On arriving at reception we were not greeted warmly at all. Thrust a key in our hands, told out door turn left. Following their directions we struggled in the dark to find our apartment,having nearly breaking every bone in our bodies due to the sheer drop of the steps unlit... more

We have had a number of people say to us that Santa Ponsa has gone down hill and there is no way of glossing over the facts but it certainly has. We had not been here for years and it has slid into decay, run down and dated. The hotel was adequate though, clean, friendly... more

We were a bunch of girls and boys who booked this in March of last year(2010) and we arrived in July. It was far too quiet and talking to locals who work there they told us that this resort has gone down in tourist in the last 5 years by about 60%. This made it very boring... more

Should have styed across the road. from Lovethisworld
Hi, We stayed at Holiday Centre in Sept. and had a good holiday. Location was great and Santa Ponsa is a fantastic resort. Holiday Centre also owns the hotel across the road which is called HolidayPark and we thought that we had chosen the better hotel..... well, completely wrong because although Holiday Center is a great place, across the road is by far better and we ended up spending every day of our holiday across the road....the atmosphere was much better, the pool was bigger, and the staff there all spoke English and really made the effort to be friendly. We had a look at one of the rooms and it was exactly the same as Holiday Centre, but maybe in a little better condition than Holiday Centres. All in all, if you have the option of staying in either, stay across the road in Holidat Park. Also, if you are going into Palma, get the bus as early as you can cos by midday the buses are packed!
fantastic from half_pintIreland
Oh my god, this is the best holiday I have ever had. beautiful aprtment. so clean. fantastic pool. great bar. brilliant night life. staff so so friendly. perfect location. I love santa ponsa but these apartments really make the holiday special. go!!!!!!
Would never stay here again from emily2000
I'm just back after a week in Santa Ponsa, I stayed in these apartments with three other girls&it was the worse place ever that I've stayed in. The apartment was small one of my friends had to sleep on the floor and they wouldnt even give her a pillow or a blanket,the place wasnt cleaned once while we were there and was thrown few towels and 1 roll of tiolet paper every second day,there is no elevators there so everyone there had to pull their cases upstairs we were lucky we were on the ground floor. The people working there wasnt one bit helpful they were rude and moody, we asked for a taxi one night and the one at reception wouldnt even call a cab for us. just as well we were only here a few hours during the night. The nightlife was good there pubs never closed, Dubliner and Durty Nellys are very good pubs with liove bands every night. Every Spanish person we met there was rude. I would consider going back there in a few years but would never stay in these apartments again. If you are thinking of going on your hols dont stay in these apartments.
Santa Ponsa is a lively resort and has something for everyone. from jazmail66
We really enjoyed our stay in Santa Ponsa and will definitely return. The Holiday Centre Apartments are located very close to the resorts restaurants, bars and the beach. Cannot fault the resort. The only fault we found with the Holiday Centre was the noise during the night; if you are a light sleeper then this accommodation is not for you. Other than that the Holiday Centre was nice budget accommodation. We ate in Jackie's and Mrs Murphy's Kitchen...I have to say the food in Jackie's is delicious, definitely worth a visit.
great location, basic from Love2travelme
Just back from a 2 week stay in the holiday centre apts, great location for nightlife and beach. The apt wasn't cleaned once in 2 wks, the maids knocked twice while we were there and handed me towels and the linen was only changed once and even then it was left on the sofa for me to do, some of the apparently 'clean' towels were dirty as well. I'm not that fussy about apts and usually go for cheap and basic but I do expect a certain level of cleaniless, so i wasn't happy on that front at all! Apart from that a had a great hol n highly recommend the Rebels bar just a few doors down for breakfast, irish stew n great craic at night as well!
good apartments but ditch the 'entertainer' from smedleyswife
The apartments are very clean and spacious (especially room 458) the towels and bedding were changed every other day. the complex is central to all bars etc and the large pool is cleaned daily. all staff speak english and the apartments are well equipped should you wish to eat in. The drawback was the 'entertainer' who was a geordie given to innuendo and his 'act' left a lot to be desired. The annual barbecue was held weekly (not sure how that works) and he was obviously on commission as he attempted to press gang residents into attending. The sunbeds are free but there are no cushions for them, and the bar prices are 2-3x that of the bars outside consequently few people actually stayed in the complex at night. Whilst i would go back i would recommend that the management hire a professional entertainer and charge realistic prices,
Basic but great from DublinGirl353
I've stayed in the Holiday Centre apartments a few times. Twice last summer. I find them great. We had a party of 12 last july and we had 4 apartments which was great. We had no hassle at all there. The noise was kept to a minimum at night by the security guard. The apartments are compact, but more than enough room for 3 adults and a child, I would love to kno how they would fit 4 adults into the apartment tho!! The food in the apartments bar is nice but there are a few really good restaurants nearby. I'd suggest Rebels a few dorrs down for breakfast, and MAde in Italy for dinner. Its lovely, and for those people who come home at night with the munchies, Made In Italy stays open until 6am serving take away food. Simplys bar across the road is great too.. My neices had a ball (ages 7 and 9), and so did we!
pleasantly surprised family of 4 from Glasgow Scotland from Proctors
After booking the holiday centre apartments online I was a bit worried by some of the reviews but was pleasantly surprised when we got there. When I booked I had asked for a spacious apartment for a family of four on the ground floor and close to the pool this is exactly what we got. The apartment was big enough for the four of us. The bedroom had two single beds which the kids slept and my husband and I slept in the lounge on a sofa pull out bed which was reasonably comfortable. The apartment was your normal basic holiday accomodation but very clean and our towels where changed every two days which was great. Not a great kitchen area but we ate out so did use it. The complex was very clean as well with a childrens play area which was directly across from our room which was good. the pools were clean one kids pool and one big pool. The snack bar was clean and food was ok. The entertainment at night was your usual kids disco but ok nothing brillant but there is plenty other places to go in Santa Ponsa. Try out Berties bar just down the street if your have kids they have a childrens play room which is supervised you just sign the kids in and then go and sit in the bar and have a drink while your kids are looked after at no cost. Also places to eat try Mrs Murphys just further down for breakfast or dinner nice and reasonable. If you like steaks and big ribs then try Crocadiles which is further down past the beach lovely!! Went the to the beach also nice and clean. All in all we had a lovely relaxing weeks holiday. I think going in May was just ideal as the apartments where quiet and so was the town not too much hussle and bussle when you have young kids. Only one thing I will mention is the apartments are used by a travel co in Ireland so it is 99% used by Irish not that I mind the Irish they are lovely people but being the only scots family there it could be quite intimidating especially in the high season months but Santa Ponsa is very Irish orientated and green if you know what I mean so if you are that way brilliant if not dont go!!
Great choice well maintained from PuryEnd
Originally booking into Sun Beach but on arrival told that we where in Holiday Centre which was a surprise but turned out to be the much better hotel. We where in Santa Ponsa for the early Easter break and the weather was not good. The hotel is a bit of a walk up a gentle slope from the main strip but only 3 minutes so no panic even after a night out. The good thing was that it was at the edge of the main town just as it turns residential so ultra quiet for sleeping. The apartments themselves are very well kept and the beds where the best bit of all comfortable they even had good pillows. The kitchen had good equipment even if the hot plates got a bit of getting used to with the timer but by day 3 we had it down. The fridge was adequate for breakfast stuff but would not like to cook dinner for the family there.... The complex itself is well laid out with a good sized pool, sunbathing areas off it including a bit of grass and childrens play area. They also had semi-private sunbathing terraces where you could make it your own private deck - great idea. Did not eat at the hotel so cannot comment as the strip has so many places to eat and found an amazing Argentinian restaurant that was packed out with locals getting amazing steaks. Would go back to Holiday Centre and would definitely recommed it to friends.
Great place to go, loving the locality from Buffygirl
Myself and my boyfriend stayed in the Holiday Centre for a week. We both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. It is literally a minute walk from the strip and we found the staff very friendly. Accommodation is very good. Our linen was regularly changed and the cleaning staff were friendly. Happy hour was from five to six with two for one on everything. Plenty of activity around the pool. Plenty of mixture of ages on the holiday and suitable for people with young kids. Mini disco in the evening and tennis court for the kids. Entertainment provided by the staff however I found that it was underutiltised by the particular group of visitors staying there. I have been on other holidays that have provided less entertainment but more people get involved if you get me. We hired a car for two of the days we were there. Luckily it was a wise decision as we had two days of unusually bad weather. We drove into Palma and found lovely little coastal towns of Port Andraitx literally a five minute drive. Beautiful beach in Santa Ponsa with plenty of shops etc. All round a fantastic holiday.
