Breakfasts and dinners were really good. The selection was huge. Every dinner had a theme, so it wasn't the same every night.

Enorme Santanna Beach is known for its spacious, modern rooms, some featuring swim-up pools and sea views, that many guests appreciate. The hotel offers easy access to a quiet beach with sunbeds and a convenient beach bar. Access to the beach is facilitated by an underpass.

spacious roommodern designexcellent sunbeds

The room was spacious. the modern design included a swim-up pool and amazing views of the sea. the beach is quiet with great sunbeds. The beach bar has everything you need.

The hotel is built on a hill, so walking up is a little hard if you are older. The hotel will take you to your room in a golf cart after a phone call though.
