A friend & I stayed here from 25 Aug to 1 Sep 2006.
Room was slightly smaller than average and there were no sea views, but the location more than made up for this - Es Pla is located only 5 minutes walk away from Es Paradis, Club Eden and the West End bars, clubs & restaraunts (and the taxi rank!). However, it was far enough away that you couldn't hear any noise and there was no problem getting some sleep at any time of day or night.
Room was in a good state of decorative order and a decent-size room safe was available (I just can't understand the stupid people who don't use room safes then complain when things go missing). The shower head kept coming off the wall, but that was the only problem we had. Maid did a good job of keeping the room clean throughout our stay.
The food was about average - hot food was a little tasteless but the salads were fine. Not a great selection, but chips were always available!
Hotel staff were friendly & helpful and were OK with us inviting friends up to the room. Most hotels in San An are VERY strict on this so we were very happy about that one.
Pool/patio area was nice and clean, but we didn't go there much.
The hotel is advertised as a 3-Star, but to be fair it was just a nice 2-Star. Since we only paid 2-Star rates for our stay here, this wasn't a problem to us.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Es Pla to anyone, as long as they bear in mind that it's really a 2-Star hotel and not 3-Star as advertised.
Good for couples & singles who want lots of action on their doorstep, while still wanting to be able to get some sleep now and again!
