Ok hotel with good location
Nice, simple hotel with amazing staff in the reception and restaurant. Cleaning was very bad and they didn't change towels or sheets unless we asked the reception for it.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Not very good
When we arrived we were asked to pay again even though we had paid in advance. I had to prove that I had paid in advance. When the man gave us our key to the room he just told us what room number with no directions. We walked around the hotel looking for our room for 15 mins before going to ask where it was and even then he just pointed in a direction and left us to find it ourselves. The bathroom door handle was falling off, the bed was not made so we had to locate the sheets and pillows and make it ourselves. When we checked out there weee different people behind the counter who then tried to charge us again for the room. I again had to prove I had paid in full. We would not stay here again and wouldn’t recommend this hotel at all. We were glad it was just one night.

Ottima scelta
Secondo noi il Pontao è un'ottima scelta. Camera grande spaziosa e quotidianamente pulita. Personale sia in sala che alla reception molto gentile. Posizione ottima. Rimane a 3/4 minuti a piedi dal centro e spiaggia. Quindi vicino al centro però con la tranquillità di dormire in silenzio. Consigliatissimo!

Das angebotene BBQ am jedem Freitag Abend ist zu teuer mit 20 Euro pro Person . Für 15 Euro kann ich eine Empfehlung geben

Perfekt läge, nära stranden och centrum. Hotellet är välskött med fin pool, takterass och lugn stämning. Rummen är fint inredda och varje rum ar en balkong eller terass samt ett litet kylskåp. Frukostbufféen var enkel men bra. Minuset var sängarna som var för hårda för mig.

Przyjemny pobyt w Santa Maria
Tydzień spędzony w Hotelu Pontao był bardzo przyjemny. Pokój bardzo duży, z częścią wypoczynkową, wygodne łóżko, lodówka. Łazienka czysta i zadbana, chociaż widać upływ czasu. Śniadanie smaczne (spory wybór: kilka rodzajów pieczywa, szynka, ser, omlet, jajecznica, bekon, pieczarki, jogurt, płatki, ciasta, owoce, itd.). Basen odpowiednio duży, leżaki, bar przy basenie (przekąski, drinki). Obsługa bardzo miła i pomocna. 3-4 minuty spacerem do głównej ulicy turystycznej (restauracje, bary, sklepiki z pamiątkami i sklep spożywczo-przemysłowy), 5-6 minut spacerem do pięknej szerokiej plaży i pomostu.
