Reviews and Ratings
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the rooms were comfortable and well-appointed, there were some issues like leaks in the shower and no robes provided. On the bright side, our request for a twin room was accommodated without any explanation. The service, on the other hand, was a disaster with several issues like false information provided. Despite this, we did receive a complimentary drink at the bar. The location is a bit of a mixed bag too; although it looks classy, the hotel is not centrally located, but the nearby bus stop comes in handy. The beachfront setting with Ibiza vibes was cool, though we did feel overpriced at times. Dining was a bit disappointing with limited options, but the top-level club was perfect for unwinding after a long day. Overall, there were some ups and downs during my stay.
The hotel boasts an impeccably designed interior with stunning views of the city and sea, although the TV channels were limited. The service was outstanding, despite minor issues with security policies. The location is superb, with convenient access to taxis and public transportation. The dining experience was excellent, featuring a variety of culinary options. Overall, a great value for a luxurious stay.
The hotel is a mixed bag with some positives and negatives. The rooms are decent in size but may not be ideal for larger groups. The service was a bit inconsistent but had its standout moments. The location offers beautiful views but may feel slightly isolated. The dining experience was a bit overpriced. Overall, a stay with ups and downs.
Staying on the 15th floor had its challenges as we had to insist on the same floor for our family, and the room wasn't cleaned promptly. However, the room did come equipped with a high-end Bose Bluetooth speaker, which was a nice touch.
The hotel had great rooms but were on the expensive side, with a bit of a smoky smell. The location offers stunning Mediterranean views but falls short in the dining department. Despite the dining disappointment, the hotel is ideal for mixing business and pleasure. The facilities are decent, but some aspects were found to be exploitative.
I felt like I was on a mini-vacation the moment I stepped into this hotel. The rooms were well-appointed and very comfortable, giving me that ultimate relaxation vibe. The service was exceptional, especially the Italian staff who were so kind and always had a smile. The location, while not perfect, was still convenient with regular buses right out front. Dining was decent, although a bit pricey. Overall, a great experience with a few minor hiccups.
The hotel offers stunning views of the sea, with comfy rooms and a nice harbor/ocean view. However, the lack of privacy in the bathroom due to a glass partition may not be ideal for couples. The cleanliness could be improved, but overall, the rooms are fresh and pleasant.
I stayed at this luxurious 5-star hotel where we paid a considerable amount for our room. The room was a studio suite on the fourth floor with a decent view, very spacious, clean, and comfy. The staff was young and charming, and the service was generally good. The location, though expected to have better customer service, had its own security guard patrolling the small area. The breakfast selection was good with varied options, and the pool area was well managed. Overall, a high-end experience with a few areas that could be improved.
The hotel rooms are lovely with a nice view facing the sea and port, offering various amenities like electric blinds, mini bar, TV, and music. The service was somewhat inattentive to customer needs but provided essential services. The location is fantastic, especially during sunny days, and the dining experience, while not exceptional, was passable. The facilities were satisfactory with some variation in quality. Prices were reasonable for the services provided.
The hotel offered a good view from the room, although we had to wait an extra hour and a half for it to be cleaned due to a misunderstanding during check-in. The staff were kind and professional, going beyond expectations to make sure we were comfortable. The location, while far from popular sights, was fabulous and easy to reach by bus. The dining experience was wonderful with a wide selection; however, hot food was a bit cold. Overall, a mix of positives and negatives to consider.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with a wow factor view of the ocean but could use a bit of a touch-up in some areas. The service is extremely accommodating, but occasional lapses were noted. The outstanding location right next to the beach provides stunning views, although access to other amenities may require some extra effort. The dining experience offers decent choices, especially the fresh fruits, but might fall short of some expectations. Overall, a comfortable stay with some room for improvement.
I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms were spacious, clean, and very comfy with a decent view. The service was exceptional, and the staff went out of their way to ensure I had everything I needed. The location was superb, right on the beach with a cool Ibiza feel to it. The dining was varied and delicious, although slightly pricey. The facilities were top-notch, making my stay even more enjoyable.
I stayed at the hotel on the 11th floor and found it to have a strange design but a few constructive observations. The rooms were great overall, but the WC being in an opaque glass cubicle was a surprise, along with dim lighting above the wash basin and small bath towels. It was unexpected not to have an electronic 'do not disturb' sign. Despite these issues, the service was superb, with extremely attentive and friendly staff. The location, near a large shopping center, was the only real letdown due to receiving minimal sunlight in the afternoon and not being well explained on the website. The dining experience had some overpriced options but an excellent breakfast.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were very clean and well-sized, with excellent lighting, but there were some issues due to flooding at the property. The service was a bit of a hit and miss, as the staff were attentive but struggled with English and made some mistakes. The location was beautiful with people on the sea shore, yet the hotel was a letdown. The dining experience, which I expected to be fantastic, was overpriced and did not meet the standards of a 5-star hotel.
The hotel offers stunning sea views from the rooms but lacks privacy in the bathroom due to a glass partition. The staff is friendly and helpful, and the dining options are delightful, especially the breakfast spread.
