Okay, buckle up buttercups, because I'm about to unleash on Can Fabiol, the "hottest" villa in Majorca. And let me tell you, after a week of sun, sangria, and a whole lotta… well, everything, I have THOUGHTS. This isn't just a review; it's a cathartic explosion of my experience. Prepare for some rambling, some gushing, some outright disdain. Let's dive in.

(Now, the messy, honest, and wonderfully imperfect review…)
First Impressions & The "Adults-Only" Vibe:
Right, so picture this: me, bleary-eyed after a red-eye, stepping out of the taxi and… whoa. Can Fabiol is a looker. Lush greenery, that impossibly blue pool shimmering, and a general sense of… serenity? Yeah, that lasted about 30 seconds before I realized the other guests weren't exactly embracing the "silent reflection" vibe. More like, the "loud laughter, enthusiastic cocktail slurping, and… well, let's just say a lot of couples" vibe. Which, hey, good for them. But if you're coming expecting the quiet, hushed tones of a monastery, you might be a little disappointed. Embrace the convivial chaos!
Accessibility (Rambling Thoughts Incoming!):
Now, the brochure said accessible, and bless their hearts, they tried. Let's be frank-- I didn't need it. But I did make a point of taking a look, and from what I observed, the lobby was decent, it had the elevator (yay!). The pool area wasn't perfect (some of the pavers were a bit uneven), and I'm not positive about room accessibility layout. But hey, at least they clearly considered it, unlike some places. I'd suggest contacting the hotel directly for details though, since your needs might not be the same as mine. This is important because if you are wheelchair bound you need to contact the hotel.
Rooms! (The Air Conditioning Saga, and More):
My room… sigh. It was gorgeous. The "extra-long bed" was practically a runway, the soaking tub invited me in, and the "room decorations" (think tasteful artwork and, uh, a strategically placed mirror) were on point. BUT! The air conditioner. Oh, the air conditioner. It was a temperamental beast! One minute blasting arctic winds, the next wheezing like a dying vacuum cleaner before giving up and dripping like a leaky faucet. I nearly froze one night and then sweated like a marathon runner the next. They sent someone to fix it, of course, but the saga continued intermittently throughout my stay. Seriously, I wanted to scream. But the "bathrobes" were fluffy, and the "complimentary tea" was lovely, so… swings and roundabouts. I did enjoy the "coffee/tea maker", and the "free bottled water" was a lifesaver after a night of sangria and karaoke (don't ask).
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking (My Digestive System's Delight):
Okay, let's talk food and booze. This is where Can Fabiol really shines. The "breakfast [buffet]" was legendary. Eggs benedict? Yup. Freshly baked croissants? Double-yup. A truly impressive selection of hams, cheeses, and… well, everything. I indulged. I overindulged. I may have single-handedly depleted their supply of smoked salmon.
- Restaurants: YES! The "restaurants" themselves… well, there was the main one, with its "a la carte in restaurant" options and the "asian cuisine in restaurant" if you're feeling adventurous. The food was pretty damn good. Some dishes were sensational, and others… well let's just say they aimed for culinary masterpieces, but sometimes fell at the foot of the mountain (as my friend would say).
- Poolside Bar: AMAZING! The "poolside bar" cocktails were lethal. Seriously, they could knock out a rhino. I spent a significant portion of my time there, nursing my drinks and watching the sun set. The staff was brilliant- friendly, attentive, and always ready with a smile and a suggestion. The "happy hour" was an EVENT.
- Snack Bar: YES! The "snack bar" provided all day access to deliciousness, from sandwiches to salads.
The "bottle of water" was appreciated, of course. (Though, they also have a serious "bottle of wine" situation).
Things to Do (Or, How I Lost a Week to Relaxation):
- The Pool (With View!): YES! The outdoor swimming pool? Stunning. That view? Breath-taking. I spent hours just floating, gazing at the landscape, and sipping cocktails (yes, from the poolside bar, as mentioned above).
- Spa Time (Body Wrap, Body Scrub & Steam Room) YES! The spa: Pure decadence. The "body wrap" was divine, the "body scrub" left my skin feeling like silk, and I may or may not have fallen asleep in the "steamroom." Shhhhh, don't tell anyone. I am still shocked I was able to go, being so uncoordinated.
- Fitness Center (Gym/Fitness): I intended to use the "fitness center", but… well, the cocktails had other plans. It looked well-equipped though.
- Sauna: YES! The "Sauna" looked great as well.
Cleanliness & Safety (COVID-Conscious, Thank Goodness):
Look, being post-pandemic, I'm all about the clean. And Can Fabiol delivered on this front. "Anti-viral cleaning products," "daily disinfection in common areas", and "staff trained in safety protocol" were all reassuring. The "hand sanitizer" stations were plentiful, and you could tell they took things seriously. Plus, the option to "Room sanitization opt-out available" for those who were concerned (which I didn't really need to do, just because of their overall cleanliness). They also had "safe dining setup," and "individually-wrapped food options" for added peace of mind.
Services & Conveniences (From Luggage Storage to Car Parks):
- Front Desk/Concierge: YES! The "front desk/concierge," were super helpful. They sorted out a car rental for me, booked some excursions, and generally made my life easier.
- Car Park: YES! Free "car park". A huge plus.
- Laundry Service: YES! The laundry service was efficient (and much needed after a week of poolside lounging). I did not use the "dry cleaning" service…
- Air Conditioning in Public Area: YES! The AC in the "public area" was quite effective.
- Cash Withdrawal: YES! The access to "cash withdrawal" was convenient.
- Daily Housekeeping: YES! The "daily housekeeping" was amazing.
- Ironing Service: YES! Ironing service was provided too.
- Facilities for Disabled Guests: YES! They had the "facilities for disabled guests."
- Luggage Storage: YES! The "luggage storage" was great.
- Safe Deposit boxes: YES! They had the "safety deposit boxes" as well.
- Terrace: YES! The "terrace" was just gorgeous…
For the Kids : (NO!):
Thank god, there was no "for the kids" service. Thank god. I came to escape, and the lack of "babysitting service" or "kids meal" was very much appreciated.
Getting Around (A Quick Word on Transportation):
"Airport transfer" was available, but I opted for a taxi, which was easy to find. The car park [free of charge] was a bonus. Driving around the island is beautiful, and well worth it if you're used to driving in narrow, winding roads; "taxi service" seemed the best if you are not.
My Overall "Is It Worth It?" Verdict:
Despite the air conditioning drama and the occasional over-enthusiastic guest, Can Fabiol is a winner. It's a beautiful, well-maintained villa with fantastic amenities, delicious food, and a generally relaxing vibe (if you can block out the occasional revelry). It's not perfect, but that imperfection is part of its charm. I'd go back? Absolutely. (
Texel Beach Bungalow: 1.2km to Paradise! Your Dream Getaway AwaitsAlright, buckle up, buttercups, because Auntie (that's me, you can call me Auntie) is about to unleash a travel itinerary so gloriously unpolished, so delightfully chaotic, that it’ll make your perfectly curated Instagram feed spontaneously combust. We're talking Can Fabiol, Majorca, Adults Only, Private Pool… and the potential for absolute and utter delicious disaster. Let’s go!
Can Fabiol: My Beautiful Mess of a Majorcan Mishap (A Very Unprofessional Itinerary)
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Olive Oil Quest
14:00 (ish): TOUCHDOWN! Palma de Mallorca Airport. Okay, first impression… it’s hot. Like, "sweat instantly starts beading on your forehead before your luggage even hits the carousel" hot. Taxi to Can Fabiol. Pray the driver doesn’t think I’m completely insane for chattering about the "mythical allure" of a villa pool while he navigates those windy roads. I’ve already eaten a bag of airline peanuts; consider that my "fueling the journey" strategy.
15:00 (ish): Check-in. Oh lord, the villa! It’s even more stunning than the photos. And the pool… the pool looks like it’s been plucked straight from a postcard. Seriously, I did an involuntary gasp. This is living. But right away, the "Adults Only" part clicked into place. Peace and quiet. Pure bliss. Now, to conquer the mini-bar with a vengeance. And find the all-important, critically essential olive oil.
- Anecdote: Found the olive oil! After a frantic search involving turning over every saucepan and muttering under my breath about the "inconceivable situation of not having access to proper olive oil" (drama queen, I know), I discovered a beautiful bottle of what I can only assume is liquid gold. The quest was… triumphant.
16:00 - 18:00: Pool time! Floating around like a blissful, slightly sunburnt walrus. Attempting to read a book (Jane Austen, naturally), but mostly staring at the impossibly blue water and wondering if I can teleport myself here permanently. My first thought was how to order a cocktail, but no wait, maybe I should go take a snooze, I can do that later.
19:00: Supper prep. Actually, "supper prep" might be overstating it. More like, cheese, crackers, olives, and whatever Spanish wine I found first. I'm a simple woman with simple needs (and a vast appreciation for cheese).
20:00: Sunset on the terrace. The air is warm, the wine is flowing, and the view is… well, it's just ridiculous. I feel like I’ve been transported to a movie set. Tonight, I’m a movie star. Or maybe just a woman with a good bottle of wine and an amazing view.
Day 2: Exploring the Coast (and Possibly Losing my Mind)
09:00: Wake up. Coffee is essential. Stumble out onto the terrace, squint at the sun. Contemplate life, the universe, and whether I can actually be bothered to get dressed or I'll just put a sarong on and call it a day. The latter wins.
10:00: Drive to a nearby coastal town (recommendation: Deia! or maybe Valldemossa?). The driving is… an adventure, let’s put it that way. Narrow, twisting roads. Sheer drops. A GPS that seems to actively enjoy leading me astray. I may or may not have yelled at it several times, but in a super gentle, loving way of course.
- Quirky Observation: The sheep! They're EVERYWHERE! Just casually strolling along the roads, as if they own the place. Honestly, respect.
11:30: Arrive in… somewhere. Okay, it's beautiful. Cobbled streets, cute shops, the smell of the sea. I wander, get lost, and then find myself in a tiny bakery, buying ridiculously flaky pastries. Regret is not a word in my current vocabulary!
13:00: Lunch. Seafood, obviously. And maybe a cheeky glass (or two) of rosé. I may or may not have accidentally ordered the wrong dish (a mountain of fried tiny fish that I didn't know how to eat), but hey, experience is everything, right?
15:00: More pool time. This time, I'm armed with a bigger book, a wider-brimmed hat, and the strong feeling that this is the kind of life I was born to live.
18:00: Pre-dinner drinks, and a moment for self-reflection… Do I actually want to leave this villa? Is it acceptable to just… disappear?
19:30: Another attempt at cooking something. This time, I'm making pasta. It might be a disaster. It probably will be a disaster. But honestly, I don’t care. I have wine.
- Emotional Reaction: Okay, so the pasta boiled over. And the sauce splattered everywhere. I can't even… The kitchen looks like a Jackson Pollock painting. But you know what? I’m going to eat it anyway. And afterwards I’m going to pour myself another glass of wine, put on some music and maybe even dance in the kitchen in a very messy and chaotic way.
Day 3: The Caves (And the Battle with the Tourist Traps)
10:00: Head to the Caves of Drach. Ugh, okay. Crowds, tourist traps, and the faint smell of… I don’t even know what, but it's not particularly appealing.
- Opinionated Language: Tourist traps are the bane of my existence! I understand, its a part of it. But they are necessary evils!
11:00: The boat ride inside the cave. Pretty cool, but also a bit underwhelming. Okay, there's some nice lighting and the boat ride is nice, but I'm sure the view's even better with a good bottle of wine.
13:00: Lunch at a tourist-y spot near the caves. The Paella is okay (maybe a little disappointing), but the seaside view is lovely.
15:00: Head to the beach! Cala Millor.
18:00: Back at the villa, pool time! It's a ritual now.
19:30: Pizza delivery (I'm not even bothering with cooking anymore). Maybe I'll order more wine too.
Day 4: The Day of the Spa (and the Great Questionable Oil Rubbing)
10:00: Spa day! I found a lovely little spa that had such a relaxing feel, I practically melted into the massage table.
12:00: A massage! Okay, this was amazing.
15:00: Pool. Just… pool. Repeat from Day 2.
18:00: Dinner! Going to treat myself to a fancy meal at the villa.
Day 5: Soaking up the sun (and contemplating a permanent move to Majorca)
09:00: Wake up. Sun. Coffee. Same routine, but somehow the thought of leaving starts to feel less than appealing.
10:00 - 17:00: Sunbathing, swimming, reading, and generally being the most relaxed version of myself possible. My tan is coming along nicely. It's a beautiful life.
19:00: Final supper at Can Fabiol. Preparing to say goodbye. Not sure how I am going to do it.
- Goodbye!
Day 6: Farewell, My Beautiful Mess
- 08:00: One last morning swim. It's going to be hard to say goodbye.
- 09:00: Pack.
- 10:00: Check out.
- 11:00: Taxi to the airport.
- 12:00: Flight home.
- 15:00: Arrival back home.
Post-Trip Ramblings:
Okay, so maybe it wasn’t a perfectly planned itinerary. Maybe I didn’t see every single "must-see" attraction. Maybe I spent way too much time by the pool and not enough time exploring. But I had the time of my life. It was messy, joyful, and completely, gloriously me. And honestly? That's all that matters. I'll be back! Until next time, Majorca!
