We had a fabulous time at the San Eloy.

The rooms were cleaned daily, the staff were all very cheerful and extremely hard working.

The food was always hot and always plenty of it. Plenty of variety too, there were a few dishes that kept popping up but they were mostly things like chicken nuggets for the kids, so not a problem there! My youngest is 6 and is a very fussy eater but there were plenty of dishes to keep even him happy! (that alone is a major accomplishment!!!)

The entertainment staff are absolutely unbelievable, I have never seen anyone with such relentless enthusiasm! They are on the go from 11 in the morning until after midnight and they are always happy and smiling. Some of the shows in the evening were a bit cheesey, but that was the fun thing about them to be honest!

The location was excellent, the brochure made it clear that it was 3km out of the town so no-one should be surprised about that. The free shuttle bus was excellent and Gizmo the driver was an absolute diamond, always helpful and always spot on with his tips and advice.

We have booked top go again in July and I can't wait. Only 4 months to go and we are already counting the days!!!
All that's left to be said is .......1,2,3 ADIOS!!!!

The hotel rooms and surrounding areas were clean and in my opinion child friendly. I liked the fact that my 17 month old daughter was unable to toddle off into the larger pool due to a raised wall.

The bar staff and housekeeping staff were extremely friendly. The food was ok, by the end of the week it was a little repeatative but was always fresh and tasty. The only disappointing thing was there was no bottled water avaiable at breakfast time, you had to wait until the bar opened at 10.30. However, we learnt to get a bottle before the end of the evening and keep it in the fridge in the room!

Fantastic holiday, liked the fact it was out of the way! Bus driver very helpful and friendly as was the Thompson Rep - I would recommend this to anyone seeking a cheap all inclusive break.

We just got back from our holiday and had a great time. There is a lot to do at this location, especially if you have children.

The rooms are cleaned daily and we had plenty of room to relax. We have twin boys 18 months so we asked for two cots and bottom room floor and our accommadations were met. There is no elevator so if you have small children ask for a 1st floor room, or you'll be going up and down the stairs a lot. Check- out time is at noon, and if your flight leaves at 8pm or something you'll be asked to pay an additional 30 euros to keep the room til 6pm, so bring extra money to account for that.

There was a lot to choose from when it came to food. Seafood and different kinds of meat for lunch and dinner, English breakfast, chips at all meals. Or you could get food from the bar, they offered chips, toasted sandwiches, hotdogs, hamburgers. Bottled water for free, but you had to ask at the bar before midnight because after midnight even if your an all inclusive you have to pay, the bar is not free for you anymore after midnight.

The location, was nice, quiet, and relaxing. It's situated about three to five minutes from downtown Tossa de Mar. They have a shuttle that runs every hour on the hour except for siesta time. (1pm to 3pm). Gizmo the driver is great, he is very knowledgable of the area. We went into town a few times and walked to the beach and up to the castle.

The staff and the entertainment were great. Both were very nice and helpful. There is lots of games and stuff to do at the hotel. Bingo every night five euros for six game boards or 1 euro for one game board. We didn't win any money came close a few times but enjoyed it. There is also day excursions you can take from the hotel, to Barcelona, Lloret de Mar markets, an amusement park.

We went on the Barcelona day trip. It was great. It was about 30 euros per person, our children were free because they were under two years, but we saw were the Olympics were held, The sagrada familia, Guell park, hard rock. We did the markets on another day and had fun also, there is lots to buy there.

I recommend the excursions from the hotel if you have children with you, because you're picked up and dropped off and well accounted for throughout the day. If you decide to go it alone there is a bus station in town that will take you to a bigger bus station in another town where you get a ride to Barcelona and then they have underground like in London. We heard from people that tried that at the resort who got lost and only got to see a little bit. Other than that I would recommend this hotel highly for a great vacation.

We went almost at the end of October and had excellent weather up until the last day and then it rained the entire day until we left. The hotel was on a off season and wasn't packed so I think it was better. I still got a tan.

This hotel is absolutly brilliant the food is good the snacks are on all day the staff are brilliant ( dennis, joseph and the rest of the bar staff), The rooms were cleaned daily the food had plenty of variety you could always find something you liked we were never hungry, the hotel is only about 3 mins bus ride from tossa de mar on the courtesy bus with gizmo who will always tell where to go if you need directions.

The entertainment team were brill we had a great time thanks to javi, lorena, suzanna, sandra and the rest of the team, we also had professional acts there was a magician a martial arts show which had to be seen, flamenco and of course all the entertainment the team put on kept us all busy day and night including darts, shuffleboard, french bowls, pool, waterpolo, football, tennis, skittles, basketball, and some sort of javelin game which was a laugh to play.

Then of course there's the kids reps nick & lou well they were great fun always kept the kids amused with games and the mini disco at night our kids loved the kids club they are also game for a laugh well they were when we threw them in the pool didn't mind at all.hope they are there again we hope to go back soon.

There is also bingo every night where you pay 1 euro for 1 ticket or 5 for six tickets and you can win good prize money we won 155 euros more if more play.
So all i can say is we would definetely go back every year if we could if you go you won't be dissapointed especially if you have kids.

For value for money you could not fault the all inclusive deal. The hotel buildings are in a little need of some minor repairs on some of the exterior walls and pathways but inside the room it was excellent, spotlessly clean and everything worked. The food was extremely good for mass catering with plenty of choices and lots of it. The staff were all very friendly and considering the guys behind the bar were working none stop they still managed to mix us some custom cocktails and we never had to wait long either. The hotel is a bit out in the middle of nowhere but the free bus is very good. The entertainment staff really worked hard and I am shure the people who joined in really enjoyed themselves but its all very 'Holiday Camp' Hi-Di-Hi stuff. We went 'End of season' I don't think I would enjoy it in high season when the hotel was completely full.

I took my children here they loved Kizone Nic and Lou are brilliant

5 stars to them

After much deliberation I have decided to post this report as I feel that the previous reviews for me would be misleading.

We booked our holiday to the San Eloy thinking we could use it as a cheap base to see the Costa Brava. Admittedly we usually book 4-5 star hotels but the reviews we read made it sound ok. How wrong we were.

The only positive things were:
The reception staff were friendly, the Thomson rep was very good and the bedrooms were large with 2 double beds although the legs were of the bed were wobbly and creaked all night long.

The hotel was absolutely awful. It was like staying in a camp! The pools were dirty, the scum around the edges was never removed. The balconies are walkways and are not private. The rooms are too near the pool and everyone can see inside!

If you pay the small supplement for a larger room you end up on the second floor and the floor above has a metal walkway over your room so all you hear all night are clomping of peoples shoes.

The food is terrible, powdered soup for example. The crockery is all chipped, the dining area cramped and rushed, the staff rude (unless your in the boozing crowd.)

The grassy areas had all turned to hard mud, there were cigarette butts everywhere. No one dresses up for a meal so dont bother to take nice clothes. Football shirts are the order of the day.

You are in the middle of nowhere but there is a good free bus in to town and the driver is friendly. We hired a car and after 5 nights paid to transfer to the Bahia De Tossa so that our holiday could be saved.

Do not go to this Hotel if you like a degree of quality, you will be dissapointed.

Having visited this hotel during the Summer with three children all I can say is that it is great for them but not much for the adults here.

Maids could not be faulted for cleaning of the rooms, excellent - 5 star. Bar staff great and very friendly to us and to the children.

Restaurant staff were a bit miserable at times and I did not visit the restaurant for a meal during the second week at all - I lived on cheese and ham toasties from the bar for the second week!! However it was great for the two older children to get chips and ice cream whenever they wanted without bothering Mum or Dad.

Had some problems with teenagers above our accommodation who were allocated "accommodation on arrival" who repeatedly got drunk, got loud and spoilt the end of our holiday. However this was reported and dealt with well.

Swimming pools a let down. My eldest walked past the pool and was thrown in by a teenager fully clothed in the deep end (about 10ft deep!) and could not swim. No lifeguard was present.

Entertainment staff were great for the children in Kids Club and for adult games by day - all returned with certificates (or diplomas as they like to call them).

Good value for the price paid but off the beaten track, do not do the trip to Waterworld/Marineland. Rip off. Picked up by coach and then have to catch three buses on your own back - not great took 2 hours to get back with 3 children and a pushchair.

Miles from the beach and beach not safe to allow children to run amuck. Big drop all of a sudden dangerous for children.

I had a bit of a tummy upset but the rest of the family were OK - perhaps I had too much watered down alcohol. Didnt get drunk once and believe me I tried hard!!

If you are on a budget, this is not a bad holiday but could do with hiring a car to see a bit more of the surrounding area and two weeks is a bit long here - ready to come home after 7-10 days.

The San Eloy was the best holiday we have been on.

The staff are brilliant, food brilliant entertainment brilliant.

Great holiday for all. Just try it you will not be disapointed.

We booked our holiday for us and my wife's sister and her family the day after we got back from San Eloy.

We stayed at the San Eloy complex and booked last minute. There is everything you need to have a relaxing or eventful holiday. The resort it is clean, staff were great and the food was excellent. There is entertainment for every taste and bingo every night with some good prize money. Gizmo the free shuttle bus driver was great and informed us of events taking place and sites to see. I would recommend this as a family or couples holiday and would not hesitate to return.
