The rooftop pool is also mentioned, although one review describes it as more of a dipping pool than a large swimming pool. If spa access is important for your stay, it is worth checking opening times with the hotel.
How big is the gym at Es Princep, and is it suitable for a real workout?
Reviews describe the gym at Es Princep as small and basic. One guest mentions 1 treadmill, a dumbbell set and 1 weight machine. It can cover a short session, but the equipment is limited compared with a full-size fitness centre. If you plan a longer workout, it is best to check the current setup first.

Reviews mention breakfast at Es Princep with a buffet plus à la carte options, including local Mallorcan products. It can be taken in the restaurant or on the rooftop terrace. One review notes that the rooftop brunch runs until 12:00, so arriving earlier is useful if you want that setting.
How noisy are the rooms at Es Princep, especially street-facing or sea-facing rooms at night?
Reviews suggest that room noise at Es Princep depends on the room location. Street-facing rooms can pick up traffic or nearby nightlife noise when windows are open, while other rooms are described as quieter. If you are sensitive to noise, it is sensible to request a room away from the street when booking.
How private are the bathrooms and toilets in the rooms at Es Princep?
Several reviews mention that some rooms at Es Princep have open-plan bathrooms or toilets separated by glass. Privacy therefore varies by room type. If you prefer a fully enclosed bathroom, it is best to ask the hotel before booking so they can confirm the room layout.
