We booked very last minute to stay here with flyglobespan flying from aberdeen, and it was under £400 for the pair of us including transfers and breakfast , so we weren't expecting anything fantastic.
The Golf Beach is a basic small hotel but has all the things you need on a cheap sunshine break. It is situated a very small walk (couple of minutes) from the main hustle and bustle, I always think this is great as there's nothing worse than too much noise! We arrived early evening and were greeted by one of the two males who run the hotel. Seemed pleasant enough, gave us our room keys and took a small sum for use of the safety deposit boxes. We had room 202, second floor facing the front, I would recommend these front rooms as the balconies are MASSIVE and are great for people watching in the evening. The rooms are small but you can manage if you keep tidy! Pillows are sore(!) and sheets a pain but I suppose in July/August they would be fine. Bathroom is again small, but the showers are fantastic, total power showers!
I can't comment on breakfast as its only served until 9am, the middle of the night for us up drinking into the early hours. Didn't eat at the hotel, typical toastie and burger menu - not for me. Drinks were fine though and reasonably priced.
The pool area to the rear of the property was adequate when we were there (April) sometimes we were the only 2 people there! Pool was way too cold for us to go near, although there was people brave enough to go in but for no longer than 30 seconds. Pool area could be doing with being cleaned every morning, there is a bit of an ant problem.
Santa Ponsa is a lovely clean resort with a huge population of scottish and irish, making it a bloody good laugh too! I would recommend you take the bus to Palma city for the day, if only to see how the other half live on their yachts. TIP don't go down the main bus station from the hotel as the buses are often full and you have to wait ages, come out the hotel, turn right, cross the road and walk 2 minutes up the way. The busses stop here first before going to the main busstop! 2 euros 65 get you to Palma.
Also the chinese buffett across from the hotel is great value for money and the food is good (especially the soups!)
