We spent our last 10 days of August at San Miguel Esmeralda Aparthotel. 2 adults + 2 teenage boys aged 14. First of all, I wanted to say a big thank you to Yeyo, Alejandro, Macarena, Ana and all the rest of the staff!! They all work so hard replenishing the food so that the trays are never empty and keeping the bar and restaurant spotless ! They are all super friendly too. Their job is not to entertain the guests but they always have a smile and are happy to chat and help you with any questions when addressed to them. The standards and variety of food is superb for a 3* hotel so we did not regret having paid for the All Inclusive. We stayed at an apartment at the top which gives you lovely sea views and the quiet pool is just below these apartments. If you wish to enjoy some music and a more lively atmosphere, , you have the choice to go to the pool at the bottom where the lovely lady called Lucero entertains guests with the aqua gym, waterpolo, etc activities. She’s great! The apartments at the top have not been recently renovated but the kitchen and bathroom still look new so it was brilliant for us. Spacious and with great views. You do have a steep slope to climb to get to them but it was definitely worth it for us. The apartments at the bottom are called “Comfort” on the property,s website and have been renewed very recently. They look more modern but you do not get the views. The are all thoroughly cleaned every day except for Sundays. All in all, it is a great property for families who want to enjoy the beach nearby (5 minutes walk away) Kayaks available, 30 minutes included daily if you book the All Inclusive basis. The 2 pools to choose from at the same property is great too! You do need a car if you wish to explore all the pretty coves around the island. The Northern part of Ibiza is particularly beautiful and quiet. Crystal colour sea waters and lovely small beaches all around. The old town of Ibiza town is worth a visit too, such great atmosphere in the afternoon/ evening! We had a brilliant holiday so thanks again to all the staff ( including the chef and receptionists! ) 😀😍

“Great place for a base not as an allinclusive”

I felt i had to write a review to address many other points previously raised.

I felt i had to write a review to address many other points previously raised. Location is amazing for a quiet beach vibe - it did give off a 1970’s feel with just one modern hotel in the centre of the village. Lovely few basic resturants and cafes and a couple of shops. Beach issue its 8 euro a sunbed and parasol so 24 euro a day - Many bought a 13 euro umbrella and used towels. Having tokens from the hotel if all inclusive is great to use the cafe and toilets. So handy. That brings to the hotel. We stayed by the top pool in a two bed apartment with kitchenette all inclusive. Great size for family of 4. The aircon is NOT ice cold but does take the edge off. We got used to it. Lovely balcony and amazing seaview. As all inclusive they still wanted us to pay 2.50euro a day for a safety deposit box. We declined. The shower i have to say was the best yet! Super powerful and hot. Many places we have been the shower has been very weak. We chose this hotel as it wasnt the behemoth you get with tui all inclusive as we wanted to experience a more local run hotel and not have to fight for sunloungers and that we could keep an eye on a 5 and 9 yearold. The hotel fit the bill on sunloungers and being safe for the kids. Unfortunately the reviews are right about the staff. They are not mean but just look a little withdrawn from customer service. No warm welcome or smiles. Noone seemed happy we were there! Also no goodbye hope you had a nice holiday! Half the holiday experience for us after spending thousands of £££s to be there is the interaction with staff. This really let the hotel down and left us needing to ‘up’ our holiday experience. We did that with the bus and taxis so ate out 4 nights of 10. Kiddie entertainment isnt anything during the day save for drawing by the pool. Kiddie disco is ok and entertainment simple. We expected that as a small hotel. The only real member of staff with a happy buzz vibe was the animation girl lucy - very lovely. The food was all very nice and varied for such a small hotel but no specific kid food like plain pasta! The snacks offered are naff as previously reviewed so dont go expecting real all inclusive this is limited and time dependent. Ie a proper coffee is free after 11am or 2.50euro! There are lovely signs on the table asking people not to take food away with them but the hotel would be happy to charge you if you would like to!! So all in all a glorious chilled beach, great pools (with heaps of sun) no fighting for loungers but as so basic just use the hotel as a base not as your main holiday focus. As for the hill its super steep but not for long and if you want those views you suck it up!
