Don Juan Hotel

1 reader found this review helpful

me and 3 friends just got back and went to this hotel. was great! staff were helpful, the cleaners were good (cleaned everyday), good in day, nice and quiet at night. not far from all the clubs but not close so you can hear them. nice and warm and lots to do. really good. its a must do!!

Not a bad hotel, the receptionists are ok one is extremely helpful and the other is not, the hotel is in a great location close to bus route and not too close to strip so less noise.
The pool is not too good unfortunately but its only a 5 min walk to the beach which is great! the food is very good apart from the deserts! as basically u have a choice of mushy stuff, mushy stuff, mushy stuff or more mushy stuff!! not nice! all the other food was great especially the chicken nuggets! and the chefs are really good, but some of the catering staff can be abit depressing.
The rooms are ok and the beds are comfortable with kind of memory foam matresses, the walls are thin however so if u have problems sleeping take ear plugs! The air conditioning is spot on and tends to keep the room at the perfect temp. The maids are very friendly and will open your door in the morning but if u are in the room they will call back later.
Overall not a bad hotel, the staff are not too strict and friendly enough, good location and I would stay there again!

the hotel was ok.just the walls are thin and the room was too small.but I can say I wouldn't go back.If you want a cheap hotel with this conditions is ok,not too bad.The food was good and was clean.

After reading previous reviews we didnt know what to expect from the hotel however on arrival the staff were friendly and happy to help. We recieved the wrong key for our safety deposit box however reception quickly suplied us with the right one. The hotel room was clean, the maids cleaned everyday however be ready for the early wake up call! they do leave you to get back to sleep. Fresh towels and linen could have been supplied on a more regular basis. The food was very similar each night but there was always something that we liked. Blackie Blackie supplied good day entertainment trying to get all the guests involved in various aerobic activities, the pool area did get quite full by mid afternoon so if you want a sunbed try to get there a little earlier we did manage to find one each day. It was in a good location as it was a 10 minute walk away from the centre which meant that you could sleep after a night out. The Local Pub is definitely a great place to try with good english food and cheep drinks! Adam will be happy to help you out there. So we were happy with the hotel and would be happy to retern there in the future.

We stayed at the Don Juan in July 2010. We were very pleased with the room as it was clean and spacious. As well as this the location of the hotel is brilliant if you are looking for an exciteing holiday as it is only a ten minute walk from the best clubs, shops and the beach. The pool area at the hotel is good and on AI you get a free bar until midnight. The only negative aspect of this hotel is the food is awful. For example the soup was very thin and watery and the main dishes i could have cooked better myself and i cant cook. I would recommend this hotel if you arnt really bothered about the standard of the food because everything else about the hotel is very good. I would definately go again but on a room only basis.

we got back from Magaluf today and I am so glad to be home we Stayed at the don juan for two weeks when we arrived and checked in they had given our room to someone else the kept hold of our passports when we went to collect them the couldn't find them. we hired a safety deposit box for the two weeks we paid 30 euros when we went back to collect our key their was a note in with our key to say that we had not paid enough we asked how much it was and was told it was 24 euros for the two weeks when we produced a reciept for what we paid they had to give us some money back.
The room was ok if you didn't look under the bed to see the stour it was cleaned every day but with fresh towels but the towels often came back marked which was disgusting the shower head in our room was hanging off so unless you took it off to shower the floor got covered in water. If your a vegetarian forget it we ended up eating out even though we were half board even the veg had meat in it.
we have had hardly any sleep because of the noise of music and youngsters coming in at 4am shouting slamming doors and playing dance music when we reported it to reception some one would tell them to turn it down but as soon as they went it started again and also the hotel across the road had idiots throwing bottle at people from their balcony. so unless your aged between 16 & 25 and single forget it worst holiday we have been on so you make up your own mind but we will never be going back.

We stayed at the Don Juan in June 2010 it was a horrid nightmare. The whole trouble was the noise at night dreadful, and the sad part of it was that all the trouble we had was because of the English louts. The food was not as bad as we had expected, although by the end of our stay we had had enough of it. Rooms were kept clean and clean towels were always there. Staff were very friendly and always helpful. To make this a good place to stay the hotel needs to become less tolerant with the teenagers, at half past four in the morning people need to sleep. There were quite a few small children there, and we thought how thoughtless these youngsters were. No-one is stopping them from having a good time but they also should show some respect for others. We will not be returning there.

Please dont listen to these negative snotty reviews about the don juan! just come back from a week there and would defo defo go again. The hotel was spotless, clean, spacious and staff were more than welcoming, friendly, and polite. Rooms big, beds comfy and air con in all rooms. So its not the ritz but its cheap cheerful, great location, only 5 mins walk to main strip in magaluf but just far enough to have a good nites sleep. we were all inclusive and got more than our moneys worth in drinks, food was ok, always something u could eat, bit repetative but wat do u expect for such a cheap hol??? pool was great, plenty a sunbeds to go round (and all had comfy cushions on) Pirates is over the road and western waterpark was 2 mins up the road. Beach is 2 mins walk away! If you want somewhere nice to eat theres a lush chinese restaurant/takeaway on the corner. So dnt worry about these negative reviews, if people want 5 star then book 5 star!! get booking the don juan and i promise, u will have a great time!!!

2 Scottish lads arrived at the Don Juan expecting the worst, after reading the reviews, but were surprised to find a clean, spacious hotel. The staff at reception were (fairly) helpful. The room was air conditioned.. bliss after a night on the piss! Our mates stayed next door in the Martinique, which is known as 'the zoo' for a reason. In comparison our hotel was like a palace. Spent most days down at the pool, the food was a bit dodgy- avoid chicken nuggets, they were not cooked properly- but compared to previous holidays I have had in Spain it was pretty decent. The self proclaimed 'Blacky Blacky' (yeahhhh!) was a good laugh, initiating plenty of fun, including catching a pole before it hits the ground, salsa dancing, aerobics and football. (Be warned, football matches are played on concrete and can get a bit dangerous!)
Overall I thought the hotel was good, never had any problems with theft, however I could of sworn i spotted a random guy in my room from the poolside. Thankfully, nothing was taken. The nightlife is amazing and I would definately recommend visiting The Local pub, look out for our T-Shirt pinned to the DJ box, also does an excellent mid morning fry up, the perfect hangover cure.
9/10, would definately return!
