호텔 세스 55 산토 토마스(Seth 55 Santo Tomas)

Third visit to the 55 and I really don't want to give this rating as previous visits have been 5*. Unfortunately our week was spoilt by groups that were there. These were walking groups, who disappeared after breakfast but boy did you know when they returned mid afternoon. The pool was noisy with them all talking in big groups and basically being a nuisance. One afternoon they descended on the childrens pool area with glasses and bottles then just left them when they went. An accident waiting to happen for the babies if anything had got broken.They took over the bar area on a night, you struggled to get served if you were a couple. And the restaurant became a school canteen environment when they all descended. This is more a couples hotel, a place where you go for a chilled out holiday, quiet pool, relaxed bar and restaurant area. No complaints about the staff all very friendly and helpful and the hotel itself is wonderful, spacious rooms and very clean. We did complain to the rep Nadine, who did her best and brought it to the hotels attention. They did apologise and offered compensation via complementary services for the remainder of the holiday. But of course they couldn't rid the hotel of the groups. They really need to stop taking group bookings of this size, certainly spoilt the holiday for us.Suggest if you are thinking of booking, email ahead and check no group booking for your week. We will certainly look elsewhere if we visit Santo Tomas again.

I love this hotel and would return. Staff are excellent, outstanding wherever you are - reception, bar, dining room , grounds. The cleanliness of the hotel is exceptional due to hard work of lovely smiling maids. We had a delightful swim up suite. Great terrace with own small pool I would have preferred two lighter loungers rather than large double lounger. It was heavy to move during the day but that’s a minor personal preference. I’m aware people don’t like a bathroom without a door. I understand this but there are doors to close bedroom/bathroom from the lounge so not a problem to us. I can’t comment on other style of bedrooms. The hotel is conveniently set looking towards the sea. Shops and local buses are close. Only cortisol is dining room. Food is excellent and a reasonable choice. Staff who serve are a delight. But there is one BUT! Often difficult to get a seat as two large parties had reserved seats. We were offered outdoor seating which we dislike - not alfresco eaters! Usually we were put near an open door which was chilly. I would also comment on people in shorts etc which at the entrance says is unacceptable. I’m surprised the dining manager allowed this to happen. Those guys in shorts were old enough to know better. I would finish by saying it was a lovely holiday and emphasise staff professionalism

My two friends and I have just returned from a 10 night stay in this wonderful hotel. We are in our 60's. All the staff are friendly and very helpful, the food is excellent and there was plenty of choice. We especially enjoyed the sweets after our dessert too! The rooms are spotlessly clean and are a very good size with a walk in shower, plenty of wardrobe space and the beds are really comfy too. They had entertainment most nights and we enjoyed dancing to the music on the terrace. This is the second timetable that I've been to Seth 55 and I would highly recommend it. They gave me a parting gift as it was my second stay, which was a very thoughtful touch.

Nice, modern hotel - but didn't feel that it was any better than many other 4 star hotels. Pros: It was clean throughout, good food and selection, Rooms were a good size, and a mini fridge with room for your own drinks. Cleaners did a good job. Internet speeds limited to 10 Mbps up/down although consistent so plenty for our needs. Good size pool and not too busy. Good size balcony. Cons: Air conditioning was a little poor for our liking and no fans available (limited to 23 degrees or 27 in public spaces). Toilet doesn't offer a great deal of privacy. TV had no apps or access to HDMI. Only offered Samsung Screen View which was a little ****y - but at least we could watch streaming apps. Staff were friendly but didn't really resolve our queries. Rooms felt a little basic. All lights on balconies and around the pool switch off at 11 on the dot - understandable that lights dim or shut off, but felt a little like a school trip with teachers telling us it's time for bed. Overall, we enjoyed our trip but not sure I'd go back to the same hotel, primary reason being the air conditioning.

Very nice modern hotel with good size rooms .lovely rain type shower very comfortable and clean. Large tv with some British channels good sound proofing .we had a room on the 2nd floor at the back with a very nice country view the only down side was the hotel swimming pool filtration and pump making a constant noise if sitting outside on the balcony. But the swimming pool was very enjoyable 60 metres long .The food was of a very good standard with lots of choice The evening entertainment was good very low key .Air conditioning work very well not noisy. no need to put your towel on a sun loungers lots of loungers and parasols in the pool area

Me and my mum (2 adults) travelled to Seth 55 with Jet2 at the end of September. The weather was mostly gorgeous, apart from the first day which had rain on and off, but once the sun came out it was a lovely temp. We had a lovely, relaxing stay and there are lots of pros to this hotel, so I'll start with those: We stayed in a pool view room, which was worth the extra money for the view - plus the balconies are a generous size so it was lovely to sit out there. The room was spotless, and areas like the hotel ground, pool and reception were always very well looked after. The reception staff were always helpful and friendly too. The big draw for this hotel, for me, is the location - the beach and surrounding greenery are so refreshing and beautiful, and I can see the appeal of this area and island for those who want to get out and enjoy the surroundings. Sat above the rest, for me, aside from perhaps the much more expensive Melia, this hotel would be the top choice for Sant Tomas when compared to other hotels in the area. Some cons :( - I'm not sure if it's just the time of year we went, but the WASPS were horrible and just everywhere (including the food in the restaurant). We struggled to enjoy a drink around the pool without fear of, or being attacked by wasps. I'd love to return to the area and hotel, but would be wary of this problem. Another slight disappointment for me was that I had let the hotel know ahead of our stay that we would be celebrating my mum's birthday during our stay, but this wasn't acknowledged in any way which was a shame considering other reviews have thanked the hotel for gifts etc to mark occasions previously. But this was very minor, we still had such a lovely time, and our room request had been acknowledged which was more important! So, if you're looking for a chilled-out holiday, in a scenic area with gorgeous sand and sea, then I would definitely recommend this hotel. Just be wary of the bugs!

Just been there for a week with TUI . Lovely location. Nice food. Technically we had a side sea view room, but it was really a full sea view, looking westward. Oddly, in our last full day they forgot to service the room, but that's no major problem, as we were right at the end of the season. They probably thought our floor was empty. Anyway, it was a great stay and if we return to Menorca we won't be staying anywhere else. Some tips: Hire a car. You can park for free about 200m to the east of the hotel. It was windy whilst we were there, blowing from the SW. Too rough to swim, but on the north coast it was sheltered and fine. Water at the end of October was around 22c. You can drink the tap water, indeed there is a free water station along the coast path about 100 m to the east. Public buses not that frequent.

Just enjoyed two very good weeks at Hotel 55. The hotel is very well equipped, the rooms are a good size and well fitted out, huge beds and a really nice rain shower (always plenty of hot water). Staff were friendly and efficient, room cleaning excellent and the cleaner picked up on and sorted a slow draining sink before we needed to report it. Food was generally good (as vegetarians with allergies it was good to have a wide choice). Specifics such as gluten free bread were provided without problem. Food choice did reduce in the last few days as the hotel was due to close shortly after we left. Beach was close by and easy access via boardwalks, mostly clear water but sea**** after strong winds a couple of days (as anywhere). We went for a back room as we thought it would be cooler (previous visits were pool views) - it was, and the aircon was good when we needed it, but a couple pointers. Towels etc don't dry well compared with the pool view rooms which face the sun all day. Also as we were close to woodland we had issues with mosquitoes, much more than previous holidays, but I think this was an issue generally on the island this year. There isn't a lot to do in Santo Tomas, evenings were pretty quiet, but that's why we like the resort. Overall a good holiday and we would return.

We booked this hotel for a week of chill out due to a stressful few months. That's exactly what we got. The hotel is faultless. Loads of sunbeds, wonderful staff, super clean, modern and an excellent restaurant. We went bed and breakfast as we usually like eating out in the evenings. In the end though we paid to eat in the restaurant for 4 evenings as the food was so good and the local restaurants we found weren't that great. The only negative thing we could think of was the local area which was really quiet.
