Hostal Mar y Sal

We weren’t even staying at this hostel, we’d been at the beach all day and couldn’t get a taxi and the bus never turned up so the hostel very kindly drove us back to Playa d’en Bossa. Very helpful and massively saved us! They charged 40Euros which is more than a taxi but between 4 of us it was fine and meant we weren’t stranded in the middle of nowhere.

New refurbished boutique hotel next to the beach. 8 bedrooms with amazing AC - owners’ photos are an accurate representation of the rooms. Staff were friendly and helpful. Love the restaurant / bistro on the ground floor which has a large shaded terrace. Quiet at nighttime. Free parking.

From the moment we were greeted by the wonderful Susannah we fell in love with this gem of a place. The team at Mar y Sal could not have been kinder or more welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. Our room was practical and chic. The decor is very “Ibizan” -lots of white and rattan with a splash of colour from the really cool art work. We did not totally agree with other reviews that there was nowhere to hang clothes as there is plenty of hanging space. The bathroom set up maybe a little “intimate” for some but there is a loo downstairs if you feel shy! The only issue we had was with the doors slamming at night and in the early morning but the team resolved this. The restaurant (the grilled monk fish tail is the best meal we have ever had!) and bar area is outside the property and as the flow of beach traffic (foot fall not cars) runs between the bar and the actual accommodation the people-watching is great fun. There is also a very cool wee boutique next to the hotel as well as a supermarket across the road and a pizza place. We would recommend mosquito repellent if dining outside or sitting on the beach at night. There are some bars on the beach but we found them a little noisy and manic for our liking. There are plenty of other places to visit nearby which are more chilled and classy -Experimental Beach being one. We also liked Chiringuito beach and Club Tropicana. Defo rent a car! We very much hope to stay at Mar y Sal again.
