Fiesta San Remo Hotel - S Estanyol - Ibiza

There are a couple of things to bear in mind before you read this review:
- It was late April when we visited and as such, the resort and hotel were very quiet.
- We paid less than £20 pppn for All Inclusive

We had booked for the S’Estanyol complex - basically that means the San Remo and S’Estanyol hotels
and also the Xaloc Apartments. Most guests were given rooms in the San Remo.

The rooms were very spacious even when the sofa bed was set up for our teenager sharing the room.
The furniture and decor was good, mini fridge was free but safe was a little expensive at €3 per day.
No tea or coffee making facilities in the rooms but the flat screen TV was a welcome surprise
although there were limited English speaking channels. Remote for the TV was a €20 deposit.
Sea view rooms had a fantastic view across the bay.
A good-sized bathroom with a Jacuzzi bath (didn’t work on our room but did in 2 others).
Good level of cleanliness but the daily maid service was a little inconsistent. Towels changed
on demand (drop them on floor for clean ones).
Bed sheets not changed in 5 night stay (not that I would at home either !)

The AI drinks were available between 10.00am and 11.30pm in the bar in the San Remo
and were fine considering the price we paid. Estrella Damm lager and local spirits.
Plastic ‘Glasses’ a bit on the small side but there was never a queue so not really a problem.
Nobody seemed to enforce the 2 drinks per person rule I had read about. A good cup of fresh
coffee was available at the bar.

The food let the hotel down a bit - limited choice of mains with a high prevalence of pork.
Two or Three main hot dishes (always one fish), a vegetable dish and mainly chips with the
odd appearance of boiled potatoes. Plenty of bread and salads always available.
Standard desserts - jellies, mousses, cakes, tinned fruits and fresh fruits. Draught wine, beer,
and soft drinks available in the dining room for lunch and dinner.
Breakfast consisted of Bacon (streaky), beans, frankfurter sausages and eggs that varied from
day to day - boiled, fried, and scrambled. Hot drinks and juices available. Usual selection of breads,
pastries, cereals and fruit.

The restaurant manager was a bit bossy - must wear shoes, no prams, drinks into the restaurant
but on the whole the staff were friendly and helpful.

The pool area was small with limited sunbeds - just about coped with the number of people in the hotel.
In peak season I would imagine it would be a nightmare - having said that, the Xaloc across the road
had a large pool area and plenty of beds but the pool was just being cleaned and filled as we
were there.
No sunbeds on the small beach this early but everyone helped themselves to the beds at the S’estanyol pool
and took them on the beach !

No entertainment or kids club but the Pink Panther opposite had a quiz each night and cheap drinks before
10pm for a quick escape.

Would I stay there again - at this price and out of season - a definite YES !
