"The boutique Puro Hotel is a hip and stylishly urbane 51-room property with a beach-club vibe, all contained within an 18th-century mansion and private annex." Full review
Condé Nast Traveler "This 51-room all-white hotel in Palma de Mallorca’s Old Town cops a Goa-inspired hippie-chic attitude, with Indian wood carvings and piles of vivid textured pillows." Full review
Mr & Mrs Smith "The white-washed stone exterior of Puro Hotel in Palma, Mallorca, may not have changed much since the building's days as a 14th-century palace hotel, but the interior tells a different story." Full review

Frommer's "Set in a 13th-century castle in the Son Vida Hills, on a secluded hilltop overlooking Palma, this hotel has the island's best views. Several additional if less distinctive rooms are in a modern wing." Full review
Star Service "About 5 kilometers northwest of Palma, this hotel is designed to please golfers, high-end groups and executive roundtables." Full review

There are no niggling fees for Wi-Fi.
Smart guests will avoid the standard rooms in the annex, which have simple decor and mostly parking-lot views at high price tags.
Concierge "The hotel has two gorgeous pools and two excellent restaurants, along with one of Spain's best golf courses."
