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.

We have previously visited the hotel and this year we felt the standards had dropped considerably it had lost its sparkle and sadly we won’t be visiting again as feel there are far better quality properties in the area. Upon entering our room 4th floor (Deluxe room) we noticed a strong drain smell, throughout our stay this smell seemed to fade then returned on a daily basis - we felt the room was tired and could have done with a real deep clean. Balcony furniture very basic, holes in net curtains. Hotel itself has lost its sparkle staff seemed miserable in pool bar area, like everything was an effort and they just didn’t want to be there certainly no smiles!!! We always prefer to relax on the area next to the sea as opposed to round the pool, my goodness it was filthy, loungers and lounger cushions an absolute disgrace stained, old and quite frankly very unhygienic- the cushions are stored in a hut area don’t think they have ever been cleaned!! Evening entertainment left a lot to be desired. Sadly we won’t be returning we love the resort but felt let down by the hotel.

L’accueil est chaleureux et le service efficace . Le personne est adorable. Le buffet très copieux et de qualité. La literie très confortable. La situation est exceptionnelle en front de mer, le jacuzzi et la piscine très agréables , le restaurant autour est très sympathique et appreciable On se sent vraiment bien. Tous les soirs nous avons eu un spectacle musical différent et de grande qualité. Le centre est à 2 pas avec le port et la belle promenade animée de restaurants , de bars et la plage. On reviendra c’est certain Merci pour ce superbe séjour de 1 semaine

Très bon accueil très propre cadre et vu incroyable petit déjeuner très copieux rien a dire beaucoup de choses à faire au alentour. très calme personnel très agréable location de vélo de voiture ect...sur place je recommande très bon séjour....

This was a return visit for us. Staff are amazing. They can’t do enough. Francis on reception was so helpful when we wanted to change rooms. No fuss made. Christian is always around to chat to and help with anything. Dulce was just lovely the way she looked after our room with her friendliness and cheerful smile. Everywhere is exceptionally clean. All the restaurant waiters and waitresses are so busy keeping the tables cleared but still have time to chat to you. Pablo the chef’s food was delicious and plentiful. Dari, entertainment manager is adorable. Dancing, Pilates, yoga, Pétanque, aquarobics he does the lot with so much energy and a huge smile. Jose was rather lazy, just working out his contract I felt. The setting is amazing. Some mornings work started at marina before 8 and it was a bit noisy but not too intrusive We will be booking again.

Lovely week half board package at the Ses Estaques. My videos of the hotel ( taken with staff permission) and Santa Eulalia are on Youtube for anyone interested. Beautiful picturesque setting and easy flat walk to harbour and town/ sandy beach. Loved relaxing on the sun beds next to the sea. Plenty of activities going on around the pool if you want them. Evening entertainment very popular! Clean, comfortable and friendly hotel. Guests were mainly returning seniors from the UK. Food tasty and enjoyable. I was told further refurbishment is due for 2025 season and although a bit dated, our “ twin room with partial sea view” 538 was absolutely fine, comfy beds/ pillows, good hot constant shower ( bit of an obstacle course to get in!) nice cold fridge, very modern air con. No digital safe though…small keyed box costs 3 euros per day. Tourist tax 3.30 euros each per day.. Transfer from airport - we were first off on arrival and last to be picked up on return. Ibiza airport was busy but ok, they have the new scanners in security so no need to take items out of bags. Santa Eulalia was as beautiful as when we were there the same week in 2019, although perhaps a little less vibrant and a few places closed down sadly. Weather very warm with strong winds at times and a fair bit of cloud, nice for walking about but hot enough to be in the water! We had a great holiday at the Ses Estaques Adults Only and would very happily return.

Very well run hotel, spotlessly clean, efficient and friendly staff, very good value also. Special mention to Nikki at reception, and the pool bar team including Manuel, Jose, Jaume, Fernanda and Pablo. Always a nice feature to have an omelette option at breakfast!
