We visited Seth Mestral in late May, on our first summer holiday abroad, with a four year old and two year old. We couldn't have selected a nicer destination for our first foreign holiday. A few weeks prior to traveling, we requested an apartment near the splash pool and were delighted when we were given our two bedroom apartment directly facing the splash pool. Apartment- well equipped for self catering although we were half board. Bedrooms were spotless and cleaned daily. Pool- both main pools spotless with plenty of sun loungers and no hoggin with towels. Splash pool cleaned most days by maintenance. Water slightly on the cool side, but kids had a great time once in. Pool Bar- this was staffed from lunch to late afternoon, with a good selection of food and drinks. Restaurant- we were absolutely delighted with the excellent selection/variety of food, chefs replenished repeatedly. There is a kids buffet with plenty of pasta to suit the fussiest kids including our own. The dessert selection was our favourite Staff- the staff made the holiday, they greeted us every night, spoke to kids and gave them high fives and lollipops. The restaurant general manager and all his staff despite being busy, always took time to get and chat. A credit to the hotel. The hotel general manager is lovely and we even got a hug from her on our departure. Beach/entertainment- beach, a two minute walk away. Our daughter loved the soft play (we insist on buying the block tickets to save money daily) and the Disney show that took place on the Saturday. It was a fantastic experience and no doubt we would love to go back sometime in the future. TIP- there are lots of mosquitos about Santo Tomas so definitely stock up on insect repellent especially to protect children.
