Globales Santa Lucia

We went to this Hotel to celebrate our 25th Wedding Anniversary. I have passed this hotel on many occasions when staying in Palma Nova and thought one day. I was so pleased with all the facilities that we used. The food was nice and plentiful if you needed more and the staff were very friendly especially the entertainment team. I was pleased with the room very clean and the view was stunning with the calming sea. Yes we had to get up and queue to get a sunbed but I have always had to do this on any of my holidays but it wasn't a mad dash or race to get a bed just a nice stroll to a bed. Probably because it was an adult only and no screaming kids to annoy you. We did not go to the roof top terrace as i thought this was a lot of money for what you got. The outside snack bar was great as they cooked your food to order which was fresh and hot. They provided Smirnoff vodka and not local but had to pay for original Malibu which is the only drink I like but was still happy with what they could offer. The location is perfect for shops a walk away to the nightlife and a stones throw to a good local bar if you needed a change of scenery, the entertainment they got in was ok and the bingo was good fun as well. Definitely would go back.

Checking in was very quick even though it was lunchtime. We took our bags upstairs our room was 402. There were no sunbeds or chairs available in the sun so we sat near the outside bar. Although this is classed as an All Inclusive hotel it is really a full board hotel as meals are only served 7.30-10.30am, 13.00 -15.00pm and 18.00 - 21.00pm. The only other snacks available are cakes and pastries which are placed on the outside bar area late in the afternoon.We noticed that during the afternoon when people had finished sun bathing and wanted to sit near the outside bar and have a drink there were only one bar staff on and one day we counted 22 people all waiting to be served. Everything is served in the same place so when people wanted coffee or tea this made the queue even longer. The next morning my husband was awake early and went for a walk. On his return people were already people waiting for the doors to the pool to open for the sun beds. Although I really do not agree with this it is the only way we got a sunbed each day. I do not think that the pool area is big enough for the amount of people in the hotel. The sun terraces do help but people should not be allowed to reserve sunbeds and not use them! We have stayed in numerous hotels and although this was classed as a 4* I do not really understand why. On a positive note the food was good and the restaurant staff very friendly. The evening bar staff were very efficient but again there were queues at times.

We stayed for one week all inclusive. We found the food an drinks throughout the day just what we needed. Lots of choice. The room was tastefully decorated and the sea view was a bonus. A well positioned hotel for a relaxing holiday with small local shops across the road. Easy walking distance to busier areas if that is what you want. Close to the bus stops for visits to Palma.
