After an amazing time in June, we decided to close our summerbreak with another trip to Ibiza in October. The summerweather in Holland left a lot to desire.
Since the first time we stayed in de Sant Antoni area, we decided to stay somewhere else on the island. Plus we knew that in October the island is closing down and much of the party crowd / summer tourist are gone.
After a lot of searching we decided to stay at Hotel Miami on halfbroad base as it is our favourite way for staying at the hotel. Plus we rented a car, because it is very easy to drive on Ibiza and we already knew where our beautiful and tranquil beaches are.
To keep it short:
Food: Compared to the other hotel we stayed in Ibiza a few months earlier we were a bit dissapointed in the offering of the food. The choices were kinda limited. Catering mostly to families. Which most of the guests are. Simpel, bland dishes to choose from. Maybe we were too spoilt with the first hotel. However I must say that the dishes that were available which I found not boring were satisfying. My partner in the other hand was not pleased with the offering. And while the breakfast was almost exactly the same every day I did not get tired of it. Juices were from the machine which I personaly do not like.
Location: Es Canar lovely tourist resort town, October very laid back and quiet. The the entire island in general. Enough restaurants to satisfy all budget if you are not staying all inclusive.
Room: Good size, nice balcony clean bathroom. No complain. They could put a bigger TV, but not complaining since we only were there to sleep and shower.
Service and staff: Excellent cant fault no one at the Miami. All were nice and very talkative. Maybe because I can speak fluent spanish played a role or that my partner was handsome guy;-) (sparkling blue eyes and blond hair)
Do the effort and walk about 10 to 15min towards Cala Nova (it's a beach), the water, beach and enviroment is so much better than the one in front on the hotel. We did not discover this Cala during our first trip but fell in love with it, the minute we were there. Cala Nova is splitted between two Cala's and the one further (as you walk over a rocky path) has the best spots to relax! The white Restaurant you come across going to the 2nd part serves some delicious burgers serves some great burgers!! Check the pic!
June and October are nice months to go. June is the island more active and lively while October is more laid back. However in October it was easier to come in contact with locals on the beach than in June. Also October while the water is a bit cooler than in June and summer months it is still lovely to swim. However the sun does set around 5 or 6pm. The island cools off at night. One night it was very breezy as a storm was passing over the island!
Never the less both are great periods to visit!
