Think Benidorm, Location ok and that's pretty much it.
Cheap no frills, more for young (and I mean 16-17) groups of friends than families or couples.
Service and staff were so bad it was comical we managed to warm up to the 'Juanita' who was thumping her fist shouting "Wha you want" during taking an order as you were taking her as part of the experience in the end. We arrived few days before start of the season - mistake we'll never make again. Almost everything was closed no life in the island apart from Pasha club.

We stayed here in may 2011. The location was great!! Lots of bars down by the beach so you were never bored! & in the evening it was 5 mins walk to the strip of bars!
The hotel itself is clean. We stayed half board, and there was enough choice for us to choose from! It is very basic, but we didn't stay there all the time and the room was adequate to go back to. Just don't expect 5* luxury! The staff are friendly and helpful. If I ever get a chance to go back to Ibiza to party, and was still on a budget, I would definatly pick the algarb again!!

The hotel wasn't expensive so we weren't expecting the ritz, there was a lack of entertainment, we had to actually complain to get any at all and they booked a dance group that rehearsed there act in front of everyone so when it came to the show we had already seen everything.
The beach was full of seaweed and jellyfish and the pool wasn't chlorine it was just normal saltwater.

The food was ok, after you've been there say 3 days you don't even want to eat there as you get very sick very quickly of the same foods

My biggest gripe was the bar manager, poor english, very rude, and i understand the 2 drink policy but when you have a father on crutches and two small children with you, its not worth queuing three times just for everybody to have a drink.
It wasn't all that bad but i've been on many holidays and this was the worst hotel i ever stayed at

Just 10 minutes from the airport, we arrived here to find the reception friendly, bright and clean. It was a speedy booking in and we were directed to our room through the massive furnished lounge. Our room was fine, no frills and clean. The balcony overlooked the pool and the beach, however was on a flight path. This wasn't a problem for us as we travelled out of season and there were not that many flights and to be honest that sort of thing doesn't really bother us anyway. We left our bags and went down to the buffet restaurant where there was a large selection of hot and cold food, they even had show cooking every meal time with different things being cooked fresh for you in an open plan kitchen. We all thought that this was a nice touch and the fresh stuff was really varied and tasted lovely. Yes there were chips but there was so much choice hat you were not forced to eat them. Unfortunately as we were out of season the entertainment was only on for 2 nights that we were there and it was average, a disco and a michael jackson impersonator. It didn't matter to us but there was no entertainment for the little ones (ours is 16!) so on the evening we saw a few frustrated parents trying to entertain their children whilst indulging too much on the all inclusive booze. The bar closed at 11p.m which was no good for us as we are late starters and unfortunately the bar staff were rude. I know this sounds subjective, but we really did try and were never anything but friendly towards them. On one occasion it rained heavily overnight and we came down to breakfast passed the rather large blankets covering a lot of the flooring in the big lounge as there had been a leaky roof, so I suppose you get what you pay for!.
The beach left a lot to be desired, I wasn't sure who's responsibility it was to clean it directly outside the hotel (apart from the perpetrators themselves) but it was ridiculously unclean, but a short walk away it got better so we spent much of our time on the beach but up the road towards Space nightclub. Platja D'en Bossa is a lovely resort and we would definitely return. We only went all inclusive as it was as cheap as going B&B so we hired a car to explore and didn't feel tied to the hotel really. This holiday served it's purpose: cheap, cheerful, relaxing & a good break from work! A tip would be not to bother booking transfers if you go here as it only cost us 15 euros in a taxi
