Sun Beach Apartments, Santa Ponsa Review

Overall Rating

Central, Clean, 24hr Desk. Good take away, right outside. Very Spacious Apartments. Great hot water for baths or the power shower.

3 lifts to some floors and it only has 7.
Lifts break down on a regular basis when it's raining.
24 hour noise, non stop.

Returned 24 May 2008.
Two Ladies aged 55 & 65... but young at heart!!

Just returned from the Sun Beach Apartments in Santa Ponsa Majorca.
Granted it wasn't the ideal weather, but you have to take the rough with the smooth, but not this rough!
When we arrived we were put on floor six, so into the lift we go... to floor three, then out of the lift and across a bridge about 100yards to another lift, then up to floor seven. YES SEVEN... and then walked to another lift to get down to floor six!! Was a ten minute job every time, up or down.
With regret I have to say the first three days were a wash out, and with the rain gettining into everything the lifts stopped working. So we had to walk up the 60 or so steps to our floor (not recommended for the older folk, disabled, or anyone with breathing difficulties) as we walked up the steps in the dark at about midnight, we felt really scared, two women on their own. I actually got hold of the concrete wall to help me climb them and got a very strong electric shock off the wall! it had an electric switch on it, but the rain must have got into it and electrified the wall.
Two nights later, the lift broke down with us in it, we had to stay intill someone heard us banging 30 minutes later, there was an alarm but didnt seem to attract the attention of anyone, even the 24hour reception!!
Going in early May we thought we would miss the noise from the younger element.. No. All night solid, we were only issued with one key to a room so if anyone wanted to come home earlier than the rest, they had the key, then the others would be hammering on the doors all night to be in. Finally after the last night club closed at 6am and everyone got tucked up at 7am or so, the maids would start working,and talking, and talking and shouting at one another from one floor to the next. That was all day!!
The rooms were basic but clean and towels were renewed every other day. The rooms were very spacious.
Just one minor grouch, the draining board top always had little ant like things running about, couldn't get shot of those.
Great hot water and a great bath and power shower. We had a problem with one of the cooker rings, but the men were there to mend it in five minutes; they said it was the rain again shorting the fuse box every five minutes.
The weather became slightly better and the problems were solved... except for the sleep on one night which is impossible.
Still enjoyed Santa Ponsa though, will go back sometime but getting too old for the Beach Apartments. Kids,go for it...you'll have a ball!!
