Hello. My family of 5 (we have three kids in their early 20's) will be travelling to Mallorca in July. We plan to stay 9 nights-we want to stay in Palma, Soller and looking for one more location to stay for a few days. I wanted to ask for hotel recommendations in Soller-close to town but also access to pools/beach and also a recommendation for third stop. Thank you!

Is there a reason you'd stay three different places in Mallorca in nine days? It seems a lot like hard work to me moving around so much. It's not that big an island. Would you consider picking one nice place and maybe renting a car?
I've only been to Mallorca in my youth with family, but we have a forum contributor who has been there a lot, and quite recently. Hopefully he may see this in the morning and offer some advice.

I suspect that I'm the forum contributor that Gerry referred to and I also agree with his question regarding three separate locations in nine days. There's no need to stay in different locations as everywhere on the island can be reached within an hours drive. Changing location three times simply means wasting precious vacation time. You're only there for nine nights so maximise your time. I've been visiting Mallorca for over 20 years, often twice a year so I can assure you that you'll regret having to spend time packing, checking out, checking into new accommodation, unpacking etc when you could be doing something far more interesting.
I don't have any recommendations for hotels as I stay at a timeshare that we own however I would recommend that you opt to stay in Port de Pollença and rent a car. Driving is a breeze in Mallorca and having a car will open up the entire island for you.
