Seaside Grand Hotel Residencia

Benedict Carter

We absolutely loved staying here, we had a really nice and quiet room, the gardens are stunning, there are loads of staff who are very friendly and helpful (like 1 per 2 guests?!). The food is amazing. It's both good and bad in that we massively overate which is not good for the waistline, but we simply didn't stop ourselves because it was superb. Be warned, they really don't like to see guys knees or ankles at dinner, and so you must wear trousers! The good news is you don't need a monacle or tophat or powdered wig. The pools were great, both a nice cooler but still pleasant temperature main pool, and a very nice very warm pool. They had some saunas we forgot to use since the weather was so nice and warm. The gym is excellent, decent selection of weights and machines.

This is an oasis! A luxury hotel with a warmth and charm which makes it feel such a treat. All the staff smile and greet their guests with genuine hospitality. My favourite place.

Seaside Grand Hotel Residencia is an oasis of luxury and tranquility. It’s the kind of place designed for true relaxation — no crowds, no chaos, just peaceful elegance. The property feels intimate and exclusive, with shops and restaurants just a short walk away and the beach only 5–10 minutes by foot. The atmosphere is serene, and while the crowd skews older, I didn’t mind one bit — it added to the peaceful charm. The breakfast buffet was exceptional with champagne, mimosas, and cooked-to-order dishes, and dinner was a highlight every single night. Definitely opt for half board so you don’t miss the incredible BBQs. The spa deserves its own applause — sauna, steam, salt room, cold plunge — I went every day and left feeling completely rejuvenated. I also appreciated the no-phone rule in public areas — it truly encourages you to unplug and be present. The staff here are next-level, learning every guest’s name and making you feel genuinely cared for.

Heaven on earth! So, this is just a brief note to say that I love the Seaside Grand Residencia. I stayed at the sister hotel Palm Beach, which I also love, and decided to prolong my stay with one night. I asked GM Nicole of the Palm Beach if she thought it would be a good idea to try the Grand Residencia, and she thought it would be an excellent idea. She even drove me with her car the 200 meters from Palm beach to Grand Residencia. Wow, talk about VIP service. I felt very special! The welcome to the GHR was flawless with the bell captain waiting to whisk my suitcase away. The front desk offered me a welcome drink, and then I was escorted to my deluxe room with pool view. The room is super nice. Quite big, about 40m2 I would say, and with all the amenities you would expect from a 5GL star hotel. Complimentary fruit and water were available and there were yellow roses scattered about the room and in the bathroom. There was a king-size bed and two comfortable armchairs. The balcony had very comfortable chairs and a small table and the view was facing the pool area. In the hotel that is not a problem because it’s just a quiet, beautiful area. I had half-board, so breakfast and dinner were included. The food was exceptional! Both dinner and breakfast. The service is out of this world and makes this place truly special. I would love to have been able to stay another couple of nights (or weeks!) but I had to get back to real life. I would love to go back! To finish this review, I need to say that I also love Palm Beach. Since these hotels are sister hotels, I hope management won’t mind. The GHR is a smaller, much more intimate property with very personalized service and I believe adult-only, while Palm beach is a bigger property with more action going on.

What a wonderful experience - my husband and I have just spent a glorious two days (not long enough I hear you cry) and I cannot recommend this majestic hotel highly enough. My travel agent let it be known that it was a special Birthday for me and Grand Hotel Residencia went above and beyond to make it super special!! Thank you from my heart, I’ll never forget the excellent service from the friendly staff in Reception, the Pool Bar, the wonderful Betina, Miguel and crew. Eros and staff at the restaurant, the piano bar and the friendly room attendants. Nothing was too much and I’m truly grateful to you all. You deserve all the accolades, including awards for the excellent food from your hardworking chefs. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
