Went on holiday in August this year and would never go back to these apartments. We had arrived at 13.00 and were told our room wasn't ready and had to wait over an hour with two children. There was mould on the taps, the bathroom ceiling was falling through, the balcony... more

More Traveller Reviews of Deya Apartments

Dangerous, unfit accommodation
It's a large, approx 30-year old apartment block dominating downtown Sta Ponca, approached via squalid passages, overlooking bars and clubs which stay open until 0600 hrs. The staff are charming and the cleaners work hard. With a bit of work the pool could be very pleasant. Despite the odd coat of paint, the Deya is very, very dated and battered. It needs a huge makeover. But the real problem is health and safety. We identified the following: (1) a balcony railing rusted to the point of potential structural failure; (2) broken power points; (3) dubious metal wall light fittings coming loose, not apparently earthed; (4) power point in bathroom accessible to children and apparently unprotected; (5) no toughened glass in the patio doors; (6) no sign of flame or smoke detectors; (7) fire extinguishers missing from niches; (8) pool surround uneven with broken access covers; (9) unfenced 3m drop to pavement near pool. (10) An unsupervised entrance close to bars and clubs outside which people gathered to drink and smoke: it was supposed to be shut at night but never was.
Noisy hotel, great resort, wouldn't stay here again
Very central apartments, but very noisy, I mean unless you are drunk you will not be able to sleep. Hotel has not control over guests, people run the corridors all night and play music all day. The only goon thing is the air conditioning. The maids are very rude, the apartments were clean but we found the staff to be dreadful. I would not recommend these apartments or visit them again. However Santa Ponsa is a class resort, very clean, cheap, great restaurants, there is a lot more to the resort that just the irish centre. We loved Santa Ponsa just though the Deya were a bit rough. There is no way you could bring children here ... too rough.
Enjoyes Santa Ponsa but the hotel was terrible
We spent 2 nights in Santa Ponsa and we loved Santa ponsa but did not enjoy the actual Hotel because they have zero control over the drunk people. Will not go back to the same hotel.
OK hotel near the beach
Stayed with my husband for a week at Deya in Santa Ponca, Majorca. We had booked with a travel agency and were aware of that it was only a two star hotel. Compared to other low rated hotels that we have styed in, this is not bad at all. Very spacey, separate bed room and living room. A very big bathroom and a small kitchen bar with necessities for a simple meal. The air condition was working so well that we had to turn it off at night because we woke up freezing. We had a great balcony just above the main street were we sipped on a cup of coffee in the morning or a couple of drinks in the afternoon while we had a great view over the busy street, the hotels pool and could also see a bit of the beach. The hotel is only a minute from the beach. The night life can be disturbing if you are not use to city sounds but we had no problems sleeping after long days full of activity. The furniture and painting is old and a bit dull, but everything seemed clean and it’s an OK plays to put down your head without spending too much money. I recommend this for people that don’t intend to spend too much time at the hotel.
not a good holiday
the hotel was not very clean due to the beds wwere dirty underneath the sheets, they did change the room for us as we had young children, but no restraunt , dissapointing as advertised there was one. close to all shops and bars , and beach.we as a family enjoyed or holiday here but at more expence as no restraunt. we had to eat out every day and night , there was no entertainment as advertised and no kid,s club as advertised.would not advise for people with a family to stay as right beside nightclub and bars very noisy. A family from essex.
OK but very BASIC
Well where do I begin?! These apartments are very basic and pretty dated. A major refit is required!! The entrance to the apartment itself is rather dark and dingy; the bedrooms more like prison cells with small windows and old beds which were actually comfortable! The bathroom had been modernised with a new suite, tiles and ceiling so no complaints there. Had to run the water for 10 minutes to clear the pipes of brown muck first from both the hot and cold taps, I assume no one had stayed there for a while. Kitchen is ok, functional but the two ring cooker took a while to heat up; fridge was clean; and there are 4 of everything (cups, spoons etc). The lounge room is large, lovely view over Santa Ponca itself. The furniture is dated and past its sell by, the newest addition was an Ikea lamp in the corner. The floor hadn’t been swept; had to sweep it ourselves and mop on the first day as there was loads of sand and hair on it. Once mopped it looked ok – you would think if they were hiring these out, they would clean them. We had a bed change every other day and clean towels. Maintenance is an issue! Light bulbs not replaced when blown; light fittings hanging off and one on lounge wall not even screwed to the wall and the bare, live wires could easily be touched by someone. Air conditioning needs servicing as all it blows out is warm air and it stinks; the radiators worked in the bedroom and bathroom but not in the lounge which was cold in the morning. Outside furniture was ok except that the table was rusty and dirty. The pool, gym and lounge is lovely; the bar wasn’t open in the evenings although there was something going on each evening but think this was for “outsiders” only. A church service is held on a Sunday evening at 6pm! The main street is nice, loads of bars, although many closed in February. I wouldn’t want to stay here in the height of summer! I suspect the apartments are mostly used then for Club 18-30. If the owners actually invested some money into them, these apartments could be very nice.
deya apts not that bad
spent a week in the deya apts in santa ponsa and they were not as bad as we expected. six 40ish guys sharing two rooms we went expecting a dump but we were pleasantly suprised the rooms were basic but clean and towels and bed linen was changed almost daily the staff were very nice and very helpful. santa ponsa itself was o.k but we thought we had got of the bus in dublin every bar / club around the deya is very irish themed but that was not a problem. we spent most nights in strings or down at the square went to greenhills and disco inferno a few times but felt way to old. all in all a very good week met some nice people along the way the mad irish and the (wee )lassies fae clydebank
to noisy
Nice pool, that is only positiv thing i have to say about this hotel. The rooms are big, but very ugly. This hotel is perfect if you are going for a party trip with your friends, otherwise stay away from Deya. Santa ponsa is a very nice town, but Deya -- big time.
Noisy Deya
Just spent a week at the Deya , it is in desperate need of upgrading, lights hanging off walls etc, if you want a shower in the evening between six & eightish you have to hope you get some hot water out of the tap and i mean water any water would do.The swimming pool is good but again in need of upgrading. The Deya is right in the middle of the night life, it is very noisy so dont expect any sleep if you stay here, disco inferno was right below us, {never did get to the lesbian night, wife not to keen} lots of irish bars which go on all night, this is the dump part of santa ponsa, the rest is very nice, great beech, the square with its entertainment is great. The deya is not really a place for kids find another place. Would i go to Santa Ponsa again yes but never the Deya, though the staff were yery good.
If you want a quiet holiday don't stay here
I was very excited about going to Majorica and I was looking forward to a quiet holiday. What the brochures don't tell you about Apartamentos Deya is it's next to "Disco Inferno" a nightclub that plays very loud music till 6am. Near and oppsite the hotel are loads of pubs that also finish late. The hotel itself was lovely and the staff were very understanding about the noise problem although they could do nothing. The kitchen is good in the apartment and the pool is fantastic. If you want to party all night and sleep all day this is the hotel for you. I on the other hand wanted to go to sleep before 6am!
