Santa Ponsa Holiday Reviews

The Square is interesting at night with different entertainment each night & a choice of bars surrounding it,this is in the Costa de la Calma area a short walk from the main beach in Santa Ponsa. There is a fiesta at the beginning of September each year & there was music on a stage next to the beach until early morning, it was fascinating to see people of different nationalities experiencing it and staying out late.The firework display is not to be missed.Plenty of bars for drinking or meals we liked Sherezade overlooking the beach. The buses leave to places like Palma,Magaluf from a small terminus near the beach.Plenty of entertainment choices but you can get away from al the noise if you want a quieter time.Lovely strolling along the beach on a warm evening window shopping unless your wife is with you. Okay for children as well.

It's just the same as everywhere else really - a whole load of cheesy bars playing cheesy music for people who just want a laugh. Which is fine, but don't come here expecting anything high quality. It's basically a Yates' Wine Bar but bigger. During the day the beach is a nice place to hang out - or you can go and see a bit more of the island - it's not too far to Palma - 20 minutes in a cab should do it...and it's worth it.

A medium/large sized resort with plenty of bars and restaurants.A large Irish quarter where it really comes alive at night.Nice beaches,and good views over the Santa Ponsa Bay if you are brave enough to climb to the steps to the take in the amazing views.

A pretty resort with lovely beaches and sea, nice place to walk plenty of bars, shops, nightlife etc.

Great resort. Loads to do. Lots of good value restaurants especially Rheine Restaurant. The Prince Bar in the square is great value for money, great fun trying all the cocktails

A lovely resort to suit all tastes. Plenty of places to eat, clubs for those that want them but up one end of the resort so not in your face if you don't want them. Very clean resort and easy to get around on bus or by car.

Santa Ponsa is lovely.

Santa Ponsa itself was nice lovely beach loads of shops bars and restaurants. We found ricki's very reasonable and very nice for English food, and kelly's on the corner was also nice but abit more expensive.

Santa Ponsa is a lovely place, with a lovely clean beach and plenty of bars and restaurants. We were on half board at our hotel but ate out one night at Crocodillos, it was excellent, highly reccommended, do go there!

The resort takes about 20 minutes to walk to and there are various shops to look in, on the way. There is a large Irish part to Santa Ponsa, which is very lively but means that the resort is dominated by Irish people. There are plenty of things to see at night in the centre such as artists, living statues etc. For entertainment go to the square which is 5 minutes away from the hotel. Here you can sit and watch various acts such as tribute bands(Westlife, Abba, Elvis etc) and also some international acts such as the excellent Beijing acrobats. All in all we enjoyed the holiday, a very good hotel but not quite enough in the resort to make us go again.

fantastic beach,with lovely views, resort quite busy especially the end with all the bars but someting to walk round every night. Beach bars very expensive almost 3 times price of local supermarkets or street bars. Also check out the parakeets in the trees next to the beach area they are facinating to watch.

This was our 6th trip to Majorca and the first time to Santa Ponsa. We did not eat out as we were half board. Generally cocktails were around 5 euros, there was a bar where all drinks were 2 euros and the cocktails in there were fine but the beer was not great. In Strings you could get 2 pints of beer and 2 pints of cocktails all for 11 euros. They also had live entertainment – the in house girl group and boy group were very good but they had a Tina Turner tribute on one night and she was terrible. In the square all cocktails were 5 euros so we ended up getting a litre jug between 2 of us for 12 euros as it worked out cheaper. Ultimately you are paying for the live entertainment. Each night they have something for the kids at the start of the night followed by an act (usually a tribute act) in the interval there are audience participation games then the act continues. We saw the following tributes: Westlife – excellent, Abba – good, Madonna – terrible, Bee Gees – bad, Rod Stewart – excellent, Drifters – ok plus Disney Dream factory which was very good. When the act finishes the looky-looky men descend like vultures. I bought a watch which started out at 40 euros for 7 euros. Just say no thanks and they will move on to the next person. Do not under any circumstances pay the full price that they ask for unless you have more money than sense! This is the first time I have seen numerous people with dogs in a holiday resort and watch out for dog poo on the pavements if you walk up towards the marina. Can’t comment on the beach as we never went. One thing we did do was go to Pirates Adventure in Magaluf. Even though we have been to Majorca 5 times before we had never been and my goodness it is FANTASTIC!!! It seems expensive when you book your ticket but it is worth it. I lost count of how many times I said “oh my god” or “wow”. Be warned, the seats are pretty uncomfortable but a sore bum and/or back is a small price to pay for such an amazing show.

the resort is beautiful with a lovely beach. plenty of bars and shops. Everything you need close at hand. Resort not to big but then again not to small. Me and my family just love santa ponsa. Also the western waterpark, great for all ages. Santa ponsa not to far from palma airport. Easy to get around to maguluf for the pirates show and palma nova.

It was a fantastic holiday, weather was gorgeous, plenty to do in the evening, lots of trip available, go & see Captain Birdseye on the corner of the Hesperia for Boat Trips - Best value around!!!!

had read all the reviews so was a bit wary about going but what alittle gem it was nothing to complain about only that the rep at thomas cook didnt book us a sea view or balcony but didn't let it spoil areally relaxing holiday would go back
