Golf Beach

Great hotel, very clean and the staff are very friendly. Rather than going to the beach we spent most afternoons by the pool. Bar prices were good and the snacks excellent. We were out most nights so did not need a TV although I would say air con would have been a MASSIVE help. The rooms were very hot (day and night) and even with the fan on it did not help. The location is superb for the beach, restaurants and bars. I would not want to be any closer to the centre as would be too noisy! I travelled there with friends and would highly recommend it for that type of holiday. Due to the lack of air con I'm not sure I would go there with my 18 month old baby and wife. You have to leave the door open to get any cool air and that means you hear the noisy road and people passing at all times of night. Overall - ran by great people, great location, great bar and snacks, only real let down is the aircon.

We've just came back and although the hotel is in a good location and as per other peoples comments the rooms are basic but cleaned daily, we were unfortunate enough to have a) a room above the bar area at the front and near the lift which at midnight and the early hours wasn't much fun and b) had the pleasure of some very selfish German guests in adjoining rooms who at 4am and 7 am thought it was great to have loud drunken conversations out in the corridors which no one from the hotel management curtailed. Maybe our experience is just a one off, the hotel is in a good location and Im sure under different circumstances it would have been a good base camp.

I picked this hotel soley on the reviews I read on alpharooms, and they are spot on ! I love value for money but I could never be a back packer... This hotel was great value for money, its location is perfect ! The whole hotel is kept very clean ! Peter is a very friendly helpful guy.. The only thing that might bother other guests is that there is no air con or tv in the rooms (there is a fan though) but I personally only ever use a room to sleep and wash in so why would I want a tv ? Over all we were very happy with are stay and will definately be back !

I booked this hotel for a half term break with my 2 daughters aged 15 and 12 after reading the reviews here. It is excellent value, very clean and well serviced. Tony and Peter were helpful but not intrusive. If you're looking for organised activities, and reps persuading you to go on trips, then the Golf Beach is not for you. Alternatively, if you want a simple, clean, hotel in a great location (the "posher" end of Santa Ponsa, in my opinion) then you cannot beat the Golf Beach. On the down side, breakfast is served 7.30 am to 9.30 am and is very basic and I didn't think it worth rushing down for. However, with what you saved on accommodation you can afford to treat yourself to a nice leisurely breakfast at one of the many eating establishments. We had a lovely time and would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone on the above basis. PS Hi to Jennifer (Peter's friend)

We have just returned from a 5 night stay at golf beach, and was really surprised at how nice this hotel was and how friendly the staff are, the rooms where cleaned every day and the rooms were lovely. The hotel is situated a short walk from the beach and all the bars and resturants , the only downfall was the breakfast but what do you expect for the price i would definitely recommened this hotel and will use again!!

We were pleasantly suprised. Having booked this 2 star hotel on a budget for a quiet getaway with two other young wives and mothers, I was not expecting the Golf Beach to be as grand as it was. A lovely mini hotel ideal for friends, families and couples alike.

Having booked a 2 star hotel on a budget our expectations were not that high - what a wonderful surprise we received when we arrived at the Golf Beach. We did wonder if the taxi driver had got the right hotel. The hotel offered excellent service from check in to check out, friendly staff were on hand 24 hours a day, the rooms were spotlessly cleaned every day - a credit to the maids! and the pool area, although small supplied enough sun beds for all day sun, we never struggled to get a bed regardless of the time of day we arrived at the pool. Who ever rates the hotels needs to go back and visit again, I have stayed at higher rated hotels and had a much worse experiences!!! can't wait to return

Just spent 12 days at Golf Beach. Very clean and staff very friendly. One complaint is that rooms get very warm at night and a noisy ceiling fan does not do the job. Breakfast very basic and not too much choice. Would not recommend visiting Santa Ponsa in July if you not used to a lot of teenagers getting blind drunk every night who are then very noisy on their return to wherever they are staying. Recommend Duke of York and Amigo Mexican Restaurant for excellent food.

The Golf Beach is 2 star, but deserves three. It is modern, well equipped and spotlessly clean. It is very well located for the beach and the main commercial areas, all of which are within 5 minutes walk. The bus stops to Palma and Paguera are also close by.There is a 24 hr bar, serving excellent draught San Miguel! The staff are very friendly and helpful.

Minus points, although they did not detract from our stay as we were able to make alternative arrangements, are that the breakfasts are very basic Continental with no extras, and the commission on travellers cheques is an excessive 5%. It is possible to get this down to 2% within a two minute walk.

All in all, very enjoyable and certainly good value for money.

We stayed at the Golf Beach Hotel, Santa Ponsa for one week in April 2006.  This is a spotlessly clean, modern hotel which offers excellent value for money in the 2 star category.  Staff were friendly and helpful, the swimming pool excellent and the hotel location was quiet at nightime but close enough to reach the beach, shops, pubs and restaurants easily. All rooms have private bathroom and terrace. The breakfast provided is basic, continental but is adequate for a budget hotel. There are bar snacks available but no separate restaurant at the hotel.  We found fantastic value and good food at the Rhein Restaurant in the same road as the Golf Beach but further into town opposite the Bahia de Sol Hotel. The Golf Beach's location is handy for the local buses. All in all, this is a lovely resort and the Golf Beach Hotel is an excellent choice for any independent traveller who wants a good deal.
