Globales Samoa

Been to this hotel back in 2019. This hotel is kept spotless every day all the staff work very hard from the cleaners to the chefs and bar staff. The food was good in the first week then in the second week it changed they seem to repeat some of the dishes from dinner time to the evening meals. My room was nice a view of the shops and u could see the sea in the background I had fresh towels every day and the bed was made and room cleaned. Downside was the French entertainment team the activities in day time they use to walk past people from the Uk. Evening entertainment was hit or miss when I was here back in 2019 the entertainment was alot better a different entertainment team back then. The area is nice with shops and restaurants just across the road from the hotel. The beach is a 10 minute walk from the hotel where u can do boat trips. Would I return to this hotel yes I would but go a week earlier so not so near the end of season I've also been to the globales America hotel which is down the road another nice hotel right on the seafront. I travelled with Jet2 which kept me upto date with coach pick up times from airport and the journey back to the airport also the hotel had a Jet2 rep for any problems or to book trips

Grown up family (dad, son, daughter) & we stayed for just under a week late August 2024. Arrived quite late (01:00 am) but Javier on reception checked us in efficiently & even drink & food was available (which was very welcome!) Room was on the 6th floor (street side) which gave amazing sea views throughout the day. Our room had been basically converted into a triple room, everything clean & tidy plus housekeeping was done daily. No kitchenette facilities but bear in mind that this is a n all-inclusive hotel. Bring a travel kettle! Always plenty to eat & drink in the main restaurant (sitting out on the restaurant terrace is amazing) & the poolside snack bar is exceptional! Main bar is by the pool area & the all-inclusive drinks are quite varied (checkout the drinks menu on the bar counter). The daily signature cocktail is 5 euros which we went for as a treat each evening. Pool area is clean & tidy plus if you get down there in the morning handy (we used to land about 10:00 am) there are PLENTY OF SUNBEDS AVAILABLE! Animation team work very hard all day/evening but are never in your face. Do be aware that the hotel's clientele tend to be French/Italian. This didn't bother me at all as I've worked many years for a major French company. Entertainment laid on every evening and the music night the animation did on our final night was hysterically funny (even to us Brits) There's also not a lot outside the hotel (few bars & shops) but the nearby beach (accessed from the rear of the hotel) is very nice with a beach snack bar close by. We were quite lazy on this holiday as I've seen on YouTube there is plenty more to explore :-) Only slight quibble with the entire holiday was the lifts (one was out of action) but we simply used the stairs to burn off the calories! Overall we had a brilliant time at Globales Samoa & enjoyed it that much that I cancelled next year's holiday to Turkey & have rebooked the Samoa for next year!

We have returned to this hotel after 12 years. Unfortunately, for the third time, we'll probably choose another hotel. We had a room on the street on the sixth floor, very loud music from the bar across the street by midnight, there was no sleep. Food good, very often the same, but we chose. The dining room is nicely designed, newly and sitting outside on a terrace with a beautiful view of the surrounding area. We were surprised by the nice beep for beer and wine, when people turn themselves in at lunch and dinner. I don't know why the bar didn't work next to the dining room, there were big queues at the pool side bar in the evening. The rooms are nice all the time, but the parents had a broken bed and didn't open the balcony door.Cleaning not much. Just hastily swabbed, towels delivered and nothing more. We had to request toilet paper. At the reception very helpful and nice people, in the dining room and on the bar all very hardworking and quick. I was also pleased with the offer of renting bikes and electric bikes at the reception. The bay is still beautiful and clean.

Overall a nice hotel. The room is nice and clean and the bathroom is spotless. The bed is really comfy. The staff at front of house were always helpful and polite. The waiters and bar staff again were polite. Overall a comfortable, friendly, nice hotel. I would say perhaps more French and spanish guests, hence why food is more catered to the French. However I could always find something I wanted to eat. The food was ok, but became a bit repetitive, but that is because I mainly ate the same things to stick to what I like. Was always the options of rice and chips daily, then would be a selection of meats on different days aswell as wide range of selection on the salad bar. The desserts were often the same daily, which were the same selection of cakes. The chicken one night wasn't cooked enough for me, so stayed away from meats thereafter. There is a food snack bar open during the day for a few hours which can help yourself to pizza, burgers which i found was good. Was mixed guests really, older couples, few families with children. I liked that it weren't overly busy at the beginning of May, meant the pool area was relaxed. The que to the bars were not long at all, was served very quickly and it's a plus that there is a self serve hot drink machine and cold drink. The hotel was very close to the beach which was good. There was entertainment in the hotel which I didn't really bother with, however looked ok when passing. The schedule is written in french so I didn't know what each was and had to translate on my phone.

Overall an average 3 star hotel. As previous reviews have said, very much geared up towards French/german visitors. The room is pretty basic, please note no tea/coffee facilities or fridge. I believe these can be hired. This was a shame as the previous Globales (Mediterrani - Menorca) we stayed in have had these as standard. The food was not the best, breakfast was the best meal of the day. We ate out more than once just to get a good meal. Kids might struggle with the lack of choice unless they want stews and fish every day. The lift situation was definitely problematic. Only one working lift and very long waits to use. The hotel was busy even though it was October. We were on the 5th floor with great views of the sea, pools, mountains. Plenty of sun beds. It’s very well kept and very clean. The staff are friendly, cleaners do a great job. You can basically choose as and when you want clean towels and sheets. A great idea to be better for the environment. All inclusive drinks were absolutely fine. Plenty of choice. The location is good, close to shops and bars etc. Short walk to the beach and nice walks in the area. Not recommended for those with mobility issues. Lots of steps. Overall a nice holiday and a much needed break!

The hotel was excellent, very clean, rooms done daily. As others have said only one of the two lifts were working, being on the fifth floor walking down was no problem but needed the lift to go up, which at meal times was a bit annoying. Plenty of sunbeds and tables and chairs. A lovely beach to walk to and enough local shops to get any bits in. Did a trip on the bus to Porto Cristo, nice harbour and a few shops, an hour there was enough, 4.5 euros each way. Entertainment at the hotel was ok bearing in mind only a week to go till the end of the season. Bingo each night, a quiz a couple of nights and entertainers on 3 nights. I cannot speak highly enough of Alex the entertainment organiser, the only one at the moment. He organised darts, ping pong, french boules, volley ball, he really did put himself out to try to entertain everyone. Excellent member of staff. The food we found a bit of a struggle as not liking pasta or spices, sauces we were very picky with our food, but still found enough to keep us going. Over all an excellent holoiday and the weather was perfect too.
