Seaside Grand Hotel Residencia - Gran Lujo

We have just returned from holiday here and have already booked again for next year. Our daughters have been telling us we should look somewhere else for a change next year for our relaxing September holiday , but after 24 hours at the hotel we decided there is no point in looking elsewhere as we would be comparing it with the Grand Residensia. We feel it is perfect break for us and if you’ve found perfection what is the point of looking elsewhere only to be disappointed. It is spotlessly clean, lovely pool and the food is exceptional. The staff and management are all so friendly and go out of their way to help in any way they can. The staff seem to get on well to together which leads to a lovely atmosphere whereas I sometimes feel this isn’t always the case in some of the larger hotels. Well done Residencia , continue with what you’re doing as it works, otherwise you wouldn’t get so many people coming year after year.

just returned from 11 days at the hotel, 6th time in two years. as always the holiday was exceptional, This hotel is the finest we have ever visited. the food is cordon blue, the staff are extremely friendly and efficient, the pool area is beautiful with lovely comfortable sun beds and kept in wonderful condition by a team of hard working attendants. the rooms are spacious, comfortable, beautifully furnished and kept in pristine condition by the lovely team of cleaning ladies. There is a spa and gym with all of the facilities you would expect. There is a lovely welcoming reception area and Terrace which provide a relaxing place to read or write or escape for a while from the sun, again beautifully furnished . There is a really nice pool bar providing really good food with a good drinks menu. In the evening the high class restaurant provides superb food and drinks either on the terrace or in the beautiful restaurant. We cant wait to go back, already booked for this years Xmas and New Year.

Small (about 100 rooms), intimate, peaceful, tranquil, beautiful and totally reliable. Outstanding staff who will go well beyond the extra mile in service. As I picked up my cup for afternoon tea on Friday the gentleman in front had been returning for 22 years and the man behind for 18. We have been, probably, over 30 times in the last 20 or so years. We have known many of the staff for that long too. It is just such a dependable oasis. Luxury, comfort, great food. Quiet, understated elegance. Come here to relax, unwind and be pampered.

I’ve had this hotel in my radar for a while, it looked classy and elegant. Wanting to escape the dire British summer we booked a quick week here, and I’m happy to report it was as good as I’d hoped. We just had a lead in room on the ground floor which was perfect for our needs (we looked at the upgrades available and didn’t think they were worth the extra). The hotel is spotless, the staff professional and friendly. Food terrific, even bbq night (I hate buffets so was surprised to find that I enjoyed what was on offer! Btw we had lobster one night - heavenly). The clientele is of the mature variety, we are both 60 and felt ‘young’! There’s lots of places to eat nearby, and supermarkets too. If you’re planning a hotel only stay, enjoy great food, don’t mind the rather cheek by jowl pool side, this hotel ticks all your boxes.

Having had the pleasure in visiting the hotel since 2016 at several occasions, the is little or nothing to complain about. In fact, in the last 2 years, we have had the privilege of staying in several 5* hotels, but none of them, have provided us with the level of satisfaction we enjoyed @ the SGHR. For sure, the SGHR is requiring a somewhat higher budget, but the return on investment is simply not comparable. Although the hotel is at the age of 24 years ( if I am not mistaken), it appears like a lady that has matured with the best care one could imagine. Even with a close look, it is difficult to discover any issue of insufficient maintenance. Maintenance is far beyond a 5*. And for the staff, we have met this year some staff that has been there for many years, while also the new staff, are showing that first of all, they have been well selected and trained, because all deliver the same high level of dedication to deliver outstanding service. I know from other resorts, how difficult it is to find new staff, but the SGHR apparently succeeds in finding the best. No real need to endeavor to elaborate related to the quality of the food. From the breakfast to the pool bar lunch area, the superbe dinner selection, the twice a week marvelous BBQ, the quality and selection is fully in line with the overall SGHR experience. My advice to hesitaters: give it a try and you will want to return over and over again. Our deepest appreciation for the entire team, which all of the, contribute to our amazing experience. Sincerely yours,

The Grand Residencia just smashes it at every level, but it is the quality and consistency of the service and its staff that just shines brightly day in, day out. It is also a peaceful and tranquil oasis where we find it easy to relax and enjoy excellent food and wines. Among many other good reasons, it is why we have returned 4 times, and will continue to do so, as with many other guests there. One couple we met, had been there 40 times! Like for them, it has become our home from home.
