I have just returned home from another lovely holiday at Santa Lucia, staying in room 310, have been returning to the hotel for the last 13 years. The hotel has wonderful views, overlooking two beaches, location could not be better. It is a lovely, pristine clean, hotel with lovely, helpful staff. The reception staff are lovely, special mention to Karen who, on walking into hotel, knew my name before I’d even checked in, made me feel special. The cleaners do an excellent job. The restaurant staff are also lovely with special mention to the maitre’d. also special mention to Miguel who is an asset to the hotel and it is sad that he is retiring this year, I will miss him. I always treat the staff with the utmost respect and see them as my little Spanish friends. The food is what you make of it. While I understand the reviews that have moaned about the food, I personally always found something to eat, breakfast is amazing and I’m so pleased to see that this year, the scrambled eggs were cooked more. The fried eggs and omelettes are cooked fresh, along with the pancakes, there is everything that anyone could want. A suggestion I would make is to have bottles of sauces on both sides of the buffet area as when you get the breakfast on the left side of the buffet you then have to walk round to the other side for he sauce, and maybe have sachets of sauces rather than bottles as there are still the selfish people that take the bottled sauces to their tables. The evening meals were good, especially enjoyed the American and Italian themed nights. However, please turn up the air conditioning as some nights it really was too hot in the restaurant. I never went round the pool this year as didn’t want to have to get up early to try to get a sunbed round the pool, so I went to the beach each day which is lovely and only a few minutes walk from the hotel on either side. My room was lovely and air conditioning was good. Cleaning good, I apologise for forgetting to put the “do not change bed linen” card on my bed which I forgot on multiple occasions. I look forward to returning to the hotel twice next year in May and September, returning to see my friends.
