Globales Playa Santa Ponsa

Most of pictures are fake in this content. Are from hotels opposite. Hotel playa is quite ok if you accept the low 3 stars. The positive is the pool 2.1m deep. Is clean but a falling apart shower cubicle and shower attachment, as well as an unscrewed toilet, do not speak well of the conservator. I belive they pay him too much. The biggest problem is the food. If you want all inclusive, skip it.... I sincerely advise you not to get. Unless you go in early May and catch the moment when the Playa is not fully operational, like I did. Then you will have mills in oposite hotel. If playa is fuli operating, the staff canteen at work is better than what they offer.....

Having just returned from the Globales Playa Santa Ponsa, I thought I'd best write something whilst it's still fresh. We stayed in room 322 for four nights. We had views across to the pools of the Santa Ponsa Park and Pienero, also a small sea view towards the beach which is literally a 5 minute walk away. Although small, the room was adequate for our needs, remember, it's just somewhere to sleep and not live in. It was cleaned daily and the beds were made. The shower was small with a curtain which gave some amusement and unfortunately there are no English TV channels available. Being issued a plastic cup for drinks was a bit random, but it works perfectly well and must be a good send for the staff. We always managed to find something to eat and although plentiful, the food is not piping hot. The pool areas are clean and well maintained, don't moan about the water being cold because it always will be, no matter what time of year you visit. Staff are polite and friendly. The snack bar gets busy during the day and has a good selection of food, again, not piping hot. Would I return again, yes I would.

Bit of a late review, but was looking at this hotel and dont agree with some of the reviews! Went for 2 years in a row and the first year was in the newer globales pionero which from speaking to people it seems if you havent gone before you get put this in hotel then if its your second time like us, you get put in the older building (Globales santa ponsa). First thing i’ll say is area is PERFECT, especially for families or young couples, near the irish ***** but not to close than can hear it, in the day time/late evening it’s perfect for a chill drink, restaurants in area are good the beach is great and many excursions nearby. Also fairly close to the airport, locals are friendly. (If you also have picky eaters, there is a mc donalds round the corner) (Just to add even if you book this hotel you can get put in the newer part as they are joined ) First time around at Pionero, the rooms are clean, new bathrooms are spotless, no noise levels. For the price and star rating (booked through tui) it really is worth it, I think some people forget your not booking a 2k pp 5* hotel but with this hotel you do get more than what you pay in my opinion for the rooms especially in this part of the hotel. Second time at the globales santa ponsa (older building) we was put next to the stairs so the noise levels were bad didnt get the best sleep, but I’m sure if you just wasnt next to the stairs u wouldnt have this issue). The shower kept changing to really hot, but apart from that the room is decent you get what you pay for. but if i went again id definitely prefer to get put in the newer part. Food is average, always simple things to eat but your not at a 5* restaurant so you get what you pay for. Some days are better than others but it’s definitely good enough. They have a snack bar which does burgers hot dogs etc which is good aswell as breakfast so you wont be starved of good things to eat. There is sunlounger wars but you get that no matter where you are now, you will be able to get a sunlounger on the terrace parts which are partly shade partly sun you just wont be on the side of the pool directly. You are also a couple minutes walk from the beach which is nice so you wont have nowhere to go.
