like a rock!
Breakfast buffet was lovely, they make you eggs/omelette/sausages etc freshly. Fruit, smoothie, Spanish ham etc etc.
You can have a 2 or 3 course dinner at the hotel (breakfast room) between 7 and 9pm, nice view, each course had 3 choices. € 19 for 2courses, € 24 for 3 courses. Good food, meat/fish/veggie.
We went there for a hiking holiday, without a rental car: the taxi from Palma airport was € 55. There are lovely hikes in the area, 2/3/4/5 hour length.
The hotel is halfway between the sea and the village, and it is very steep in both directions.
- Pernille (10/5): Fantastisk ophold - Hotellet har den mest fantastiske ud over vandet og en dejlig stor terrasse, hvor sol og udsigt kan nydes. Personalet er meget søde og man føler sig meget velkommen ! Morgenmads restaurant også med dejlig udsigt og en overdådig morgenmadsbuffet.
Der er et dejligt stort poolområde med liggestole, en velassorteret bar , gode vine og der er også restaurant på hotellet .
- Rhys (8/5): - Great location.
- CATHERINE (10/5): - Amazing location, picture perfect small village.
- Michael (6/5): - Located on precipitous hill which hindered mobility
- Jonas (10/5): - Das Essen war hervorragend, das Hotel und die Umgebung sehr ruhig, das Personal ist sehr aufmerksam und freundlich.
Wenn man dort ein paar Tage Urlaub verbringen möchte, ist es ratsam sich vorher ein Auto/Roller zu mieten.
- Henrik (8/5): Dejligt ophold med udsigt - Dejligt hotel placeret på bjergskråning ud mod havet. Vi havde værelse med en super havudsigt, hvilket absolut kan anbefales at tilvælge. Godt fungerende hotel med fint pool område og god morgenmad incl. frisklavet omelet. Fin og venlig service på hotellet.
- 52katar_nak (10/5): In love with this hotel - What a sweet small family hotel! I booked 2 nights and than decided to stay my entire vacation.
Hotel is run by a family and they are extremly helpful and sweet and kind. I am not used for so much care as a guest even at my own mom's house. I love the interior, because it has an atmosphere of older classical spanish sea-side home and I also loved the GARDEN extremly, you can hang around swimming pool and hide under beuatiful palms and other gardening amusements. I felt really good at this hotel and the owners, who were always available and loving, spoke really good english (which I find as a miracle at Spain area:)
I appreciate silnece and close distance to beach, which is more for snorcheling enthusiasts as I am, but also I would let kids in with googles and vests/inflatables, when the waves are not big. The swimming pool also has area for small kids.
- Garance (8/5): Séjour à Banyabulfar - Accueil chaleureux, chambre spacieuse avec terrasse, salle de bain avec baignoire, climatisation et vue sur la montagne. Petit déjeuner buffet. Idéalement situé à moins de 15 min à pied de la plage.
- Sara (10/5): Tre dagar i Banyalbufar - Hotellet ligger precis mellan badet och torget så perfekt! Senast bodde vi nära torget men detta var bättre. Rent. Jättebra kring reglarna med covid. Bra frukost. Vi fick bästa rummet med utsikt åt havet och bergen. Fin ren pool. Väldigt lugnt vid poolen nu men kan nog vara stökigt om det är många barnfamiljer.
Bra erbjudande om middag dock provade vi aldrig det för vi ville gå till våra favoritrestauranger inne vid torget.
- Verena (10/5): Great views and service - Outstanding views and really helpful staff who made us feel very welcome!
- richardlW8485QJ (10/5): Lovely tranquil terrace - Great retreat and coffee break on this splendid sea view terrace found on the half way between stone beach and the village of Banyalbufar! Hotel welcomes alien travellers with a fresh drink or set menu dinner! Closed from 01Nov till end of March.
- odile (8/5): Agréable séjour dans un lieu magnifique - Lieu très agréable belle vue sur la mer, petit déjeuner très bien , très propre, seul bémol lit un peu trop dur.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Udmærket hotel, dog lidt slidt, meget simpelt mad. Super smuk udsigt fra værelset og mange muligheder for oplevelser i lokalområdet, dog mest for aktive typer.
- Verified traveler (10/5): Tranquilo y con vistas preciosas - Maravillosa estancia!
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Sehr schöne Lage in einem bezaubernden kleinen Ort, familiäre Atmosphäre, nettes Personal, alles sehr sauber
An sich gutes, aber eintöniges Frühstück, etwas Abwechslung wäre in 10 Tagen doch zu erwarten, wo doch das Land einiges bieten würde
- alaincarlier (10/5): Excellent price/quality ratio - We stayed a week at this family-run hotel. Decent and clean rooms with nice views at the sea. Excellent breakfast and dinner with variety. Very friendly service. Swimming pool area allows discretion for the different guests. Only remark is that you have to buy the towels at EUR 12 each which makes non sense
- sophiekG6156RK (2/5): Shabby and outdated room, unfriendly reception, so expensive for what it is - Overall, seriously regret choosing this hotel...
Upon check in, blonde reception lady was so unwelcoming and every time we asked something she was rather rude and unprofessional. No sign of family running hotel's warm welcome anywhere.
Weird pre-assigned seat system. breakfast room atmosphere very uninviting and menu was also very basic and same everyday. fruits in Spain are so cheap, although the only fruit in breakfast is melon. Is it worth paying so much in the end? No.
It was high season so room was quite pricey and it was such a ripoff considering what they provided. I have NEVER seen such a basic and unattractive room, feel like being in 1 star hotel perhaps. there is hardly nothing else in the room, only bed, wardrobe, desk. That means there is no even Television. In the bathroom, cheap shower gel, dirty old shower curtain really put me off.
I chose this hotel based on the positive reviews and the location, but I really wish I had chosen another hotel...
- PeterBay (10/5): Like a part of the owner Family - Very nice hotel. Fantastick location with the sea almost in the bed, was the feeling. Big balconys.Good beds,very warm and friendly atmosphere in the welcoming hands of the owner family. Very good breakfast with a omelet/egg cook making what ever you fancy. Homemade bakery. Very wel kept and clean pool area.Many very good restaurents in the Village. Many fine walks in the shade along the sea or up the hils.recomend the local bodega just out og town heading south. Recomend the beach in Estellence 7 km south. (buses goes there) They have beach restaurents etc. The local beach hasent, but is okay. Look for Medusas though. Free tennis court.
- jima474 (10/5): This hotel gives you "a peaceful easy feeling"! - 3rd visit, (which made us very much in the minority, so many families return year after year) fantastic little hotel. the Tomas family who run the place are such fantastic hosts. Great breakfast choices including "full English" cooked to order if that is your preference. Excellent evening meal with a choice for each of 4 courses. Great pool and leafy garden shade. Tennis, 300 yards to (stoney) beach for great snorkelling. The best thing of all .. the views from the bedroom balconies and magical sunsets,
- Ferry (8/5): Leuk hotel met mooi uitzicht - Het hotel heeft een prachtig uitzicht op zee vanuit de kamers, het restaurant en de bar. Als he naar de zee wil moet je 10 minuten lopen een steile weg af of met de auto. Je komt dan bij een klein rots strandje waar een plateau is om te liggen. Doordat het een rots strand is, is het water heel helder en Kun je er mooi snorkelen. Het personeel is heel vriendelijk en eten in hef hotel is goed.
- Sofia (8/5): Trevlig personal - Trevligt hotell, aningen omodernt men hade sin charm. Pool för stora och små och många solstolar! Bra placerat mellan stranden och byn! Renligt och trevlig personal!
- RichardO204 (10/5): Simply wonderful - so relaxing - we have just returned from a 2 week holiday at the Sa Coma Hotel, Banyalbufar, Mallorca. - FANTASTIC.
The hotel is run the by the Tomas family - they were absolutely wonderful, and so helpful. It was a pleasure being at their Hotel.
The hotel is West facing so you can see the sunset from your room, the lounge, the terrace, and the restaurant every day. You wake up on a morning, open your curtains, to a wonderful view of the se. It is breath taking lying in bed looking out at the view.
The hotel is an ideal base if you are a walker or a cyclist or just looking for a purely relaxing holiday. We were full board and you would have to be really really picky not to enjoy the wonderful food at breakfast and dinner. Breakfast is a continental buffet with a choice of freshly fired omelettes. You can grill your own bacon and sausage if you so wish. Your chose your dinner options at breakfast from a set menu. There were always 2 options per course. There were 4 courses in total. All of the food was delicious and authentic.
You need to be mobile as the Hotel is accessed via a steep road that you have to walk up in order to get in to the small village. There a several café/restaurants in the village. We used Belle Vista (great terrace views), 1661, and Son Tomas. All were excellent. Palma is 50 minute bus journey away that costs €3.10 per person each way. The service was prompt and easy to use. You are dropped right in the centre of Palma at the purpose built transport centre. From there you can get anyway on the Island.
If you do intend to travel I would suggest a car. We did not hire a car. We did two of the well sign posted walks. They were at times over challenging terrain so you need good footwear. We were never board just relaxed, probably the most relaxed I have ever been on a holiday.
There was no TV at all. It was so tranquil a TV would have spoilt the experience, We never missed it for the full fortnight. Wi-Fi is good and is free.
Drink prices are quite reasonable as well. A large Cervesa was €2.90.
If you want a tranquil holiday in an unspoilt Spanish village this is for you. We will be going back. After two weeks there I was not ready to come home and that is a first for me.
We were in room 140 on the second floor.
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Ein sehr schön gelegenes, hervorragend geführtes Hotel, idealer Ausgangspunkt für Wanderungen im Tramuntana-Gebirge. Sehr gute Küche. Traumhafte Aussicht auf Meer und Küste. Sehr geräumiges Zimmer, sehr freundliches Personal.
Ein Hinweis für Menschen mit "Rücken": Die Betten sind recht hart. Eine weiche Zwischenlage brachte nur geringe Erleichterung.
- charlottet157 (6/5): Peacefull - Startede our holiday here in hope of getting relaxed in the silence of the Tramuntana - this hotel with it's location and spirit made it posible.
The hotel and rooms a bit old (beds to hard), but clean and staff kind.
The pool area nice with several small coners.
- victoriaduns (10/5): Short holiday - Great friendly hotel
Good food and nice room
Lovely pool with beautiful sea views
If you are looking for somewhere peaceful to relax and unwind I would recommend this hotel
You will need a car if you want to do a bit of sightseeing as it is off the beaten track
- Verified traveler (8/5): excellent - breath taking views from the window and made to feel welcome,
- GrelberSE (8/5): Possibly not the best choice for everyone but perfect for us - If you go to Mallorca primarily to swim in the Mediterranean, Banyalbufar is not for you. Even if the SaComa is probably the closest hotel, the “beach” is a short stretch of pebbles and rocks, accessible (barely, and both of us are reasonably fit without being exerciseoholics) via a steep decent and an even steeper climb back up (don’t know quite how that works, but your body tells you it does). And if your idea if a nice evening out is a night club and/or a sports bar with a big screen TV, forget it. Night life in Banyalbufar is nonexistent, apart from the restaurants. But if you enjoy the peace and quiet of a small town with just some 500 permanent residents and a hotel with just 30 rooms, most of them overlooking the sea, Sa Coma may be just what you’re looking for. Especially if, like we do, you consider it a plus not to have to listen to your next door neighbor’s TV blasting away when you try to go to sleep – the rooms don’t have TV’s and we suspect this is intentional.
SaComa shows all the signs of a very well managed family hotel, upgrading at a steady pace as demands rise and money rolls in. When we were there, they seemed to be preparing to install keycard locks on the doors, but had only gotten to mounting the card operated light switch on the wall beside the door, luckily not yet in operation (we understand the energy saving point behind them, but they’re still a nuisance). If your idea of a cozy hotel room is Marriot style, SaComa may not be quite to your liking, but our room was very functional in a rustic, rural style.
The cleaning is absolutely impeccable. Every afternoon when we came back from our various excursions our room looked as pristine as the night we arrived, including the bathroom. The breakfast buffet is not huge, but very nice and varied; with the extra bonus of Catalina frying your choice of omelet or eggs to order while you prepare your own bacon or sausages on the huge gas barbeque. If you order at breakfast, you can have a four-course dinner at the hotel, with two choices for every course. We only tried this on the night we arrived, just as the restaurant would normally close, but they were kind enough to serve us anyway (we had arranged this beforehand via email). To us, one of the highlights of traveling is try out as broad a spectrum as possible of local food traditions, so we ate at the local restaurants for the rest of our stay, but based on our one night experience, the food served is well prepared, made from fresh, high quality ingredients, but perhaps a bit too “unadventurous” for our taste. The immediate surroundings below the hotel to the west are perhaps not the most charming, at least not in late October, but raise your eyes a little, and there’s the deep blue sea. On the land side, the pool/sun terrace area is beautiful and very well kept.
The walk up to the town center where you find the local restaurants is indeed steep, but not a real problem for anyone with normal mobility. And it’s downhill coming back after dinner. But we would not recommend this hotel for people in wheel chairs or parents with children in strollers, unless they (the parents) enjoy the challenge. Knowledge of English varies among the staff members, but you’d be hard pressed to find someone not doing his/her very best to give you any assistance you need.
However, SaComa is not without its quirks. As others have pointed out, the beds are firm, to put it mildly, but even my wife, who goes under the nickname “Princess and the Pea” (she’s born in Denmark), and who can get a bruise from an intense glance, didn’t complain until after the fourth night, but then we had spent quite a few hours in our rental car on the fourth day, and we never felt the need to ask for an extra mattress. The (free) wifi coverage in the building and surroundings is fine, with reasonable signal strength even in rather remote areas of the pool terrace, but the dropouts are frequent, making it almost impossible to e.g. listen to an album on Spotify. For email and other applications that don’t require constant access, it works OK.
You must also be aware that sound proofing has not been high up on the priority list, and that the doors to the rooms are “UK hotel style”, i.e. with a slit that you can push a morning paper through instead of a threshold, thus also letting in a lot of whatever noise other guests might produce in the corridor and lounge. There is also a private tennis court which seems to mainly attract youngsters who seem to think that anything you do with a tennis racket must be accompanied by loud grunts and screams, especially during siesta time. But don’t let that put you off. Bring ear plugs and book a stay at the SaComa. Even with the drawbacks mentioned, SaComa still gets a solid four, which would go up to a 4.5 if such a grade were allowed
- AnneT92 (10/5): Sa Coma Re-visited - Was wonderful being back to the Sa Coma which is a family run hotel and they are so friendly and accommodating. It's magical to sit on the terrace with wonderful views overlooking the sea. If you are looking for somewhere quiet to meditate, then this is the place for you. Lovely village and also many good restaurants.
- Llehany (10/5): Lisa lehany - Went to sa coma to visit my friends and had lunch of the menu I had pizza and chips very reasonable prices lovely hotel great location going in may would recommend to anyone wanting an short day great prices and rooms lots of shops and cafes near by
- janewittering (8/5): Peaceful location with stunning sunsets - We stayed at Sa Coma in July 2016. After a difficult year we wanted a quiet, relaxing holiday where we could rest and recuperate and we were not disappointed. Sa coma is situated in a small town by the coast. We had a sea view room which was perfect for watching the breath taking sunsets from our balcony. The most important point I should make is the hotel is half way down a steep hill. If you are unsteady on your feet or you find it difficult to climb hills this is not for you (if you are walking) you can drive to and from the hotel though if you have a car. More on the roads later!
The hotel offers an excellent breakfast, catering for all tastes and dietary requirements. At lunch there is a small range of salads but this is only available between 1.30 – 2.30pm and is restricted to these times. The hotel offers a different dinner menu each day. We ate here on 3 of the nights and in the town at various restaurants the rest of the week. The menu is given to you at breakfast, if you want to eat in the hotel, you complete your menu choices and if not you leave it blank. When eating at the hotel if you order bottles of soft drinks or wine this is kept for you and brought out onto your table when requested so you don’t have to drink a bottle in one go! We asked when we arrived if you sat at the same table each day as we had read on trip advisor that this was the case, we were told that you could choose where you sat, this was not true we were told to sit at the same table each day by the restaurant staff.
The room was clean and tidy. The bed mattresses were a little unforgiving for my husband who suffers with his back but I found the pillows the worse but to be fair to the hotel I didn’t complain and I’m sure they would have changed the pillows if I had as they were so nice. The towels were like sand paper but the shower was good, the air conditioning was heaven, there were generous size wardrobes and plenty of draws for storage, a safety deposit box and they had black out curtains so you weren’t woken by the sunlight too early.
The town of banyalbufar was small and quiet but had some lovely restaurants, shops for essentials and a pharmacy. The restaurants we ate in are noted below. By the hotel there is a small bay which is situated at the bottom of the steep hill. To reach the bay you need to go down a lot of steps. It is not a proper beach but you are able to swim or paddle. If you want a proper beach you will need to go out of town, we went to Soller which was very popular with a gorgeous beach and harbour.
The pool and gardens at Sa Coma were really pretty, tidy and peaceful. The bar area was nice and the lounge was well decorated, clean and tidy. Plenty of places to sit and relax. We spent a few days relaxing by the pool reading and the other days touring the island. We visited Soller and Estellencs. Estellencs is a very small town with good views and a very small beach it’s quite a walk from the main road, but some people drive down to it. Soller is a must visit, the roads to get to it from Banyalbufar are a bit scary, up and down the mountains, the most amazing views but drive slow! You can get to it by the main road from Palma but it’s a long way around. We parked just outside the main town all day for 1e (Saturday). It was about a 10/15 mins walk. The main town was busy with a market and lots of shops and restaurants. Plenty going on with a fantastic atmosphere. You can catch a train here to the beach which again is a must. Adults 6e each way and I think children were 4e each, so it can be expensive for a family of 4 going back and forth.
I mentioned earlier about the roads…. To survive these you have to be a confident driver or a very slow one. The roads here are lacking in width, safety barriers and on some roads completed road edges! Driving into the mountains though offers some of the most stunning views so I don’t want to put you off. It helps to have a small car. We had a Fiesta thank goodness but we saw others in Jukes and People carriers…..bad move.
Restaurants in Banyalbufar we ate at were all different but all fabulous in their own way. Ca’n Paco was lovely, the host was so friendly and made us feel very welcome and relaxed and the Paella mixed was delicious. Highly recommended. The Paella is cooked and then served at your table.
We ate lunch in Café Bellavista which offered a great lunch menu. The service was excellent, very friendly staff. We sat outside on the terrace, which offered more stunning views. My husband had the Bellavista salad which was huge! Definitely recommend.
Pegason Y El Pajarito Enmascarado was a small restaurant hidden off the main road. Fantastic food and service. They offer a set 3 course menu or Tapas. The set menu had an array of different foods all cooked in ways you wouldn’t have thought of and flavour combinations that shouldn’t work but really really do! A must visit if you stay in Banyalbufar. You need to book or turn up early for a table; they are closed on Wednesday as are most restaurants in the area.
Son Tomas was the highlight of the holiday in terms of food. The service was good but not welcoming or as friendly as the other restaurants I’ve mentioned but the food is out of this world. Great views in the restaurant upstairs, it also has a bar and outside seats for families and lunch.
In all the restaurants they put bread and Olives on the table, please don’t be under the illusion that these are free, you pay around 2e each of these.
- Deiagirl (10/5): Peaceful location, good snorkelling in the bay - We recently stayed 4 nights in a room with beautiful sea and sunset views. The hotel and decor is traditional, breakfast is good and evening meal fine but it was nice to eat out sometimes for something a bit special. The pool is a reasonable size but beware no pool towels are provided. Beds were on the hard side and room towels had seen better days. No problem finding sun loungers at any time.
Most days we went down the steep hill to the rocky/pebbly bay below. It was lovely for swimming and the snorkelling on both sides was good with clear and mainly calm water - various wrasse, bream, anemones, crabs. I did get stung by a jellyfish but it wasn't bad and I think I was just unlucky.
We would recommend this hotel.
- 252travisg (10/5): Best Place - Super kind staff. They offered clothes for my girlfriend to wear after her luggage was lost for day. Family owned for a long long time. I couldn't recommend this place more. Beautiful location and really great included breakfast.
- stevendG6907LL (10/5): Beautiful and tranquil - Sa Coma hotel sitting beautifully on the hillside below the main road and the few shops and restaurants of picturesque Banyalbufar is a delight. Good old fashioned service is delivered by the family and staff with a smile. The lounge and bar area is bright clean and fresh and perfect to watch the sea or gaze as the sun slides out of view creating wonderful colours. Many of the rooms have this view also but we opted for the mountain vista at the rear of the hotel. One major asset of the hotel is the car park attached as the streets within the village are narrow with limited parking places. The steepness of the road leading to the hotel could put some less able bodied people off but because we enjoy hill walking this was not an issue to us although it does take some getting used to for driving up and down. This obviously does not put everybody off because their clients return to visit again.
- 305felipem (8/5): Great place. Amazing views. - This hotel practically on a cliff, so the views to the sea are fantastic. Banyabufar is a small quiet village. This hotel is a very good choice: nice rooms, swimming pool, very good breakfast, etc... It's a family run business, and you can tell it in the very good service. The price is fine.
- CarolineL110 (10/5): A perfect family run small hotel in the best place in Majorca! - I have visited this hotel before - and again, it lives up to its reputation. Spotlessly clean, quiet, in a beautiful unspoilt location, it is a little piece of heaven! There is a lovely swimming pool, tennis courts and spacious gardens. The rooms are spacious, comfortable and all have balconies - we had a sea view, just amazing! Delicious food in the restaurant - again with sea views, we have been really spoilt!
