Friendly staff, but overall hotel seems very stuck in Spanish package holidays from the 1980s. Rooms and public areas desperately need a modern refurb, breakfast buffet pretty standard (OK machine coffee). Gym woefully equipped (not even dumbells and no AC!). Evening entertainment 1970s style Eurovision cringe. Lovely spot by the sea, beach and boardwalk to bars, cafes and restaurants. Nice pool, if that's your thing. Handy little mini supermarket on site. Shame you have to rely on taxis to visit other parts of the island (need more segregated country lanes and a *reliable* bus service, that actually turns up!). Would be good to have more information on sustainability of hotels.

Overpriced hotel without charm. A obvious favourite of packaged tours. Service very mixed with staff clearly worn down and grumpy after a long summer. Some motivated and helpful others clearly not. Room was not cleaned one day and tv and air conditioning. didn't work. View from hotel room over the beach was beautiful. Rooms clean and functional.

Disappointing hotel

A few key issues with our stay: 1- first room we got given was awful. It stank of damp, opened onto a busy ground floor communal outdoor space and was not clean. Finally we managed to move to a room in the same 'category' which was much more amenable. We were very happy for that and appreciate the reception staff who helped. They weren't surprised at our complaint. 2- photos of the hotel on the site include a decent sized fitness centre, however this was closed and you couldn't use it even on a booking basis - I think it's completely gone now although unclear, photos need to be updated on hotels.com 3- breakfast was pretty poor, luckily there are nice restaurants within walking distance. It seems everyone who stays here is on all inclusive. 4- room is called a studio but comes with nothing in the kitchen, no crockery, cutlery or pots and pans.

This is not a 4 star hotel at all, not sure if it is a 3 stars Only one buffet restaurant that opens until 9:30pm No room service If you need an iron you have to go to the front desk, leave a deposit of 50 euros and return it immediately as there is only one iron for the entire hotel You have to go to the front desk to ask for soap and shampoo as the service does not replace If you need towels for the pool make sure you don’t go in any of the breaks of the pool guy in order to avoid waiting 20-30 minutes The worst piece is customer service, they treat people very bad, only one receptionist was very kind, the rest with bad mud and bad manners all the time. The manager is the worst, very rustic treating people, I believe he never had a training on customer service The good thing is that Formentera is so beautiful, so leaving the hotel to go to other beaches was a real pleasure Nothing personal with the hotel, it shouldn’t be categorized as 4 stars, probably 2 or 3 stars will give a more realistic idea of the level of service you are going to receive.

The hotel is not a 4 star hotel. The standard is very low: The majority of the guests come with external agencies and are sold pre made all inclusive packages which, unexpectedly, drive the overall quality of the hotel. The gym has no weights and the indoor pool is a pond. All the sunbeds except the one around the pool are extra. There is a different area for breakfast for more expensive guests. The management is appalling and immature and denies the hotel has issues. The bed sheets stink Although the have refurbished the hotel recently the hallways are pretty stinky. However the place is more suitable for families with kids that like to be entertained by animation. The area is okay and pretty close to everywhere.
