The Maristel is the affordable way onto Mallorca's wild west coast: an adults-only village hotel whose pool and better rooms look down the valley to the sea, with sea-view rooms from about 160 euros. Pay the step up to Dreaming Sea and check what your rate includes. Smart money on the wild coast: a modest village hotel whose pool, terraces and better rooms look down the valley to the sea, with sea-view rooms from about 160 euros. It is a hire-car and walking-boots kind of place, with no beach on the doorstep and plain rooms at the bottom of the ladder.
It has indoor and outdoor pools. There is no beach; the nearest is a drive away.
Book it for the village and the mountain view from about 180 euros a night, and take the room with the balcony. Pack light: the stairs come with the convent. A small, characterful village house rather than a resort: an old convent with simple rooms, a terrace facing the mountains, a small pool and the square of Fornalutx on the doorstep. You come for the place and the price, and you eat out.
