“Everything you need & really quiet”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 September 2011 via mobile

people found this review helpful

These apartments had it all for us. They are basic, but don't lack in anything. The apartments are spacious, clean & look almost new. The furnishings all match & the beds are the comfiest I've slept in abroad for ages.
You have all the things you need in the kitchen (except a proper cooker & a toaster) but other than that, perfect.
The pool area is very clean & there were plenty of loungers available at this time of year.
Staff are very helpful & friendly (except the older dude on reception, he is a bit abrupt, but still helpful)
The apartments are on the outskirts of the main resort, but literally only a 5 min walk to pubs, restaurants etc.
There's plenty of places to eat & drink from really basic food to some outstanding cuisine.
Santa Ponsa itself is the quieter neighbour of Magaluf, but only €8 for a taxi if you want to venture out to the strip in Magaluf.
Overall a great trip & would definitely go back AND would stay at Surfing Play

“Lovely place”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 September 2011

We stayed here in August 2011. I was with my husband and 2 children. (aged 11 and 14). The appartments were basic, but were clean and the pool was lovely. There is a small quiet beach just a few hundred yards up the road and the main beach is a little further. Even though it was during the school summer holidays, the appartments didnt appear to be full at all. Would recommend if you want a quiet break away.

“VERY BASIC.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 August 2011

This hotel really is just somewhere to lay your head at night and nothing more. There is no entertainment, there are no activities and there is no atmosphere whatsoever around the small pool. Luckily Santa Ponsa has a lot going on and there are loads of place to go and the beach is great, BUT another downer is that this hotel is not right in the resort (I think it´s the last hotel on the road out of town), so you have to walk every day and night to the main resort centre where everything is happening. In the heat of August this was a pain and by the third day peed us off. We would pay a bit more next time and stay in a proper hotel in a good area.

“Loved every minute of it!!!!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 August 2011

Just got back and loved it. Apartments clean, staff friendly, nice clean pool and the hotel was full but could always get a sun bed. The beach is only about 7mins stroll from the hotel. There is another smaller beach if you turn right out of hotel only 2 mins away. Surfing playa is the quieter side to santa ponsa but don't worry there are still lots of bars and restaurants, Try bobys for an English breakfast on the left heading towards the beach, also bar rumba good English pub but for an evening meal you MUST try NO. 8 the food is amazing, you might have to book though it is always full. Also try fat sams near the beach good food. I would never get hotel transfers for Santa ponsa it takes to long, can be well over an hour, just walk outside the airport and jump into one of the many taxis 15 mins and your there 45 euros,simple. Hope this will be helpful.......enjoy.

Room Tip: All have aircon and kitchen
