The resort is always busy during this period and there is a great summer atmosphere and plenty going on.
If you travel in these months you will of course benefit from the amazing weather and enjoy long, hot summer days. Plan ahead and book your hotel well in advance to enjoy the best prices and to ensure that you get a room at your chosen hotel.

Now, if you like things a little quieter you might choose to visit Santa Ponsa in May or October. There are still plenty of people around, but just in fewer numbers and there is a more chilled out atmosphere.

The weather will also still be lovely and sunny and often hot during the daytime for sunbathing, although the odd rain shower isn´t unusual during these months. Hotel prices will be more competitive in these months and some great bargains can be found, but again, plan ahead as many savvy travellers are aware of this and snap up the great deals in advance!

As Santa Ponsa is a summer resort it means that during the winter months most of the hotels, restaurants, bars and shops close, except very few. There are however some hotels in Santa Ponsa that during the winter months attract regular pensioners, cyclists and hikers that choose to make Santa Ponsa their home for long winter holidays.

The age and type of people that are travelling and what sort of holiday they want to have will more than likely determine what type of accommodation is chosen.

Families with children usually choose between self-catering and all-inclusive, as they seem to offer the best value for money, but in very different ways. Let´s take a look:

Self-catering:

There are various self-catering “apart-hotels”, as they are known, in Santa Ponsa.
Most consist of a one bedroom apartment with a separate bathroom and a lounge/dining area with a small kitchen. They usually sleep up to 4 people and offer plenty of space and are a comfortable way to enjoy your holiday. As they have a fridge and cooking facilities they are ideal for families that prefer to have the freedom of preparing small meals and snacks for themselves. This obviously cuts down on the cost of eating out and provides flexibility, so is a wise economical choice and many people find that once they try self-catering, they never go back. There are 2 large supermarkets and various smaller ones within the resort, so stocking up with shopping is not a problem and they all have a choice of popular famous brand name products you would find back home.

All-inclusive:
In the last couple of years more hotels have decided to go down the all-inclusive route.
It is fair to say that this is usually due to the lack of customers that they were attracting prior to offering this service. These are tough times for everyone, so it is obvious to see why all-inclusive packages are also a popular choice for families, as all food and drink at the hotel is included in the price. There are a couple of things to consider however, before deciding that all-inclusive is the best option.

Firstly the hotels offering this package generally try to keep the costs of their food and drink as low as they possibly can, which means that the customers do not usually get premium quality products. So there may be plenty of food to choose from, but what does it consist of and what does it taste like?

Secondly, it is common in all-inclusive hotels for the bar to have a cut off time at midnight. This means that there is a massive rush just before midnight as everyone tries to stock up on drinks before they close the bar, so expect long queues and sometimes disappointment if you just miss the dead line!

Thirdly, the food tends to get repetitive, so holiday makers often feel the need to venture outside to resort restaurants for evening meals. This obviously means they unexpectedly and reluctantly eat (quite literally) into their holiday spending money.

Check-in and check-out:

Check-in time at most hotels is 2 or 3pm. and check-out time is usually 11am.
Sometimes a shower room is available for guests to use after check-out time and late check-out is sometimes available at some hotels. This would have to be requested in person at the hotel on the day of departure, and there would usually be a small charge.
