Good place to stay, but a big divide between AI & HB.
Just returned from our 3rd stay at the Vik San Antonio this year. On the two previous occasions we went all inclusive, this time as we’re not big drinkers and rarely have a large lunch, decided to take the half board option. What we were unaware of was being on a half board basis we weren’t entitled to tea & coffee making facilities in the room and we would now be charged 11 euros for the use of the safe, I don’t know how much they were charging for the kettle but they asked 7 euros for two cups, we also didn’t get a complimentary bottled water, unlike previously stay. After some persuasion they did allow a free safe, kettle and two cups and a bottle of water. I did get the feeling we weren’t treated as well as we would have been, had we gone all inclusive. Disappointing really as they gave us a very nice suite room for the 5 days we were there. Overall it’s still a nice place to stay and the staff are all very pleasant, the entertainment each night is ok and the whole place is kept very clean. Still the usual gripes, Luke warm breakfast items, not sure the trays they have the food on are heated from below. Showers at times can be dangerous, due to the sudden temperature fluctuations and as the majority of clientele are getting on in years, the lack of grab handles in some bathrooms. The hotel is in a perfect location, but needs work in some areas.

A room with a view but not much else!
My partner and I stayed here for 10 days on a half board basis. We paid for a premium room in a priority location. Firstly, the sea view from our balcony was stunning and could well be the best on the island. Secondly, the pools were a very nice temperature in the hot weather and there were plenty of sunbeds. It goes downhill from there....the hotel is very dated, the landings where the lifts and stairs are have a distinct 70's feel going on....if you've already been, you'll know what I mean. I failed to see what made our room premium (except for the premium added onto the cost!) It was clean enough and comfortable but it was quite small and in need of an update. The fridge was tiny and not even cold. The food....oh dear! We ate in the restaurant on our first 3 evenings and both my partner and I became ill from the food. Myself on night one and him on night three. We each lost a full day of our holiday due to not being able to get out of bed with stomach upsets. The food is buffet style and every dish of what should have been hot food that we tried was barely warm. We paid to eat out for the last 7 days. There were extra charges for the safe and if you wanted a kettle you had to hire one. We paid our drinks bill on checkout and had been charged for a lot more than we had. Overall there are more negatives than positives. We would not stay there again....not even for that spectacular view.

Excellent holiday hotel.
We had stayed here a couple of times & on arrival at 9.30pm, we were tired & hungry. we were welcomed & efficiently booked in. We were directed to the restaurant which was serving until 10.30pm & our bags were taken away to our room.First class & friendly service! The hotel has been refurbished & is definitely 4 star. The room was large & clean. Nice sea view balcony & air-conditioned. There is a safe & fridge plus kettle, tea bags,coffee & milks The lighting is bright & good for reading. The television is modern flat screen & had six English channels. The bathroom had a good size walk-in shower & toiletries were provided. There is a hairdryer & magnifying mirror All in all, a cracking room. The food is excellent, with good variety. The staff are friendly,helpful & professional. This hotel has everything & is highly recommended for a nice, relaxing break.

Nice hotel not dated and was quiet at night
The hotel was good after looking at a lot of reviews about this hotel I was a little worried about our choice. But nothing to fear. Reception was helpful and polite we were AI and on the 4th floor room was nice tv has bbc1,2 itv ,chanel 4. For those who like a rest from the sun. Food was OK not great but OK. As someone has said its a card for receiving AI items that was a bit of a pain and as far as snacks go it wasn't clear what was included. If you want premium drinks you have to pay for them but the drinks that they offer we found no need to pay. The hotel is 3 minutes walk from the start of the main shops (strip) and on the flat. Entertainment was a hit and a miss but on most occasions it was a hit I would say better than most hotels we have visited. You get tea and coffee in the AI rooms with a kettle safe and fridge in the price. I think you have to pay extra for any of those services if you are not AI?. All and all we can't fault it
Great hotel, would def go again
We had a wonderful time at San Antonio. After reading reviews I was very worried about staying there with my husband and 15 year old but shouldn’t have been. Room was fab with sea view. Good water pressure, great hairdryer (great power), food was delicious (esp breakfast) and plentiful. Staff were very attentive and hotel exceptionally clean. Plenty of sun beds. Right on beach and close to strip. Would def go again…. Big shout out and recognition to Receptionist Martina and Tatiana who were very informative and helpful and of course, our waiter who spoilt us, Jianwei Li. Only reason it missed out on 5x stars was because the all inclusive wasn’t plentiful (poor drink/icecream selection and didn’t last all day. Having cards instead of wrist bands for rooms and AI was a nuisance . Evening entertainment was a bit boring and Tui support was crap (that’s Tui’s fault tho not hotel). All In all a great choice for us and a mix of ages (not many kids tho).
