Europe Adventure Holidays

Great location just outside Edinburgh with public transport links into the City. We had a double bedded twin room which was spacious with a good range of amenities. We made good use of the swimming pool & spa facilities. Breakfast offered a lot of variety. The only minor niggles were no after hours food options / room service. We tried ordering from takeaways but sadly they weren’t prepared to deliver that far out? There is a direct bus service into Edinburgh located on the busy main road outside the hotel entrance. A dedicated pedestrian path through the grounds would be useful to avoid having to walk on the road particularly when returning at night with poor lighting. ….that aside I would happily recommend this hotel.

My fourth stay at Santa Barbra, we love the location, the outdoors and the weather. We'll be back

Nice surroundings with uninterrupted views to the distant mountains which gave a picturesque sunset backdrop at night. We stayed in Vesta rooms which were spacious and close to the main areas of the pool, reception, spa, and dining rooms. Our kids are 16 and 14 and we were fine using the adult pool which was the best option as it was a good size and normal depth. The main pool was a bit disappointing being a bit small and shallow throughout. We also used the adult dining room and bar which avoided the queues and noise of the main dining room. The food option for breakfast was fairly standard but ok. Dinner was a bit limited and repetitive. The hotel tried a few theme nights but the offer was limited and ran out quickly. Our daughter is vegetarian and there was very little choice throughout our stay that suited her. We were all inclusive and thought the best food option was the lunch restaurant by the pool, which had a good selection. Food was made to order and delivered by waiting staff. Although some options had an extra charge. The hotel is fairly isolated although there’s a good bus service to both Pollenca and Alcúdia beach which also stops at the old towns. Overall a very nice hotel with good facilities with welcoming and helpful staff.

Overall an enjoyable stay! Let’s start with the good, big room my son had his own bed and we had a double. Free minibar restocked daily and tea and coffee in the room. Nice adults only pool area (16 years plus) was very quiet all week and had no issue getting a sunbed. I would say though that if you are traveling with young kids it might be a bit more challenging to get a bed at the other bigger pool during peak times, but there are a lot of sunbeds and also a private beach, with a lot of free covered sun beds there too. Good food selection in the restaurant but also a lot of Turkish food which I was not brave enough to try. There was also a grill with meat outside and a wok section where you could create your own stirfry. On our last night there was also a kebab station. Overall you will certainly find something to eat and there are also some themed restaurants where you can eat free once or pay. (Bbq, Italian, Thai) Now the not so good, the shower is over bath and not very spacious or great water pressure. We had a room near the back of the hotel on the right side, there was a partial sea view which was nice but also a not so great view down below of the rubbish dump for the hotel next door. Ask for a room as far forward as possible in the hotel, that would definitely be better! Lifeguards - Liberty please make sure all your life guards can speak at least basic English, god forbid there is an emergency and you have a life guard you cannot communicate with!

Liked the property. The breakfast could have been better. Great location.

Great Staff and wonderful amenities. If we go back will definitely stay there again! Location is perfect with Central Station in walking distance. Our room with canal view was amazing. Besides a few minor things, we rate 5.
