My boyfriend and I stayed here for a week. The room looked dingy when we arrived and the lights flickered like something in a horror film, but in the daylight the next morning it looked a lot nicer - comfortable enough and clean, what we'd expect really. We found that the air conditioning cooled the room very quickly but if left on began to blow hot air, so you couldn't leave it on all night, as it would also then start to smell funny, which led to a lot of waking up in the early morning boiling hot and having to put it back on, wait for the room to cool down and then turn it off to sleep. We should have complained about this but never found the time, so to be fair they might have mended it if we'd asked. The fridge came in handy, but the hob really didn't work properly as one ring didn't heat up at all and the other took half an hour to get warmish. It wasn't much of a problem though as we weren't planning to cook on holiday.
The pool was lovely with a fantastic view out to the bay and we didn't have any problems getting sun loungers, the bar area by the pool was always busy and cheerful. This is definitely a gay-friendly area, most of the guests were gay couples. There were no children at all when we were there so far as I could see.
The woman on reception when we arrived was really cold and unhelpful, she directed us to our room by saying it's outside and to the right, when actually it was across the road past the pool and down some steps, and she didn't tell us there was a remote for the air conditioning or anything helpful at all. We saw some other guests looking confused about how to find their rooms as well, so we obviously weren't the only ones to get this treatment. She also said they would keep our passports for the first night in the safe for security reasons, and we thought that would be more secure than leaving them in the room, so we left them at reception for the week - but when we asked for them back as we were checking out she took them out of a cubby hole in the wall - not secure at all! However we found that other staff were friendly.
The location is great, it's set on top of a hill and at the bottom of the hill is the beach, there are steps right down to the beach if you go slightly past the main reception up the hill, and loads of restaurants and bars down on the beach. If you go down the other side of the hill, you're only ten minutes walk from Placa del Parc with lots more restaurants and bars and only a couple of blocks from the harbour with its nightlife and boat trips and the medieval town of Dalt Vila. Ibiza Town is a lot smaller than it looks on the maps and nothing within the town is really very far away on foot from the hotel.
The food in the bar was a bit rubbish, they do a small selection of mainly British-oriented bar snacks such as hot dogs and cakes and ice lollies, but we were mostly out and about so weren't planning to eat there and only had a few snacks and we tried breakfast once. The scrambled eggs at the bar are not scrambled! They are basically a tasteless solid omelette mashed about a bit and the orange juice is not fresh, unlike everywhere else in Ibiza.
On balance, it was pretty much what you'd expect from a cheapish hotel and we enjoyed our stay. I'd complain about the air conditioning next time though.
Room Tip: I think rooms overlooking the pool would be noisy, the bar is busy until at least 2am.
