I have been to Ibiza frequently since 1995 (argh! I feel old now) and have stayed in most of the resorts, hotels and private apartments/villas. I like a mix of good restaurants, beaches and the odd club night. Various friends were staying here so we took the plunge.
I was worried about the wannabees and the arrogant owner.....
WRONG! The staff were amazingly friendly and could not do enough for us. We were there for 10 days and although the room was small it was stylish. Sometimes noisy but nothing major. The face of the hotel Jason Bull was lovely and welcoming as were the reception staff. I even had a lovely chilled bottle of cava as a bday surprise left in my room!
The food at the pool is a tad over priced but really tasty. Breakfast is perfectly good too-nice bacon.
The late night bar serves lush cocktails and was funny due to people watching some of the clientle (cainers who were old enough to know better dancing on the bar ha ha).
The neighbouring hotels aren't so pretty but its 2 mins to the beach main walk way from which you can catch a boat for a few euro to Ibiza town- such a pretty view coming into the harbour at sunset. (also boat to Formenterra).
You can also walk to Bossa (yuck!) and Ibiza Town.
Highlight was the disco mirrored bathroom ceiling.
Only complaint is the occassional child spotted by the pool who was with some friends of the workers or locals. Adults only all the time please!!! Oh and when we got home we got an email saying we would be charged for some condoms and sweets from the mini bar...errrrr?!! They made a mistake and quickly refunded us no problems.
Thanks to all the staff, we had a great trip!
