Both of the Paradisus hotels are desirable addresses, but frankly, if forced to choose, we'd opt for the Paradisus Palma Real.
Fodor's "This luxury all-inclusive is a visual showstopper especially its central plaza by night, which sparkles under dramatic lighting." Full review

You won't need to upgrade, but if you choose the adults-only Royal Service, you'll get to experience the smashing new contemporary Royal Club lounge and restaurant.
