This has been, by far, the best holiday we have had in recent years. Our children are at the tricky tween/ pre teen stage so it can sometimes be a struggle to please everyone but this hotel had it all - amazing staff, stunning views, excellent service, range of facilities for children of all ages and easy to access local amenities. The staff made this holiday for us. We are not sun worshippers so we enjoyed relaxing in each others company but participating in a range of activities with the entertainment staff. The staff even managed to persuade our pre teen sons to participate in activities such as boules, water basket, darts etc. The entertainment staff have the patience of saints and the energy to match as they quickly got to know all the children and included them day or night in their activities. The Shetland ponies are an added bonus and have a homely, cosy impact on the hotel. The hotel is set in a beautiful location with a beach that has a coastal path you can walk along. Our children loved the view of the boats and vessels passing daily and one of them even tried paddle boarding (private facility not provided by hotel) for the first time. Just round the corner of the path leading to the pebble beach was a diving area for people to use. We all had a swim in the sea within view of our hotel, it was a fabulous memory for us as a family. There are many excursions you can book through the hotel operators if you want to explore more of Santa Ponca. We took a trip out dolphin watching. This trip also let us view other resorts on the coast. You can also get the ferry to Palma for the day. We didn't get to do this unfortunately but we will next time. If you are not a fan of boats, the hotel is within walking distance of Santa Ponca which has a good selection of restaurants, bars and shops to visit and a lovely promenade which is great for people watching and frequently by the locals. I would highly recommend this hotel for families and couples alike. The staff make it a memorable experience and the view is stunning especially at sunset.
