Santa Barbara Golf and Ocean Club

“ A wonderful hotel, which is as relaxing to stay at as it was intregueing navagating it's unique Crystal Maze-esqe layout.
Attentative, friendly staff and the food on offer amazing to eat.
The sparkling apartment (and further more the hotel) contained everything you could need to live there (!) and our room had a fantastic view of the unique, white-washed structure and the vast, uninterrupted ocean.

“ Top Tip: Not much to do in close proximity to the hotel, yet it is easy enough to convince yourself to laze the day away in the complex !
If you can't face the caotic pool area during the day, just plant yourself on the sun- drenched terrace above.
Also the English breakfast at the pool bar was a winner... Just what we needed to face the flight home !

“ We stayed here for 1 week with our 4 children aged between 11 - 3, and found enough to entertain each one. The rooms were nice and comfy and we found it great having a dvd player to entertain the little ones whilst getting ready. The entertainment team were really good with the kids and put on a couple of good shows. The onsite food was excellent and good value for money. Staff were always very helpfull and polite.
The only downside to this hotel is the lack of poolside sunbeds, there is nowhere near enough for the size of the hotel. And the childrens pool had about 12 sunbeds which were taken first thing in the morning, also the deep drop into the kids pool is not very good especially for toddlers. We preferred the large pool where our little ones could play on the steps.
All in all we had a lovely holiday and cant wait to return again.

“ Top Tip: You must try The Mill Restaurant and the Pizzeria Golf Italian just a short walk from the accommadation, very friendly and reasonable priced food. And you also get a better exchange rate at the little shops in San Blas for pounds to euros.

“ This was my 8th stay and the complex is always clean and tidy. Staff friendly and efficient . Wasn't happy with the first oom allocated as no alcony but resolved on second day.
A lot of work going on and supermarket shut for refurbishment . Neither a problem but it would have been nice to know in advance.

“ Top Tip: Tapas bar on the way to San blas really good. Little Italy restaurant on site also good value. Very good grilled sole and fillet steak.

“ This was our 3rd visit to this hotel, and again we found it to be fantastic. It is a beautiful, smart and well kept apartment complex, with two lovely pools (one shallower for kids) and lots of sunbeds. We have a two and a half year old and find the apartments to be a home from home. Flat screen tvs, DVD player, fully equipped kitchen (everything you could need! Cups, mugs, wine glasses, coffee machine, microwave, fridge/freezer, toaster, kettle, Pyrex dishes, saucepans, dishwasher, decent knives, food blender (perfect for making baby food!) the list could go on...). Good sized balcony with clothes line and patio furniture, air conditioning. This is an ideal hotel for anyone of any age who likes a comfortable place to stay if looking for a quieter, more relaxing resort. I am sure our family will be coming here many more times!

“ Top Tip: Bar verde in San blas (15-20 min walk along the coast) does a great breakfast and serves lovely lavazza coffee.
