TRIPADVISOR HOTEL HORIZONTE - "Home away from Home": Hotel Horizonte review


"Home away from Home": Hotel Horizonte review
I have stayed at the Hotel Horizonte approx 10 times in the last 12 years. I have seen the hotel before and after Andreu and his family took over AMIC hotels. Great improvement with their take over.

I travel from Canada usually to stay at this hotel. I always get a warm welcome back from the staff. Janka(??) in the dining room always has a smile on her face and greets you. The food is basic, but always good and lots to choose from at the buffet. Salads, hots dishes ranging from fish, beef, pork and chicken dishes. Breakfast is a large variety to choose from from cold to a hot breakfast.
The bar possible has the best Sangria on the island and is not expensive. Juan at the bar is always happy to pour you another glass of that home made Sangria with a smile.
The rooms have everything you need in them with full bathroom and 2 twins or 1 double bed. Try to book the superior room or Jr. Suites and you will not be sorry. They are in the main building and are on the upper floors with Views over the bay to Die for!! Breath taking can not describe it when the ships are in at night.
The hotel is up on the hill so if you have walking problems then make sure you grab a cab to go up and down the hill. Only a couple euros and will save you the trouble.
Porto Pi shopping center is 5 mins walk from the hotel and is the largest shopping mall on the island. Well worth the visit to the shops.
The hotel is not on the beach, but Cala Mayor is only 10-15 minutes walking from the hotel or 2 minutes in a taxi.
Playa de Palma beach is at the other end of the city center and is 10 minutes in a taxi or you can take the bus which has a stop down at the bottom of the hill by Porto Pi. There you can also take the bus into the city center which will take you about 10 minutes on the bus. I a taxi 5 minutes.
I have read a lot of negative reviews on the Horizonte and I think if you are looking at booking this hotel you need to know it is a 2 star family run clean hotel, not a 5 star which some of the reviews I have read people seem to think they are booking into.
The only negative think I can say is sometimes you will have trouble getting a sun lounger. To that I say go to the beach and enjoy your stay.
See you in May Andreu!!

Hotel Amic Horizonte reviews by Tripadvisor "Palma Delight!"

We had planned to spend 2 nights at Hotel Horizonte, but ended up extending it to 5 largely because of the amazing care we received from the front desk. As well, there was a great bartender and also great restaurant and cleaning staff. The people on the hotel staff make this hotel worth visiting. Awesome view, particularly from the corner rooms. We like walking, and it was an easy walk to Castel de Beliver overlooking the city (15 minutes) and an easy walk down along the marina to the Cathedral (30 minutes). If you walk the other way (away from the old town) there is an old fort (Castell de Sant Carles) about 15 minutes away with a terrifying collection of hand-weapons. If you stick to the shoreline still heading out of town and go just a tiny bit further, there is an awesome rocky beach. I f you walk a bit further still, there's a great sandy beach in Sant Agusti. All in all, a great place to stay. *Date of stay: November 2013 *He traveled as couple  Facebook Fan page...

Hotel Amic Gala recensioni su TripAdvisor “Complimenti Hotel Gala!!!”

L'hotel ha soddisfatto a pieno me e i miei amici: 1- il prezzo è molto vantaggioso! 2- la pulizia è eccellente. Si è accolti da un buon odore di pulito tanto nelle stanze quanto negli ambienti comuni. 3- ottima posizione. La spiaggia neanche due minuti a piedi; fermata del bus di fronte l'hotel...i bus a maiorca sono molto efficienti, frequenti, puliti. In poco tempo si raggiungono palma, el arenal, lo stesso aereoporto.  4- cibo in abbondanza e delizioso! Lo chef è veramente bravissimo oltre ad essere simpatico e disponibile, come tutto lo staff del resto!

Hotel Amic Gala in Can Pastilla: An Honest, Convenient and Very Mallorcan Place to Stay

Updated July 2026 Finding the right hotel in Mallorca does not always mean looking for the most luxurious property, the largest swimming pool or the most fashionable rooftop. Sometimes, the best hotel is the one that makes the whole trip easier. Hotel Amic Gala is a three-star hotel in Can Pastilla, located just a short walk from Playa de Palma. It offers a practical base for travellers who want to stay close to the beach, near Palma Airport and within easy reach of Palma city. It is not a remote resort. It is not an anonymous airport hotel. It is a straightforward Mediterranean hotel in one of the most convenient coastal neighbourhoods of Mallorca. And that is precisely its strength. Where is Hotel Amic Gala? Hotel Amic Gala is located in Can Pastilla , on the eastern side of the Bay of Palma. The hotel is only a few steps from the beach and the long seafront promenade connecting Can Pastilla with Playa de Palma. The surrounding area offers restaurants, cafés, ice-cream shops, terrac...
