HOTEL REVIEW: Globales Santa Lucia, Palmanova, Mallorca, Spain

In this video, I launch my new series of "Real Hotel Reviews" in Mallorca, starting with a hotel review at the Globales Santa Lucia, Palmanova, Mallorca, Spain.

I talk to guests about their experiences, and what they liked and disliked about the hotel, highlighting their best and worst experiences.

I hope this is a balanced review and maybe it'll help the hotel improve the experience for future guests.

Please contact me if you would like to appear in this video or if you have something to say about the hotel where you are staying on:

I will be out and about filming around the island in September and October in the main resorts so I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks for sharing Alex. Sunbeds by pools are a bone of contention in most hotels in many countries. It’s not so bad if folks stay on them all day apart from going to the hotel restaurant, to have a swim in pool, or to use the cloakrooms. What I hate is when they get reserved first thing and no one appears until later in the afternoon having been off on trips. 🐸🐸🐸🐸

Our first time with TUI (normally go Jet2).
We’re just back from Globales Santa Lucia, lovely hotel, but we won’t be back!
There are lots of signs saying no hogging sun loungers, but queues start around 06:45 waiting for the doors to open at 08:00, they put their towels on the loungers and many then take a walk into town.
The hotel staff don’t police it!
We ended up paying 20€ per day at the beach.
Back to Adeje with Jet2 for us.

Went to the Santa Lucia last year and it was a good hotel in a great location. This year for a change went to the Riu Nautilus in Torremolinos. Costa del Sol, what a surprise, everywhere was the busiest we have seen in 40 years. 2 beach sunbeds ( with thick foam mattress) and parasol for €14, drinks, meals, transport, all better value than Majorca. We’ve been going to Majorca, as well as other places since the mid 1980s and will still vary where we go but if they’re trying to reduce tourist numbers in Majorca they’re doing a great job.

Sol palmanova was my first abroad holidays and it was absolutely lovely! We absolutely loved palmanova that much we decided to come back on the 9th October. This time we are trying Agua beach hotel.

That’s a fantastic video Alex! Such a good idea to meet up with holiday makers to get their real life opinions.

I have great memories of the Son Matias hotel, we used to go there with my Mum who loved it because everything was at hand & the views from the balconies are just amazing. We were there getting on for 20 times & always enjoyed it.

I’ve always stayed in the Globales mimosa park everytime I’ve been to Palma nova but my next visit we opted to try the Melia sol palmanova to see what it’s like. The reviews and videos I’ve seen tells me it’s a fantastic hotel. Could you do a video on the hotel please ? We are visiting in may 2025 🏖️

Great video Alex thank you i would hate the sunbed situation there

[georgemartin]

Looking forward to your new series Alex, it will be a great reference for people visiting and wondering where to stay .
Some of the review sites are dubious to say the least .

Was great to meet you outside the hotel Alex

We stayed here in June this year and stayed in a superior room so had roof top pool access. We loved every bit of this place always had our food outside so had that amazing view. Food was very good never had an issue with the food

Stayed there a few times in the late 90s/early 2000s and loved it. One time I even bumped into somebody there who I used to work with!

Great idea . Thanks for the video lovely

Anyone thinking of going to the Globales Santa Lucia hotel, please check the trip adviser ratings. The food in this hotel is a big letdown. I have stayed here and would not return because of the terrible food. The staff are lovely, but please check out reviews before you book.

SO, I've been here... for a week way back in 1986, with my lovely Mrs. and our children. The hotel was great then, and doesn't look too shabby now. I note that it is adults-only and they've amended the name from 'Hotel Santa Lucia'. I'd like to see you go in the public reception area. It would give more of an overall impression about the hotel.

Iroko does THE BEST cocktails, the most incredible Japanese/ Asian food- seriously like a high end London place. Very trendy and live music and DJs most nights x

[nigelcotter]

we have just returned yesterday in my opinion you get what you pay for 😊
