I have been to Santa Ponsa eight times now, 5 with my parents and siblings, so I have been to some of the best hotels in the resort (Hesperia, Pionero, Punta Del Mar etc). However, my boyfriend and I had booked a cheapy last min deal and we decided upon the Golf Beach. I cannot praise it enough and I have visited some of the more luxurious hotels. It is a 2 star but the hotel is absolutely spotless, the rooms are quite big with comfy beds and a decent size balcony. The pool area again is spotless, loads of sun loungers considering and a fair size pool which runs shallow to deep so it caters for kids also. Breakfast is very simple, continental, but for 2 stars you can't fault it. The three gents, esp Peter, who run the hotel are so nice and approachable if you need any info! And chatty! Also their is a nice bar area that serves great grub with a pool table and shows sky digital for all us football fanatics who can't do without sky sports news for a week! The only marginal fault is there is no air conditioning but I think you are able to hire fans from reception. Overall, I thought it was great and I recommend it to anyone. Families, couples, massive groups of friends or single travellers. Just a fab wee hotel!

We stayed at the Golf beach hotel for just under a week and had an very good experience. The staff are brilliant and very chatty as other reviewers have stated, but i barely slept at all until we hired a fan. Our room had a ceiling fan but despite this and the fan, we were still too hot and barely spent a minute more than we had to in the room. The breakfast was basic but the hotel bar made up for it as it had a wonderful lunchtime menu and choice of drinks. I particularly enjoyed the pool and the location of the hotel is excellent. On the whole, a wonderful place, but better in cooler weather i think!

Perfectly positioned in Santa Ponsa. Near essential places such as Supermarkets, Bus and Taxi stops, wonderful restaurants and beach, but far enough away (though not too far - a short walk along the sea front) from the bustling Irish/Scottish pub and club end of the town. You can enjoy the nightlife but then come away from it for a quiet sleep!
Quiet, exceptionally clean pool area. Lovely all-night bar and friendly staff.
Spotless rooms and bathrooms.
I would definitely come back to Golf Beach and Santa Ponsa.

We stayed in this hotel the first 2 weeks in July and had an absolutely brilliant time! The hotel was spotless and the hotel staff were extremely friendly, they wouldn't pass you without saying hello and were on hand if anything went wrong. The pool are was small, quiet and well kept. Although we did pay for the breakfast as part of the hotel price, we were never actually up early enough to eat it so we cant give our opinion on that aspect! Food from their lunch time menu was gorgeous and you probably couldn't find it cheaper anywhere near by!

The resort itself is beautiful, the beach is a few minutes walk from the hotel, there are cheap day trips available from kiosks beside the hotel to the water parks and marine-land etc. The hotel is about 5-8 minutes walk from the night life of Santa Ponsa which is great because seeing as a lot of the bars don't close until 6, you're away from the noise of the main street so you can get a decent night's sleep! We recommend this hotel without doubt!


Restaurants-wise, we would recommend the Japanese restaurant just facing the hotel towards th beach and the Chinese above Dicey Reilly's in the main street. For young and lively bars, we recommend Strings, Daniels Corner or The Irish Tavern to start you off, and then Green Hills, Bar Code 7 and Fama for the foam party for a really good night in Santa Ponsa!! Oh and BCM in Magaluf too!
