The beach was nice. The restaurant SOUTH was great. The manager DEborah and the barman, were very kind and helpful.
I didnt like all the towels hanging from the balconies. It looked shabby. The rooms had a lot of hummiditi smell.

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.

Gorgeous location , very friendly and lovely staff
Could use better upkeep,
I wouldn’t stay there again !
windows a bit dirty
Balcony bars coming apart in the higher rate room
Was taking a nap when someone opened my door and claimed it was their room … it was really frazzling and disturbing .
Friendly staff except for the bike rental lady. Loved the free bicycles.Classy property. Excellent views of the ocean and island. Simple use of local buses.
No value for money.. I must admit the staff is wow
The crew is nice and kind! That’s the best and only in this hotel... bed awful, rooms little, facilities basics and old fashioned with no maintenance, location less than average,

The price was good, but overall average property
The ambiance was not great and the quality of food was really poor. Overall, the hotel could use a bit of upgrade.
No air conditioner for the whole stay. Could not sleep for 2 days

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.
Like most things about the hotel
We ve been before
Not so happy that no English speaking non news tv
Entertainment not as good as in previous years
No bands or professional standard musicians
Tv location in room not good
Seating under Tv so couldn’t watch
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.
Sehr schönes und sauberes Hotel, freundliches und hilfsbereites Personal, wir haben kostenfrei ein Upgrade für das Zimmer erhalten, hatten einen wunderschönen Blick auf den Pool und das Meer, sehr leckeres Frühstück, nur das Essen an der Poolbar war nicht zu empfehlen. Ansonsten alles top!
Hotel datato ma di lusso ,pulizia eccelsa ,personale gentilissimo,ottima presenza di servizi nei dintorni. Parcheggio facile

La struttura risulta in condizioni accettabili, sicuramente da migliorare l’arredo nelle camere, la gestione della pulizia e riordino dell’area colazione/ristorante
Nosotros estuvimos en un estudio. No estaba mal, las camas eran cómodas y el baño correcto y el buffet de desayuno interesante. 4 cosas que no me gustaron: 1. Nos dirigimos en catalán y nadie del personal nos respondió en catalán..en un lugar donde el catalán es uno de los idiomas oficiales. Tampoco las comunicaciones en el comedor (de las mesas) y de las habitaciones estaban en catalán. 2. Tratándose de un hotel en una isla como Formentera creo que se podría potenciar más la parte de información ambiental. Ya hay algunos datos genéricos pero…la isla requiere de sus establecimientos más sensibilización ambiental. 3. Escuchábamos a los de la habitación de detrás de la nuestra. Si tienes unos vecinos tranquilos no hay problemas. 4. La taza del water es alta y sinceramente…bastante incómoda si no mides más de 1,90.
Por lo demás , correcto, piscinas, servicio de habitaciones muy atento y amable, piscinas , animación etc…

La struttura non è da 4 stelle e soprattutto il mare dell’albergo nero di alghe! Avevo scelto questa struttura per la vicinanza del mare ma purtroppo ho sbagliato a valutarlo! Prezzo alto per aspettative basse
