Tivoli Apartments

My girlfriend and I stayed in the Tivoli Apartments for a week from 17th-24th June. Even though they are pretty basic, they are fairly spacious (much larger than many of the other places I've stayed in Ibiza) with TV and air conditioning. Our air conditioning wasn't working, but after reporting this to reception it was fixed the next day. The location of the apartments is very good - a minute's walk from the beach and the shops and about 10 minutes walk from Bora Bora and Space. We booked the Tivoli apartments through expedia for about £140 for the whole week which was absolutely fantastic value for money. Didn't use the pool there so, I can't comment on that, but if you want a good base that's ideally situated for the beach, the bars and everything else that Ibiza has to offer, then I would definately recommend Tivoli.

Was quite worried about these apartments after reading some previous reviews but when we arrived in the middle of the night we had no problems with our booking at all. We had 3 apartments booked each for 4 people. The apartments were basic but very comfortable however with only 2 rings and a fridge it would be very difficult to cater for 4 people. The apartments and pool were clean and there were plenty of sunbeds and some parasols. There is a small supermarket on the site with bars and shops close by. Opposite is Graham and ?Lisa's bar where the food was good (much better than paying for breakfast in the apartments that at 5.50 euro was not worth it) The beach is close and Ibiza Town is only 10 minutes away by taxi costing 10 euros each way. We only paid £22 per night for each of the apartments and as far as I'm concerned these apartments were a bargain. As someone has said it can be quite lively at night and I probably wouldn't take children in high season.

Having arrived extreemley early in the morning we were horrified to be told "sorry no available rooms left ".Having just spent half the night traveling from England they were not the most welcome words.I explained that we had booked via an English tour company ,Suncentre,and placed a reservation at the Tivoli but the only answer given was you can't stop here its full. My only advice , if you want to stop here , don't book.

I reserved this hotel about 6 months in advance. When we showed up we were told that they had our reservation, but that they had already booked all of the rooms. I don't know if they understood that the point of making a reservation is to reserve a room. They shuttled us off to another hotel (Apartamentos Playa Sol II) which ended up being a lot farther away from where we wanted to stay and pretty unsatisfying. I will not reserve another hotel through Grupo Playa Sol.

We arrived as a group that had all booked their 4 rooms on the same day through the same website (expedia). I had called the hotel two days before to make sure the reservations were fine and to arrange for rooms on one floor at which point the person at the reception who spoke neither English, French or German told me in what little spanish I understood that there was no reservation at all. This was a little funny as I had already received a confirmation mail from the hotel. Recomfirmation with expedia who told me they had sent out another fax to them. On the day of arrival some reservations were there some weren't. So part of our group was put up in a hotel nearby for one night , were the rooms were even more basic than at the Fiesta Tivoli. Beds were terrible. If you are a couple and might consider sleeping together, forget it. The single beds are so flimsy that you spend all the time trying to push them back togeher. Rooms were very simple if spacious, furniture was old and tattered and looked like Ikea on a bad day. Cleanliness was ok, and the pool actually nice enough. To be fair some of the staff at the reception were trying to make an effort but some of them were simply inadequate and busier talking to their friends than taking care of guests. All in all a bargain at 55 Euro and the location is great for the clubs of playa d'en bossa but would definitely not stay here again.

nice staff, clean, spacious rooms with living room, kitchen and balcony. 7th floor with a view of the ocean is best. the noisy part comes when the InViaggi entertainers do their show for the Italian youth... loud music in the morns and the evenings. food is not the best, except for Paella night & bfast. easy access to the beach, though. 5-10 walk to Bora Bora and Space.

Please note before booking a stay at the Tivoli - If you are a light sleeper stay away from this place. The road outside is a racetrack for scooters, cars with stereos on full blast are driving up and down all night and most annoyingly the doors to the rooms do not have "swishers" so they bang like crazy, reverberating round the whole place. I was maybe unfortunate to stay when the place was full of young Italians, but it was unbearable. And by the way, I'm in my 20's and went to Ibiza for Pacha and Space, I am not a moaning oldtimer! On the plus side, although the rooms are shabby, they are of a good size with decent balconies, and the pool area is very clean. The Sat-TV is only good for Sky news and the air-con is average at best. John, September 2005

These apartments are very clean ( maid service every day) and the staff are so friendly it made our stay a holiday to remember, I envy anyone who has book to stay at the Tivoli Apartment because i think they take some beating.

the tivoli is the best appartment to go to we have been every year since i was 12 and i am now 22 the staff r fantasic you are right on the beach and you have just a main street and everything is on it from pubs to restruants shops and even kfc. you area taxi ride from ibiza town which is fantasic the auqapark is brill u go at 9 in the morning and dont come out till 5. yeah its a lively resort but the clubs are futher away and all you get near and around the appartment are familes and just the usuals. i would highly recommend people to go it must be good for us to go every year with out fail we are going again this year the last 2 weeks in august and can not wait any question please email me and i will be happy to tell you more of help. thankyou and if you go enjoy smiggy5782@aol.com

We stayed at the Tivoli apartments in June 2004, we found then very clean and spacious. The apartments have separate bedroom, fridge, full gas cooker and most importantly air con. Having 2 small children we found that the balconies weren't a problem as they had high front and sides. It's the 4th time we has been to Playa D'en Bossa, but the first time self catering. The on site supermarket had excellent choice and the staff very friendly. We didn't eat in the on site cafe, but it did look clean and popular with other residents. Playa D'en Bossa is an excellent resort for families whatever taste you have, that's why we have booked to go back to the Tivoli apartments again in 2005. I would hesitate to recommend the resort or the accommodation.
