Editor's note
The Hotel Saratoga boasts three distinct pools, each offering a different atmosphere. The standout is the rooftop pool, providing breathtaking panoramic views of Palma Cathedral and the bay, though it can get crowded. Two additional pools on the ground floor offer a more tranquil setting, including a heated spa-adjacent pool and a deeper option. While lounging space can be limited, the variety and views make the pools a key feature of the hotel.
