Valentin Somni Hotel & Suites

My husband and myself came to this hotel on the 5th of May. I understand the guests that arrived the week before us, had a rather unsatisfactory experience. Whilst there are still some minor issues, we have in the main had a great time here. First the problems, the toilet roll holder fell off the wall. The shower can cause a mini flood, if not angled correctly (this can be trial and error). The rooms follow the modern design, which some find difficult, the toilet and shower are separate cubicles with frosted glass sides. This is fine for my husband and myself, but would find it off putting if I was sharing with a friend. The wardrobes are the open design, with only two drawers (we left underwear in our case, so it was fine). The room is light and bright, with attractive decor. There is a good mirror with light surround and socket nearby, making it easy to get ready for dinner. There is a good hairdryer in the room to. Most importantly the beds are very comfortable, with quality pillows. The hotel is in a quiet area, with the main ***** and beach a short walk away. A kettle and fridge are provided, which is very handy, but you have to source your own coffee, tea and milk. The staff have all been lovely, and we have felt very welcome and looked after. The pool area is nice and clean, with plenty of sunbeds. We have enjoyed the evening entertainment, and the quality and price of drinks is good. I have enjoyed some of the daily activities, provided by Victoria. All in all we have enjoyed our holiday, and have met lots of lovely people.

Visited opening weekend , builders still on site , lots of snagging and health and safety issues to resolve , suggest checking with tour operator before arrival. The toilet cubicle and show cubicle won’t be to everyone’s liking, plus our shower leaked all over the floor … no gym or sauna available, no coffee making facilities other than a kettle and cups …. No complementary water as you would expect in a deluxe room? Food good quality and selection , struggle to replenish when busy , and table service struggled with drinks and clearing tables …. Roof top terrace furniture covered in dust and not cleaned properly during our stay …. Lots of exposed wiring and trip hazards …. Pity it was not completed before opening , they have lots to do in coming weeks to achieve the standards they are aiming for.

The hotel is not finished - it is under construction. I don’t doubt that it will look beautiful when it is complete but please check on the status of the renovations before you book! Lots of brick dust / noise / unfinished fixtures and fittings, wires trailing, people painting etc. We were only here for a few days so to move would have been very impractical. Other frustrations included not having the room cleaned daily, I had to go to reception and ask for clean towels/glasses to be brought up. Tea and coffee facilities were provided in the room but no actual tea and coffee. The food was not to our liking but as it wasn’t a huge expense to stay half board we didn’t find a problem with going out to eat. The rooms do not have a separate bathroom, just a toilet and a shower in glass cubicles within the room, which was fine for us but if you require more privacy this is something to bear in mind as there is none. If we were staying for longer we would have upgraded to a larger room as it’s not enough space for us, especially with 2 sets of luggage to store too. Positives - It is in a quiet location, but very centrally situated. The roof terrace area is very peaceful with plenty of places to sunbathe, the lobby is decorated beautifully and the majority of the staff are very friendly and helpful. Paguera is beautiful and I would return - but not to this hotel sadly.

WARNING - hotel is NOT ready for guests!! Newly renovated isn't correct - very much under construction. Arrived yesterday to half open hotel, pool wasn't open, builders everywhere, no facilities open (gym, sauna etc still a long way off being ready, apparently haven't even started on the gym yet!) Roof bar not open, no entertainment, water running through the light fittings at breakfast this morning. Needless to say we have now moved but please do not go here in May, save yourself the heartache and distress that we have endured on our first two days. A weeks holiday has now been shortened to five days and started with a huge amount of distress. The hotel will be beautiful i'm sure but wait till it is ready for guests. It is a disgrace that they are taking people in when it is so far from being complete. All guests on arrival were complaining and trying to get moved. So sad!
