Globales playa Santa ponsa experience
Great area as usual, beautiful place but this hotel does not operate on a lone basis up until May apparently. Would explain why we had to go across road to sister hotel(s) Ponsa Park and Pionero.Walls are thin so could hear all noisy guests banging and screaming all night and also our stay coincided with Thomson reps training week which meant they were staying in hotel and sort of took over public spaces out back of hotel near pool (which was actually a lovely quiet area compared to the other two hotels where you could actually get a sunned). Also, restaurant was not open; bar was only open from 8-12 at night until third night of our stay, then it suddenly stopped that service as well so we had to go over to other hotel as mentioned. Shower was a nightmare as my husband who has mobility issues could not even get into it; even I had one half of body outside the shower at all times! Good points though: most staff very friendly especially the lovely Bulgarian lady we were sad to say goodbye to as she always had a smile! Oh and Maria who worked the bar at our hotel ( when it was actually open!) TV too small in room, but a plus was most English channels were picked up on it. All in all an average hotel for quick getaway, but for us, we will be returning to our usual hotel Viva Rey round the corner for our next main stay on the island of Mallorca!

Nice hotel & close to the beach
Preferred this hotel compared to its sister hotel opposite as it was so busy & liked that our hotel was so much quieter. Only thing I would say against it is that the rooms really need updated & the shower was so tiny especially for a male to use it.

Faulty Towers in the Sun
Dreadful hotel really needs a refurbishment, the shower is too small to wash in and you can hear your neighbours on the toilet. The food is the same nearly everyday and if it want to use the snack bar is over the road in the sister hotel Santa Ponsa Park. I complained to reception and was told "but it is a 3 star" 0/10 for your customer service Globales. The pool area was OK, but the pool itself was really dirty, debris in the bottom of the pool and floating in the water. I never seen anyone clean it in the entire week I was there. I'm glad it was a last minute holiday and can see why the had rooms. Would never return and wouldn't ever recommend it.

Great all inclusive hotel
Great hotel have been here many times. Hotel is spotless, staff are friendly and plenty to eat and drink (all inclusive). Pool area is spacious and ideal if you want sun or shade. As for location you could not be better placed. Stones through from the sheltered bay and beach, as is the quiet and very relaxed main resort.

My husband and me went to this hotel on half board, and were we surprised the food was fantastic the choice excellent tho drinks service could have been a bit quicker. The room size was fine tho the shower was very small any one a bit over weight would really struggle. That said room was clean and housekeeping service was spot on. Hotel was just a 2 min walk away from beach and shops and bars.We were in the quieter area but just up the road were loads of lively bars so something for everyone. Only complaint was the life guard at the pool was never there so you would have to be aware of that if you have children. So visit this hotel I highly recommend it.

Great Hotel for couples and children
Hi There, We stayed in the hotel playa santa ponsa in the first week of July 2009. Upon arrival at the airport we were going to get a bus to santa ponsa but its not very well signed and we dont speak spanish so we had to jump a taxi which cost €37. upon arrival of the hotel we found the reception lady was very friendly and helpful. Our room was a very small room and we were not too happy with the tiny balcony but we were not fussy so we did not ask to change rooms(im sure if we had of requested a different room we would have got it without argument). we were on the first floor so that might explain all the cockroaches!!! the hotel staff were amazing.we dont have any children but our first day and night we stayed on the premises and we had an overcast day and the minute the sun went in, all of the kids club reps were out in full force to keep the kids entertained.it was really brilliant for people with young families. i would definately recommend it to either couples or young families or elderly people.its also wheelchair accessable.we were half board and the food was good.different every night and well worth the extra we paid.the only problem for us was the lack of selection of beer!!

Standard not as expected
Hotel overbooked our room on the first night. Had to stay at another hotel for 1 night. Beds were uncomfortable at Playa Hotel. Our room was facing the road and above entrance to the hotel which was extremely noisy. Breakfast good, Pool good. Reception slow, only one person on at all times. Key facility old fashioned, no door slot card.

Eldre og slitt hotell
Eldre standard på hotell og rom samt dårlige senger, dusjen hadde folde dører i hvitplast som var møkkete og ikke rengjort. Når disse ble lukket ble det mørkt inne i dusjen og dusjen var 60*70 så meget liten dusj. Det ble ikke ordnet barneseng / krybbe selv etter 2 dager og flere purringer. Så servicen er ikke på topp.

Trænger til en opgradering
Maden var skidt, der var mug i den meget lille brusekabine og poolen var ligegyldig med en meget stor skyggeside. Beliggenhed i forhold til strand var rigtig god. Hyggelig by, hvis man er af sted som børnefamilie.

Hotel muy trillado.
Hotel que no hace honor al nombre de su compañía Globales. Lejos de ser un hotel global, está pensado para las personas de un solo país. Las habitaciones sufren de muchos deterioros. Cocina aburrida y monótona. Los huéspedes del país al que está dedicado el hotel incumplen de forma sistemática las normas más básicas de educación. Lo mejor fue la amabilidad de personal español del hotel.

Séjour agréable en octobre
Nous étions un groupe de 12 plongeurs en demi pension à la fin du mois d'octobre. L'accueil tardif (arrivée après minuit) n'a pas posé de problème. Les chambres correspondaient bien au descriptif. Les buffets des petits-déjeuners et des diners étaient soignés, il y avait en particulier beaucoup de crudités et de fruits frais (en plus des habituelles frites et des desserts à la gelée pour les Anglais) Il était difficile de manger tout le groupe ensemble, les tables étant remises à leur place après chaque repas. Le ménage des chambres a été fait soigneusement tous les jours. Les animations consistaient essentiellement en des bingos d'après le repas, à déconseiller aux enfants. La rapport qualité prix est bon.

SORPRESA MALLORQUINA
Nos agrado enormemente la distancia del Hotel a la playa y que aunque venia ya reflejado en la informacion consultada previamente normalmente se suele exagerar a menos de la distancia de la playa real, en este caso si que es verdad que esta cerquisima, por otra parte el hotel era tranquilo y agradable.

Posizione buona albergo vecchio
L unica nota positiva le signorine delle pulizie e i barman, albergo fatiscente, al ristorante e in cucina nn sanno cosa vuol dire la pulizia ( piatti sporchi e posate lavate malissimo. Il personale dell albergo è nella media eccetto la sig.na Victoria che nn è in grado di ricoprire il ruolo di receptionist grazie alla quale abbiamo perso un giorno mezzo della nostra vacanza.

Sommer-Nachholurlaub
- Preis-/Leistung ist ganz Okay - Sauberkeit und Service ist gut - Poolanlage wird bereits um 18:00 Uhr geschlossen, eher früh - die Doppelzimmer sind etwas klein geraten, vorallem die Dusche - die Betten sind nicht überwältigend - die Lage des Hotels ist sehr gut, nahe Zentrum und Strand - Insgesamt war der Urlaub aber ein Volltreffer!

Erste Nacht in einem Zimmer im gegenüberliegenden Hotel verbracht, da kein Zimmer frei! Danach sechs Nächte in einem kleinen aber sauberen Zimmer! Dusche dafür skandalös!!! Versiefter, stinkender, schief herunterhängender Duschvorhang! Dusche extrem klein, nur für sehr schmächtige Leute geeignet! Tropfender Wasserhahn, tropfender Brausekopf! Extrem laute Klimaanlage! Winziger Balkon! Zimmertür nicht exakt schließend, mit Kreditkarte jederzeit zu öffnen! (Selbstversuch)Sehr viele russische Familien! Sehr kinderfreundliches Hotel! Personal sehr freundlich.

Enkelt og bra
Veldig greit med tanke på hva man betaler. Små rom, enkel buffet, men rent og pent. Vi var de eneste fra skandinavia, men aktivitets lederene var flinke til å inkludere alle. En del støy hvis man har rom ut mot gaten.

Mye bedre enn sine 2 stjerner
Reiste alene for 4 døgn, og hotellet svarte til alle mine forventninger. Hotellet hadde et utrolig serviceinnstilt personale, og kjempegod mat - både frokost, lunsj og middag. Kort vei gjennom den vakre parken til en nydelig strand. Jeg var alene, så det var helt ok for meg at rommet og badet var lite. Det var skinnende rent, og så var det en meget god, bred seng. Ønsker å reise dit igjen sammen med barn og barnebarn.

Unliebsame Mitbewohner
Leider mußte ich innerhalb der ersten 24 Std. mit insgesamt 11 relativ großen Kakerlacken unliebsame Bekanntschaft machen. Das ganze Hotel hat nach Insektenvernichtungsspray gestunken, aber leider waren die Kakerlacken trotzdem recht aktiv. Jeden Abend hat man die anderen Hotelgäste mit einer Sprühflasche bewaffnet gesehen. Ich kann künftig darauf verzichten, dieses Hotel sieht mich nicht wieder. Nach jeden Morgen wenn die Angestellten das Bad "geputzt" hatten, waren auf dem Boden noch mehr Haare als vorher. Gesaugt wurde die ganze Woche nicht.Das Essen war nur auf die englischen Touristen abgestimmt,da überwiegent Engländer in dem Hotel sind. Meine Ansprüche waren nicht hoch, da man dies bei einem 2 Sterne Hotel nicht erwarten kann, aber die Wirklichkeit war dann doch schockierend.
