Used to stay here regularly maybe 6 years plus years ago and loved it. Food was great. The rooms were very big so can only think that this one in the video is a single maybe with an extra bed if it was a busy time.
Maybe they have made the rooms smaller now to accommodate more guests? Not sure.
We stayed at the Santa Lucia 48 years ago. It was our first family trip abroad and we loved it. It was January so the indoor pool was useful. Thanks for your vlogs. This one brought back lots of lovely memories.
Oh wow 48 years ago! Glad it bought back some lovely memories! 😍
My parents stayed several times at the Santa Lucia over 20 years ago when they were in their 70s... looking at this, the hotel has been significantly upgraded and refurbished since then as it was a fairly simple budget hotel and pretty cheap for half board. One year they did a cruise and stay with TUI...one week around the western med and one week half board in the Santa Lucia. They loved it. In those days only £450 per person total price.
Oh really! Wow wish it still was that price! 🤣
Thats cool, I went there every year from around 92 to 98 in July for 2 weeks as a nipper (now 37) and I loved it, loads of day time activities like rifle shooting, darts, pool games and evening disco before some very good entertainment. I was always under the impression it was quite pricey even then. Believe it was 4* then, we always flew with britannia back then. Obviously the biggest change I've noticed is that it's now adults only as there was always loads of other kids to make friends with and felt like a 2nd home abroad as I did see some year after year. I'd love to go back to have a look around the area again. David x
Nice video we stayed not far from this hotel at the Son matias beach hotel which was amazing with fantastic views also, a very good area as you said for literally everything including the Mr Whippy Ice cream Kiosk!! I hope cashless hotels are not now the norm in Majorca as we have just purchased all our Euros for a trip coming up to Cala Bona!! I would like this to be included in our booking info if it is the case so we are prepared for it. looking forward to watching your other videos.
I would just like to say good choice in The Son Matias Beach Hotel. I also stay there. Used to stay at the Santa Lucia Hotel, but the food there now is terrible. Really bad.
Thanks Paul and Carole for this honest review..Used to visit this hotel on an evening for its great entertainment back in 1981,and had a good look round it too,since then,I've always said if I ever go back to that area of Mallorca,I would definitely stay there.Agree the hotel room with open plan wardrobe space is not ideal,but not enough to put me off staying there.
Oh wow 1981! The entertainment was certainly popular with the bar being full all the nights we were there!
Great video thanks, recently stayed there, loved the location and bar prices. We had a standard sea view so was not allowed to use the rooftop pool as that was just for superior room customers only. Also our room had an interconnecting door and was very noisy, we could hear our neighbours conversations. The sunbeds in the main pool are so old, worn and sag onto the metal bar so are very uncomfortable. We had a great holiday but wouldn’t stay there again.
Thanks for the update Julie! Good to know!
We have just got back from 11 nights in Skiathos. Are tourist tax was €33 , free safe and air con , fridge slightly bigger than yours. But the drinks omg €10-50 for an Apparel Spritz. (I’d not long paid £10 for a bottle in Sainsbury’s with my nector card) € 9-50 rum and Coke , €5 local beer. Everywhere going up In Europe I’m afraid. About 15 years ago popped in that hotel to us the loo it’s definitely had a make over since then looked quite nice and It is in a fantastic setting.
Wow that is expensive! Did you enjoy Skiathos? As always wanted to go there!
Hey folks - Glen from Ant & Glen - always a pleasure watching you both! Loved the detail in this review, someone can really make a decision on whether or not to stay there based on your video, so great job. Sorry I missed you in Vegas, hope we can meet up in the near future
Thanks! Watched your Vegas videos yesterday. You had me LOL when you had your grumpy face on, you are so much like Paul! 🤣🤣 No problem, yes it would be great to catch up sometime!
I stayed here 15 years ago, looks like it has improved immeasurably, thank you for this comprehensive review.
Oh really, guess it's changed a lot!
Right Then! Enjoy your cruise!😀
Thanks it was great! We did it before our hotel stay! 😃
Maybe take the shelves out the fridge?
Lol why didn't we think of that! 🤣🤣🤣
The start of this video absolutely cracked me up! This hotel looks lovely - I reckon I could lose myself for hours up on that sun terrace. I remember following along with this trip on Instagram - my first ever 'boys holiday' after finishing school was to Magaluf, so think I'd probably get some PTSD flashbacks staying here...!!
LOL where I nearly fell through the crack in the bed! Ooooh best that was an interesting trip and sure you would not of seen much daylight! 😂😂
We are staying here after our cruise as well! Thanks so much for letting us know what it is like! Xx
No problem! Have a great time!
We are going in august and have booked the superior room , and as far as im aware , the superior rooms only have access to the roof top pool, thanks for the vlog , the last time i stayed there was about 40 years ago looking forward to it .
You are welcome! Yes that is the case. have a fabulous time!
Thank you guys x
It looks a beautiful place lovely room thanks for sharing
We were really surprised how nice it was as you never know what you are going to get but we would definitely go back!
Can see been upgraded with revamps. So see you soon. X
Thank you for the video. We are very interested in staying at this hotel, we have walked past it a few times while visiting Palma Nova. Just one question. Can you remember if the bath/shower screen is fixed or can open? Only asking as have trouble getting into the bath for a shower if the screen is fixed. Cheers.
We’ve just watched the video back and we genuinely can’t remember, sorry.
Out of curiosity which hotel would you recommend, santa lucia or son matias? Have you looked at son.matias ?
We haven't stayed at Son Matias so can't say, though from lots of comments here looks a popular choice!
I love your videos. We’re doing a week on voyager followed by 4 days at the Santa Lucia in a few weeks and watching your videos has got us so excited! Thank you so much for your honest reviews and useful info and tips you’re stars ❤
Aw thanks, we aim to please 😊😊
Looks like a great place to stay! Never been to Palma but will have to keep this place in mind!
It was!
thanks, were looking to booking here :D
Your welcome! 😍
Amazing prices!
Yes good to see!
Came to see the hotel I'm staying at in April, stayed because you two are brilliant :)
Oh fab, have a great stay!
Hi we stayed there for two weeks it was lovely great hotel we will definitely be back next year
It is a great hotel! 😀
Hello we stayed there for two weeks last May lovely hotel will definitely be back this year
Oh good to know! We would definitely go back too!
That looks a fab hotel and room! One deck down sounds good! 😊
It was great! Lol yes definitely one deck down would be our choice next time!
@Paul and Carole Love to Travel I think that was great bar prices too. Been in Santa Ponsa and Ibiza this year and the hotel and street bars were more expensive than that ! 😂
Yes the bar prices were brilliant!
Stayed many times, to get access to the infinity pool you have to pay for a superior room it’s not available to the whole hotel
Yes realise that now, how much is the access?
I remember the second year it was open my daughter paid 80€, not sure if that was p/p or room, so all superior rooms are on the 8th floor and you can only access that pool area if your superior, I don’t think you can just ask for superior rooms now, we tried 2 years ago and wasn’t any left and I’m sure you have to book through TUI, it is relatively new area maybe 5 years or so and I remember if booked early they offered free upgrade, but hotel has always had the cruise guests and maybe they save for them, there called superior rooms because if I remember right the top floor rooms were refurbished before the rest of the hotel which was later refurbished and I’m sure there all the same kind of spec now, we’ve had 6 years there and loved it no issues at all.
@@nanganang7766 Ok thanks for the info!
Yes that's right, was never told this when we went to book few years ago, doesn't even tell you in holiday brochure.
@@nanganang7766 I'm staying here next year and having been abroad for 10 years. Any tips/ recommendations with regards to this hotel/ Palma Nova ?
Aww wow I cant wait for our trip next year now 🤗🤗 cant believe how cheap the drinks are 😮 we are all inclusive so hopefully the cocktails will be included 👍 if not then don’t mind paying those prices! 😂🍹 thanks for another fantastic vlog xx
Your welcome! We couldn't believe the prices, hopefully they will not go up to much by next year!
Thanks Paul and Carole this helped a lot! I hope you enjoyed your holiday there
Thanks we did!
Is it card only for everything in the hotel thanks
Yes except for the safe!
I find that very strange that the safe is paid for in cash! If there cashless..who's profiting from that?
Love this hotel. Been several times. X
It worked for us!
Hello we stayed there for two weeks and we loved every minute of it a lovely hotel will definitely be back
We would happily go back too! 😍
Hope don’t mind us asking you but love the videos. When you stayed at hotel was the food ok in the evening as read many reviews and lots of it’s cold and not cooked properly. Love to hear what you thought many thanks Steve & Josie
We didn't have any issues with food during our stay. So not sure if things have changed since!
Thanks for the reply. We have a superior room so able to use the roof top pool . Rest of the hotel always looks good . Let’s hope by the time we go they have sorted the issue so many have complained about on trip advisor. Once again thanks for your reply hope you are both well keep doing those videos 😀👍
@StephenHobson-ks5qo You are welcome! Have a great time!
stayed at Lucia many times over the years, last holiday there was 2019 when it was AI the hotel was good but i felt is was about money money money .booked in at reception handed over 100 euro for 2 weeks safe, ,hotel tax . after paying a lot of money to go there. its in a prime location never got to see the roof pool as it was an extra premium to be paid
Oh interesting that you used to have to pay extra for the roof top pool, it was free access when we were there! Agree with the safe, you shouldn't have to pay for that!
Aww can't wait going there in September 24 with my freind first time abroad for me
Oh exciting! Have a great time!
I love you're accents
Oh thank you!
hi paul and carole . hope your well . may i ask if its an adult only hotel why does it have a bit of swimming pool for kids . thanks
Lol not sure! 🤣 Just a shallow end to the pool!
Hello the Santa Lucia Hotel used to let children stay, but changed a few years ago to adults only. That is why pool for kids. They just have not changed it.
Well, how lovely was that!!!! That was ver informative abd helpful, thank you both.
I might actually book that hotel
Glad you enjoyed it, it is a good choice 😊
Are the sunbeds all on top of each other looks very non spacious
It wasn't too bad!
The Santa Lucia Hotel has gone downhill drastically. The food is the bigest problem.Last time I went food was so bad that I will never go back. I now stay at the Son Matias beach hotel. And it is spot on.
Oh shame to hear that!
Just back from a week all inclusive here. Will not be back, and my party were not alone in our complaints. Spent more time across the road in Three Brothers Bar, the all inclusive drinks selection was THE WORST I've ever encountered. Food also very average. Location is great though.
Oh really, that's a shame, we were half board.
Wow how uncanny just about to book this
😍
In AMERICA we call it the bathroom sink!!!!
Yes that's what we have always called it!
Stopping in September for 10 days all inclusive 😊
Oh fabulous enjoy!
GOOD LUCK WITH THAT. FOOD TERRIBLE.
Thanks for another brilliant hotel review and room tour Paul and Carole 🤩 What an amazing view from that balcony!
It looks like a great pre-cruise stay location 😊 We see what you are saying about a longer stay though.
And those bar prices are crazy! 😍
It was great for what we needed. Those bar prices were crazy!
Stayed there all inclusive a few years back, lovely hotel in an excellent location but it was let down by a few self entitled older people who carried on something shocking. I wouldn't let that put me off though as it's a really good place to stay.
It is a great hotel. Shame about that!
charging for a safe, for me hotels shouldn't do it . 6 euros a day . i know its not much but its already in room .
Exactly totally agree!
Hi Paul and carole thanks for vlogs keep up the fab work. You both look fab and happy as always .dave xxx
Thanks Dave! ☺️
Tiny fridge!
Yes so small! Was like playing jenga everytime we opened the door!
