Catalonia Ses Estaques - Adults Only

Lovely hotel in a fabulous location with amazing views. The service at the hotel is excellent, staff are very helpful, friendly and professional, especially the reception and pool bar staff. The location is really good, right on the seafront with stunning views of the coastline. It is also close walking distance to the marina with lots to see and do there. The pool area is very nice, I did slip coming down the ramp from the jacuzzi to the pool area, suffered a black eye and bruised ribs but the staff were really caring and helpful. The rooms are nice and some good communal areas. The evening entertainment was very good a couple of nights, Ricky G and Disco Divas. The restaurant was nice, staff good, but in the morning the drinks machines kept breaking down when full and seemed located in tight spaces. The food was good although quite similar most evenings. Chef did cook some vegetables especially which was much appreciated. Shout out to Dari (entertainment) and pool bar staff Jose and Manuel. Thank you for a lovely holiday, we will be back.

Been going to this hotel for years and seeing the lovely staff we regard as friends was always something we enjoyed, but this year was different. Everywhere you looked was rundown and in need of some love, hallways and stairways are terrible and look like they have been decorated by 10 year olds, rooms have been untouched for many years and to call this hotel a platinum is an insult !!! it's 2 star at best, the restaurant in the evenings had no linen napkins after the first sitting , and even on our last 4 evenings had no desert plates, and even deserts were very limited, I know it was end of season but the hotel was full so they cannot use that as an excuse, everything was just not good enough, and as mentioned by another guest sunbeds and sunbathing area is filthy. It seems as though Catalonia only see this hotel as a cash cow and does not care about their clients. My wife and I will not be returning, an opinion shared by other guests whilst we were there. The new Manager and her sidekick should perhaps walk around the hotel and look at what needs doing rather than standing around smoking and avoiding interaction with guests. Whilst there this October we visited nearby hotels as we intend to return to the area but not Ses Estaques.

This hotel is perfectly located, close to all amenities whilst offering beautiful views & a sense of tranquility. I was in a little apprehensive about my room before visiting as I was aware from other reviews & images that some rooms & parts of the hotel are dated & in need of renovation. I was very pleased to be given a newly renovated single room which exceeded my expectations. It was spacious & very comfortable with gorgeous views (& sounds) of the lovely Ibizan sea. I enjoyed some gorgeous sunrises from my room which was lovely to wake up to. Staff give a warm & friendly welcome & are very helpful providing lots of information & recommendations on things to see & do on your holiday. Food & service in the restaurant was good overall. The restaurant opposite the beach (part of the hotel group) is divine & the food & service are excellent so I would highly recommend a visit there during your stay. I did not join in on any of the activities but the staff leading the entertainment both seemed very friendly & they mixed well with the guests making everyone feel welcome. There are several solo travellers so you feel perfectly safe & comfortable in this hotel alone & it has a nice relaxed atmosphere. Parts of the hotel are showing signs of age, however I understand it is in the process of being renovated & if the room I was given is anything to go by, I expect it will look wonderful once all parts of the hotel are completed to match the Ibiza vibe. Housekeeping was a little inconsistent but a quiet word with reception ensured anything they missed was addressed so no major issue. There are beautiful walks either side of the hotel as well as all the shops & restaurants behind. The bus service is reliable & an affordable way to explore the Ibiza town & other sights. Overall a lovely holiday & for location & the friendly staff, I would definitely recommend this hotel.
