This was my first time in Mallorca and therefore my first time in the Helios Hotel, and I had a fantastic week. I joined a cycle group that has stayed at the hotel for several years now, and it is a perfect choice, especially for a cycling vacation. It has large secure bike rooms in the basement, wash station and even a wall with route suggestions in case you come alone and unprepared. The rooms are clean and generous with a balcony (I even had a personal written welcome card and beverages upon arrival on my desk, thank you Margherita!). The reception staff was very friendly and helpful, answering all my (relentless) questions about Mallorca and the hotel etc, accommodating me right away despite my too early arrival. As part of the cycling group I chose half board, so breakfast and dinner was always a fun social gathering with great food. The food choices were plenty (almost too much to choose from) and the staff enthusiastic and friendly, especially Salah at the grille and Alejandro and Mickey, accommodating also my special requests if some of my favorite items were not on display some days. On a rainy day the spa (that you can rent out privately) was a great way to warm up again after a cold ride. The location close to the airport and the beach is perfect to start your bike routes, or to just head to Palma quickly with a bus stop behind the hotel. The weather was still a bit too chilly for the beach or even for hanging by the pool for a long time, but I still jumped in and enjoyed the shoulder massage jet after a long ride and then hopped into the indoor pool to warm up. Time flew by, and for my next Mallorca cylcling trip Helios would definitely be my first choice again.
