We reserve an all inclusive large doubleroom. The room was very large and the view from the balcony was beautiful. The food was varied and very good and the staf was ok. The only thing I didn`t like was the distance from the hotel to the beach, but if you like a quiet hotel this is the place. more

I booked a superior room - can't miss with that, you get one of the good rooms for sure. and the 30 euros extra ( that was the extra value for our 5 nights ) are totally worth it. We had a wonderful room at the 5th floor - sea view, 2 bathrooms, huge space. The food is very good... more

I have been there on 23 - 30 Aug.08 and i was pretty satisfied. The room was pretty ok but very old furniture and for me and my husband the two beds were rather uncomfortable, we would have preferred a one bed. The food was enough and variate, but not very tasty...but i liked the fruits the sweets and salads.... more

We stayed in this hotel July last year when it was known as the Viva. We did not know what to expect due to the last minute booking and the cheap price we paid (£680 for 2 all inclusive 7 nights) We arrived at about 1am and were greeted by friendly staff and a glass of wine while we waited... more

I know it was the last week of the season but I do not think that is an excuse for this hotel .the reception staff were o.k. and the room was clean and spacious the bed was comfortable.The walk to the beach was only 10 mins and not too bad during the day,after dark it was a constant hassle (and... more

I have just arrived from Golden Sands after spending a week in this great location. Regarding the hotel I have nothing bad to say, it's good quality for the money. Two minor issues with it: bathtubs are high so watch out old folks, it might be hard for you! The second thing is that while taking the sunbath you have... more

A bad journey, no parking places, no warm air in the room and no personnel to solve it. Poor qualification of the entire staff, most of them do not understand and do not speak a foreign language. more

Although rated 4 star by official/tour operators it was more of a 3 star in comparison with the standard of Balearic island hotels, this appears to be a constant comment by many people, so knock off a star. Position - Just off the south end of bar street, and a short walk 300m to the beach down a slight hill.... more

Me and my husband stayed in the Viva for our anniversary. The hotel is gorgeous and we enjoyed our stay. We upgraded our room through the travel agent and we would throughly advise doing this, as we had a queen sized bed, pull out sofa, TWO bathrooms (yes 2) and a huge balcony. The major problems we had with the... more
