Poniente Apartments

The night staff didnt speak any English and couldn't understand that 2 had arrived on the thursday and the remaining 2 in our party were arriving the next evening. As this was the case we were out into a double room when we booked and paid for 2 double room appartment. This was not sorted until our last day in Ibiza. A hen party that had arrived a group of 13 women were told to come back in 11 hours as there were not enough rooms for them, again they had paid and confirmed all of their rooms. The food was rank and was highly priced for what it was. A few other residents were very young people who thrw stones and large objects from their balcony injuring people who were in th ebar below, again management did nothing when alerted to this. The manager was informed of our situation and was advised would appear shortly but after 3 days we gave up hope and don;t actually think that the manager existed! The pool is not on site and many bags had been stolen while at the pool side - so not safe! To sum up i spent more time at reception than enjoying my holiday and the management of this hotel is dire! They have serious isses that they need to sort before anyone should consider staying here!

I stayed with four friends in an apartment for 4-6 people. We paid £86 each for 10 nights and I think this was excellent value for money. There were some problems, but the price and location balanced these out for me. Security at the hotel was fine, there are deposit safes in the rooms and the balconies are not easily accessible from other apartments. You are given only one key to the room, which is a bit annoying and means there is a lot of banging on doors when people are coming back to their rooms at different times. Reception is manned 24 hours and we were checked in very quickly and easily on arrival at 3am. Staff were for the most part pleasant and polite, but sometimes they would ignore you when you went up to reception, which was a bit odd. The apartment was very clean when we arrived, but maids only came twice in ten days. We had to ask for toilet roll several times and we could have done with clean towels, mopped floors and rubbish taken out. We were in room 309. It has very effective air conditioning and a view towards San Antonio town over the car park at the front of the building. Not a very interesting view, but better than rooms on the other side of the hotel as it faces another building. The apartment opens onto a sort of small room with a wardrobe, and a hallway. Along the hallway there is a shower room with a sink and a separate toilet room with a sink. There are two twin bedrooms at the end of the hallway, each with windows, and the hallway opens into a good sized living room/kitchen with dining table and six chairs, two sofa beds, coffee table, TV (the only English speaking TV channel with sound was CNN) and breakfast bar. Sliding double doors lead onto the small balcony. Each bedroom had a wardrobe, one of which contained the safe, and there was another wardrobe near the apartment door and a chest of drawers in the hallway. It wasn't really enough storage space for five people but would be fine for four. The kitchen had a fridge, microwave, kettle, pans, sink, crockery and cutlery but no washing up equipment. The shower was alright, not particularly strong pressure but adequate and the temperature was fine, though it would go cold towards the end of a long shower. The toilet took hours to refill sometimes, at other times it seemed normal. The hotel is situated a couple of minutes walk up the road from Kanya and Kasbah and even closer to the Calo D'es Moro beach. The West End is about 10 minutes walk away and Bar M is about 20 minutes. There is a well stocked supermarket in the hotel and a 24 hour one over the road. The hotel has a bar/restaurant, but we only ate there once. The service was extremely slow and when the food finally arrived it was cold and bland. This hotel is known as 'The Zoo', so I was slightly worried that it would be impossible to sleep here but it turned out to be fine. It was noisy at night with people drinking in their rooms, going round the hotel to see friends, banging doors etc. but in the daytime it was very quiet. We were generally only in the room in the daytime anyway so we had no problems. The one night I stayed in it was fairly noisy until about 5am, but not unbearable. Other guests at the hotel were very relaxed and friendly, all young people either drinking and partying or hungover. We didn't venture to the pool due to the beach being so close by, but the pool is separate from the hotel just over the road. All in all I was really pleased with this hotel as it was such a bargain, a great location and a nice lively place. It was so good to not feel like we had to creep around and be quiet all the time. This is definitely not a hotel for families or people who like a nice quiet holiday, it's a place for people who like to party and stay up all night and sleep in the day.

Just returned from a week in a 2 bedroom apartment here. Stayed with 3 others...2 to a bedroom. The apartment we got was on 1st floor right at the back so no views other than buildings and also backed onto a firescape.One room had 2 wardrobes the other had none. The kitchen had a hob and fridge and bare essentials. No aircon so had to hire fans...tolerable but not comfortable. The balconys are just big enough for 2, no more. The bathroom was functional and adequate. The beds and towels were changed once in a week.....allthough i suggest that was because as a group of lads aged 23-31 we left the whole apartment in a bit of a state anyway so the cleaners aren't bothered if we aren't. Most if not all the rooms were full of groups of teenagers etc so there was only a few hours of quiet a nite usually between 5-8am! Doors banging, fire escapes being used, stereos on full playing dance, shouting etc is all to be expected here allthough i'd suggest that you won't really notice it after a while as most people staying here will be doing exactly the same! The downstairs bar is good and theres a shop inside thats also good. Theres a good english bar across the street called Tiffanys that seemed quiet, ideal for a 1st drink before heading off on the 2 min walk to sunset strip (very cool/chilled out) or 10-15mins to west end bar roudyness! Theres a beach 2 mins away perfect for a swim, theres also fun boats to hire. We found ourselves using the pools/sunloungers on sunset strip most days...just nicer than the apartment pool. To sum up.......if your young, in a group and up for a laugh and dont' mind spending your time around others of a similar age/attitude then these apartments will suit.

We stayed at these apartments on the 13th September 2006 for a few days and I could not fault the place at all. I've stay in San Antonio 5 times now and these were by far the best apartments I've been to. The rooms were spotless and the 2 bed apartment that we had was massive with everything you could need and far more than you would normally expect to find in 3* self catering accommodation. There is also a shop in the accommodation selling everything you could need. The staff were very friendly and could not do enough to help, I lost all my euros on the first day and the receptionist could not have been more helpful. (We found them in the end). The apartments are in a great location 5 minutes from Mambo, Cafe del Mar, Coastline and Kanya and about a 15 minute walk to the west end and the main nightlife of San Antonio. The beach next to Kanya is also a short walk away. There is a bus stop about 10 minutes away so you can get to the rest of the island very cheaply. All in all a great base for a great holiday.

Just back from another trip to the white isle and first time staying in Poniente Playa. For the cost of the hotel, which was considerably less than others I have stayed in, the value for money was quite good. The rooms were very generous in size and the noise level never reached anything more than tolerable. The pool is situated two minutes walk away from the hotel and seems to attract a lesser amount of hotel guests as a result, which was good as there was always a sun lounger to be had. Our only disappointment was that the hotel had advertised air conditioning (on request) and although we had requested this, and sent an email to the hotel before our visit, we arrived to find that there was no such thing in the room. Apparently, only the rooms sleeping 6 or more have air conditioning, any less do not. Subsequently, we had to purchase some fans from an electrical shop on the corner but this seemed to make the heat in the room more manageable. Had the hotel had air conditioning, I would have definitely returned next year. However, if you manage to get it for a decent price, and don't have too much of an insistence for cool air, this hotel is a safe bet.

im a 21 yr old who stayed here in a group of 11 the apartments were a decent size but the balconys were tiny!the rooms didnt get cleaned that often but i couldnt blame them as there was loads of empty bottles in ours!it was very basic but i expect that from a 2wentys hol. the bathroom only got cleaned once over the 2 weeks which wasnt very nice for 4guys sharing! its definately a place for the young ones 2 stay becuase they werent to bothered about music playing which was great although wen it did reach about half 1 or so we did get told to turn it down as there was locals staying in the building across from us. the pool area was ok,quite hard 2 get a sun lounger,the food at the pool was reasonable and the wee guy serving was quality it was a great location.2min walk to the sunset strip and about 5-10 min walk to the west end i would def inately book these apartments again although i would get air con as it was a struggle to get to sleep with just the fans we hired! all in all a fantastic hol and im goin back to clubbers paradise in sept

great place to stay,freindly staff, clean ,tidy,food great,super market well stocked,would go again,cheers mr reynolds room 507.

I just cant fault these apartments, just returned from a week there, been Ibiza before and always stayed in much more expensive hotels, this year needed a bargain and I can honestly say this is the best place Ive stayed in Ibiza. Our apartment was huge (theres very little price diff between 1 and 2 beds so we opted for the 2 even tho was only 4 of us). We had everything we needed, fridge, microwave, tv, bath, balcony, plus there was huge wardrobes to hang all our stuff. We had a bit of an afterparty on the 2nd morning and to be honest we were pretty quiet but we did get a talking to by the man downstairs the next night, (tho we did have a few people back so fair dues) I dont think we would of got away with it twice! Other than us we didnt experience any disturbances! Apartments were very clean, the maids were sweet and were very good about us checking out 2 hours late! I only have good things to say and will def stay there again, highly recommended.

Visited ibiza for a week which id defintly enough!! if you dont want to spend a small fortune and your liver still in tac!! the Poniente Playa was my 2nd visit i must admit my previous visit was better! we arrived 4 girls booked two rooms and got there and was given 1 room! they were very rude and eventually after a hour our reps manged to get our two rooms after they admitted makeing a mistake - so not a good start! as the week went on we enjoyed ourselves there- the room we had (try and get it) we had a amazing view of the water was great- a massive balcony a good sun trap and privacey. the staff were pleasant, rooms pretty clean- adviswed to get a safe as some people have had things stolen! worth doing. Noise on the whole was what you expected in ibiza, but somem people did not care when leavin or coming in esp. door slamming! all in all would recommend as such a great location and near lots of eating places!

Not badly situated within ten minutes walk of cafe mambo & del mar. twenty minutes west end. I didn't see any couples or families only groups of same sex party goers. Consequently noisy throughout night. If your're having an early one, (2 a.m.) don't expect much sleep. doors banging all night. The hotel staff were very friendly & seemed to be used to large noisy groups. the rooms were dead clean and reasonably comfortable. it's not a hole neither the ritz. newly furnished if not a new building. no sea view. has shop attached for essentials. the downstairs bar stays open very late possiblly all night as i didn't make it past 5 a.m. myself. the pool around the corner has bar & pool table & was adequate enough but I prefered the beach. facility to store bags & shower on your last day before travelling also. Not a bad gaff in all but take some earplugs!
