Hotel spotless, clean towels and maid service every day. we paid to go half board on arrival 15 euro a day & half price for kids. sometimes food was ok other times it was excellent. Food was generally lukewarm but a microwave was provided.breakfast was always good - english sausages!!
location was quite remote with a couple of shops accross the beach and the main shoops and resturants a 10 minute walk away. staff couldn't do enough for you. entertainment excellent never stopped from 10am to 11pm. sunbed situation a disgrace. if you cant beat them join them... we had to put towels out a bedtime to get one.

Great hotel with lots of facilities and very clean. There are not enough sun umbrellas and you need to be up at about 8am to get one. If you wanted a pool-side bed, even earlier. The pool got closed seven (yes seven)times during our 14 days. The longest was for 24hrs due to vomit. The shortest 3 hours due to a poo. The pool is so big and there are so many people that one accident closes off such a big area. They would have been far better making two pools so at least one could stay open. The staff were all very polite and friendly and the entertainment ranged from the rep shows(generally carcrashes, but the kids liked them) to the brilliant"African footprints". My 10 year old daughter went to the kids club once and wouldn't go back. She said it was boring as they were just told to entertain themselves for 2 hours with a game of twister.

This was our fourth visit to this hotel we booked self catering and upgraded to half board on arrival which worked out much cheaper, and also gives you the advantage of having a fridge. We had room 5309 in Petuna House absolutely fantastic room, view of pool and beach extremely large balcony definitely recommend this room. The food in restuarant was very good and always lots of variety, the hotel was full whilst we were there and due to cut backs in staff quantity, there were times in the restuarant when tables were not cleared or not set, but we just asked a member of the staff and they sorted it. We found the entertainments team this year not very sociable, they quite often wouldn't acknowledge you when you walked past them and they never came and chatted during the day as they have in the past, they only seemed happy when they were on stage at night messing about with each other. The pool was closed 6 times in two weeks due to people letting there children use the pool as a toilet which was a bit annoying, no inflatables still in pool. We had to get up by 7am to get sunbeds and umbrellas but this got esier to the end of the holiday as a lot of people went home just before us. We would go back to this hotel but we did find a change since we last went two years ago.

We have been to Seaview 6 times since 1997 and are going again in May this year. We always said we wouldnt go to the same place more than once but we find that everywhere we go we compare it to seaview and the others always fall short.

The pool is fantastic,the tiles are colour coded so the lighter the tile the shallower the water so even if your little ones cant read the signs just tell them to stay away from the dark tiled areas. Also you walk into the water like you do the beach so no sharp edges or deep drops. There are always plenty of sunbed although to get the best position you do need to join in with the sunbed rush in the morning.

There is always something to do, the entertainers always try to find things to suit everyone, particularly the kids. As we have been going since our kids were 5 and 1 it shows how good it is as they are now 17 and 13 and there is still plenty for them to do.

Also we have noticed that there are a number of staff who have ben there every year and they wouldnt keep coming back to work there every season if it wasnt nice so that is a recommendation in itself.

There is an outdoor stage which is used most evenings but if the weather is not good they use the indoor entertainment room which is huge. There is also a seperate cocktail lounge area, a cinema room and internet room and even a quiet reading room. There is also a nightclub bar in the basement of the hotel but this has never caused us any disturbance.

The rooms are more than adequate although the self catering facilities in the studio's is very basic but hey who gos on holiday to cook anyway?

The self catering one bedroom apartments are larger and have huge balconies.

We have done both self catering and half board and both are good. We are going half board this time and have always found the food to be very good.

OVerall the hotel is great, the only thing that ever lets this hotel down is the guests.....sometimes people need to show a little more respect for other guests and the staff. Although the staff are there to serve you and help you on your holiday this does not mean that you should speak down to them and treat them like lackies! As with everywhere the drunken behaviour of some guests can be quite anoying to others but thats not the hotels fault!

All in all cant wait to go to seaview again and would happily recommend it to anyone but would suggest that lager louts and the 'older' genereation may like to stay elsewhere as Seaview is definatley for families.

we went on a self catering basis but we upgraded to half board when we got there we found this to be a lot cheaper that actually going half board from the start, it was 15 euro's per day for an adult and 7.50 euro for a child up to the age of 12, it was a buffet restaurant and you can go up as often as you like, the food was excellant and there was lots of variety to suit everyone, my son and i are picky eaters and we found lots to eat every day.

the cleanliness of the hotel was excellant, rooms cleaned every day with fresh towels if required. the pool area was lovely a big freeform pool, no inflatables allowed in though for safety reasons. the beach is small but is only a two minute walk away from the hotel, the location of the hotel is well away from all the buzz but it's only a nice 15 minute walk along the waterfront to get to the bay, the bus stops right outside the hotel if you fancy a trip into san antonio town and theres also a water taxi from the beach costing only a couple of euros, very cheap. we find it a good location as you can get a good sleep at night and your not far from all the entertainment.

the hotel staff are all very friendly from the cleaners to the bar staff and the people on reception are great too. the entertainment was great when there was professional entertainers in and the reps done there best too. the reps were very good with all the children,they get entertained all day long.

i would definitely go back to this hotel again and being a v.i.p member you get lots of extra benefits too.

The cleanliness of this complex was just first class, the food was good as we were self catering, but could have done with a bit more choice.

The location is spot on, a nice wee walk to the bay or get the bus just outside the hotel on the hour 1.25 euros not bad and the lovely beach just at the front of the hotel. There is also a very good supermarket across the beach. Up the stairs next to the place they go diving, very cheap and next to it a good place for breakfast 3.50 euros.

The hotel staff were all very nice even the maids rooms done every day, the bar staff and reception very kind and helpful.

The reps did a first class job where they got the energy from I don

Just back from the Seaview. Arrived at 11.30am and didnt get room until 2.00pm, so be warned if arriving on an early flight.
The hotel is beautiful and the pool is large with varying depths which could have better signage to tell you about the depths.
We were given room 3201 in Almond House, really big and spacious, after first night we realised why it is so big, its to compensate for the noise!! The bedroom area is over the stairs which are main access from pool area to this block. You heard every flip-flop,every giggle, every arguement and every conversation going by people returning to their room!!
During our 14 nights we had 4 outside proffessional acts and every other night was the reps! They did try hard and did work long hours but there is only so many spin off shows you can take.
We up graded to half board for one night it was a cattle market, everyone complained that night, i do think we hit it on a bad night as everyone we spoke to said it was ok.
The brochure doesnt tell you about the walk into the bars, restaurents etc. it is a good 15 min walk in and quite remote. Wouldnt walk this road on my own. There is a bus outside of hotel but by 3rd stop its packed. There is some beach side cafes at beautiful beach beside hotel but we found them pricey and not great for evening meals. As said beach beautiful but unfortunately for us a shoal of jelly fish had arrived when we got there, but still an idyllic beach.

The sunbed situation is ridiculous. At welcome meeting you are told there are plenty of sunbeds for everyone which is true, but still you get the idiots up at 2 in the morning making their claim and then not turning up to 4 in afternoon to sit on them. We sat on balcony and heard one woman very proudly telling her family she had their beds sorted for the next day, at 11.10pm now thats sad.

Our 16 year old had a ball, made lots of mates but didnt go to escape club.
Our other child thoroughly enjoyed themselves too but did find the walk in evening a bit hard.

If entertainment was better and few more shops and bars nearer would consider going back.
Supermarket over from hotel is just a rip off, try one over the beach or first one you come to when walking in to the town on left hand side before the gold crown bar.

Been to this hotel 3 times in the last 2 years still as good as ever had a room with a lovely sea view whole place keep very clean staff very good meals always nice.

Hotel right next to a lovely beach only downside is the entertainment sometimes is not very good all in all a very good hotel can not wait to go back.

The hotel was very clean and the staff very friendly and most were helpful.

The food was not too bad but you can only eat so many salads before they get boring.

Location was quiet but great for kids with the beach only a few minutes walk away.

Entertainment was great especially for the kids and the reps worked very hard. My only complaint is that I left my camera under a sun lounger and when I returned it was gone.

I know this was my own fault but no one seemed to take it seriously and it took 3 days before anyone even took my room number and wrote it down and that was only because I insisted they do.

I think they should tell you about these things in the welcome meetings when they tell you about timeshare people.

Even though this happened I would still go back as it is a lovely place.

Room was all we asked for a great view of the sea,we were in the end block hisbiscue i think it was called.
The complex was quiet not too many kids which was fine for us bet it is packed in the heat of the season.
