Leonardo Royal Hotel Mallorca
Bay-of-Palma views with a fenced kids' pool
About this hotel
Leonardo Royal Hotel Mallorca sits in Palmanova with views over the Bay of Palma, close enough to the beach for a short stroll down once the pool day winds up. The outdoor pool and sun terrace handle the adult swim, while a separate, fenced children's pool section next door gives younger guests their own shallow space to wade without sharing depth with adult swimmers. A full daytime and evening activity programme keeps kids occupied in organised group play, which frees up a stretch of the afternoon for parents to read on the terrace rather than supervise poolside. The property sits close enough to Western Water Park for a splash-zone morning at the hotel to roll into a slides afternoon at the park without much driving, useful for families splitting a week between the two.

Our take
Leonardo Royal suits families with a toddler who needs a fenced, shallow pool section and an older sibling who wants the organised activity programme to make friends with other kids on-site. The Bay of Palma views and terrace add a genuine adult wind-down moment once the activity team takes over. Families who want to be directly on the sand rather than a stroll from it, or who prefer a quieter hotel with no kids' programme running, should look elsewhere.
- ✓Sign kids up for the activity programme at check-in, since the daytime sessions fill by mid-morning during school-holiday weeks.
- ✓Book early for a room with a confirmed Bay of Palma view, since not every category faces the water.
- ✓Head to the fenced children's pool before the terrace fills up, especially right after breakfast when families arrive together.

Why guests love itWhat stands out at Leonardo Royal is the physical separation between the children's pool and the main swimming area: a parent on a sun lounger can actually watch a toddler wade without standing at the fence line. The daytime activity programme absorbs an older child for long enough that the terrace becomes a genuine break rather than supervised downtime, and the walk to Palmanova's beach is short enough to fold into the same afternoon without feeling like a separate outing.
