Stil Bonsai

A very clean very friendly homely hotel well situated. The meals are very well prepared and presented. Great value for money.

Just got home from a week here and we have had the most relaxed holiday ever.
The rooms are spacious and clean with plenty of space.
Our room was cleaned daily and we had fridge, and safe. I requested a kettle at reception and was given it immediately. The safe cost me 15 euros for 6 days.
Air con was great we had to use blankets as I just couldn’t get it right we were either too hot or too cold but plenty of extra bedding and pillows in the cupboard to solve this.
Always space on the rooftop terrace for sunbathing but with the beautiful beach across the road we didn’t really use it. The sea was so clear and warm it was lovely.
Sunbeds cot me 23 euros for the day and with that we got 2 sunbeds an umbrella, extra mattress on the sunbed which did make a huge difference and a safe. We only used this on our last day as we took lilos down we purchased from the local shop for 7 euros each and sunbathed on them.
Food at the hotel was great for us. A different choice every day and it was always hot and really tasty. Younger children may struggle. But always a soup of the day with fresh bread, fish or meat dish and fresh fruit, cakes and different desserts. Breakfast covered everything you needed to set you up for the day. Coffee, juices, sausages, bacon, beans, eggs, potatoes, mushrooms, cakes, fresh fruit and yoghurts.
Drinks were extremely fair priced at the bar attached to the hotel. It cost us 5.50 euros for a pint of shandy and a Fanta lemon.

Really enjoyed our 11 nights at this hotel. Small and friendly, just how we like it. The staff are hard working, professional and very friendly. Rooms are spacious with modern bathrooms, air-conditioning and adequate sized balconies. I could not fault the food, 5 choices every evening and everything I ate was delicious. The location was perfect! A few nice bars, restaurants and shops close by, the Don Juan attached to the hotel is excellent. Good food and great prices. A nice, scenic, flat, 20 minute walk takes you into the main town which has a fabulous vibe. Plenty of good places to eat and drink with lots of shops to browse. Would not hesitate to recommend or return to this lovely little hotel.

Just returned from a lovely stay at this hotel. Spacious, comfortable rooms, great bathrooms with large, modern shower. The food available was really good, hats off to the chef! All staff were professional, attentive, friendly and hard working. Location for us was perfect! Some great restaurants and bars in the vicinity. A very pleasant 20 minute walk takes you into the main town, gets busy but a great atmosphere. Would not hesitate to return!

This was our first visit to the Hotel Bonsai — we would strongly recommend it and will be back.
Overall Impression.
The hotel is spotless, and the public room immaculate and comfortable.
Facilities.
The sunbathing area has plenty of sun umbrellas and we never had any problem obtaining a lounger.
We enjoyed using the indoor swimming pool and jacuzzi — there is also a sauna.
Dining Room Experience.
In recent years, we have taken all inclusive holidays, where — inevitably — there is a slight conveyor belt feel, as you are not encouraged to linger. However, at the Bonsai, you are not rushed — and when you want to relax and enjoy your holiday, that makes a huge difference. The service was friendly and efficient. Drinks were also reasonably priced.
Food.
For us, the one of the highlights of our stay was the food, especially the evening meal. We were impressed by the quality, range, and variation. Everything was clearly prepared with care and the buffet section was kept clean at all times. A huge thank you to the chefs for all their hard work.
Staff.
It would be unfair to identify individual members of staff, as there was such a friendly and family atmosphere at the hotel — from reception, cleaning, waiting staff, bar staff and chefs. We were very well looked after.
Not related to the hotel, but some additional comments.
Getting about.
One couple used the Ting Ting train (stop opposite) to get into town (stop 5 or 6), for just 4.5 euros each.

Small hotel, but very clean. Nothing was too much trouble. Close to an excellent beach.
15 min walk onto the Center.
We was excellent I was dubious reading previous comments, but there is something for everyone. Carmen in the resteraunt was very professional in her role. More attentive than in the all inclusive hotels.
Allison on the front desk was very helpful and informative.
All in all we would definitely go back.
To be picky, requires a little updating,
Charge for safety deposit.
But all in all would definitely recommend hotel Bonsai, if you want a quiet holiday.
But short walk to bars/restaurants 😁

Absolute gem of a hotel, I checked the reviews before I booked a week in this hotel, some were very disrespectful!
We checked in very late, Alison was great and we slept like babies 😌 according to previous reviews the food was awful when in actual fact it was delicious, not a lot of choice but that’s not a problem, we always had a very good breakfast and dinner. The ice cream at this hotel is the best we have ever tasted.
The hotel was spotless, every member of staff was polite and couldn’t do enough for you, we were room 101, 4 steps to a huge terrace for sunbathing, reading and napping. Indoor pool was perfect, yes the ceiling maybe needs abit of attention, but the pool itself fabulous x.
The beach is literally 5 mins walk across the road 😊
The snack bar Don Juan was great for drinks and snacks, and good value.
We returned home completely rested and relaxed, thank you to all at the hotel for a great holiday x.

Just had a week at this lovely hotel, room lovely, cleaned daily, staff very friendly and helpful. Food tasty and plentiful, couldn't have wished for anything better. Great bar outside and lovely snacks. Short walk to the beach. Definitely be coming back.

Everything about the stay was enjoyable. Quick check in and very helpful staff. Angel at reception very helpful. Food was lovely and lovely bar outside Don Juan where you could sit and watch the world go by. Very reasonable drinks. Clean throughout.

Very clean. Intimate and quiet hotel. Modern rooms. Pool lovely. Beach is around the corner. 20 walk to the center high street. Lovely place for people who like to rest. It can get busy and the vibe goes up as summer comes. The staff is absolutely fantastic and helpful. Room service every day. The food is always.
Fresh and tasty. Really recommend it.

The Stil Bonsai is a lovely small and calm hotel that suited us just fine. We liked the fact that we were at the quiet end of C'an Picafort even though it was the very end of the season and places were closing down around us. The rooms are perfectly clean and serviceable and the staff obliging throughout.
However, the thing that lets it down is the food quality and variety. The dining room was extremely civilised with no queuing and nice cloth tablecloths and napkins making for a pleasant and comfortable environment. We were perfectly happy to accept that the choice would be limited in a small hotel (and I actually advocate this rather than having a lot of wastage) but we were both disappointed with what was on offer. When there is only two meat, one fish and one pasta dish to choose from every night I wouldn’t have expected to have seen beef stew on the menu 6 or 7 times in the fortnight. The salad bar and desserts were very basic too. No nice fresh pastries at breakfast either, just packet wrapped muffins or biscuits. We are usually the type of people to scoff (no pun intended) at others when they say a hotel buffet is repetitive but I have to admit it was very 'samey' and unadventurous, and, although we didn’t go hungry, we were never really looking forward to our meals — which is a shame as it is a major part of most peoples holidays.

Lovely little hotel. Food not so good. Staff very friendly and obliging. Good entertainment in the hotel San baulo opposite. Plus we had good weather for late October… Probably would visit again maybe a bit earlier. Would maybe suit an older person because it's very peaceful…

Absolutely brilliant we were there for 2 weeks and after reading all the negative reviews I started thinking 🤔 have we made a mistake.
Definitely not we couldn't find fault with anything.
I have IBS and I'm lactose intolerant I asked Angel at the reception if they did soya milk.
And the very next day Christina the waitress brought it out for me as soon as I walked into the restaurant.
The food suited us perfectly the chef new I had stomach problems and he kept asking me if I was okay with the food.
Plus he cooked separately for me.
Where else could you get service like that.
We met people who returned year after year.
We have already booked again for 2025
Yes it's more for older people so it suited us perfectly.
A special mention to Angel at Reception as he was a real gem.
And Christina the waitress was just perfect.
Beds were comfortable and the wife was superb.
The local bar was great for relaxing.
We just can't wait to return.
Many thanks to the whole team at the Bonsai hotel you really made our holiday.

The hotel is clean and close to the beach. Staff so friendly and great at their jobs. Great air-con but that is it. Beds hard and just couldn't get a decent nights sleep, waking up aching all over. As for the reviewer saying about the food being hot, well, that was a joke. Breakfast, scrambled eggs were excellent but fried potatoes, beans, were not hot just slightly warm, and as for the mushrooms, always cold. Dinner, not much better. For the seven nights we were there, only two nights we had a decent meal. Food was generally bland and more of the 'cheap' cuts of pork. Again, some of the veg was not that hot. This is the first hotel we have been in where after dinner, you can't get a coffee or tea unless you go into the bar and pay for it. On the plus side, there was a mini market (Spar type shop, see photo) directly opposite the main entrance where you could get water, 7 up etc, crisps/snacks and a reasonable selection of wine and the manager made us feel like locals, so friendly and helpful. The hotel bar was OK with a pint of lager at 2.5 Euros and the baguettes were lovely, so were the cocktails.

We have just spent 2 weeks at Stil Bonsai and had a fantastic holiday. This is a small, no frills hotel and excellent value for money. Its in a great location 25 mins walk from can picafort. Hotel is 2 mins from beach in heart of Son bou. Hotels bar over looks the little square with fountain, where you can relax people watching till your hearts content.
The hotel is dated but spotlessly clean and has great air-con. We were half board. It was so nice not having to walk round a huge resturant, looking for a free table, queuing for food. Less choice but the breakfast was excellent. We had just a couple of evenings where it was tricky to make up a meal (veg etc) like most hotels but otherwise food was great. All fresh cooked and piping hot.
What really makes this hotel so speacil is the staff. They go over and above and make you very welcome. A speacil mention for the excellent, hard working, proffessional waitress Cristina who is the heart of the hotel. The resturant is so well organised. She greets each and every guest, nothing is to much trouble and is so attentive to the needs of guests. Greatly missed on her days off.
*Please note — if you have difficulty with stairs there is only 1 lift in the hotel and no ground floor rooms should there be a problem with the lift.

Fabulous location and hotel. Very clean and close to the beach. The food in the evening was always plentiful and full of flavour, the chef really takes pride in his meals and asks for feedback. Breakfast was the same everyday and some days wasn't the best but there was always something to eat. The rooms are very spacious and fantastic Aircon. We had a walk in shower that was really good and powerful. The pool was very refreshing and always quiet so we had plenty of jacuzzi time to ourselves. There is also a sauna but we didn't try due to being too hot from the weather. The only negative thing I can say is not enough towels are provided or toilet roll by the house keepers but the reception quickly sorted that out. The beds are very comfortable but are hard and possibly memory foam. We would definitely return. Me met a few people who return to this hotel yearly which tells you what sort of hotel this is 👍 thank you stil bonsai.

I initially read all the reviews after booking this holiday and was concerned that we were going to be eating at various restaurants because the food is reputabley so awful. I have to say, there is always something to eat and Ifound it quite amusing watching what other holiday makers would put on their plates as a side dish; one person had mashed potatoe with pasta in a marinara sauce, my husband included.
An example of the food on offer on one evening: grilled pork ribs, roasted chicken with green beans, potato wedges, croquet potatoes, sprouts, and pasta with Mediterranean roasted vegetables in a marinara sauce and on the salad bar: Lettuce, olives, Pickles, beetroot, Peppers, tomato and tuna. On the side there are always bread rolls and a soup of the day.
Now for the desserts: two different flavours of homemade icecream flavours of the day, cold rice pudding, a flavoured jelly of the day, a roulade, a cake of the day, plus others. The food through the hour and a half is plentiful, nothing ever runs out as they are forever adding more and they positivity encourage you to go back for seconds.
If you are looking to experience Spanish food you can either have a wonderful lunch at one of the Spanish restaurants facing the sea view or have an odd evening out for a Spanish meal, either way you will not go hungry.
