Santa Eulalia, Sol Ibiza

i have just booked my holiday again to the sol ibiza this will be me and my husbands fourth stay at this hotel cant wait to return in june could stay there forever only big fault is boarding and flying back to manchester the resort food relaxing round the pool book you will not be disappointed

This was our first visit to Ibiza (Majorca prices seemed over the top this year). We weren't disappointed, and found Santa Eulalia suited us very nicely. On arrival at the Sol Ibiza, we were offered a room with a sea view right off the bat, at no extra cost, which was great - we could easily have paid extra for this in advance. There was a fridge in the room, also a self-operated safe deposit box, both free of charge.

The resort is very pleasant, not noisy at all, and there are some excellent bars/restaurants around the bay and the marina. There is a frequent boat connection about 15 minutes' steady walk from the hotel. In this way you can visit Ibiza Town (about 1 hour away), Cala Llonga (20 minutes), as well as Es Cana and the island of Formentera.

We took the boat to Ibiza Town twice. Enjoyed the Old Town very much. Some great views from the terrace near the church, but you have to climb many steep flights of stairs to get there.

Beware of restaurant prices in Ibiza Town - always have a look at both the food and drink tariffs before ordering. We forgot to do this on one occasion and paid well over the odds for a very basic lunch.

There are two excellent, reasonably priced "mini-train" excursions (2 and 3 hours), one from the nearby Hotel Tres Torres and the other from the town centre. Both had guides - on the shorter one the driver kept us well entertained with little bits of comedy. We enjoyed both trips and there was no duplication.

We found our one week stay was just about right, and would recommend Santa Eulalia and the Sol Ibiza to anyone looking for a relaxing holiday with some low-key trips and entertainment.

Reception staff have been there for a long time and are very helpful and courteous and waiter

service top marks.There is a bus station where you can catch a bus to many other resorts and

sea ferrys to take you by sea.
