We’ve been staying at the Santa Barbara for many years, and have written about it before. It’s still a lovely place to stay if you want the freedom of an apartment and don’t want to be too close to the main resorts. Whilst the hotel isn’t your normal all-inclusive, the staff are excellent, and the hotel itself is situated right next to a beautiful rugged coastline. The area is quiet, but there are plenty of places to eat and some charming villages, such as Los Abrigos and El Medano. Highly recommended

Another lovely stay here staff are lovely

I’ve been to Santa Barbara before and returned because the team are super helpful, the accommodation is great value for money. The resort is kept super clean and you have everything you need nearby. The only thing I had a challenge with was that the aircon kept intermittently switching itself off so we had to keep resetting it. Apart from that fabulous all round and it didn’t spoil our holiday.

Amazing location , great apartment remodeled, spacious , with parking garage and near restaurants.

Very clean and people are really nice

Family room is very spacious. Features a sizeable kitchenette with everything you could need. Incredible views of the sea and overlooking the pool from the balcony. Great facilities (gym, laundrette and supermarket on site). Can’t fault this place!

Clean hotel, close to beach (NOT beach front), and right by bus a stop.

Close to ocean walk and restaurants and small town. You need a car to stay there.

Average 3* hotel. Upon arrival, there was a distasteful smell around the reception area. Staff at check in was very helpful but after subsequent interactions with the staff seemed quite dismissive and less welcoming which was a shame. Room was clean and basic amenities provided but no general waste bin bags available. We were only staying 3 nights so we would not buy bin bags. Also no room service since we were only staying 3 nights. View from room was average.

Lovely apartment lost a star as arrived late due to cancelled flight and no restaurants, bars or facilities for food, even vending machine didn’t work. Only there for a night

The experience in the hotel and soroundings was fantastic. Clean room, excelent customer service. I already recommend it to friends. Thank you to you all

It is an amazing place with warm and welcoming staff. Very clean with all the amenities inside the apartments. Totally recommend for all type of people for a safe stay.

Hotel room was great overlooking the ocean. The pool area seating was very crowded and busy every day. The restaurant was adequate - food good. Spa massage was not that great but OK. Great having a grocery store on site. Book exchange could have had a better selection in English!! Loved the proximity to the boardwalk.

We have been to Santa Barbara many times (we obviously like it) so knew what to expect. It is well located, the staff are friendly and helpful. The food and drink prices are reasonable albeit cheaper in local bars of which there are plenty. There’s a lovely beach walk to Los Abrigos where there is a fabulous fresh fish restaurant we would recommend. The bus stop is nearby with hourly services either way. There’s also several interesting golf courses. Being an aparthotel you can eat in if you want or to save money. We had breakfast in every day sitting on the balcony looking at the sea which was very pleasant.

Santa Barbara is a lovely accommodation in GDS. great location and close to lovely places to eat. The room and complex was ideal. Very good. I gave 4 stars but would have given 5 if I didn’t need to contact for th bed change/towel change as they kept missing our apartment out. However then did the change the next day and they apologised for missing us twice.

Stayed here once again after 30 years . Excellent value for money and quality of accommodation

I had such a fantastic time here for my 26th birthday I came on a solo trip. I stayed in one of the villas right by the sea and it was the most relaxing and beautiful place I’ve been to. Staff were very helpful and the self accommodation meant I could cook my own food

Gorgeous hotel, but beaches by hotel are quite rocky. Would rebook here.

The rooms were clean and a good size also the furniture was very nice. The restaurant in the evening was excellent. The staff were helpful and polite.

The kitchen was fully equipped and our room was clean and spacious. The staff wand pleasantas attentive
