S'Arenal marks the eastern end of the splendid Playa de Palma, six or seven kilometres of soft white sand with safe bathing areas, water sports, lifeguards, beach showers, and regularly spaced balnearios or beach bars. The ex-fishing village is now almost totally given over to tourism, so there are plenty of facilities, and good connections to other parts of Mallorca.

The Luna Park is probably at the lower end of the three star band; it's situated at the southern end of town, not far from the yacht marina, next door to sister hotel Tropical Park, and about 500 metres from the beach. Not a child friendly or family hotel, and not suitable for travellers with physical disabilities, but popular with 18 to 30 year old visitors, mostly from Germany.
