So I've got a good one today. We do have a hotel day pass to the Casa Sabonnas Apart Hotel
0:06
It is just about in Magaluf. It's just on the edge of Palma Nova too. I booked this day pass on a website called Hotel Break
0:14
If you are staying in an apartment block or you're staying with friends and you do not have access to a swimming pool
0:18
or maybe you're a resident as well and you just actually want to try out the hotels here in Mallorca
0:23
then there are plenty of hotels that you can book. So come on, let's go in and let's go and grab ourselves a sun lounger
0:30
So we've checked in and we've got our day passes here which you can see which allows
0:41
us access to the swimming pool so let's go out and see what it's like
0:55
it's very very busy today so we're gonna go and find a deck chair
1:10
now you can see how busy it is over here at the moment I'm doubting actually
1:14
whether there's going to be a sunbed free it's absolutely packed school holidays haven't really really started in the UK yet
1:22
There are plenty of kids over here and there are plenty of people over here too
1:29
I can see this hotel has got a great great pool area
1:35
We're going to absolutely love this for the day but the main issue is, is that we don't
1:39
actually see any sunbeds are free. Let's go and go back into reception and go and see what they say
1:47
Okay, so we couldn't get a sunbed. A lot of sunbeds here have been reserved by towels from those early risers who have been
1:56
blocking sunbeds off for the day. So I went to go and speak to the receptionist and she actually said to move the towels and
2:02
just to make sure that there are no bags with the towels or shoes either and just to make sure someone is actually there and using them Now they got a kind of a left items area in the Casa Sabonis Hotel underneath the palm tree where anyone who leaves any items at the end of the day can find them the next day or later
2:19
on during the day. So she said just pop those towels by the palm tree and those guests can
2:24
come and find their towels much later on. But reserving of sunbeds here is really strictly
2:28
not allowed. Whether you're staying here for the day or you're staying here on holiday
2:31
Okay, so we're going to go and try that now. We're going to go and find a couple of sunbeds
2:35
that have clearly been blocked off for the day and we're going to go and move those towels
2:40
Now, I'm not one for confrontation, so let's see how that goes. So we did it in this shady area here. There's a whole line of sunbeds which have, obviously
2:50
don't have anyone actually sitting on them. There's no bag and there's no shoes next to them
2:53
So grabbed a couple of them and we're going to use them for ourselves and enjoy the day
2:58
I was just having a quick look around the Casa Sabonha's art hotel. They've got some
3:04
really nice rooms actually. I know this hotel is disabled friendly but these ground floor
3:08
rooms look they've got their own little garden areas and deck chair areas. If you're coming
3:14
out here during the day when you do go out for the day make sure you draw your curtains because keep the sun out of your room and make it nice and cool when you come back
3:22
you can see this is a really low-rise hotel as well really nice green area too
3:29
I've seen olive trees here the palm trees but look this is why we've decided
3:34
to spend the day in a hotel today it may actually be cheaper to get some beds
3:38
down on the beach but it's actually quite a windy day and I'm not keen on the windy day on the beach that's why we have come to the hotel but you can see
3:44
how lovely it is here now thankfully nobody has come up to us to say that we
3:52
have stolen their sunbeds but as you can see that there are lots of sunbed hoggers here now a lot of
3:57
these people haven't actually been back to their sunbeds all day because well we've been down here
4:01
for a couple of hours this morning already and many of these sunbeds are actually empty so it's
4:07
worth knowing that if you are staying over here then and just check with the receptionist as well
4:12
if you can get yourself a sunbed go and talk to the receptionist and i pretty sure they going to be perfectly fine with you moving a towel and just using the sunbeds because it just not fair to hog them for the entire day Now I can see that this hotel is lifeguarded as well which is really good to see
4:27
There is only one lifeguard for two pools, but I can see there's a kids pool here
4:32
And just looking to my left here, there's an adults pool as well. And there's a little bridge in between and you can swim in between the two pools
4:40
And to my right hand side, I can see there's a little kids play area as well. There's also disabled access into the swimming pool I can see which is really good so if you
4:47
are coming over here with accessibility issues that's also really good to know too
4:58
So just off reception you will find the restaurant. For guests who have booked the Casa Sabonas
5:04
apartments you also have the option after booking to add on meals to your stay so it's 12 euros for
5:09
breakfast 20 euros for dinner or 32 euros to go half bored for the day and it's half price for kids
5:17
you can see you can book the cast of honors apart hotel with jet 2 and 2e so head on over to
5:24
mayorkerunderthesun.com click on the banner to either of these companies which should help you
5:29
make a saving on your next holiday there's also a little bookshelf here as well look they've got
5:34
Everything from kids' books here to adult books. It's kind of a little lending library here
5:40
Look, there's a book there by Graham Norton by The Comedian. So if you've come over without any reading material
5:46
you can, as the sign says, you can come and help yourself. Okay, so location-wise, the Casa Bonners Apart Hotel
5:54
is just literally down the road from the edge of Palma Nova and Magaluf
5:58
Keep on heading down this road, and you're going to have really good access to both resorts
6:03
okay so all this sitting around is actually quite thirsty work so i'm going to head to the bar
6:07
go and check out the prices of the drinks here today and i love this look at this it's 4pm we've
6:13
got a happy hour and all of these drinks here i won't get one free we're going in for the slushies
6:19
okay i know they not that healthy but hey we on holiday even if it is for just one day OK so this was almost potentially embarrassing but about quarter to four the people whose towels that we moved this morning to get the sun loungers well they came back and
6:40
they said to us oh well we reserved these sunbeds and let's just bear in mind here it was quarter
6:45
to four and we got here at 11 o'clock in the morning it's the first time we'd seen them during
6:49
the day so I explained that receptionist said that they were allowed to actually reserve some
6:54
beds and I could move their towels to which they were actually okay about it thank goodness because
6:59
that could have been just a really embarrassing and a horrendous confrontation which could have
7:04
ruined the day but just bear this in mind when you're on holiday as well if you see some beds
7:09
that aren't being occupied especially when it is for about six hours or something ridiculous then
7:14
just make sure you move those towels and you can also enjoy the sun lounges at a hotel
7:19
I did it, you can do too. Now what's really excellent about this hotel is that they had a full day of activities on too
7:27
So they had activities for children and music at night as well. They've got singers coming in too and that happens after dinner
7:34
So that's the full entertainment programme. So that's definitely worth checking out
7:38
However, we've had a fantastic day today over at the Cass Sub-Honors Hotel
7:43
I've actually managed to finish reading a book which I started well over a year ago
7:47
actually, well over a year ago. So it's actually nice to be on holiday, it's nice to do things that tourists do rather
7:53
than just running around making videos all the time and to actually be on holiday on
7:58
the island that I so often film about. Okay everyone, if you would like to experience a day here at the Casa Sabonnas, I'm going
8:05
to put a link in the description, text below this video. You can go and book it, or go and book a day in some of the other hotels around the island
8:13
So don't forget if you're staying here in an apartment block and you don't have access to a pool, this is really a cool thing to do
8:19
Go and try it. I really recommend it. Okay everyone, don't forget you can find me on the Facebook group and on my Instagram, also called Majorca Under the Sun
8:27
I also have a website called MajorcaUnderTheSun.com, so make sure you go and check that out for more information
8:33
