Why this one
Santa Catalina sells eleven categories, and the line that matters is not size but VIP Service. Below it sit the Deluxe, 23 m² with no outdoor space, the Deluxe Superior, which adds a furnished balcony, and the 35 m² Family Deluxe with a terrace over the galleries. From the Junior Suite up, every category comes with daytime use of the adults-only rooftop infinity pool at Alis, from 10:00 to 17:00, and the outdoor thermal circuit for the whole stay; everyone else pays for the spa and swims in the garden pool. For Tuesday 8 June 2027 the Junior Suite was €258, against €169 for the Deluxe and €190 for the Deluxe Superior.
The Junior Suite is the cheapest way across that line, and it brings a balcony and a seating area as well, in 30 to 32 m². Above it the money buys space rather than access: the Suite adds a separate sitting room at €304, the Suite Premium in the towers of the main façade was €359, and the Presidential and Royal Suites run to €570 and €950, all with the same VIP Service. At every level the outlook is the palm garden, the city or the hotel's own galleries rather than the sea, so the side you face matters more than the rung.
- Ask for
- A balcony over the palm garden. The hotel sells Junior Suites facing the city, its galleries or the garden and publishes no floors, so the outlook is a request: make it at booking and again at check-in. If you sleep lightly, ask for a room away from the Alis rooftop, which has live music on Friday and Saturday evenings, and away from the event salons.
- Avoid
- A Deluxe facing the galleries if daylight matters. A Deluxe Superior or Family Deluxe booked in the hope of the rooftop pool: the balcony or terrace comes with them, VIP Service does not. And the Family Deluxe for its size alone, since its terrace looks over the galleries rather than the garden.
Suites against rooms
The Suite is a step up in space, about 40 m² with a separate sitting room and a sofa bed. The Suite Deluxe and Suite Premium, about 45 m² each, sit in the towers of the main façade with living rooms over the palm garden; the Premium is on the first floor and adds a spacious terrace. The Presidential Suites, about 48 m² on the third floor with two bathrooms, have balconies among the palm crowns, facing the harbour, and the Royal Suite adds a large terrace over the palm garden. All of them carry the same VIP Service as the Junior Suite, so the extra money buys room, not access.
