Hotel y Apartamentos des Puig

We’ve visited Deia twice before but to rented accommodation. Our first stay at the Hotel Des Puig was excellent. The hotel is charming, quiet and perfectly placed, staff were professional, friendly and efficient. Our room no 35 (superior double) was a good size, clean and had everything we needed. We loved the large balcony with amazing views. The only slight criticism was that the balcony furniture was tired and there could have been some more moveable balcony furniture. The breakfast was great, full of healthy local produce and we loved the well stocked honesty bars. We look forward to returning.

Second time in this lovely little hotel and it was even better this time. We were a group of ten friends , mostly couples and all bikers. Rooms are so clean and newly renovated. I stayed in the junior suite with a large bathroom and shower was great. The view is amazing from the balcony. The owner is very helpful and made our four nights stay perfect. I also have to mention the breakfast. Wow. A lot of fresh fruits and charcuteries eggs and avocados. They also serve fresh orange juice, never had that on a 3star hotel before. Thank you Lucian and Irina for making our stay the best. We are coming back next year :)

It is genuinely hard to describe how perfect this hotel is-I could not stop smiling for the whole of our 4 night stay! The real highlights are the stunning views from the wonderful pool and breakfast area; the tranquility can’t be matched. Everything else-breakfast, decor, staff are outstanding. I cannot imagine Deia’s far more expensive hotels offer anything better-Hotel d’es Puig feels like a wonderful little secret!

I tried to book an additional service for friends staying at the hotel. Reception was unhelpful and shouted and most unaccommodating. I was trying to book and pay for value added service. I understand it may not be possible but the manner of communication for a hotel of this apparent calibre is very poor.

Another fabulous few days in this gem of a hotel. Lucian is the most gracious host, nothing is too much trouble. We staying a the lovely apartments near to the main hotel, already looking forwards to my next visit

Stayed at this hotel with my family (including two babies aged 2 and 1 years old). We booked an apartment which was exactly as expected. Well equipt kitchen with everything you would expect. Five minutes from the centre of Deia and parking for residents which was fantastic. The noise from the apartments above was at times loud at times but we do usually have white noise on with the children so not a problem for us - if you are sensitive to noise you may wish to consider a hotel room instead (separate building from apartments) rather than the apartment. However, and for us this was the big but - Deia as gorgeous as it is doesn’t have much for small children. You could cover the whole town in one day. We knew this and booked this hotel which was advertised a heated swimming pool as we knew we would be able to entertain our kids by the pool most days even if the town was small. When we arrived we were told by the receptionist that the pool was no longer heated as the price of electric was too high. Later, we were told by the hotel owner that it was to do with hotels not being able to use electric to heat pools following the war in Ukraine. I’m not sure where the truth lies in between these reasons given and either way I sympathise entirely with both, but I do think the hotel shouldn’t be advertising a heated pool on their website if it’s a service they don’t provide. I’m sure they know that people will come under the duress that this is a service they offer as it’s currently advertised as such. The pool was quite literally freezing. My two year old referred to it as an ice bath throughout the entirety of our stay. No one with children under 10 could safely have their kids in a pool of that temperature for any prolonged time. This was during temperatures of 22 degrees. Even adults weren’t accessing the pool due to the temperature - I saw one adult access the pool the duration of our one week stay. My honest advice is, if you are travelling with kids and they don’t have the USP of having a heated pool then truthfully there are apartments just as nice in Valldemossa and Soller with a lot more to do to entertain your kids. Visit Deia for the day as public transport is excellent and this is what everyone else seems to do.
