Not sure Sarah - it's not appearing on the Sol Melia website either http://www.solmelia.com

My daughter and her boyfriend went there year before last....it was jam packed full of parties of teenagers....yes I know they were teenagers themselves but they are well behaved......my daughter rang home 3 days into her holiday to ask me if I could book her in somewhere else as they had no sleep for the 3 nights...not one wink as they said hoards of teens were running through corridors screaming and laughing....people were in the pool all night partying, others were throwing furniature off the balconies......she said it was absolute bedlam.....security could do nothing....no one called the police...or at least they never arrived....my daughter and her boyfreind used to go to the beach every day as there was no way you could stay around the pool....people were contantly being thrown into the pool sunbeds and all.....for peace and quiet I told them to go over to the sol Magaluf park which they did and spent many an afternoon in the quiet room sleeping as they knew they'd never be able to sleep at the Jamaica.....when they got home from holiday they both went straight to bed (3pm) and neither got up until 11 am the following day........
On return they posted a blog about their experience on My Space and then spoke to several other people who had stayed then on other weeks and said it was much the same
I suspect this is the reason for the closure....it must need a refurb after all the goings on there

I'm so sad to hear this. I went there with my parents and daughters in 1999. It was the last enjoyable holiday I had with my dad (he developed a brain tumour shortly after). It was such a nice hotel with a hard working entertainment team and a superb location practically on the beach. How did the Sol chain let it get that low??

Was in Magaluf last year and was told Sol Jamaica was closed due to structural problems.

i heard last year that sol had mothballed it so it could fill its other hotels in magaluf

Some of the posts on here made me howl with laughter.

Read all about it, "Magalluf Hotel closed because of partying teenagers"

There is a regular poster on here who works for Sol Melia, and he's a lot more clued up than me, but this Hotel is suffering from "Concrete Cancer", which was supposedly discovered when Sol Melia had it surveyed 2 years ago for Insurance or Sales purposes, or whatever.

It seems they can't decide whether to refurb the Hotel or to demolish it and build from new, and I suggest the current Financial Climate has delayed their decision further, because little or nothing seems to have happened over the winter.

It was a popular Hotel, right in the centre of Magalluf, and I'm sure there were occasions when it had partying teenagers, but mostly it was just a popular Hotel, and until I read this thread I'd never heard a bad word spoken about it.

I suspect that they will demolish it, since there is a large area in front of the Hotel which has previously been used as a Car Park, and if they build on that area, it will make a bigger Hotel, with a much larger frontage.

Yes as goodfellow states it is a sick hotel filled with Asbestos adn the concrete plinths that they have are crumbling

its defo not being closed down due to drunken teenagers creating havoc in a hotel

that was funny though

Thanks to everyone who replied to my question, its sad news about the hotel.
