Key Moments

Editorial Summary

The creators provide a detailed review of the Globales Santa Lucia Hotel in Palma Nova following a cruise. They begin by discussing the convenient location, noting its proximity to the cruise port and the nearby nightlife in Magaluf. The review covers the hotel's extensive pool facilities, including a rooftop infinity pool, a main outdoor pool, and an indoor option. While they praise the pools, they note that guests often queue early to secure sunbeds at the rooftop area. The food section highlights the half board option, describing the breakfast variety and themed dinner nights such as Spanish and American nights. The creators express surprise at the bar prices, which they found to be quite reasonable for a four star establishment. They also mention the availability of spa treatments and the hotel's cashless policy, though they recount a confusing experience regarding paid access to the room safe. A tour of the room reveals a decent sized bathroom and a balcony with beautiful views, though they note the room space is somewhat tight and the beds were configured as twins rather than a double. They conclude that the hotel is an excellent choice for short stays or those with mobility issues.

Creator's Key Takeaways

we are staying at the globalis Santa Lucia for three nights following our Marella Voyager Cruz

the food we've had now before we give you a tour of our room let's talk about bar prices because this has been actually very surprising scandalous they are scandalous

we've been overall impressed with this hotel and that's a lovely pool which has got an outside area just outside the bar area

the biggest drawback of this the rooftop pool which we discussed cursed earlier that is 30 foot that way which we can actually pull the camera out the door once we all finish this Spiel Carol will just poke the camera out the door just to show you where it is people queue from about quarter past nine in the morning
