On arrival at the hotel we had the quickest check in ever. We had a family room, on the seventh floor, which was clean and comfortable. Bedding and towels were changed every day. All of the rooms have a fantastic sea view.

The food was good. In addition to the main restaurant, there is a pizzeria open till midnight, snack bar and a barbecue on every evening. The main resturant served a typical Spanish buffet and there was also a roast every night. It was either turkey, pork or veal. The staff were all very efficient and friendly. The queue for drinks went down very quickly. The drinks selection was great for all inclusive

We arrived on the 14th August & was allocated a room straight away. It was on the 5th floor with a sea view, but overlooking the annexe with only a partial view of one of the pools.

This wasn't a problem as it was far quieter late at night than having a room overlooking the stage area.

Room was air conditioned which you adjusted yourself and although it diddnt come on as a blast of cold air, the room gradually climatized to a cooler temperature as long as you kept the balcony doors closed.

Room was slightly cramped as we had four beds in it but it certainly wasnt tiny but bigger than I'd expected. We had a tv in the room which had BBC1 on amongst other foreign channels and eurosport etc.

Towels were changed daily and beds changed twice weekly. Rooms were cleaned and beds made each day.
Maid was pleasent and friendly and always accomodating and polite.

We hired a safe which was about 40 euros for the duration (I know its steep but cannot remember exact price) This is invaluable as without this, if something goes missing you have no claim on the hotel.

Staff was always polite and knew me by sight as I kept on leaving the key for safekeeping (like you are allowed to-- a great idea)

Breakfast is between 8am - 10a.
Lunch 1pm - 3pm
Dinner 6.30pm - 9pm.

Pizza place is open from 12pm till 12am.

Pool bar from 10am till 12pm.

Bars open similer hours.

Food quite varied but as with all buffets repetitive sometimes, but something for everyone.
Got fed up with veal though it never came out much more than anything else. But it was always cooked nicely.

Ice cream in a tub is yummy !

Two pools, both not enough shallow parts. Main pool is accesed by steps leading into the shallow bit but a few strides and it gets deep quick. Make sure young non swimmers are supervised or wear armbands so can play safely.

Lifeguard is always present.

Several times during the day, a tune rings out which signifies activities for both adults & kids are starting which are announced by the animation team. You just turn up to join in.

In addition to this there is a kids club under cover between certain times and run by one of the animation team.

Entertainment was better than expected, with quizzes singers, dancers, acrobats , parrot show main show started at 10pm bingo 9.30pm and mini disco at 8.30pm
Also every night certificates are given out to the winners from the days activities, and you add them up as points to get gifts from reception.

From the pool area there are steps leading to a grassed area where a nightly BBQ is lit between certain times. Follow the steps down and you come to a shop selling the usual lilos, drinks etc.
(TIP buy your lilos at the town five mins walk away its cheaper and more varied)

Follow the path down and you come to Cala domingos beach. A lifeguard is always on duty.
(TIP) buy a an after bite pen from your local chemist, it claims to help with amongst others, jelly fish stings should you be unlucky to encounter one as we did one day on our hols !.

Just outside the main enterance there is a football court, and a small park (swings missing) five mins walk is the town, which has bars, the usual shops, crazy golf and a chemist in the center next to the centeral crazy golf.

All in all a super hotel & we will go back next year money permitting.

The hotel America was a lovely hotel, when we arrived we had to wait 2hrs for our room as it wasnt ready yet I personaly didn't mind.

Hotel room was fab, spacious with a double balcony lookin at the beach/sea and pool it was lovely. Room cleaned and beds made every day.

Pools were nice and clean rather deep though and be rather cold.

Beach Bar can get realy busy the food is nice here it serves toasties, burgers, hotdogs, there salad stuff and also plenty of fruit.

Resturant is ok gets rather borin after a while to much veal served every day.

Entertainmant is all rite parrot show is fab and cool in the gang. Dawn the rep is fantastic(thomas cook)

We got back 2 days ago, from a fantastic family holiday. The hotel is very clean in all areas. The food was of a very good standard. There was a carvary every night. One night veal, another pork and another turkey. Even though it was quite repetitive, we personally didn't find this a problem after all i sure everyone is repetitive at home. In the serving area there was also a choice of other meat dishes, fish and veg. If anyone has cause for complaint then they are just extremely fussy. The location of the hotel is fab, overlooking the beach cove and the ocean. The hotel has 3 pools, 1 small & 2 large. There are loads of shops. Its a little like a maze. Shops are all in the middle. Lovely quaint resort. 2 mini golf courses.
Hotel staff are excellent very friendly. Entertainment OK but could be better, however that really wasnt a problem. Children's mini disco 8.30pm - 9.00pm bingo 9.30pm - 10.00pm and show 10.00pm - 11.00pm. Overall fab Holiday very relaxing. Never gone all inclusive before so was a little dubious, would definitely go again.

Just returned back from 2 weeks at this hotel. The hotel was very clean and staff were friendly.The food was ok but very repetetive. You had a large choice of foods for adults, but not a great deal of choice for the childrens buffet. Snack bar around the pool area was very busy and due to the high season you did have to be patient. The staff were very quick in getting the queues down.The maid was in our room every day cleaning, making the beds and giving us fresh towels. Our room was on the 7th floor and we had a very spacious room(Nr the lift).
Entertainment was poor. The hotel however did put on some shows in which were worth watching. Mini disco for the kids is at 8.30pm-9pm in which the children enjoyed. Many activities ongoing all day to to keep the children entertained.The children also attended the mini club in which they really enjoyed.
The only problem we had with this hotel is that if you need a parasol then you had to be up at 6.15am to get one! Then the sunbeds. The sunbeds are all locked up at night and unlocked at around 8.30am-9am. If you want one of these then you had to be at the pool area by 7.30am to reserve your bed on the pile or you would never get one!!! The hotel doesnt have no were near enough sunbeds and parasols! So if you are thinking of going to this hotel and want a sunbed, then be prepared for no lie in on your holiday!
Due to high season the hotel seemed full. The pool area was packed and not much room between sunbeds to move around. Swimming pool was cleaned everyday and then checked by the lifeguard as he came to work. The only problem we had with the pool is that they allowed to many inflatables in the water and you struggled to keep a watch on your children while they were playing.To us this was a danger.

Hotel was in best location in this resort. Beach down steps that would be difficult if you're not fit.

No complaints about hotel, staff friendly enough, food very good could always find something to eat.

Hhotel room average size but there are larger rooms for four.

We had a lovely holiday here and would go back in the future but a week is long enough as there is not that much to do. Went to pirates show in Magaluf, excellent show expensive but worth it.

The only gripe we would have was the hotel pools were much too cold but my son loves the beach anyway. If you have booked go and enjoy i'm off to the gym to shift some pounds after indulging all week.

We booked this on the Wednesday for a really good price and flew on the Saturday.

The hotel looked like a bit of a concrete monstrosity but you don't spend the week looking at it as you are inside it so that was fine.

The room we were given was in the annexe on the ground floor, a very nice and fairly big room but the balcony was not very good and I don't like being on the ground floor so we asked to be moved, We were moved into the main hotel on to floor 7 on the Monday, the room was a lot smaller but had a view over the pool and beach and we were happier.

The food was fine with plenty of choice although sometimes things would get changed half way through service.The restaurant felt a bit crowded at times and occasionally it was difficult to find a seat.The bar snacks were nice as was the pizza and although it said no food to be taken outside from the pizza place everybody did.

All the staff were friendly, the bar staff always had a smile and the beer was San Miguel which kept hubby happy.
We ate out twice and would recommend Bar Mallorca next to the kids play area and the grill place which is the 1st one you come to walking up from the hotel I think it was called Arista?

We would go again if the price was right.

Stayed at the America from the 14th of May for 1 week. Our party were allocated 2 rooms on floor 8 which had great views of the sea and the coast line.

The hotel was renovated in 2005 so the hotel is in great order and kept clean at all times.

As it was May I would guess that the Hotel was only around 65% full and this was evident in the dining room as a large area was unused. It was also no problem getting a sunbed.

There was an outside bar open from 10.00 until 18.00 hours which served great snacks. We used this facility at lunch time most of the week.

The entertainment at night was held inside as it was still May in a non smoking bar. We did not visit this bar during the evenings so I can not comment on the entertainment. There was also an adults only bar where smoking was allowed and this bar had access to an outside patio area.
We dined in the restaurant in the evenings and the food was of a good standard.

The only hitch was that the choice was limited compared to other A/I that we have been to. A pizza restaurant was also open from 12.00 until 24.00 and this was used well by all guests.

This was a great hotel to stay in and we hope to return again soon.
