Great view, lousy food *

Enlarge letters A A Downsize letters A A

Older, out of the 70' Ger years created large hotel with twelve floors (huge rectangular concrete block). Great view on the sea and in the surrounding area. In the town itself it is three supermarkets, two bars, a hairdresser, and two car rentals, which it had always closed a. We have rented three us car days 1, relatively cheap ( 65) ' Worriorscars ' , had a rather run-down but abgewirtschaftetes vehicle received (better book here in Germany or in the hotel over the travel agency). The place is really dead Cala Vinas, rather what to relax. The next larger town is, magaluf firmly in english hands, as well as the hotel (to 95% english). The food was on the english guests put to the vote, the food was diverse, the food had little to no spice and tasted rather bland. Breakfast was still halfway edible. The room is sufficiently large and newly renovated, our refrigerator has unfortunately not working.
The hotel is in any case not four stars, more like 3 + three!
Can the hotel on the basis of the food only partially recommend
