Hotel Santo Tomas

“An excellent recommendation 😊”

In May of this year I had a chance encounter at Ciutadella Hospital (another story!) with a man who told me he was staying at Hotel Santo Tomas, he went there regularly and couldn't recommend it highly enough.

In May of this year I had a chance encounter at Ciutadella Hospital (another story!) with a man who told me he was staying at Hotel Santo Tomas, he went there regularly and couldn't recommend it highly enough. I decided to pop in and check it out and was so impressed by what I saw quickly booked a holiday there on our return to the UK. We had had a very difficult year and were looking for pure relaxation, which this hotel excels in. We received a lovely welcome on our arrival last week and refreshing drink and our superior sea view room close to reception was pointed out to us. What a gorgeous spacious room with an exceptional balcony and view! We had a topper put on our bed and it was very comfortable. The bathroom was also spacious and we very much welcomed the Green ethics in terms of toiletries that minimised plastics and towels only washed when on floor. The room was very well cleaned in a very thorough way. We love the relaxation areas in this hotel. In reception, by the bar area outside the restaurant, the terrace, around the pool and in the garden area. It was so comfortable and for the most part very peaceful. Unfortunately, for part of the week, there was a French family with about 4 children of school age left to run wild and scream around the pool all day and after dinner and the parents showed no respect for others at all and did nothing to stop them. We complained as did others. This is not a hotel for children, there are no facilities here for them. It is a hotel for relaxing. Thank you to the manager and staff who had a word with them. Moving on to nicer things, food!😊 The restaurant was excellent and with it's extensive offering, hard working staff and crisp table cloths, it felt like a proper restaurant, not a canteen. Great selection for breakfasts with an egg chef, cooking omelettes and pancakes and toasties! Lovely to see full cream, semi and skimmed options for milk. Lovely pastries. Dinner was also varied with Menorcan specialities, varieties of cheese and freshly cooked meat, fish and pasta. Lovely salad selection. Congratulations to the Maitre D' Juan Maron on his retirement. I can see he will be sorely missed. The bar was very good backed up by Malibu bar where you could sit and watch the sunset. Only 1 criticism here, the hotel bar opens at 3pm and Malibu does not serve freshly squeezed orange juice, so I had to wait until 3pm for the bar to open to get my juice. I had a relaxing massage while I was at the hotel, which was very nice apart from the loud ticking clock in the room, which is the last thing you want when relaxing. We chilled most days, dipped our feet in the sea in front of the hotel and hired a car from AutosMenorca for 1 day and visited the port at Mahon which was fantastic and very beautiful. So all in all we had a fabulous, peaceful holiday, thanks to this wonderful hotel, fabulous location, excellent friendly staff and the chance encounter at Ciutadella hospital that introduced us to this wonderful hotel in the first place. Thank you. Oh..and have I booked for next year? Of course I have 😊

“For Minorca in October”

Very friendly staff, beautiful surroundings- garden and pool are and also hotel rooms, very clean. Good breakfast and dinner. Evening entertainment was much better than in other hotels. We enjoyed the view from the hotel and also appreciated the beach bar serving food, lovely cocktails.

“Thank you Hotel Santó Tomàs!!”

We returned to the Hotel Santó Tomàs in September (our last visit was in August 2015) and we were still very impressed by this wonderful hotel. Thankfully in many ways the Hotel has not changed but there have been lovely improvements to the sunbathing areas and the pool. ALL of the staff were very friendly and helpful. It was great after 9 years to see several of the staff still at the hotel. The bartender Salva was always helpful, both in the daytime around the pool and in the evening in the Bar. The rooms and all areas were kept very clean. Best wishes to Juan Ramon on your retirement and good luck to Johanna on your promotion. Many thanks for a wonderful and restful holiday and we will see you next year.

As soon as we exited the bus a member of staff whisked our luggage to reception and then to our room after check in and showed us round our room, just what you need after 8 hours of travel. The room was spotless, nice comfortable beds and a fantastic sea and pool area view, Facilities in the room were all up to date coffee / tea making facility, hairdryer and safe. Washing and shower facilities were perfect, always plenty of hot water Outside pool area was immaculate with sunbeds which had plenty of space around them , not crammed in like some hotels. There is also a sunbed area set in lovely flowered gardens, so relaxing but I may add the actual pool was a bit cold for my liking Breakfast and evening meals were well catered for with a huge selection to cater for most tastes. Entertainment at night was varied, some I enjoyed, some I thought was just ok, but saying that none of the entertainers were bad, just not my type of music. Drinks and beverages are fairly priced, half the price compared to some hotels I have stayed in Now to the people who make it all happen, front of house reception, maintenance team, catering team, cleaning team and last but not least the service team, they are all so friendly and always greet you with a smile and you feel like they want you to have the best guest experience possible, nothing is to much trouble for them and they work so hard to achieve this, they are a credit to this hotel. If you are looking for a relaxing break, I would totally recommend this hotel
