Great place
We were a little worried before going as I had read a few reviews which weren't great. We stayed in the apartments across the street from the main building with the reception, bar and swimming pool. It was a fantastic location. The beach was a very short walk (not even 2 minutes) and our balcony had a sea view. The beach was great - loads of room, nice and sandy. The apartments were grand. A good size with a nicely sized balcony with a table and chairs. Admittedly the self catering facilities were not amazing. Two gas hobs,a kettle (not electric) and very few pots and pans, but we made do fine with what we had. It was inexpensive to eat out also. We had no problems with the swimming pool, which had a small, separate, shallow section - perfect for young children. Overall, we had no problems with Arcos Playa, and we really enjoyed the resort of S'illot, and the neighbouring Sa Coma. I wouldn't recommend it for anyone looking for a 'mad' holiday, but if you want somewhere to relax, with a nice beach I would recommend S'illot. The day drip to Inca market, Formentor and Porta Pollensa is a must.
loved my stay there
a thought this hotel was very good for the kids and the thigs around the hotel was very good as well we had a clean room and the pool was clean as well and the food was very good as well and the shops where cheep as well than u and hope if you go u have a good time as me and my family had last week
budget family holiday
We booked this holiday at the last minute and I wish I'd spent longer looking into exactly what we were getting. We did enjoy our holiday and just used our room as a base - the worst thing was the lack of cleanliness - our room was never cleaned in 2 weeks - the maids visited 3 times and only made the beds (with the old covers!). The rooms were large and had really good potential - it wouldn't take much to make it a really nice apartment - clean it, replace curtains with huge tears in and replace toilet seat which was badly chipped and stained. The pool was also quite dirty - the corners of it were green. The staff were okay - everyone was moaning at how miserable they all were - but they seemed to work incredibly long hours. The problems we had were - 1. The toilet broke and no one came to fix it for 2 days - we couldn't flush it 2. The shower head broke off the wall 3. on 3 occasions we had no water to the apartment whatsoever (apparently if everyone has a shower at the same time it can't cope) The area is lovely - we didn't find it too noisy - the beaches are really good and the food is good - we liked the chinese restaurants in Sa Coma and the beachfront Antic restaurants best. Tony's and Fogons and the Red Lion are also worth a visit. There's not much in the way of evening entertainment which we are used to having so we 'gatecrashed' other hotels nearby. On the whole we did enjoy ourselves but have realised that it is not our sort of holiday - we like nice rooms that are cleaned regularly, air conditioning and evening shows etc. If you've already booked, don't worry you'll have a good holiday and if your thinking of booking just remember that it is budget accommodation. Incidentally I spoke to loads of other guests who were really pleased with the accommodation and would come back again. (There are 2 buildings at Arcos - I stayed in the one over the road from the pool and the standards may have been different in these).
loved the arcos playa apts s,illot
friendly staff good food enjoyed meeting new people . excellent family holiday clean apts would go back to the arcos playa apts again.
loved it!
i stayed at this hotel with 9 other family members,including my 11 month old son.i thought the sights were amazng,and the beach and surrounding areas were outstanding.the staff at this hotel were always very polite and helpful,and midweek into our hol my son became ill,it was 1am and the hotel was closed,so i went and got our rep who called out a doctor.she was so helpful and the doctor came.i would definanately say that this resort is for young families,or the more mature people.everything is right outside your door,with the beach just a blink away.the pool area is great in the afternoon for the sun,and it also has a great pool,and the hotel caters for everybody. i would rate this hotel to anybody.
great for family
this was our first time here we had a great time . the staff are great would go again. but can not find it anywere in northeren ireland travel agants the one we went with do not do it anymore. i dont know why ! so anyway the beach is great for all mostly kids lots of shops great fun park over in sa coma ., the best place there to eat is be ba bo they are great with kids my youngs aubrey just loved it there . the bus stop is just right outside so it is great to go to local towns and does not coast much. so much great things we could tell you but best thing to say is just go and you will see for yourself and have a great time
Very Nice Place
Well as the title says it nice but that could be a little harsh. We didnt know what to expect as the holiday was a late booking and was very cheap. This was the first holiday for me and the misses so you could say sort of a honeymoon (lol). We arrived around 5am and was greeted very warmly buy the staff we were checked in and then were shown to our rooms wow bigger than expected. The lounge was spacious with plenty of seating area the 2 bedrooms were big also... the up keep of the rooms buy the cleaners was very good they would come in each day and change the bedding and the towels and clean the apartment throughout very well. The pool was not very big but was ample for a swim or just a mess about with the other guests. But that didn’t matter as the beach was about 3 mins walk away and in my opinion the staff couldn,t do enough for you. TONY was a scream LOL when we played the games at night. There are plenty of shops to choose from and were very cheap and also the restaurants around the hotel did excellent food and were very cheap...we and our son enjoyed it very much and are going back this year and looking forward to it...
very noisey
Arrived at Arcos Playa Apartments in the early hours of the morning-no one showed us to our room and when we were walking up the stairs no one could even be bothered to put a light on for us or show us where the switch was! carrying suitcases we nearly broke out necks. The first impression of our apartments was that it was very average as far as cleaniness was. It was just about acceptable-not immaculate!! But we were very impressed with the size of the apartment. There was myself, my sister, my two daughters and my nephew.It was huge and the balcony was gorgeous-view was on to the street and we could just about see the sea but it was OK. Loads of shops nearby which was great and all were really really cheap. We ate out every night for bargain prices and the food was lovely. The pool was quite small for the size of the Hotel but seeing as the beach was so close it wasn't a problem.(3 minutes walk). Staff were OK nothing to write home about. Don't know about the food, we didn't eat in the awful looking, smoky joes cafe that was at the Hotel-looked really dirty. Now here comes the big "DON'T GO HERE" We had no sleep all week-after dark the place is so so noisey there is no way you can get any sleep-I have never heard noise like it in my life-everyone seems to come awake after dark(locals) its not safe to go out after dark on your own-locals were very intimidating. There were loads of really noisey mopeds speeding up and down, joy riding,people shouting,dustmen emptying glass bottles and cans every night into a metal container at about 4 every morning, which when your just nodding off frightens the hell out of you. S'illot itself though is a gorgeous place- I would definately go back but not stay in The Arcos Playa.
friendly but dull
Never go here if you are a young couple!!!! it is for families and more mature couples, even the staff hate it there. Steve and Danny were very nice staff (if there still there). The food was nice and you got genorous portions. The pool wasn't up to much so we went to the beach everyday as it was only across the road. Our rooms only got cleaned twice a week, so our towels ended up very dirty because of the messy floor! The location isnt very good for clubbing either, only a few pubs there. Onkel willy's is a very nice place to eat there for dinner, and the red lion was excellent for breakfast, with a lovely couple who owned it, both of these were on the beach front. Overall the holiday was ok if you want to relax, are a big family or an older couple.
fantastic as always
we have returned once again from the arcos playa s'illot for the 5th time and as always cant wait to go back again. the staff are so friendly itsd like going home every year. the apartmnebt are lovely and clean and cleaned every other day. see u all next year xx
