Playa Garden Selection Hotel & Spa
Things to know
before you go
Playa Garden Selection Hotel & Spa qualifies because all-inclusive rates are available, but it should be treated as optional rather than default.
It is strongest for families who want beachfront Playa de Muro access, apartment-style rooms, kids facilities, and a softer Mediterranean beach entry.
Hidden tips
Compare half-board and all-inclusive pricing; the all-inclusive plan includes meaningful convenience but not every venue or terrace/beach cost.
Book a sea-view suite or Selected category if the view and room experience matter.
Things guests wish they had known
All-inclusive is available, but this is an optional board-basis hotel rather than an all-inclusive-only resort.
The beach location is the star; compare all-inclusive pricing against half-board because Playa de Muro has outside dining options.
Strengths from our research
Excellent beach location
Good family fit
Apartment-style room inventory
Optional all-inclusive board

From Reddit
No strong resort-specific Reddit consensus was found; broader Mallorca all-inclusive discussions emphasize checking board inclusions carefully because many Spanish beach hotels sell multiple meal-plan types.
What’s included
The all-inclusive plan is an optional add-on at Playa Garden Selection Hotel & Spa. These inclusions apply when you book that plan.
Included
- Wi-FiIncluded
Expedia and official room pages list free Wi-Fi.

Included with limits

All-inclusive guests receive buffet meals and snacks/light meals; official gastronomy page says Giardino Fusion is discounted rather than fully included.
