Monterrey Hotel - San Antonio - Ibiza

Arriving in the early hours of the morning, the true horror of the Monterrey hotel & apartments in San Antonio did not hit us till we awoke later that morning. The toilet had obviously not been cleaned since the previous occupants had left as their remains were still lurking!. As our rooms were only done once in the week, I would give them a rating of zero for cleanliness.

We had to be moved on the first day as our patio door was jammed & the air conditioning was not working so it was unbearable in there. We were then moved to the 3rd floor after constantly complaining only to find out later that in the room we were moved to, the patio door wouldn’t lock at all.

The food was virtually inedible at all it consisted of was Egg fried rice, rock hard chicken nuggets, pasta or chicken nuckles (whatever they are). There was soup which was probably made up from the previous days leftovers, as one tasted like curry with an undertone of fish, which was the previous nights main delight! The only drinks available at breakfast were coffee, that tasted salty, & water that had been flavoured with orange crush. The evening meals had no drinks what so ever, not even water, unless you purchased them from the bar. My friend asked for a cup of tea & was told they couldn’t serve anymore as the water heater was overheating & they had to switch it off.

As for the location, you had to walk up a dark lonely road to get to the hotel at the top of a hill - either that or get a taxi, which was the safer option. The Hotel staff were generally pretty unhelpful except for the poor girl on reception who had to deal with constant complaints all day from most of the guests. There was no entertainment at all except for loud thumping music played constantly at the bar.

As for visiting the Monterrey again, no chance. If I was to rate the place I wouldn’t even award it with a single star rating.
