Stayed one week at the Amic Gala as a last minute budget holiday. It is declared a 3star and if star ratings are based on cleanliness, location and friendliness of staff, it should have 5. Though it is older fashioned (kind of 1970's! ), it is extremely clean, staff are always tidying, cleaning, they never stop, but are always courteous and helpful.
Restaurant operates on a help-yourself-buffet basis. Food was good, fresh, always found something to eat and always plentiful.
Aircon is 50 euro per week or 9 euro per day, room fridge 14 euro per week, safe 14 euro per week.
Some efforts have been made to update some of the aesthetics, but overall this is a comfortable, friendly, very clean hotel, don't judge it by its 1970's look.
Location is superb, beach at Can Pastillon is LESS than 2 minutes walk from the hotel front door ,a really beautiful sandy beach which is also well cleaned, water extremely clean also, a very pleasant sunbathing/swimming beach.
The beach and esplanade extends eastwards to Arenal which is about 3 or 4 miles along and a great walk with pleanty of watering holes on the way. Arenal is very much younger, livelier, lots of German bars, restaurants and young German visitors, beach much more crowded here, so it was pleasant to head back to the quieter, more relaxed area of Can Pastillon.
Plenty of cycle/moped hire available at Can Pastillon and there is a cycle path along the coast to Palma, well worth the effort, lovely route, very flat, no tortuous hills to contend with! Bike hire starts room 7euro per day.
Overall, Can Pastillon a very relaxed/relaxing resort, all ages but doesnt seem to attract the single sex very young groups. Saw no OTT drunkeness, very family orientated resort with lots of holidaying Spanish people too. Windsurf, kite surf, paddle board hire all there too. Good choice of eateries if you fancy eating out. Very relaxing place, the Amic Gala an excellent, clean base
Taxi from airport to Can Pastillon 12 euro, taxi from there to airport 9.65 euro, its about 3km !!!
Room Tip: Room 362 3rd floor faces onto busy street but also hills & trees. Some others might not be so good
