Valentin Son Bou

Went here with some friends recently. The good: The entertainment team are great and so so friendly. The absolute gem of the hotel. The service during the day is fast and friendly. In the evening it gets much harder to get a drink. The staff were run ragged trying to take and deliver orders. The drinks were great with the all inclusive plus. Branded everything. The cocktails are fantastic for a 4* The hotel is very clean. The pool is a very nice area with lots of sun loungers. Still get people putting towels out early though which I still think all hotels should be hotter on. The poolside cafe has some reasonable food available. The best food in the hotel for sure. The Bad: The rooms are dated. They need a little spruce. You can’t jump in the pool. This seems a little too tight for me. The smokers area is a car park area. Feel like they could accommodate a slightly nicer area. There’s an incredibly unfriendly security guard at night that marches about. The Ugly: The food is bad. Finding something that’s edible in the buffet was difficult in multiple nights. The flies are everywhere and they do not do enough to combat it.

Had a week away with some friends here. The hotel is kept very tidy and neat, rooms are tired so and in need of some renovations. The hotels activity staff are very good fun, high energy and really liven up the pool area. All staff were attentive and friendly throughout. Shuttle bus into town thought the day with a break between around 1-4. Food was a solid 3/10. Realisticly about as good as you'll get for this price of all inclusive, a theme for each night accompany by the usual buffet items. Again breakfast had plenty of variety. Food from the pool bar was a nice addition on the premium all included. Burgers, pizza, tapas, etc served 10-6.

My husband and I took my mother, 85 with memory and mobility issues to this resort and It was the perfect holiday. The staff were wonderful, the buffets work well for my mother who could choose exactly what she wanted to eat, we loved the fun pool entertainment and the shows in the evening. We had two upgraded rooms on the second floor, accessible with lifts in the main building. The rooms were spacious and had a large bathroom with walk in shower that was ideal. I'm writing this review as finding a place to go with elderly parent/s can be tricky and Valentin Son Bou ticked all the boxes for us. I would recommend this resort as long as the room has been upgraded, the old rooms are just that old.

We stayed here for three full weeks—our second consecutive year—and had a fantastic vacation. We chose this hotel for its quiet, airy location, the quality of the food (which was always fresh and varied), and other perks like the spacious parking and the shuttle bus to the beach—both of which are free. The entire staff is incredibly professional, kind, and attentive to guests' needs; special mention goes to the General Manager, his assistant, and Chef Giorgio.

Thank you to everyone at the hotel, our return visit, can’t fault this hotel, staff training must be top class, as every member of staff go out of their way to make you welcome. Special mention to Ana in the bar so lovely. Also Francesca on reception, we loved our stay and can’t wait to return again. Book this hotel you won’t regret it. Nearly all guests we spoke to were on return visits, one lady on her 20th visit ! All hotels should be like yours. Thank you.
