Reviews Summary
This summary was created by AI, based on recent reviews.
Powered by AI
Globales Playa Santa Ponsa, praised for its prime beachside location ideal for sun-seekers and adventurers alike, has received mixed feedback. While its diligent daily cleaning and attentive staff contribute to consistently clean premises, some travelers find the rooms to be dated and on the smaller side. The struggle to secure sunbeds has been a point of contention among guests, despite appreciation for the hotel's amenities. Service quality has garnered both commendations and critiques, and although the atmosphere is considered outdated by many, opinions on the hotel's value vary.

Spotless hotel. Food the best we have ever tasted in an all inclusive hotel. Pools disappointing as we're some of the staff. Great location but not enough sunloungers around the pool. Pizzeria was fab for snacks and kids had best nuggets ever!!!

The holiday was OK, was there from the 30th Sept 23 for 10 days. The weather was lovely, the food could have been better same stuff everyday, u also had to fight for loungers and try and get down to reserve one and even tho cleaners cleaned there was never any wet floor signs and the pool area was so dangerous tiles really slippery. Two days before we were due to come home I had an accident due to someone moving lounger, my foot got caught on the edge of it while I walk pass and even tho no signs the lifeguard came saying not to move them but people did. And I fracture my shoulder and wrist and got to have a operation now to replace shoulder. And I might not be able to go back to work neither. Sad mind was enjoying it a little but won't go back there.

Good hotel, big variety of food. Engaged team, quiet rooms and quiet area. 5 minutes of walking to the buses to Palma and surrounding. 5 minutes from the beach. Big applause to Carlos at the reception, Manuel, David, Chris at try he dining room. Very well organised in times of hundreds (!!) of guests. Only negative point is the paying for the safe. 32 Euro per week…. 😬🤨 But definitely a very positive experience!

Cleaning staff were excellent and very friendly. Most of the reception staff were miserably and very rude. Most, including managers, didn't wear badges and didn't identify themselves. An example in the dining hall e.g. We approached a 6 table area. 4 of the seats were taken, so we joined the other 2 free seats. The other 4 diners had finished their meals and left. The places were cleaned and cutlery replaced. We were the only 2 diners sitting at this 6 place table, after the other diners had finished. One of the staff (Pedro) approached us and asked why we were sitting at a 6 place table. We tried to explain that the other diners had finished. He wanted us to leave our places and move our food and cutlery to a 2 seater table. We refused. He had assumed that we'd taken a 6 seater table. He spoke, mostly, in Spanish. Thankfully, we speak Spanish, but spoke to him ONLY in English. He swore quite a few times. Very hostile. Some of the food was very nice and there was some pleasant choices, especially the breads and desserts. Much of the meat was cold, after it had been cooked. The red meats were very tough. The chefs refused to cook fresh eggs, even though the older eggs were cold. There was plenty of selection of drinks and coffees. The expresso coffees were fresh and delicious.

Fantastic holiday all round! I don’t know what all the bad reviews are for because it’s in the perfect location, there’s loads of options on the buffet and the pool is quiet and relaxing. Plus it’s right near the beach. You’re booking a 3* hotel not The Ritz. The rooms are slightly dated but who spends all the holiday in their room, you sleep there, it does the job. Plus people moaning about the walk to the other sister hotel for the breakfast lunch and dinner, how lazy are you, it takes less than 30 seconds to walk there. The buffet is packed full of all different types of decent food, and it changes daily. Also, if you arrive late and miss dinner, like we did, you can get food at the “pizzeria” which is open until midnight. It’s got food from the dinner that they didn’t get to put out on the buffet so you don’t starve and there’s a bar there too. Also, you may have to carry a cup around to get drinks on the all inclusive but we forgot ours and the bar lady gave us new ones. The only time you need to carry your cup to get drinks is if you are around the pool area. If you have all inclusive you can get free cocktails, wine, beer, soft drinks and more. All the staff are super helpful and nice. The location itself is perfect! A 2 minute walk to the beach is ideal, I was there everyday. Right downstairs is a little bar run by a really nice guy called Carlos. There’s multiple shops and restaurants all around. Can’t fault the place. Overall, me and my girlfriend loved the holiday. It was extremely great value for money and if you’re not a moody old human you’ll have a great holiday too.1 It’s perfect for what it is.

Much nicer room than the Playa across the road. Large TV, fridge, walk in shower. Well worth the 5 euros per person per day. The safe is not free unless you have booked with Tui. 2 large lifts. The plates in the restaraunt were only sometimes hot, mostly cold. The OK ish, food always needed to go into the microwave. Nice puddings. No Cava at breakfast. Perfect location, fantastic beach. Staff, bar, cleaners, reception all helpful and friendly, I can't understand bad reports about the staff.

we booked with Easyjet holidays, we really wanted to book either the Globales Pionero or the Globales Park across the road, but they were not available with Easyjet. Once we saw our room we realised the comments on trip adviser were true, it was tiny and out of date, The shower was the worst I've ever seen! No shower gell or rack to put your own. The safe is not free unless you have booked with Tui. Really tiny lift, only big enough for 2 people and 2 suitcases. We went back to reception to upgrade to the Globales Park across the road, A couple of good points about the Playa 3 star compared to the 4 star Globales Park was a much more relaxed pool, with plenty of sunbeds and shade. Plate warmers in the restaurant, but no show cooking. No Cava at breakfast.

We arrived and went to check in at the Hotel Santa Ponsa one of the hotel's 2 other sister hotels across the road which we visited in July this year and loved it it was so quiet to find that they had supposedly upgraded us to the Santa Ponsa Park, our thoughts we oh no. We were well aware that this was a very noisy hotel as we witnessed in July it is geared up for families with very noisy children which were left to run riot around the pool areas and inside, screaming and shouting playing ball in the pool which when I walked past on more than one occasion was hit by a ball. We were given a room on the 5th floor which over looked a terrace area full of solar panels and was told this was an upgrade we asked to move rooms but were told they were full so just accepted it was a bed for the night and was able to use the facilities in our chosen hotel across the road until it closed last Tuesday. There was no way we were staying through the day with kids running riot all over the place so headed down to the beach. The hotel is spotlessly clean throughout and to be honest the food was quite good, however around the pool with them jumping in and out was very wet on the tiles and extremely dangerous. We witnessed a lady who slipped and broke her wrist on the 2nd day of their holiday. Can't comment about the entertainment never stayed in was glad to escape. It is true about the sun lounger scroungers we were always down for breakfast first to escape the crowds and it is unbelievable how they queue for the best loungers, so sad. This hotel is definately for families and not for the older guests we shall never return which is such a shame as it is a beautiful hotel building wise.

1 positive = 1 star Cleaning staff work hard...Everyday we had service in our room. Reception staff miserable. Food hall staff not very friendly. We are herded in like cattle. Most chefs are miserable, head chef ( Spanish guy constantly shouting at staff) Food was either luke warm or cold, chips cold. Meat cooked to the point you cant cut or chew it. Desserts were repetitive every day. Tui staff were there, but not very friendly. We are on our 10th day out of 14..still havent managed to get a sunbed.

Had a good stay here. Staff were very nice and helpful any time we had dealings with them. My only issue was with the size of the shower. A small child would have problems showering in that, never mind a fully grown adult. Could do with some more chairs and tables on the outside area at the pool. Restaurants and pizzeria is across the road in Pionero Santa Ponsa Park. Food was ok. Pretty much as you expect from an all inclusive.
