Pros
- Direct Booking Pays Its Way: Free My Senator membership takes 5% off direct rates from the first night, 8% from 11 nights and 12% from 20, on top of offers such as 15% Early Booking at 60 days out.
- All-Inclusive, Clearly Tiered: Packages are named as Premium All Inclusive, All Inclusive Premium Imperial, Diverhotels and standard all-inclusive, so the level of inclusion is set out before you pay.
- A Caribbean Option in US Dollars: Senator Puerto Plata, a 567-room five-star in the Dominican Republic, prices in dollars from $206 a night and holds 4.3 on TripAdvisor across roughly 3,700 reviews.
Cons
- Cancellation terms are set offer by offer — flexible rates usually charge one night inside 24 or 48 hours, some tiered offers charge 15% to 35% in the final five days — so a quick look at the conditions on your chosen rate settles it before you confirm.
- Spain-side hotels price in euros and the reservations desk works from Spanish lines and WhatsApp rather than a US number, so email or WhatsApp is the smoothest route for North American guests, and My Senator points redeem at the Spanish hotels only.
The Verdict
What sets Senator Hotels & Resorts apart is a direct-booking club that rewards you from the very first night: Senator is a family company founded in 1967 in Almería and now run by its second generation, operating more than 40 hotels across mainland Spain, Mallorca and Menorca, plus Senator Puerto Plata and Playabachata in the Dominican Republic. Its free My Senator programme opens at 5% off direct rates, rises to 8% after 11 nights and 12% after 20, and earns 100 points a night (150 in a suite) toward a free night at 6,000 points. Those savings sit on top of published offers — 15% Early Booking at 60 days out, 5% on long stays and 10% on non-refundable rates — and stays booked through online travel agencies earn no points, which makes the group's own site the place to book. Pricing is approachable for the category. Playacapricho starts from €63 a night, Senator Cádiz from €77 for a double in the low season and €120 for a junior suite, and Senator Puerto Plata from $206 a night in US dollars, with 27% off when booked 45 days ahead. All-inclusive comes in four clearly named tiers, adults-only stays are offered at Talayot in Mallorca and Mirador del Cabo, and the site runs fully in English. Payment is flexible too: card at booking, bank transfer up to five days before arrival, or cash at the hotel for bills under €1,000, with non-refundable rates paid in full when you book. The reservations are practical ones. Cancellation terms are set per offer rather than group-wide: flexible rates typically charge one night inside 24 or 48 hours, some tiered offers charge 15% to 35% in the final five days, and non-refundable rates allow no changes. Some hotels add a local tourist tax at check-in, support runs through Spanish lines, email and WhatsApp, and the group-level Trustpilot sample is small, while the hotels themselves carry deeper records — 4.3 for Senator Puerto Plata and 4.1 for Senator Cádiz on TripAdvisor, and 7.6 for Puerto Plata on Booking.com. Made for travellers bound for Spain's coasts and cities, or Puerto Plata, who book direct: the member discount stacks with published offers. Early Booking takes 15% off at 60 days out, so join My Senator, choose the flexible rate unless your dates are fixed and book now.
Beach and City Hotels in Spain, Plus the Dominican Republic
Senator Hotels & Resorts is operated by Grupo Hoteles Playa, S.A. (tax ID A04108973) from Ctra. Faro Sabinal in Roquetas de Mar, Almería. Founded in 1967 by José María Rossell Recasens and now led by the family's second generation, the group runs more than 40 hotels with over 7,000 rooms under the Playa Hoteles, Senator Hotels and Affiliated by Senator names, and also manages hotels for IHG, Marriott, Hilton and Radisson. Destinations include Almería, Cádiz, Huelva, Granada, Seville, Madrid, Barcelona, Málaga, Mallorca, Menorca and Puerto Plata in the Dominican Republic.
Published rates start from €63 a night at Playacapricho and from €77 for a double at Senator Cádiz, where a junior suite runs from €120. Senator Puerto Plata, the group's five-star in the Dominican Republic, prices in US dollars from $206 a night, with top suites from $675 and a 27% saving for bookings made 45 days ahead. Standing offers add 15% for Early Booking at least 60 days out, 5% for long stays and 10% on non-refundable rates.
The site runs in English, German, Spanish, Catalan and French. My Senator is free to join and tiered by nights stayed — Plus at 5%, Prime at 8% from 11 nights, and Privilege and Prestige Infinity at 12% — earning 100 points a night, or 150 in a suite, with a free night at 6,000 points. Points redeem at the Spanish hotels and are not earned on stays booked through online travel agencies. Payment is by card, by bank transfer at least five days before arrival, or in cash up to €999.99, and some hotels charge a local tourist tax.
Cancellation is governed by each offer: flexible rates generally charge one night for cancellations inside 24 or 48 hours, tiered offers charge 15% between five and three days out, 25% inside 48 hours and 35% inside 24, and non-refundable rates allow no modifications. Changes are handled by email, WhatsApp or phone. Independently, Senator Puerto Plata holds 4.3 on TripAdvisor across about 3,700 reviews and 7.6 on Booking.com, Senator Cádiz 4.1 across about 1,900 and Playasol 3.7; the group-level Trustpilot profiles are small, at 26 reviews combined, with booking and cancellation the recurring themes. It suits travellers booking direct for Spain or Puerto Plata; join My Senator first and book now.

About this review
How this was written, who paid for what, and how the verdict stays independent.
Is this Senator Hotels & Resorts review sponsored?
No. Senator Hotels & Resorts did not pay for this write-up, see it before publication, or have any say in the verdict. If we earn anything it is a commission after you buy, and it comes out of the merchant’s margin rather than your price.
How was the Senator Hotels & Resorts assessed?
By using it and by checking the claims made about it against what it actually does. Where our time with something has been limited, the review says so rather than implying more testing than happened.
What else have you reviewed in Travel & Tours?
Everything in Travel & Tours sits in the review library, where you can filter by budget and sort by rating, price or how recently it landed.
Do you update reviews after publishing?
Yes — when a product changes, when a price moves for good, or when we get something wrong. Corrections are made on the piece itself with a note saying what changed.
