Santa Catalina, a Royal Hideaway Hotel

Mar Free

The hotel is set in a beautiful garden setting which creates a relaxing and quiet atmosphere. It is, however, a bit away the tourist areas. The staff, housekeeping, restaurants, and facilities, are very good. All requests are looked after promptly. A special thank you to the reception personnel; with a stellar young lady, Sara, who went out of her way to provide us excellent accommodation.

This is a fabulous hotel. So tasteful and timeless. Every staff member we interacted with was kind and helpful. It’s beautiful and large and clean. Lots of rooms and spaces to explore. The pools are beautiful and rooftop too. Our room is so comfortable and completely blackout dark. We really really liked our stay here and would recommend to anyone. Be aware that it’s quite refined - we did feel pretty awkward entering in our hiking/beach clothes.

This hotel is absolutely fantastic. It combines history and modernity in an unparalleled fashion. The staff is professional yet still approachable. Finding this balance I have seen rarely executed so well. The facilities are stunning, the breakfast very wholesome. Full recommendation.

We are just back from our second stay at Hotel Santa Catalina and it was 10/10 again – I really love this hotel. It is the most beautiful historical building up a grand drive, lined with palm trees with green parrots nesting in them, which has been beautifully restored to preserve its amazing architecture and decorative features whilst also having all the modern comforts you might expect in a luxury hotel. It all feels very luxurious and 5* but at a very reasonable rate for what you get. There is a rooftop pool with amazing views, as well as a large outdoor pool with excellent pool service, as well as a gym and thermae spa. Breakfast on the terrace is fabulous – an enormous breakfast buffet with everything you could possibly want, beautifully presented. We had a deluxe superior room which was spacious, large balcony, with bath, shower and double sink – we slept incredibly well as it had an enormous super comfy bed, as well as being very quiet and dark at night (well sound proofed with black out blinds). The staff are wonderful, and we look forward to staying again. I would happily spend all day at the hotel but there is a great city beach – again good value 9 euro for sunbeds & umbrella for the day for 2 people as well as a beautiful old town to visit. The hotel is halfway between these but there are plentiful buses for a euro or taxis for 5 euro.

Ideally situated in a beautiful park. Beautiful rooms and very well kept. Staff are attentive but not obtrusive. We enjoyed 2 weeks at Christmas. 20 minutes walk to the right you get to the old town. 20 minutes to the left and you get to the port and various attractions.
