Submitted By: murdieminxall hotel staff were friendly and helpful...jose behind the bar in western saloon is encouragable (haha)...his slippery nipples and monkey brains are legendry!!! catchphrase " are YOU looking at me???" "asta la vista baby"... Christina is a sweetheart (goodluck for wedding in may) and DONT "hi 5" Tito, stings for ages!!
Thomson reps!! I didnt have anything to do with the ones looking after the kids during day coz obviously my son was too old!! but what i saw the little ones adore them!!! Clairey Fairey was a wee scottish babe, full of amazing energy (must be the haggis and whiskey) and put 100% into everything, more than JUST a job to her!!! she was friendly,helpful remembered everyones name, an all round workaholic whos nature never changed!!! i met vicky a couple of times and she was always pleasant....but the rest i found didnt acknowlegde your exsistance.
Zorro : a scream a minute, he was such a good entertainer and really knew how to get the audience going!!!hilarious with the grannys and welsh..a great all rounder
Chris AKA kiko : good laugh...kids loved him a kiko especialy when he tripped. Craig loved kicking his [--] at cards and pool (haha)
Oli : such a laid back easy-going man!! He is a person a mother would love to have as their son!! good-looking, witty, kindhearted man, and great with people of all ages..
"AVA" : where do i begin about this doll!! She is beautiful inside and out and has an amazing aura sorrounding her!! this girl is a very clever person and has not got ONE bad bone in her body!!! You would be privilegded to know her..
On this holiday we met LOADS of familys ...and we were the only "newbies" who hadnt beeen before, many go twice/three time year so to me that screams an amazing holiday for families-kids are totally safe-its soo secluded-and if their happy. your happy

" "Butlins San Miguel"
If you... "
If you like "Butlins" this is the place for you. Kids/teenagers running wild and out of control. Drunken loud mouthed parents. Unable to sleep until early hours after parents decide to stagger back to room and finally kids under control!
Hotel and grounds run down and in much need of refurbishment / clean.
Food is average, they do try with carvery and fish nights! Chinese ok.
Not enough beds to cope around the pool side and very congested. Set your alarm clock no later than 07:00. The best option is the beach, but watch out for the jelly fish!
Plus points - in a lovely location, directly looking onto a small clean beach.
Night entertainment excellent - Zorro a credit to the hotel!
Looking at reviews - Of course parents with families want to go back year after year - they get sloshed and collect as many plastic cups as possible for a trophy and the kids run around wild like wilderbeast and are allowed to do whatever they want!!!! Security guards / hotel staff unable to control. Maybe think about going out of season?
Would I go back, NO - i'll go an african safari instead!

" Once again an excellent holiday (this... "
Submitted By: Mr M PALMERFood is very good for all inclusive. Entertainment is first class from the hotel animation team, although this year the Thomsons reps left a lot to be desired, although the Thomsons kids reps were first class.
The bar staff and cleaners are unsung heroes, - they work their socks off.
There have been some negative comments posted here, but each to their own.
There is only one comment on here that I can't agree with and that is the one that states that the hotel will not get a refurb as it is open all year round.
The fact is that the hotel shuts in winter (as do most in Ibiza). So if people want to make negative comments fine. But get your facts right first.
Already booked for July 2008

" Just arrived back from San Miguel... "
Submitted By: Miss D KershawThe whole place was kept spotless. On awaking each morning you could see the pool being cleaned; all sun beds were hosed along with the tables and chairs. I took my son to the drop in centre to play to be met by the loveliest reps, they were all great with the children especially jolly Jodie.
The evening entertainment was such a laugh after the children’s mini disco the entertainment team were all well up for a laugh doing team games and cabarets.
I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to anyone. All I would say is there isn't anything to do outside the hotel unless you were to take the bus or boat which we found not a problem. So if you’re going I hope you have as good a time as we did.

" This hotel is great if you want to be... "
Submitted By: Mrs K CottonThere are many breached health & safety issues with no door locks to balcony doors, so it was difficult to keep children off, as the gap under the balcony wall was wide enough that a small child could fall through and we were two floors up. The safety rails on high walls around some parts of the hotel are rotten through. We have photographic evidence to back our claims.
We did complain the same day we arrived but it was a week before we were allocated larger safer rooms. We have written to Thompsons but to no avail. This hotel is supposed to be child friendly it is everything but.
On the plus side the entertainment was good, the food was ok, and the beach was a great escape from the mayhem around the pool. No I would not recommend this hotel to anyone travelling with very young children, at least not until it has had a complete refurbishment. Which is unlikely as its open all year.

" If you want entertainment for kids,... "
Submitted By: Mrs C RussellI went here at the beginning of May with my husband and 2 boys (7 and 4 at the time) for 1 week. All I can say is we had a fantastic time and wished we had booked for 2 weeks, as we did not want to go home.
The kids entertainment was excellent day and night. For the Adults - Zorro, Chris and Ollie had us laughing non stop all holiday.
The food was excellent You have two restaurants to choose from plus a burger bar and a mexican and chinese, which you have to book for in advance with reception (mexican situated in the Gallon).
The rooms are basic but are cleaned daily, plus you are not there to spend your days in the room.
There is a few souvenirs shops across the road, plus car hire we hired our car through the reps. For one days hire it cost us £35 might have changed now. Whatever you do try not to walk into the town unless you like walking as it took us nearly 2 hours and yes we got a taxi back.
We have just booked to go back the end of May next year for two weeks and I can't wait!

The rooms are cleaned and bedding changed daily. The entertainment is first class...it’s been a different holiday to what we wanted but we will never return unless the hotel does something about the problems.

" If you like sun, sea, sand,... "
Submitted By: Miss MC HoweMe and my other half enjoyed a relaxing week at the San Miguel Beach Club in September 2006 and would thoroughly recommend this hotel to couples and young families.
The atmosphere has a very Spanish feel and the people are very friendly. It is excellent value for money for a 3* to 2* hotel, although as previously mentioned in other reviews it could do with a refurbishment, however, the price would not be approx. £380 per person fully inclusive.
There are three Hotels you can use; The Galleon, The San Miguel Hotel and San Miguel Beach Club. All three have restaurants open for breakfast, lunch and dinner; however The Galleon has a snack bar (burgers, chip etc) called Mexican Corner which operates in the day. The San Miguel Hotel has the Tap Tap Bar which serves Tapas, however it operates funny opening hours and a Chinese Restaurant. The San Miguel Beach Club has the Western Saloon where you can get burger, hotdogs, chips etc.
The food is very good, with quite a lot of choice to eat from meat to salads, however, I felt that lunches were better than dinner. They were never skimpy on the drinks and the banter with the bar staff was great fun.
The entertainment was lots of fun and all the reports of Zorro being hysterical are all true. The daytime entertainment was fantastic you could do as little or as much as you liked, there was cohesion involved, however if you did not want to participate then it was fine.
The beach is wonderful and the sun loungers are quite cheap to hire. However, most of the action happens around the pool at the beach club.
The place is kept very clean and rooms are cleaned daily.
Top Tips:
If you stay in the Beach Club you will have to book 24hours in advance to use the Chinese and other hotel restaurants excluding Mexican Corner and Tap Tap bar
If you love to see fish, take some bread down to the sea, you will be amazed
There are no cash points, the nearest is about 2 miles away up a very steep hill with no path, so exchange Euros before hand.
There are only basic supermarket shops available, however you can get English newspapers and those most treasured souvenirs
We went on the Thomson Mixed Market Tour (Wednesday only) which took us to Es Cana Hippy Market and Santa Eulalia for shopping. It was a bit more money than going by your own transport (about 56 euros), however it was an air conditioned bus, you had plenty of time to shop, they told you about the island and making the language barrier not an issue.
This holiday is not suitable for people who want hectic shopping trips or island clubbers. However, if you want a very chilled and relaxed holiday you won’t be disappointed with San Miguel.

" We have been here three years in a... "
Submitted By: Ms T A RossThe hotel staff are welcoming and helpful and cannot be faulted either. The rooms are adequate except for the lack of clothes space in face that is my only grouch about this place. The food is always good and the maitre'd remembers guests who go more than once which is really nice.
It is a great place for kids the beach is clean and the sea calm, crystal clear and inviting. What more you could you ask for.
