Overall Ratings & Reviews Hotel Simbad

Very unfortunate, I will never be back. Half the hotel overlooks a construction site. Room was filthy, stain on the duvet, hair in the bathroom, filthy floor. The bed so hard might as well sleep on the floor. There’s a series of ridiculous rules, such as having to ask for simple amenities such as a shower cap (not available in room), having to pay 10 EUR in cash specifically for pool towels etc. it’s not a 4 star guest experience by a long way but the prices definitely are. If you want to charge things on your room, you have to tell reception first - so it feels everything is designed to make your stay more difficult than easier. Check out on their own website says 12pm, I was told on the day it’s 11am. Staff are polite and nice but they don’t have much to work with there so do the best they can.

4th stay. Will come back.

Slow check-in. Clean, well-appointed room. Card-controlled room electricals means no charging of devices when away. Terrible dinner buffet. Cash Pool towel deposit is annoying.

The hotel was great but the service in the adjoins bar was terrible. 45 mins to get a drink served. Then after requesting a second drink had to walk out and go to the main hotel bar when served in 5 minutes. Despite the hotel being great o really this experience was very disappointing and when explained in checkout was met with just a sorry.

Location and the amazing staff.

To be fair I have stayed in Ibiza a lot over the years and this hotel ticks all the boxes great location and rooms are excellent. Thank you

Great location great price.

Lovely hotel in great area…

Lovely boutique family style hotel that had a great staff in the heart of Ibiza . Parking can be slightly challenging at times but for the most part it worked out. A delicious complimentary buffet every morning and extra large beds and pillows for us tall ppl

Lovely hotel

Clean hotel, very friendly and courteous staff, nice pool area and right on the water. A/C wasn't so great (it was very hot and our room faced west, so we got hit with a lot of sun, but still), the beds/pillows were just ok. They need bigger/fluffier pillows, and the hotel needs a little freshening up, but otherwise, we had a good time

They gave me a bit of an upgrade at check-in which was nice. I got a higher floor with a sea view. Parking can be very tough around there since you're stuck with street parking and there isn't a lot of it. The pool was ok but it could've been much better if they had service by the pool or a bar. The food at the restaurant was awesome! Very fresh and good.

Hidden jem. Difficult parking.

Friendly staff

This was my fifth stay in eight years at the usually brilliant Simbad. Everything has always been great. Until now. It’s no exaggeration to say our holiday was ruined this year and we will think twice about returning. The only issue is the bizarre pool policy that seems to allow countless non-residents to use the facility whenever they wish, despite a sign saying the pool area is exclusively for the use of guests only. What should be an oasis of calm and restfulness looking out over the beautiful Talamanca bay is now ruined by scores of people who aren’t staying at the hotel using the pool. In a response to another review complaining about this, the hotel director replied seeming to imply there’s nothing they can do about it as the pool is on public land. Maybe something there is lost in translation - I don’t see why someone couldn’t operate an entrance gate to control numbers and noise. I twice saw babies with their nappies being taken off on sun loungers then put into swimming attire without swim nappies, then going straight into the pool. The noise level from children screaming, shouting and repeatedly jumping into the pool is totally unacceptable. The capacity is stated as 40 - yesterday evening I counted 32 non residents, the day before there was 22 children in the pool, like a whole classroom of children all set loose at the same time. I can’t believe this situation isn’t resolvable, but if it’s not then expect your peaceful summer holiday to be ruined by noise.

Loved the small town feel, the view is beautiful! It was 20 minutes walk to the next town. Very easy and safe to walk. I would say there again. Very family friendly.

Amazing hotel- so laid back but professional. Rooms are lovely views amazing and breakfast one of the best

We found cockroaches in our room, definitely cleaning isn’t a priority. Also, requested 1hr late check out but wasn’t approved

Hotel exceeded our expectations, lovely and clean, really super friendly helpful staff. Bar and restaurant prices very reasonable. Buffet Sunday lunch really good and excellent value, great for fuelling up for a night partying :) Very easy walk into Ibiza Town. We would stay here again.

Great hotel, staff were super friendly and helpful, clean large rooms, gorgeous sea view
