A glorious location just 2hrs 20min from Leeds Bradford. Travel to Ibiza initially, taxi 19Eu then to port just a short drive, fast ferry to Formentera ( very Expensive ), taxi to hotel 20Eu Hotel was simply amazing, friendly staff and accommodation was more than we expected, got told we had no sea view, but we did a huge panoramic view of the glorious ocean. All the restaurants including the hotel on the beach restaurant were expensive but the good side was it was all very nice food, had no complaints at all, so I guess you get what you pay for. Breakfast and evening meals had so much choice and it was not repetitive so you were always excited to going up for your meals. The main restaurant was in my opinion in the wrong place, to access it you had a long and steep climb up steps or steep incline to the side of the hotel, so if you are in the accommodation at the top near the reception its a steep climb back to your accommodation from the beach and vice versa if your accommodation is at the bottom its a steep climb to the restaurant. The beach does not belong to the hotel so you have to pay for the deck chairs and umbrellas ( would have been nice to know this before we booked a two week stay is expensive enough without having to then pay for comfort on the beach, plenty of chairs and umbrellas around the pool if you can beat the Germans making a dash for them very early in the Mornings, having to actually be apart of the rush was embarrassing to say the least , but if you don't, don't expect to find too many empty ones. Beach is extremely sandy super crystal clear and was warm you could have been in the Caribbean. We were there for two weeks and found two English couples, mostly the hotel was populated by Germans, who basically thought they had the right to break all the rules, push in and be quite abrupt with each other, the amount of arguments between them in the restaurants was indeed entertaining they simply did not care who was watching and where they where, they also filled water containers up from the water dispensers in the restaurants with CLEAR signs saying not too, and during breakfast most stuffed food into bags and plastic containers and not just the odd bun but pick nick proportions for when they were on the beach, probably due to the high cost of the beach restaurants, it was a shame to see such behavior. All that a side would we go back... most defiantly, we just need to take more spending money next time.

“Relaxed hotel on a quiet spot”

Typical resort hotel, very well managed with excellent staff. Hotel has a main building up the hill, and a smaller building next to the beach.

Typical resort hotel, very well managed with excellent staff. Hotel has a main building up the hill, and a smaller building next to the beach. You need to descend by outdoor stairs to get to the second building, the swimming pool and the beach. I had a good sized room with sea view on the 5th floor of the first building, with nice terrace, and in good condition. Very good food in the main restaurant with large lounge terrace overlooking the sea. Small beach side restaurant. The tennis courts are in desperate need of better tennis balls…
