Came with my wife kids and parents to my favourite place in the world ibiza!!! As travelling is my job it’s nice to come to my favourite place on a big family holiday for a week and the hotel didn’t disappoint. I’ll start with the very few issues we faced. The hotel didn’t have the best air conditioning so sometimes it would get very hot and stuffy in the room. So much so that my parents moved rooms as there’s didn’t work at all. To be fair to the hotel they upgraded them to a bigger corner room with an amazing view of the med sea. The food was nice but if you’re a picky eater then you may find it difficult to find something to eat. However they have a wide variety of food with different things everyday they also have food there that I have never tried in my life so that was good. Also when checking in a group of young girls came down saying their room had not been cleaned. This annoyed the lady at the check in counter as it was obviously a bad first impression for us and the other family waiting to check in behind us. The lady proceeded to tell the cleaner off in Spanish to the point the cleaner stormed off before returning around 10 mins later apologising and cleaning their room. So bad first impressions. You can also tell the hotel is quite old as some parts were a little bit dated. But nothing was majorly bad or off putting on that behalf. I also think there could be some more music around the pool area as at some points it was quite quiet round the pool which could easily be resolved by investing in a speaker. However apart from them small issues (that most got resolved quickly) I think this was a lovely hotel and not to believe every review that you read. You get a lovely view of the sunset from the hotel which gives it a really nice vibe. The location was amazing as just down the street was a main road that had plenty of bars and shops. It also had one with a bouncy castle live music and a bull machine which was handy as next door was a bar where me my dad and eldest son could each Derby county’s (our teams) first game of the season. It was around a 10-15 min walk from the hotel. They also had many other great bars my favourite being the millennium only being 5 mins away from hotel. If you wanted to get to main San Antonio you could either take a bus from a stop just outside the hotel or by water taxi around 15-20 mins away from hotel ( a ride costing around 5 euros) The shops around were also surprisingly cheap aswell as the products were fairly priced in my opinion. The site was also really clean especially round the pool area and bar. On the pool watch your kids ( if you have kids) around the middle of the pool as that’s where it’s at it’s deepest at around 3 meters deep. They also have acess to the sea on site which is a great place for snorkelling as there’s a lot of coral Reef and fish around there. Just beware of where you stand though because there’s a few sea urchins around the rocks but if you’re careful you will be fine. One of the most annoying things about the hotels is you had to pay for a kettle which was super annoying! The bar beside the pool was really nice with new tables and chairs it seemed Working pool tables around the bar too and they also did some of the best milkshakes I’ve had abroad (not far off some of the best in America) To sum it up Ibiza is my favourite place in the world and I love coming when I do. We also came with jet2 as when I go on holiday I always do as they’re my favourite to travel with. So if you want to go on a budget holiday with your family and have a great time I highly recommend this hotel!!!

“Mixed Bag - But Pleasant Stay”

A mixed bag really., not really sure what I thought of it! We have stayed before., and in comparison, this time it didnt seem as nice. We paid for a Superior Sea View, firstly, if that was the "Superior" I dont think I want to see the standard, and the sea view, was actually a side view, looking at a scruffy apartment block. Meals, the staff in the restaurant are all lovely, the food, breakfast was OK, the coffee was awful, juices were superb, breakfast samey samey., I didnt like the two tiered system where some tables were reserved, almost like a Class system? found this a bit distasteful. Food was nothing special, we never ate lunch there at all, but evening meals were uninspiring, looked like school dinners for the want of a better word. The Bar., this was the biggest disappointment from the last time we stayed., drinks were awful, I only drink white wine or Cava, both were so cheap and nasty that I ended up buying my own from the Supermarket all week, despite being all inclusive., entertainment was pretty dire, the chap that sings was excellent, we have seen him before, but the dancers they had were just awful. The Lifeguard is an absolute Diamond, lovely guy and very friendly and helpful, hes an asset to the hotel., as for the Mum and Son Tag team! well, I just dont know what to say, maybe they were fed up as it was nearing the end of the Season? They were both surly and abrupt, they sometimes chose to ignore you, and made me feel quite uncomfortable at times with their attitude. Cleaning in the hotel was fabulous, I must say, our apartment was cleaned lovely, and beds changed and towels too regularly. I was surprised this time, how many stag and hen parties we encountered at the Hotel, they will say they dont allow them, but they do! All in all, as with everything, prices have crept up this year, and for what we paid to stay, I dont thing it was great value unfortunately.., its very tired looking now, and really needs an overhaul to keep it up to date.

The hotel has a good location..the pool and sea just off the wooden jetty are good..although the steps into the sea disappeared...mid holiday. Not many sunbeds which were very uncomfortable and umbrellas around the pool...at the top end it got very sandy underfoot. There was no sunbed hogging and we always got beds in the morning. The hotel room I had was very tired and needed updating..a lot of the furniture was damaged and fixtures damaged.. our view was not good but I didn't pay for a sea view... I found the food OK.. I could always find something to eat and although not always hot there was a microwave you could heat it up in.. The view of the sunsets at night were amazing. The staff in the restaurant always smiling and helpful. The hotel advertised as a family hotel but unfortunately mid week we did get some groups of young adults obviously using the hotel as a base..they did swear and vape around the pool and one day I did have to move my family because of this. The hotel staff I felt worked very hard...maybe a good refurbishment on the rooms in the block we were in and it would be perfect and kept as a family hotel.
