The family-run Bon Sol commands a unique cliffside position in the heart of Illetas. The hotel is extremely characterful, with exposed stone, wooden beams and the added personal touches of the owners and their collection of eclectic decorations and furnishings. From the reception, lifts descend to the lush subtropical gardens: an oasis of calm and colour, waterfalls splash peacefully into the swimming pools and the crystal-clear waters of the small sandy beach afford good swimming. The water's edge is also the setting for a bar and restaurant where, during summer months, you can enjoy breakfast, lunch or dinner, or sample exotic cocktails as the sun sets along the horizon. Why not relax in the hotel's spacious lounges, which are located next to the main restaurant?
The wellness centre offers relaxing massages, saunas and a wide choice of therapeutic and beauty treatments, as well as an outside whirlpool bath. The owners of the Bon Sol are always on hand and have created an ambience of cheerful and unpretentious luxury, supported by a commitment to excellence in personal service, with nothing ever seeming to be too much trouble. It's so good here, even the staff stay longer, which may be why the standards of service are so often commended. Each of the spacious bedrooms and suites is different, with individual charm and ambience.
Hotel child prices apply to ages 2-12 years.

About the location
This exclusive resort in south-west Majorca has earned a reputation for glitz and glamour, with a handful of super-luxe hotels and some of the best golf courses on the island. Snuggled into a scenic, pine-strewn headland overlooking a postcard-perfect bay, the resort’s lush surroundings are some of its biggest attractions. The world-class golf courses pruned into its landscapes include the 18-hole Real Golf Bendinat, which features a gorgeous green valley surrounded by hilly terrain and sloping fairways. The resort has its own beach; a curved bay that’s small but perfectly formed, with powdery white-gold sand and a handful of upmarket beach clubs. You’ve got a smattering of attractive bars and restaurants, too, all adding to Illetas’ low-key charm. If it’s nightlife and shopping you’re after, island capital Palma is just six miles away.

This hotel is amazing. We have just returned from our annual family holiday and can say hand on heart that Bon Sol is a lovely hotel run by extremely friendly people who just want you to have a great holiday. How many hotels can you say that about? It is family run and it shows. The staff have all bought into the owner's vision. We had a junior suite with a sea view in the main hotel. You will find it difficult to find a view as good anywhere. The food was very good and they have an extensive vegetarian menu in the beach restaurant which you will need to ask for at reception. The main restaurant is nice but the beach restaurant has the view and a sea breeze. The staff in particular at the beach restaurant are extremely friendly and helpful. The beach is small but creates easy access to the sea which is warmer than the swimming pool. The usual problem of finding a sun bed does not exist at this hotel. Palma is a beautiful town and the shops are a mixture of the usual and Bond Street style up market labels etc. Easy access to Palma by bus (number 3) but better to pay the extra and go by taxi (20 euro each way). Any one who wants to find something to complain about should hang their head in shame. This type of hotel and staff should be congratulated.

Have just returned from a week at the Hotel Bon Sol where I celebrated my birthday. We were given a lovely room overlooking the beach which was very comfortable and exceeded our expectations having booked what I thought was a standard double through Tui.
The hotel is definitely unique in that it maintains a family vibe rather than a bland corporate feel. The main building is stuffed full of unusual bits and pieces and feels like being in a Spanish castle rather than a hotel. The owners are very visible and all the staff give the impression that nothing is too much bother.
There is ample choice of food both at breakfast and at dinner with two menus to choose from. There is also a good wine list featuring a lot of local wines - every one we tried was delicious! You can pig out on the full 4 courses every evening or skip one if you choose. On some evenings the service was a bit too quick - a bit longer to digest between courses would have been good. On the evening of my birthday, flowers, Cava, personalised menus and cake all appeared even though we had said nothing to Reception. This is the kind of touch that makes the hotel stand out.
There is entertainment in the bar every evening - the flamenco was superb! It being World Cup season they were also showing the matches either in the bar or the conference room which was great even though England lost out in the end!
You can easily catch a bus into Palma which takes about 30 minutes and is 1.50 euros each way. Palma is well worth a visit and every time we have been to Majorca we have found new places to visit.
Yes, it needs a bit of refreshing here and there (new sun umbrellas, a lick of paint) but it has a charm all of its own. A lot of people we spoke to had been before and that says a lot.
One word of warning - the pools by the beach bar and breakfast room are very deep if, like me, you are not good out of your depth which is a shame but there is always the sea!

Everything was a surprise and a delight. Although our first time we were welcomed warmly. Everything that we wanted to ask had been anticipated and staying here was so easy. The rooms are beautifully furnished to a high standard, spacious with every comfort. The location is perfect for visiting other parts of the island. Because it is a family run hotel staff are valued and in turn take pride in their work, always helpful friendly and polite. A wonderful choice of places to eat with locally sourced menu. Guests were of all ages, families are welcomed. The tunnels and various levels make it a unique place and somewhere we will return too.

Stayed for a week in a junior suite,with sea views.Staff are superb at every level,& the guests were mainly English & retired. Many had been coming to this hotel for 6/9/18/24 years or times.It felt a little like a retirement club but guests helpful & friendly as this was our first time. Breakfast plentiful with much choice & dinner choices many & varied.Food good quality.Lifts to beach take a little getting used to but many choices of beds/umbrellas near pool/bar/beach. Beach is tiny & more of a cove but good swimming.
