I stayed at the Pabisa Sofia for two nights after our flight home was cancelled by easyJet. We booked a sea view room and was allocated a sea and pool view room when we arrived. The reception was helpful and we was checked in very quickly. We was allocated a room on the seventh floor. The communal landing smelt of fresh paint and appeared to have been renovated recently. Our room was modern and very clean but small in size, but this wasn’t an issue for us as it was just me and my five year old travelling. The bathroom has a shower and space is quite limited but manageable. The view was great and we had a functioning tv and fridge in the room. We stayed half board as it seemed such a good deal. The food was of a good standard with lots of choice available at breakfast and dinner. At dinner there was even an ice cream section, sweet area and lots of cakes to choose from. At dinner they even had fresh shell on prawns one evening. Myself and my son was impressed. Drinks cost extra at dinner but at breakfast there are juices and water available. The waiting staff in the restaurant are really friendly and helpful. Always greeting us and making conversation which was a nice touch. Especially for my little one who’s trying to learn Spanish. The hotel pool is lovely and there’s also a pool bar. There was no issue with getting a sunbed, however there are trees surrounding some of the pool area, which made it quite shaded in parts during the morning, but there was plenty of sunbeds to move too if you wanted to be in the sun. The hotel was a mix of younger/older adult groups and couples. Even still the pool area during the day was very chilled. My only downside to this hotel was that smoking is allowed around the pool, which wasn’t great as I don’t smoke and I don’t really like that around my five year old. But we just moved sunbeds away from people smoking. It would be better having an area for smoking away from the pool or an area for smoking to take place away from the kids pool. The hotel is located close to the beach, five minute walk max. There’s a great bar nearby called Bavaria where everyone danced and sung along to the e singers. The atmosphere was great. We was the only English in the hotel and resort it seemed, but the German people was friendly and a lot of fun. The hotel is also close to the aquarium, Dino mini golf and Palma too. The bus to Palma takes around 10-15 minutes and is the number 25 bus. We did it a few times and it was very easy and only 2eur. Other things that could be better are the pillows in the room. Or lack of them. We had two very flat pillows only which wasn’t the most comfortable. The rooms come with an air conditioning unit and ceiling fan so this makes the hot weather more bearable and the room more comfortable. There’s a supermarket a couple of minutes walk from the hotel and a drink machine and sweet area in the hotel too. Overall I would highly recommend this hotel and we would return. It was good value for money in my opinion.
