There are better adults-only hotels in Mallorca. Though there's nothing terribly wrong with the mid-range, 133-room Torre Azul, it isn't special enough to warrant a stay, aside from the inexpensive all-inclusive deals that entice many of its guests. Guest rooms, while unmemorable and a bit dreary, do have balconies and flat-screen TVs. Decor is hit and miss, the food is often unappealing, the pool is small, and the views are uninspiring. It does not deliver on its four-star status, but as a three-pearl, would be considered a better value. For a more cheerful, more freshly maintained option, the nearby Mediterranean Bay Hotel is a much better choice.

Mallorca is a breathtaking and topographically diverse island with countless small coves and corners to explore. The urban and touristy area of El Arenal, where the mid-range Complejo Luna & Luna Park Hotel is located, is not one of the island's finest areas. However, the acceptable beach within five minutes' walk, and easy access to souvenir shopping, entertainment, and nightlife, make this 550-room budget hotel convenient. There are also two on-site pools, including one with a DJ and live music. Guest rooms, though basic, are air-conditioned and have balconies. Those seeking an easy vacation with unlimited food and drink of standard quality for an affordable price may be pleased with this large and impersonal hotel. Some may prefer the nearby Sun Club Eldorado, however, which has an impressive oceanfront pool.

The upper-middle-range Mediterranean Bay is certainly one of the better-looking hotels on the slightly shabby edges of the lively El Arenal area. Set on a busy junction the setting hardly wows, though, and it's a 10 minute walk down a fairly steep hill to the beach. Inside is clean and modern, with the quiet, relaxed vibe expected from an adults-only hotel. Its 105 rooms can be on the small side, and sea views are scarce, but all offer hydro-massage showers. A huge whirlpool tub and swimming pool provide places to cool off, and the property offers all-inclusive dining plans, but the lack of gym and sports facilities could be a deal-breaker for some. For an adults-only option with easier beach access (though no pool), the Hotel Don Pepe is also a popular choice.

Unlike so many all-inclusive value hotels in Mallorca, the Caribbean Bay is not stuck in the '70s. The hotel has two outdoor pools and 224 modern rooms, decorated in a cheerful red-and-white color scheme, though they are nonetheless reminiscent of dorm rooms. A five-minute walk from a lovely beach and well-connected by local bus routes, the hotel is a convenient base for exploring Mallorca, though service can be a bit lagging. For a hotel with a more established reputation, finer dining options, and a more mature crowd, the nearby adults-only Hotel Don Pepe is worth a look -- though its upscale amenities come with a heftier price tag.
