Apartamentos del Rey

Can not deny this likely has the best views in Portinatx and this by far out-weighs the negatives and 3 star. The pool and views are more 5 star! Still thought £1650 for 11 nights was expensive but not compared to all other accommodation in Ibiza and only place in Portinatx available that is not Adult Only. Actually loved it all. Had to pay extra for air con as room on front (best view of the bay) was so incredibly hot due to sun setting on it (balcony to warm to sit on at night!) but it was mid August so can’t complain. Without aircon incredibly hot (too hot to cope with) at night and a little bit noisy when patio doors are open at the front due to restaurant next door and road. Absolutely fine once purchased air on and could shut the doors and worth it for the beautiful view! Only complaint was not for Del Rey but the all inclusive hotel on the bay of the beach in front booming British cabaret acts and really old music for an hour at 10/10.30pm every night. I’ve no idea how they are allowed to get away with disturbing the WHOLE resort of Portinatx…nothing in the accommodations power to do anything though so not a reflection on Del Rey. I honestly loved this place and resort and would look to go back. I do think the prices are high but it is cheaper in other off peak seasons/even July. Staff were at hand in the downstairs office and really attentive helpful when electric went off once and I made a small complaint about noise in neighbouring restaurant (lots of people eating and joking around at 2.30am!) but again, out of their control and fine once we purchased aircon and shut doors. Restaurants nearby all seem to price match and were overpriced sadly. We spent a lot compared to other holidays. One cafe (Rincon Verde) up the road charged us 23 eur for a jug of sangria (after not issuing us a drinks menu). Not sure if this is standard. Doubt it as we weren’t charged that elsewhere at nicer places. All in all a wonderful family holiday, Del Rey has the best location and everything you need with kids is within a 5 min walk in the resort which has 3 beaches. Water sports great and we hired a car which was cheap to visit other areas, Ibiza town, Benirras beach, San Joan market. Loved it all.

The place right above the beautiful beach was great. The appartment itself was good, but to little tools for proper cooking (spatula, whisk, sharp peeling knife) and the was on one piece of strange fabric for cleaning the kitchen, drying hands and dry the dishes; not even something to wash the dishes with. Nobody at the reception, but you could call them. That was neccessary: the watercooker was broken and after 1 shower of 5 min. the boiler was empty. The mechanic came, installed a higher temparature, but the problem remained the same. The bath could only be filled halfways, the the water was cold. Horrible, since evenings were still very cold at the beginning of March. There was no heating. (For airco, you have to pay extra). But worst of all was the incredible noise from the other appartments: we could literally understand the neighbours inside and it seemed that everyone was constantly moving heavy furniture on the stone floor. Extremely noisy! In spite of all this, we had a good time here. Specially recommended: restaurant La Vida Loca, close by, friendly couple, woman is an amazing (Italian) cook!

Beware of this scammer!!! We made a booking directly on the website, but wanted to modify it one hour after booking. According to the terms at the time, bookings could be cancelled for free before 17 pm. We fully complied with these conditions, yet the owner refuses to refund the deposit and has deliberately ignored all my requests. I have now sent more than 30 emails, but there has been no response or refund. Extremely unprofessional, and frankly, outright theft. We are now initiating legal proceedings to recover the deposit.

This is our 3rd year staying here and we have booked again for next year. Where to start!!! The restaurant attached to the apartments are looked after from the amazing Luda, Sandro and Rocky. They are the most friendly and accommodating hosts! Lots of menu options and great prices! The diner is spotless. The rooms are traditional Spanish decor, cleaned every second day. Reception manager is always available for any assistance you may need. Pool bar staff are friendly and always happy to help. The atmosphere is chill and just what we want. Beach is directly across the road from apartment and taxis there too. Highly recommend these apartments and restaurant is amazing!!! Great for the 4 sisters xx
