Insotel Club Tarida Playa

We stayed here for our wedding, there was 14 of us staying in this hotel and we cannot fault it. We got married at cas mila so the location was perfect! We used the local buses to go to san antonio and ibiza town ( €3 one way) The staff were so friendly all of the time and were extra attentive on our wedding day bringing bottles of cava to the room as an extra special touch! The food was fresh and tasty with plenty of choice in the restraunt, pool bar or beach bar and the premium drinks were enjoyed by everyone! We didnt struggle for sun beds which was nice, we went down around 9am and got beds with no problem. The hotel is very family related and its worth taking into account there is a lot of children around and you will get splashed haha. A big thankyou to the hotel staff for calling an ambulance when my mother in law fell poorly, they kept checking on her kept a look out for the ambulance and looked for us the next day to check in on her. We really cant fault this hotel :)

We travelled as a family of 4 with a 2 and 4 year old. Firstly we arrived around midday and understandably our room was not ready however we weren’t offered anywhere to change so we could use the pool in the meantime. Then we were advised the room was ready earlier than planned which we were delighted about having 2 very tired, irritable girls. We discovered our room was out of the main complex in the white building, we had 4 suitcases and a pushchair, we had to go down the steps towards the beach, into the building where there was no lift and up 2 flights of stairs. When we got to the room after that traumatic experience we were disappointed to see see the rooms were nowhere near the standard of the rooms we saw in the main building. We rang reception and explained the situation and we were advised that there were no available rooms in the main building. Other than the room, no help offered with luggage and lack of bottled water there were some lovely points; Entertainment staff were fabulous. Bar staff and waitresses were also amazing , food so friendly and attentive to the kids. The hotel is small and didn’t feel overcrowded and is in a beautiful setting. Food was fine and drinks on offer were excellent (other than bottled water) The time spent in the main complex was pleasant. I think if we were in the main building we would have had a different view of this hotel. I also feel strongly that it should be made clear at booking if you are going to be in the other building as it is completely unsuitable for young families or anyone that would struggle with luggage.

Despite being cheaper than it's grand neighbour from the same hotel chain (next door), this hotel totally wins in my opinion & I would much rather stay here! The Club Tarida Playa isn't "too big", the grounds are well-kept, the rooms are bright and airy, the buffet is brilliant (even for vegetarians like us) but the thing which makes this hotel is the staff - from the ever present Manager, who you visibly see inspecting and taking great pride in the place, to the truly wonderful 'Caty' on reception, who always knew who we were when we went past to wave to, and took such an interest in us that she sang Happy Birthday to my husband and came out to find him by the pool to give him a cava to make his day special as she had noticed on check-in that his birthday was the day that we were leaving! It made his day - thank you 'Caty'! The bar staff Ramon, Yoel, Daniel and the others are always pleasant, attentive and professional, serving several lots of different guest simultaneously with gusto! The buffet restaurant staff, again are so professional & constantly replenishing everything so that the dishes are fresh; the waiting staff always clear the table efficiently and reset so that you are never stuck waiting to be seated, again all done with a smile. The one little niggle is the Torremar (their 'a la carte' restaurant). It isn't. It is really a daytime beach bar, and we never really saw it open in the evening whenever we walked past. We didn't care, because the buffet was so great, but the views from the Torremar are wonderful, and it would have been nice to enjoy that in the evening. We were told that it was 'possible' to make a reservation there, but that is was just paella anyway, so we gave it a miss. I think that the hotel would be better served scrapping the idea of Torremar being an 'a la carte' 'reservation only' restaurant and just realise that the old art deco building best serves the hotel as the lovely beach bar that it already is in the daytime instead - just keep it open as a bar in the evening. As to who stays here? When we visited there were lots of families and it is ideal for small children (thoroughly recommended), who seem well entertained by the great animation staff. We were there as a couple however the kids playing were purely a delight and caused us no bother, but if you are looking for an 'adults only' type holiday or a place to party then this hotel is not for you. It is a quality, family-friendly, quiet hotel, with some low-key evening entertainment, on a beautiful beach, with a fantastic pool. Kudos to the Manager and staff who make it so!
