“Pleasantly suprised!!”

Hotel Apartamento Santa Eulalia Beach Club

11 Apr 2008
2/2 found this review helpful

Having booked and then read the reviews on this page I arrived at the hotel expecting the worst or at least not too much. Pleasantly suprised! The ease of check-in was good - and thanks to the review about needing deposits for the air-con and tv remotes and the safety deposit - I was well prepared!

My room was on the 3rd floor, very spacious, clean and all the facilities you will need for a self catering holiday (although the kitchenette would be difficult to prepare a full meal in as it only has a small 2 ring hob.) The beds were very comfortable and the views were good, although there is a busy road that runs in front of the hotel - but you seem not to notice this in time!!

The pool is of a good size and the pool area gets the sun for most of the day - there have been comments on here about the lack of sunbeds..that would probably be right in the high season, however the beaches are too nice to sit around the pool all day! The pool is very clean but deeper than I expected!

The bar was only used twice as the prices are at least double what you will pay a short walk up the road and the staff didn't seem too friendly, although no specifics!

The reception staff are quite knowledable and friendly, although you can actually get cheaper day trips from some of the shops in town (taxi transfers offered at 28€ but can get for 20€ in town).

Don't make the mistake of getting a taxi to the Old Town either (average 5€) as there is a land train that costs 3€ return. The Old Town is well worth visiting as it takes you away from the 'kiss me quick brigade' on The Strip! However the restaurants in and around The Strip are worth visisting catering for every taste.

Coyote Bar, a short walk from the hotel, is worth 1€ a beer! plus if you like your sports all the football was shown (Play up Pompey!!)
Paulis Italian restaurant was excellent as was Donaldos just off the strip - the sardines were superb!!

Hope that this helps! All in all a good base and I would be happy to visit again.

“Living up to expectations”

Hotel Apartamento Santa Eulalia Beach Club

Save Review
3 of 5 stars
York, United Kingdom

5/5 found this review helpful

We wanted an early Spring break just to remind us that the sun is still indeed warm. I read the reviews and really encountered what I expected. The price we paid was pretty low and for that I thought the standards were ok.

The apartments were spacious and clean and we got maid service 3 times during the week. The decor was a bit slapdash, whoever painted over the cupboard doors needs to retake their training but did not detract from the enjoyment. The worse problem was the leaking pipes from the bath and the fact that the waste water system did not seem able to cope with any sort of volume of water and came out of, what seemed to be vents in the bathroom. This was only bath water, it wasn't from the toilet! Reporting it didn't produce anything other than a clean up and other guests we spoke to seemed to have a similar problem but it was more inconvenient than anything else.

Other than that we had no problems, even with sunbeds but then it was mid March and I can see how the number of beds might cause problems in the busy season.

All the staff we met were courteous and helpful, although the width of the smile did vary among individuals, especially on reception.

The hotel is right next to bars and restaurants with a range to suit both appetites and pockets bu the shortest walk ot the beach was about 10 mins and a rather steep hill to walk back up.

Overall, I felt it was good value for money and if I was looking for budget accommodation again, wouldn't hesitate - as opposed to my avoiding again using Thomas Cook's airline, obviously targetted at people under 5 feet tall or with unnaturally short legs.

“Its just not golf”

Hotel Apartamento Santa Eulalia Beach Club

22 Mar 2008
4/4 found this review helpful

We went to this hotel for a golf trip. The hotel is ok, but I wouldn't recommend staying there if you want entertainment. It is quite central, but the main night life is about 2-3 miles away. The room I stayed in was quite a walk from the reception, but was clean and basic.
The staff were not very helpful. We had no help to find our room or information about any facilities. Also I strongly recommend a safe for your valuables.

3/3 found this review helpful

Me and my partner stayed at the Santa Eulalia Beach club in Feb half term, we were very impressed by the cleanliness of these apartments, rooms were cleaned daily and towels changed every other day.
The outside could do with a lick of paint but the apartments themselves were absolutely fine. Rooms were spacious with brand new furniture.

Good location, near to the beach and supermarkets.

Cheap buses (bus stop outside tourist information (here you can collect a bus timetable)).

“Santa Eulalia- a reps review”

Hotel Apartamento Santa Eulalia Beach Club

18 Feb 2008
2/2 found this review helpful

Ok, During my time as a rep in portugal, I reped the santa eulalia.
Its a hotel just off the main town area, dubbed family freindly and sold as a cheap and cheerful holiday.
First off, the looks. The hotel appears dirty and dated, but I suppose you get what you pay for.
The pool is adiquatly sized, but not enough sunbeds for the size of the hotel.
There is a kids club on site, and most activities are free so theres time for the adults to relax too.
Rooms are a good size. There is no sea view (whatever the brochures may say) and some rooms do look over a car park/bins. Oh and despite the title, the hotel is at least 10 minutes away from any beach!
At night, there can be a little rowdiness as there is always entertainment at the bar, but at midnight the bar closes no matter how many people are in it, so be warned.
The reception staff can be a little abrasive but the bar staff are nice as pie.
Overall a good hotel and appeals to those who want a cheap getaway
