BEWARE

Dec 2011, Jules

Please please do not go to this hotel, where do I start..
This is not a 4 star hotel, to begin; the decor is worn and in need of update; the lifts breakdown; the entertainment is poor and the lights in your room go out.
The food was appalling. There was a choice of 3 dishes each evening, of which one was always pork. I asked why and was told because it is cheap. The other two choices varied from small squares of cheap cheese and tomato pizza, to if you were lucky chicken thighs.
But worst of all the treatment of the guests by staff. I went as an all inclusive guest to make two rolls at the buffet snack bar, to take to my two wet children by the swimming pool. The staff LOCKED me in the restaurent and REFUSED to let me out until I handed back the rolls. I've never been held hostage before, especially over two ham rolls. Hamgate!!

Bad Terrible Hotel

Do not understand how this hotel could be classed as a 4-star hotel. Delete all the stars, it becomes more equitable.
First got a room that stank of urine and asked to change according to the receptionist so was the smell of the sea! :-O got another room and this was the worst we've ever had.
Luftkoditioneringen was moldy at In & outside the room where we slept. Bathrooms air conditioning was the same horrible condition ... Black mold in the bathroom ceiling & tile joints.
The beds were ROCK HARD & in poor condition according to the receptionist were the newly purchased since 2009. :-O If you look at the pictures on them so you can see directly how old they are. We had to buy air mattresses to sleep on the beds so we survived the night.
The elevator that went to the outside was slow so it was not in a hurry if you were somewhere ... When it came down in the basement where breakfast & lunch & dinner is served, it was superdammigt in elevator shafts as you looked through the glass windows in the elevator.
Old furniture in general and very worn everywhere.
The food was cheap but it was the same for breakfast, lunch & dinner daily.
After two days would no longer eat there ....
sunbed was, during all criticism ragged & dirty & about 5-6stycken was bloody throughout our stay even though we reported this to reception

  • Advice: Expect Nothing from this hotel Santa susana is a sunresort Santa Susana beach is steep & deep when you get into the water & sand & coarse you have to have slippers or you'll get really sore feet.

Never Again

went here with my husband, 6yr old son and 5 month old daughter. The smell of the room as we walked in was disgusting, the bed clothes were awful!!! The bathroom was disgusting!!! Food was very poor although plenty of it, ended up eating out after 3days of belly full of over cooked food. Nothing to do for my son, entertainment never seemed to be on and the staff were not very helpfull (well most of them). The hotel seemed to be full of old locals!! we are not fussy people!!! This was also our honeymoon, so turned out not a very good one because of the lack of standards and friendlyness at this hotel!!!! i would not recommend this place to anyone with a young family!! The sun never seemed to shine on the pool!!! The beach was terrible we got sore feet from walking on it, there was no sand just small stones...and 2foot into the water there was a massive drop!!! so not very safe for kids, not to mention the sweage floating in it.

Went to the Royal Sun in October last year ( 2009 ). Went with my pregnant missus and really enjoyed it. No complaints at all . . . oh . . . except the bread was never fresh . . . not really life threatening ! Going again this year in september with the missus and my 4 month old daughter . . . rally looking forward to it ! Hotel was clean, staff friendly and the food was great . . . except the bread ! If you pay £1000 for a week you won't be happy, but we're all paying a lot less . . . so enjoy ! We did . . . we will again . . . and so will you !

We booked this through media Travel, a last minute break for the easter holidays. Was quoted by thier rep as being a 4 star hotel, and thats what prompted us to book, you cant go wrong with a four star... lol
How wrong we were, firsly Resort Hoppa dropped us a good
10 min walk to hotel, in the dark, I think this is shocking.
We booked in, room was smallish but clean, functional.
In the morning we decided to upgrade from full board to
all inclusive, we got a quote from reception 9euro per day for adults 4.5 for 13 year old. Thought this would save us on money for snacks and drinks.
As we had arrived late we missed breakfast and went to get a snack, the only snack on offer was cheese and ham sandwich with crisps, no cake, hot dog burger, which is usually standard in 4 star hotels in Spain. Coffee was from a machine, luke warm. We noticed that the seats in reception and smoking room were torn. Hotel was clean but
the lifts were slow and smelled. Lunch time came, food was well below standard for a 4 star hotel, re cycled food from lunch served at dinner, We lived of salads, which I have seen better in 3 star hotels. Chips, veg which was over cooked and frozen, could not eat the meat.
I am not a fussy eater.
Our bed linen was not changed once in the week we were there.
Drinks were all localy produced, tastless, so we stuck to lager/lime localy produced Bailleys Everything lacked taste.
We even stayed the night in Barcelona to escape.
Media Travel eventually, contacted us on the Thursday
offering to move us to Calella, we were going home on the Saturday. But we had checked out and moved into Aqua Hotel Onabrava, a true 4 star in my opinion. Go there if you go anywhere in Santa Susanna. My 13 year old left a pair of shoes, in royal sun, on our return that night, they were gone, even though the receptionist mentioned the shoes when she saw us. This is never a 4 star hotel, misselling should be illegal. I would give this hotel a 2 star.

We went to the Royal Sun october 2009, we were quite happy with everything overall. The reception staff were brilliant, all the staff were friendly at all times. The hotel is imaculately clean, rooms serviced every day. The food is good and plentiful, pools are nice and the location is right on the beach, what more could you want! We are returning in september for a week, that should be recomendation enough for anyone.

we booked to stay here in April 2010, when we got there we were placed in the Royal Sun suites which are not on the beach they are up a side street, so do please double check that you are definitely staying in the hotel on the beach, the food was horrible, undercooked and cold and to top it off the weather was freezing so can say without a doubt we will never return.

Having just returned from a week's holiday, for the first time ever I was glad to be returning home.Yes it was a cheap break no arguments about that and all the other reviews were correct with regards to the cleanliness, maid service excellent and food not bad at all but how this hotel got a 4star rating beggars belief! It was more like a 2 star, rooms were small and very basic (in need of decoration desparately) which we could put up with but the walls were paper thin and we could hear people going to the toilet from all sides not to mention other things!! There is only one quite small entertainment room considering the size of the hotel which houses the pool table as well as the other gaming machines and air hockey machine. The television room is also the smoking room and the railway line runs right next to the hotel. There were no traditional restaurants in the resort to eat in and what we didn't know was that the week we picked was one of the most busiest for football tournaments so alot of noise from drunken youngsters until 4am and then again during the day not the traditional quieter resort at all.Could imagine it is very busy with the 18-30 crowd.
