Iberostar Selection Jardín del Sol Suites

Barry Byrne

Came on our honeymoon and this hotel was perfect. Location was fantastic with great views of the bay. Had the pool which was never crowded, the sea was great and had paddle boards if you wished. The food was great and changed every day so never felt the need to eat elsewhere. We were given option to upgrade and were so happy we didn’t. The service around the pool was fantastic, always someone walking past but not intrusive. We did all inclusive and had plenty of options. Would highly recommend.

My wife and I had a thoroughly enjoyable experience at the Iberostar, Jardin de Sol Suites. Our room was very comfortable with a splendid view. The buffet food was amazing from the point of view of range, quality and taste. It took us some time to choose from a mouth watering assortment of dishes, many of which were cooked in our presence. The view across the bay provided a splendid backdrop to each meal. There were three pools and we thoroughly enjoyed our bathing experience. The evening and other activities were very good. We enjoyed in particular the tribute to Queen concert, the Cocktail masterclass, the healthy cooking session and the guided tour to Peguera with Carolina who was an excellent Activities leader. Another highlight was the Japanese evening when we were treated to a magnificent Japanese meal. All the staff at the hotel were excellent. They were friendly, cheerful and very helpful. It was as though everyone was determined to ensure that we had a wonderful experience. The people on Reception were particularly helpful as was the lady who cleaned our room whose name I believe is Faith. Thank you all.

This is a beautiful hotel in a gorgeous setting. Check in was rather long winded and not particularly welcoming after a long journey. Our room was large and airy with a sofa, easy chair and super king bed. Wardrobe and free safe, coffee machine and small fridge. It had a bubble bath and washbasin right in the room, no privacy. A balcony with a fabulous sea view - in fact everywhere in the hotel has views to die for. The food was excellent for us but one of our group is vegetarian and found there was not much choice of main courses at dinner, plenty of vegetables but no real vegetarian mains. The hotel is right on the seafront but not on a beach. The nearest beach is about a 20 minute walk. There is a rocky cove below the hotel where you can swim but getting down there is not for the faint hearted. I had booked star prestige which included access to two extra pools one of which was heated. All drinks and snacks are signed for and every single time they ask for a tip. American guests may be used to this but it's unusual in Europe. I am very happy to tip for good service but not for every interaction with staff multiple times a day. Unfortunately the resort of Santa Ponsa is not very nice and for that reason alone I wouldn’t return.

Very glad we decided to stay here for a week as the hotel ticks a lot of boxes - the staff are all lovely and made us feel welcome and valued from arrival and throughout. We asked to move rooms due to an obstructed view and it was resolved straight away without any issue. The pool area is excellent with gorgeous views, just make sure you get down at around 7.30am if you want to reserve a prime spot for sunbathing! Breakfast is vast and good quality; as was dinner at the buffet on the one night we ate there. Rooms are spacious and well-cleaned. Location is good in that it’s quiet and private, however, Santa Ponsa is very touristy and boozy. Take the walk down to the main beach along the coast rather than on the roads as it’s a much nicer experience. Eat and drink on the roundabout where the bus and taxi stops are for the nicest atmosphere.
