The Hotel Son Matias Beach, is the BEST hotel I EVER worked! I was entertainments manager there along with Joyce for two seasons. Well done to all of the team along with Andreas and Tony. If you enjoy 'quality', then this is the hotel for you...Thank you...Bryan S.

Well...I don't wish to be the bearer of 'not so good news', but the lovely Joyce passed away on January 28/2017 aged 63 years. Joyce was one of the best! For anyone who may remember Joyce , thank you for remembering a fine lady. Sleep well and thank you for being you...Bryan S.❤🌺...

We always stay in the Santa Lucia and we have done for years myself and my daughters went into that Hotel last July just to have a look and we’re definitely not impressed it’s like an old folks home and as soon as we walked near the pool we was stared at and felt very intimidated by probably the regular guests we’ve never felt like that at the Santa Lucia we’re going again this year in July for my daughters birthday and they always send a bottle of wine to our room Love every minute there very relaxing and absolutely beautiful staff ❤

Looking forward for our 36th year in the Son Matias this year Alex, one thing you did not mention is the pool does not really have a deep end. So if anyone is a bit on the nervous side you need not worry the very deepest it is is around 5 feet so everyone can enjoy the full pool rather than hogging the shallow end.

I stayed here September 2022 and the sunbed policy was not followed. I spent two afternoons round the pool looking at sunbeds with towels on and noone came to check the loungers or place stickes on them. Sun loungers are ment for people to lay on, not a glorified towel rack
