Good place to stay, but a big divide between AI & HB.
Just returned from our 3rd stay at the Vik San Antonio this year. On the two previous occasions we went all inclusive, this time as we’re not big drinkers and rarely have a large lunch, decided to take the half board option. What we were unaware of was being on a half board basis we weren’t entitled to tea & coffee making facilities in the room and we would now be charged 11 euros for the use of the safe, I don’t know how much they were charging for the kettle but they asked 7 euros for two cups, we also didn’t get a complimentary bottled water, unlike previously stay. After some persuasion they did allow a free safe, kettle and two cups and a bottle of water. I did get the feeling we weren’t treated as well as we would have been, had we gone all inclusive. Disappointing really as they gave us a very nice suite room for the 5 days we were there. Overall it’s still a nice place to stay and the staff are all very pleasant, the entertainment each night is ok and the whole place is kept very clean. Still the usual gripes, Luke warm breakfast items, not sure the trays they have the food on are heated from below. Showers at times can be dangerous, due to the sudden temperature fluctuations and as the majority of clientele are getting on in years, the lack of grab handles in some bathrooms. The hotel is in a perfect location, but needs work in some areas.
