Hotetur Montemar Apartments Reviews
" Cala Llonga is Great "
Submitted By: lilacpurplepigOur holiday was spoiled somewhat by our apartment though. The Montemar is at the top of Kilemanjaro via Everest - No Joke - check the address. We practically needed oxygen after climbing the hill in the heat and we are youngsters (40's). When you reach the Montemar depending on which block you are in you could have way in excess of another 20 steps to go up.- we were in block I right at the far side of the complex. Had a lovely large terrace - no sun til late afternoon though. Inside however the furniture was battered and tired. The kitchen very basic, Microwave, toaster, 2 rings, 1 frying pan 1 saucepan. 1 Plug so couldn't toast and microwave at same time. The bathroom was in need of complete refurb - cracked sink . The we come to the toilet - flushed once when we arrived and then gave up - took 5 visits to reception over a 24 hour period before it was fixed. Shortly after the water went off for the first of several times over the next 2 days. When the water came back on - it started to pour out of the back of the toilet - we had to put a saucepan under it. They fixed that quickly but then it would only flush around once a day and still leaked. I advised our rep, who said she would have a word but no more was done about. Not wanting to spend my whole holiday complaining in reception we gave up and flushed it by using the saucepan full of water. The Ceiling fan in our room wobbled so violently when on we were scared to use it for fear of it falling down. The pool area is great and sports facilities good too. Lots of guests were all inclusive. We felt the drinks from the pool bar were very expensive. We had clean towels every other day and sheets once after a week - but these were just left on our balcony and I put them on. The floor wasn't moped or swept by the maid at all whilst we were there. The bedside spotlights are quite dangerous too - getting very hot - our daughter accidently leaned on it and got a nasty burn. I accept that these apartments are only 2 star/key but we have stayed a lots rated the same but these were the tattiest and worst equiped. Visit Cala Longa but not the Montemar.

Submitted By: Angi2205We looked for an apartment by using google some weeks before the begining of our holidays.
The booking was very easy (for me it was the first time to book accommodations via internet).
The choice was very good!
The apartment Montemar in Torrox-Park is very beautiful. It is a 2-bedroom-apartment with a great balcony from which we had a wonderful view to the sea and the mountains.
A good place for quiet and recreative holidays.

Submitted By: Mr N RichardsThe hotel is situated about 10 mins from the beach, however the areas are named after mountain ranges so there is a steep climb. Anyone with walking difficulties would really struggle with this, something to think about even with pushchairs, not impossible, but the hotel is surround by pine trees and residential roads so there is only one way to and from the hotel.
One of the common problems of when going abroad is people feel the need to put towels out on sunbeds at 7.30am.....and then not use them all day. Montemar is no different so for people/familes who wanted to spend the day by the pool and missed "The towel run" you would have been forced to sit on the plastic chairs.
As we were self catering I can't comment on the hotel food, we found numerous bars and places to eat, you will not be dissapointed with the choice and the quality. I would recommend the "up and in" opposite the little fairground. There is a little SPAR by the hotel and they have all that you could need really, self catering or not.
The beach is a blue flag beach and is really great the water is clear and shallow enough the kids so you will not have a problem there. I highly recommend the taxi ferries that run from the beach to a number of locations, you must go to the old town of Ibiza, and Santa Elulalia, then over at Es Cana there was a hippy market on one of the days.
We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Montemar, there is a life guard on pool duty, the entertainment in the evening is the usual thing which finishes about 11.30, the entertainers try to do various things for children.
Other reviewers had problems with ants and various problems, I wouldn't say theses are unfounded as I heard a couple talking to others saying they had to be moved because of the ants and the other couple had problems with hot water. That said I still think it is a good hotel, internet cafe and reception is open 24 hours, pay phones and the pool is clean.

Submitted By: Mrs S VinallOur room was in a fantastic location just above the sea and the pool. The hotel was very Spanish and put on an excellent New Year's Eve Party for the locals but included all the hotel guests with dancing to a live band and as much wine and cava as we wanted. We liked the fact there were a whole range of nationalities staying there.
The food was fine and there was a microwave provided if anyone wanted their food piping hot. We tended to enjoy 8 Euros 3 course meals with wine included at various restaurants at lunch-time anyway.
The hotel is well placed for buses into Santa Cruz from where you can get buses all over the island. Santa Cruz is a lovely city with the best sandy beach on the island, Playa de Teresitas, just a short bus-ride further on. It is a very pleasant walk into the town of Candelaria which is very local and very friendly.
The bar/restaurant just next to the hotel on the promenade has excellent food. The man working on reception was very helpful and spoke good English.
Well done!

Submitted By: Mrs C E McCabeI have given the apartment 7 because 3 things let them down:
1) The maintenance of the apartment. The 1 bed apartment badly needed refitting and modernising. It had been painted recently but the sliding wardrobes in the bedroom didn't slide. It really needed a new bed or beds as the bed was smaller than a double and we constantly rolled together as the mattress had seen better days.
The kitchen cupboards were also in quite a state, the kickboards were disintegrating at both ends and the worktop was broken and had pieces missing out of it. The fridge was so bad we complained (broken compartments, rusty, and a collection of dead ants squashed to the door seal NICE!) and they did replace it on the 2nd day, but only when we made a fuss.
The bathroom, for some strange reason they had painted the inside of the bath, every time we had a shower more of the paint came off and the toilet didn't work properly, maintenance came out, but it kept breaking we learnt how to fix it ourselves!
2) Cleaning of apartment. Our apartment had been cleaned sometime before we checked in, and I ended up sweeping entire apartment as the floor was dirty. The cleaners came every other day , sometimes every day towels were changed and bins were emptied, not once in the whole stay did they mop the floor or clean the toilet and sink. So the cleaning was not up to standard. The rest of the complex was clean and tidy though.
3) We would only in future book accommodation with air conditioning. The bedroom had a ceiling fan which was great but we could have done with AC throughout. We knew it didn't have AC but they could really do with investing in it.
For what we paid I couldn't really complain and we just got used to it after a couple of days, but the apartments would really benefit from some investment. We had requested an apartment near the lower part of the complex and a room above ground floor level.
We got both of these and the staff around the complex and in reception were always polite and helpful. We were in G block but on the top floor, 40 steep steps up, we are fit but be warned the complex is up a hill and is then set in the side of the hill and there are steps everywhere.
We didn't eat in the restaurant and the facilities were a bit limited for self catering, we managed breakfast and sometimes made rolls up for lunch. We ate out most nights in and around Cala Llonga and had lots of nice meals.
The beach is lovely as is the area around the pool which is also pleasant with plenty of beds, but it’s a real sun trap!
We hired a car for 3 days with BK Auto Rentals which I booked online before we went. They turned up on time and we had no problems and actually got a better car than we expected. It was much cheaper than booking in resort and they dropped it off and picked it up. There was a charge for this but it still made it cheaper that hiring a car in the resort.
All in all a nice holiday. I think we'd go back to Ibiza and maybe the Montemar if it had some money spent on it. It is a lovely Island and we had great relaxing time.

Submitted By: Mrs K M SharpeThe setting is very pretty, the hill these apartments are on is called KILIMANJARO - not a problem for reasonably fit people, but for the elderly or disabled a definite no-no.
The resort is lovely and good for families with young children. The beach is lovely and the resort very clean with the usual family orientated activities available.
Zebra restaurant is excellent and very reasonable.

Submitted By: dianasteveThe pool is big and there are loads of sun beds which you don’t have to put towels on early. There is a sauna, a jacuzzi and tennis courts which cost 12 euros an hour.
The towels are changed every day and sheets every week. There is a poolside bar and a lovely restaurant which is 10 euros for eat as much as you like. The entertainment is great.
All in all, a great place as it’s quiet at night which is nice. The town is good with lots of shops, restaurants and a great sport shop. The buses are handy, every half hour into Elvissa the capital or Santa Elualia, 1.20 euros each you need or two buses to Playa Den Bossa.

Submitted By: Ms C LaveryA few steps but helped work off all the ice -cream. Pool excellent with life guard.
Entertainment for kids but not over the top. Really good holiday would go again.
The staff were friendly and helpful.
The actual location of the hotel is a good walk up hill from the beach, so not ideal for elderly or having to push a pram.

Submitted By: l thomasThe hotel itself was spotless and the pool was large and well maintained. The food was alright although mainly catered for a Dutch client you would certainly not go hungry though with a wide choice of meals and desserts to choose from in the dining room three times a day.
As well as snacks such as burgers, chips and cakes available from 12 till 7 everyday. The all inclusive drink was excellent never any queues at the bar!
The resort was excellent with a wide range of bars and cafes to enjoy along the seafront there was plenty to choose from and I would definitely recommend Barcelona for a day trip you can get the train from the station for 6 euros return another brilliant day out is marine world.
The only down point is that it is a mainly Dutch hotel and therefore the entertainment was centred around that but it was certainly not bad also the hotel wont change your travellers checks for you if you are English but there is a bureau de change just around the corner or the hotel promenade will change them for you (so not really a hassle just a little bit infuriating).
Overall a very pleasant experience one which I wouldn’t mind repeating.
