Lovely hotel and very welcoming and friendly staff. The hotel is a short walk from Calvia beach and there's a lot of nearby shops, bars and restaurants. Gabriel and Mila who were the entertainment staff were very attentive, remembered the conversations you had with them the day before which is always nice. Food is lovely, not your typical beige buffet which is good, a lot of fresh food which is always welcomed. The entertainment in the evening was good, on our three nights we had bingo and two duo singers who were brilliant! All in all a good stay

The entertainment girls very good at their job. One, I think was Grace, a very good singer for karaoke, made sure she got others up to help. I got up once, was told she wanted me up again - I was good. She picked song. As I'm a Geordie she wanted one of songs we sing. Verse and chorus written out for her, since she understood music, that was written out to learn, 'When the boat comes in' from TV series. As she was Italian it was difficult getting her to understand Geordie dialect, what words meant but I did my best, hopefully it was something different for her. Good on her for trying!

Hotel was spotless very friendly staff nothing was a problem for them.
You are right in the heart of the shops and clubs but once your door and windows are closed on your balcony you can't really hear them.
Pool area was lovely and again spotless.
The only thing that let's this hotel down is choice in menu.
My daughter was at it's sister hotel they had the same menu but much bigger choice in food.

Originally via Easyjet our tour operator we were due to stay again at the Eix Lagotel in Alcudia but they changed our dates and venue. So we were moved to the Fergus Bermudas hotel in Palma Nova.
General
Whilst it was initially a shock (as we loved Eix Lagotel) we are happy to report we enjoyed our stay at Fergus Bermudas, which we found to be very clean.
Our Room (224)
We had a quiet pleasant twin room with a balcony over looking the tennis court which despite it being on a road junction was very well insulated. Comfy beds, nice storage spaces, British, French, German and Spanish TV channels and a great shower. Also as there is no natural water source directly next to the hotel, thankfully our room was mosquito free! The only downside was the bathroom had a recurring smell meaning we had to airate it throughout the day.
The Staff
The hotel had very friendly staff throughout, Salva on the bar and Alice in the restaurant were especially lovely.
Restaurant
The usual buffet’s for breakfast, lunch and dinner. As the buffet’s themselves I would say the breakfast was the best. The lunch and dinner buffets we found didn’t vary that much from one day to the next. Also the food whilst generally good was at times either hit or miss. The restaurant is attended by a friendly bunch of staff who get drinks for you from the bar whilst you dine.
All Inclusive
All meals included and light snacks on offer at other times. We don’t drink so only ever had soft drinks and hot drinks but assume there is a range of alcoholic drinks included (although we heard not all cocktails are included in the deal).
Other catering on offer
Sadly we found no bar menu on offer when the restaurant was closed. Whilst this didn’t greatly bother us, our 6 foot plus 15 year old looking to baulk on an all inclusive balked at the idea of an eclectic mix of petite sandwiches, cakes and viennoiserie’s on offer.
Hotel Facilities
The hotel we found was more geared towards couples and families with older children. There were only a few families with younger children. To this end there are no climbing frames our outdoor play areas for younger kids. There is also no gym on site, which for a 4 star hotel is unusual. However what they do have is:
Activities on site;
One pool with sun loungers around
Two way (poolside and inside) bar open from 11am till 10pm
Bingo (held each night and it was FREE!, the prizes were non all inclusive cocktails and a champagne bottle)
Evening events like live music and karaoke
Daytime events (board games, and family games)
Tennis court (tennis & badminton rackets with balls & shuttles available)
Table tennis (bats and balls maybe also available but never played it)
Pool table (this was out of order during our stay)
Outdoor soft seats
Paid bike hire available
Location, Location, Location!
The hotel has an excellent location. Just a 2 minute walk from two large beaches with a wide variety of shops and restaurants on the seafront within a 5-10 minute walk. For those wanting a nightlife, Magaluf is a 20 mins walk away or if don’t want to walk about 5 mins in a taxi.
Local trips
For local travel, you can take the 104 or 105 bus to the island’s capital Palma. The bus stop is pretty much outside the hotel. Tap in-Tap out on the bus with card or phone. 30 mins ride via motorway. The end of the line is an underground terminus so no need to fret about when to get off!
One final note, we came in the October half term, so sea based activities are very much weather and sea dependent. Having said this we managed to nab a 2-hour cruise on the Dolphin boat cruise.
In Conclusion…
We enjoyed our stay at Fergus Bermudas, whilst it lacks any wow factor, it is a pleasant clean hotel with friendly staff, great location and good amenities. We would definitely come back, but would recommend just varying the buffet slightly and introducing a bar menu.
