We really enjoyed our week here beds are best we ever slept in. House keeping work hard and it shows place is spotless . There is a vast choice of tasty food so we always found something to our liking. If you want a comfortable relaxing hotel in beautiful location this is it. Loved it also has indoor pool and spa. The water fountains on each floor and a room fridge are an excellent add on. We found the staff pleasant but a special mention must go to Ivan a young man who works tirelessly and always had as smile for everyone in the pool bar hope management let him know how much we appreciated his service a genuinely nice young man .always lots of sun loungers and loved the cabanas ! We will definitely return just what we needed after the 2 years we have all been through.
This was our first holiday since 2019 and we could not have picked a better destination. We booked Star Prestige and All Inclusive and it was our intention to do nothing other than lounge by the pool and drink cocktails. We managed this with ease! We arrived after a fraught journey made more difficult by being let down with the special assistance we had booked in advance and by the time we got there, my partner was in medical difficulty and we needed a private space where this could be sorted. Our check in was not for another 3 hours but I cannot fault the staff at all once they had understood that this medical issue needed more than a seat in reception and a glass of water as they took us to the nearest room that was available and let us have the use of it for 15 minutes or so that we needed to sort the issue. Adama and Carmen were especially supportive with this. Reception were also only too willing to assist in printing out the documentation for us needed to get back home (James and Carmen). In general, all the staff were pleasant and efficient and very very helpful. We were eventually allocated 2619 which is pretty far away from anything, in fact the last room and was a corner suite. We were more than happy with this. The room was an excellent size, absolutely spotless and the facitlities were more than adequate for us. It was well equipped and I became obsessed with the smell of the handwash which was divine! We also had a stocked minibar and there was a bottle of fizz on ice and 2 glasses waiting for us. The view from the balcony was stunning. Food - we were AI and everything was in the buffet restaurant located on 4th floor. They set up vague meal times for you at check in - breakfast between 8.30 and 9.30am for us, dinner between 1 and 1.45 (although we didn't tend to go for dinner as we were stuffed from breakfast still and quite happily settled on sunbeds) and tea between 6.30 and 7.30pm. These were the times we chose out of the offers and it is done to manage the amount of people in the restaurant at any one time in mind with safe distancing and general covid precautions. The food was excellent and there was a huge variety to choose from at all mealtimes. It was hot, well presented and the staff were forever cleaning the area, changing over the utensils and replenishing the food stocks. Even the fussiest of eaters would fnd something to eat. My only thing was that perhaps the various meats were not as well cooked as I like them. I won't eat anyting if it looks like it might be capable of still mooing, oinking, baahing or clucking and sometimes the sausages looked very questionable! There is a one way system round the area that is easy to follow and the tables have been set up socially distanced. We picked the same table for every meal inside and it is amazing how quickly the staff get used to you and what you drink etc. The absolute star character in the restaurant is Fernando. On his day off we really missed him. He has a great personality and chatters with all the guests. As he has been there 31 years I think he likes his job! Drinks - well we decided to work our way through the cocktail menu and over the course of the week sampled all of them and some of them more than once. The bar staff were very efficient and in particular Toni, Pedro and Kiko. Toni remembered our drinks preferences and was always happy to bring them out to the pool. Pedro remembered our names from the very first time we met him and Kiko was just so friendly and chatty. Covid - this hotel cannot be faulted for their covid measures in place. Everything is spotless and the staff were forever cleaning things down, regularly replacing things and all staff wore masks at all times. All guests had to wear masks in all public areas except when laid on a sunbed, eating or drinking , in the pool and of course on your own balcony or room. There were handwashing and hygiene stations everywhere and instructions regarding using them, even before/after pressing the lift button. The Housekeeping staff deserve the highest praise for this and also for cleaning of our room every day, sometimes twice. Location - set a little up the hill outside Santa Ponsa, it is quiet and has breathtaking views over the bay. All rooms have sea views. You can walk into SP itself in about 15/20 mins but we didn't bother. This is the first hotel ever where I have spent the entire duration of a holiday without leaving it once such was the quality. Negative points - there was a lack of information available. Normally there are details in rooms giving instructions about pool towels, maps of the place etc but there was none of this and in fact it was very difficult to find out anything. To see a drinks/snacks/bar menu everything was barcoded that you had to scan. That is great if you have a smartphone but not so great if you don't. I get why it has been removed from rooms but there is nothing to stop something laminated being attached to a wall in the room. Our last night was thoroughly spoilt and this was not really the fault of the staff in any way but they did not have the resources to deal with it. At 00.40am on our final night as we were due to be getting up at 6am to leave to go home, our entire row was woken up by a new arrival middle aged man who had overdone it on the all inclusive alcohol and decided to be singing and shouting at the top of his voice. Unfortunately, he had moved into the room next door to us. I was one of many guests who went out to ask him to be quiet. As he was in the next room to us, unfortunately me and my partner were then subjected to a filthy torrent of racist, sexist and homophobic abuse that carried on for approx 20 minutes until he eventually staggered into his room to throw up (which I did think he was going to do over the side of the fire escape stairs). My partner did call reception and they could actually hear this man (he told us his name was Richard from Holland) and said he would sort it. He never arrived to sort it. We found out that it was because he was on his own and we were too far away. Sherriff did ring us back later to see if we were ok. I was fine but my partner was very upset and intimidated by him and the pure vileness of the things he repeatedly said to us. Seeing Sheriff the next morning at reception, he did explain there was little he could do except if the man had continued he would phone the police. It wasn't the issue about the noise so much, it was the fact that this man could verbally abuse in a racist, sexist and homophobic manner with no consequences. This is not what we expected in this establishment as it was generally excellent but that one incident did leave a sour taste. Staff cannot legislate for a man who becomes aggressive and abusive to 2 female guests when he is drunk but they could maybe review how they would deal with such incidents as this if they occur in the future to anyone as unfortunate as us. 100% we will be returning as this is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed in in Europe. ps: i would have uploaded more photos but for some reason, even though they were the right way up on my screen, when uploaded to TA they were upside down!…
It was our first stay in this hotel. The location isn't too far from the airport - up to an hour. The view from the hotel is truly amazing. The area is beautiful and quiet. Pros: - The standard suites offer a lounge area with a jacuzzi/bathtub inside with a view of the ocean, and a separated bedroom - The beds are comfortable - The buffet/restaurant offers a tasty selection of paella, grill, pizza, vegetables, salad, dessert, juices, beers, and sangria - Entertaining workshops and evening shows - Toiletries are in large bottles, so we would never run out - Romantic and calm gateway for adults without big families or children Cons: - Some of the sunbeds had bird poop on them because of gulls flying around - Reception can take some time to answer or follow a request when they're busy, so would advise having some patience - The bar doesn't provide straws, so would advise bringing your own, so that you can stir your alcoholic drink or sip comfortably without ice coming in contact with your teeth if you're sensitive - We could see and hear our next-door neighbours on the terrace, so didn't use it as much. Feels like you're in someone's space The major downside for us though: On one occasion, the housekeeping walked into our bedroom, which was unpleasant for us as we had made ourselves comfortable. We didn't hear a knock or announcement, so it was confusing to us as to why housekeeping had let themselves in without checking if we were in. On another occasion, we decided to make use of the jacuzzi in the suite that is almost situated across the room's entrance door. Two steps in and one would see the jacuzzi. So, after the first occasion, we purposely hung the door hanger to address that we didn't want to be disturbed AND locked the door. However, someone let themselves in and stood in the frame by the door. Mind, we didn't ask for room service or anything. We immediately asked the person to shut the door as I wasn't dressed. We reported it to the reception. We were hoping to receive clarification from the reception but were left in the unknown as we didn't receive a follow-up. During our checkout, we mentioned the incidents. However, the personnel wasn't responsive. It seemed like an effort to right the wrong wasn't made. More attentiveness and portrayal of care would have been nice. Personally, especially for me as a woman, such an incident is unacceptable. It created a feeling of constantly being walked in on. Although the location and food were beautiful, we probably wouldn't stay here again due to concerns around security and privacy.…
Our fourth holiday here, and we will be back again. One of the main reasons being the staff, they are friendly and professional and ensure our stay is everything we expect and more. Restaurant tip top food delicious and catering for all tastes. We were in Star prestige so room was spacious, clean , with amazing view. And what’s more clean fluffy white towels twice daily. Can’t praise it enough , thoroughly recommend you give it a try . Thanks javier guest service
Just returned from a 10 night stay with my partner (we are aged 28/29) and we couldn’t have imagined staying at a nicer or better hotel! As soon as you walk in to the lobby you get a glimpse of the beautiful sea views, the whole place is incredibly clean and it also smells really nice! All of the staff here are absolutely lovely and cannot do enough for you which really does make a positive impact when on holiday. We were blown away by the facilities here too, on our first day we noticed they had paddle boards so we asked how much it would be to rent a paddle board and we couldn’t believe it when they told us it is free to go out on one! They also run a kayak tour and different activities all throughout the day such as; Pilates, paddle yoga, normal yoga, aqua fit, cocktail making, the list goes on.. We went half board so we got breakfast and evening meal and the food was delicious. There was a great variety to choose from, everything was great quality and kept piping hot. The food was regularly checked on by staff to ensure quality and was completely fresh especially when some of the items are cooked to order. We have stayed all inclusive/ half board before and this hotel has the best all inclusive food we’ve ever had. They have ice cold water fountains all over the hotel so you can fill your water bottles too. I’d also like to mention about the cocktails here.. wow! They are soooo good! I’d definitely recommend getting yourself a frozen daiquiri. If you are all inclusive the cocktails are free, but hardly expensive if not. The location is excellent, everything you would want is at the hotel regardless especially with it being right by the sea with several different access points to the sea for swimming and all the activities they offer, however you can take a 1KM walk to Santa Ponsa main beach or just take a short walk from the hotel and find lots of bars, restaurants and shops. We absolutely loved it here and will definitely return!!…
This is a lovely hotel in a great location. The Superior Suite we had was fantastic. very spacious and the terrace with the hot tub, balinese bed and sunbeds and all the staff were excellent. Food choice great. Would definitely come here again.
As we entered the reception we were both taken aback by the view of the bay. We had a reasonably good flight and the taxi to hotel was perfect. We were both welcomed and asked if we had breakfast and were told we could go for breakfast and then check in. The restaurant overlooking the bay was perfect. The service throughout the three day stay was excellent. The room was clean and the bed was a dream to sleep on. Only criticism was the lifts slightly unpredictable.
Just had a wonderful week in this Hotel absolutely perfect the staff are wonderful and cannot do enough for you Special mentions to Fernando, Mandi, and Ricardo and also the gentleman Felipe in reception Looking forward to coming again
Just want to say muchas gracias to you all the staff especially Javier, Ricardo, Mandi, fernando, Ivan, rav the bar staff and waiter waitresses who made our stay all the better. They and others couldn’t do enough for you, always smiling and having a laugh with you which makes the difference. The hotel was spotless and clean, everyday the room cleaned, clean towels. Adults only is the way forward, so relaxing and peaceful. Great scenery as we had sea view so waking up to it each morning was just awesome. Great location only a 10 min walk into town. The food was the best I have had on a half board. Everyday a variety, fresh and different theme. I cannot fault this hotel, had an amazing time and will def be back! You will not be disappointed. Until next time have a great summer to all the staff. Adiós, nos vemos pronto. Tash…
