Ses Savines Hotel

The hotel is very clean and staff really friendly, however... the noise is intolerable and I was in a so called quiet room (if such a thing exists). You cannot get a sun bed by the pool for love nor money as they are covered in towels from the crack of dawn. The beach is lovely but for two sunbeds and an umbrella costs 15 euro a day, the first day the guy tried to con us into paying 15 euro an hour, no chance. On day three the sea water was out of bounds (red flags all along coast) as it was contaminated with sewage, we still were charged full rate for sun beds. At one stage I saw a used syringe float by in the water. Outside the hotel a young chap was leaning against the wall on a daily basis selling his wares (drugs) quite openly, even my young son could see clearly what he was selling. The food was limited to anything English with chips, not a single Spanish dish on the menu. I had to laugh at the battered veg!
Thankgoodness for the lovely staff, they saved the holiday and the weather was fantastic. I won't ever go back and don't advise people to take young children, not if you want them to sleep at any time on your holiday. Sorry Ses Savines, it is the area that lets you down (and some of your guests!!)

don't be tricked when they say 'air con', only the rooms with a sea view get air con the other rooms have to pay for rubbish fans which you have to wait for. bed sheets get made but there never cleaned, some staff are pleasent but the rest don't have a clue what their doing. the only upside to the room i stayed in was the balcony. The food is digusting and i wouldn't advise eating it unless you want the 'runs'.

we are going back for the 11th time this year to our favourite place ever. We love Ibiza and we love seeing friends who we have met at Ses Savines over the years. Our kids have grown up there and they now go back themselves as adults with their friends.
so yes we have heard people say the food isn't good, but I don't agree and compared to what it was when we first went in 1994, it's fantastic and I just love sitting outside on the terrace to have breakfast. The staff are lovely and all know us personally which makes it even nicer. We have stayed in both the hotel and the apartments and enjoy both - you have to accept that if you go to Ibiza especially San An, then you are going to get noise, but it really doesn't bother us and we have never had any problems personally with noisy people coming in at odd times of the night.
so we would recommend it to anyone, it may not be your cup of tea, you may want a bit more luxury, but our holiday is not about how luxurious the bedroom is, it's cleaned everyday, towels are refreshed and so for us it's great.

Brilliant location right on the beach and a 10/15 minute stroll to the town.
Food edible but loads of room for improvement, too British a menu, great if you love chips especially for breakfast although other options are available.
Plenty of shops and eateries surrounding hotel.
Staff friendly and went out of their way to ensure we had adjoining rooms. Cleaners in daily.
Pay the extra for sea view it is really worth it. Sunsets across the bay are amazing
Went 10 years ago and still enjoyed it this time, will go back
you pay extra for air conditioning and/or can hire fans.
Family friendly.
ps. showers arent so good

I think Ses Savines is a very good hotel and is very clean. but the rooms are a little to small but apart from that evrything is supper

i spent 2 weeks in june and 2 weeks in october 2009 at the ses savines,the rooms were clean and a change of towels daily.I think the food is wonderful with a good choice.The staff are very friendly i even know them by name.There is entertainment in the day and evenings and you can also share the Arenal,which is the sister hotel.I am going back again this year in September and looking forward to seeing everyone again.On our second visit we were given a free bottle of champagne,this is how they look after their customers.excellent

I and my wife have stayed at the Ses Sevines several times before so know what to expect.
The hotel is looking rather dated and slightly shabby ,its a 2 star hotel thats all ,nothing more the staff are pleasent enough .
The food can be a bit repetative and its ok nothing special .
My wife is in awheelchair, so as always we are on the ground floor in a adapted room ,which are ample . When we were their last June ,I noticed that the window had been replaced ,after it had been forced by the look of it . We were in bed on night ,early after too many late nights out .when all of a sudden our window was banged and then again ,so I put the room light on and heard someone running .
Told the reception the next morning and spoke to the security gaurd the next night ,whom later that evening chased 3 Romanian guys whom were trying to break into the rooms on the other side of the hotel . So be wary .

The hotel is dated and although we paid more for a sea view, the balcony was always in the shade, which is probably a blessing in the height of summer! We had never been HB before and were amazed at the choice and quality of the food, which was very plentiful. The staff were quite happy but this could have been because it was the last week of the season.
We were in room 103 above the entertainment (which we didn't go to because of the amount of people smoking indoors) and as has been said by a previous poster the beds vibrate and it is very noisy and the smoke permeates up the open stairwell and into the near rooms.
Think I would stay at the sister hotel the Arenal if we were to go again, which is quite unlikely.

My boyfriend and I have just returned from a week half board holiday in Ses Savines hotel... firstly I would like to say that the breakfast was okay although some of it was laced with grease, the dinner was vile I had paella and found a massive hair in it. I did report the paella incident to the head waiter but they carried on serving it anyway! The choice of food served was very odd and i basically ate chips only as that was the nicest thing served.
I would not recomend this hotel if you want to have some sleep after dinner before you go out at night, we got put on the first floor and found that cheesy entertainment music was blasted out so loud that it shook the room from 6 till 12 midnight!.
The rooms were very basic but clean, dont book a wake up call on the day of departure as ours got forgotten much to my annoyance. If you want somewhere to sleep only then this hotel is fine. I have been put off going anywhere that includes food, I would definately stay in the self catering apartments round the corner.
Also be very careful when sunbathing by the pool, a thief with a backpack and cap was stalking my bag in the bushes - thankfully he got disturbed!. Also if you go on a red speed boat trip, dont pay for the photos they are rubbish and they make you pay ten euro per couple - you get the same photos twice complete rip off..

i've been to the ses savines for about 5 years running now and am on my way back there again in the morning for my yearly holiday.
i read the reviews on here and most are generally good, which i have to completely agree with.
lucho, the entertainment man is lovely and i'm looking forward to seeing him again tomorrow, he remembers you from year to year too which is nice.the entertainment itself could do with being over a 2 week period though instead of 1, because they're not really acts that you want to watch twice particularly.
the food is ok, i think, ok, so you can't actually put together much of an actual dinner but there's plenty of choice to be able to fill your plate up with.
i agreee about the man that shows you initially to your table, the first year we were there, he reminded us of dracula, but you just get used to him in the end.
the bar staff are generally very friendly and the maids keep the hotel very, very clean.
air conditioning would be nice but we just hire a fan if it gets too hot.
being on top of the beach has got to be the best reason to keep going back along with lucho, of course.
anyway, will write another review when i return home on the 24th of august.
