“Awesome parties, mediocre hotel.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 September 2011
1
person found this review helpful

This hotel tries to accomplish too many things and, unfortunately, succeeds at few of them - restaurants, hotel, beach club, pool club, etc. The overall service, in particular, was nowhere near on-par of similar pricing on the island. The check-in/check-out was, in fact, fairly slow as echoed per previous reviews, but I'm in no hurry on vacation so not a problem. Had no problems with security either, though we were not trying to sneak in alcohol or otherwise violate fairly common-sense resort protocol.

The hotel itself is brand-new: a positive considering things like cleanliness of the pool, terrible when considering the training of the staff and fit/finish of the bathroom, for example, with a vent falling off the wall and basic ammenities missing: a bottle opener? (standard fare with a mini-bar). By no means 'vacation-destroying' items, but when considered in the general pricing of the hotel, certainly lacking in value. Training-wise, lots of odd nuances: Staff #1 "This bar is closed, you have to buy drinks in the restaurant" Ok, great, off to the restaurant then. Bartender: "This bar doesn't serve drinks, you have to go to [fill in the blank]" Wait, what? - those types of issues.

The main complaints are all service-related: excruciatingly slow beach-bar service, inattentive waitstaff, etc. The redeeming feature, however, are the day-beds available on the beach - note you do NOT have to be a hotel guest which is in fact my recomendation: stay elsewhere, pay the 7 euro per bed to chill on the awesome day-beds, and then pay the entry fare if there's a show you want to see - Swedish House Mafia topped the week. The parties are definitely awesome, but much better value proposition enjoying the beach-beds, paying the cover for the parties, and staying elsewhere. As is typical in Ibiza, if you can drag yourself out of bed early (say 9 AM), no problem at all finding either a pool-side lounger or a beach-bed. Party late, get up early, then afternoon nap it when the crowd shows up - that's how it's done. I will mention I speak fluent Spanish - the language barrier was not the cause of the service issues but rather a combination of new, inexperienced, inattentive, clueless, and just plain lazy/incompetent staff. Stay elsewhere through next season while they work out the service issues.

“THE place to stay in Ibiza”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 September 2011

After reading the negative reviews on the hotel I was slightly nervous about having booked my stay there. But I couldn't have had a better experience. The service was impeccable from check in to check out, and all the staff were so friendly and helpful. We had no problems with aggressive security - all of them were perfectly nice.

Our room, one of the suites, was incredible and we were even given bubbly and cakes on arrival!! The only negative was that the app you need to download for the iPod speakers took over a day to download - meaning no music in our room for ages!

The pool was beautiful, but not enough loungers for everyone which is quite frustrating. The hotel also allows guests to leave towels on the loungers toreserve them - not exactly fair when other guests have to sit on the floor while loungers sit empty.

But the parties - UNBELIEVABLE! We went to Defected on Saturday night, which started at 5 and continued until midnight. The DJs and sound system were fantastic, they put on a great show with male and female burlesque dancers on the stage and podiums and the atmosphere was electric. By the end there were even loads of people dancing in the pool.

A true Ibiza experience I'll remember forever and I'd definitely return! I'd recommend this hotel to anyone looking for luxury mixed with partying.

“AMAZING!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 September 2011

person found this review helpful

After reading lots of negative reviews i was apprehensive as to what to expect!
Security - Polite, courteous all week. They patrol the full surroundings to ensure know one stopping at the hotel can enter. This made it feel even more exclusive! Never felt safer at a hotel before!
Breakfast - Amazing, best selection ever! Champagne on ice every morning, fantastic range of juices, smoothies & coffees. Massive selection of fresh breads, fruit, yoghurts, cereals etc. Even had caviar with the seafood selections!
Parties - Vagabundos closing party was amazing. More mature age group than in the other clubs, looks fantastic at night and they all finish promptly at 12. Drink prices are around average in comparison to the other Ibiza clubs. Other two parties i didn't go to as they weren't my style of music so can't comment.
Pool - 2 pools, big pool where the parties are held and quieter pool where there were on average around 2 people in the day so great for total relaxation. Main pool has large beds which you can use for free as well as plently of normal beds. Chilled out music on and reasonable drinks prices
Rooms - Amazing but only slight critism is lack of storage space. Shower is unreal and beds are comfiest i have ever slept in! Had a complimentary bottle of Champagne on ice in our room on arrival which was a nice touch!
Beach - Lovely beach area, sunbeds are 7 Euro and large beds are 180 Euro which includes a bottle of champagne! Beach bar food was amazing but a bit pricey!

“The place to be, loved it..”

I was very worried reading the reviews before i went and was dreading it to be honest. All i can say that the management must read these reviews and try to put them right. Slow rude reception; really couldn't have been better, the pool area and the staff; lovely, the rooms, fab,the cocktails; to die for, the security staff, like security staff should be! the breakfast; couldn't be better. Lived it up and will be back next year for longer. The parties were great and if you wanted to finish and go to bed when they ended at 12 you could. GO GO GO!!!!

Room Tip: had ground floor 2009 in the mix of with the parties next the swimming pool,SWEET

“We had a great 4 days here”

I can't really see why some people are moaning about the service. I had read the reviews before so was watching out for issues ... And by the way, my wife and I often stay in 5* hotels so we know what to expect.

Check in

- While the person who checked us in wasn't a world of smiles, the check in was quick and precise. We were taken to our room and they explained how everything works. So far so good.

- The security getting in and out of the hotel is pretty tight but I see that as a positive. Keeps the riff raff out and also keeps your room safe

- On day 3 my wife called the reception for an Iron and 5 minutes later it arrived. They didn't bring an iron board (but to be fair we didn't specifically asked for one) so we did and that arrived 5 minutes later.

- They don't do a drinks server to your lounger, but there is always someone at the bar, and they're very relaxed about you drinking your own drinks at the pool

Parties

The parties are fantastic, and you don't have to pay the club drinks prices. Just nip up to the room and top up your vodka or beer! That said if you're not here to party, stay elsewhere.

Rooms

The rooms are lush, clean and precise and the shower is a sensation.

Loungers

There are plenty of free loungers around the main and second pool and they're extremely comfortable and free towels are available.

Overall I thought it was great for quiet days and lively nights. Will be going back.
