Gran Htl Montesol Ibiza Curio Collect

"Stayed for 2 nights in August . A taxi can drop you right to the door and the rest of the hotel is on a beautiful tree and sculptured lined pedestrian street. We chose an upgraded room for the larger windows and a small terrace with a view. The window does open but the terrace is blocked off so you cannot stand on it. No problem though as you still have fresh air and a view. The room is decorated as per photos in quirky colour and style but very of the island. Its lovely and the room we had was very spacious with a couch and large TV. Bed was large and very comfortable. Downstairs bar/reception is small but sufficient. Roof terrace is nice with great views over the whole of the town. Seeing the planes fly close over the sea is a bonus photo opportunity. Breakfast is served in the Street area which is covered and lovely surrounded by pedestrian street and fabulous trees. Service here was quick and food was varied and hot, served from a select menu. It is a pricy hotel but the location to shops, the port and the old town means you can save on taxis."

"This is our first night of four, and I am feeling very disappointed. First of all, we arrived at the hotel at 5 pm and told the very young ladies at reception that we just wanted to go straight to the roof bar, which was one of the main reasons for choosing the hotel. We were told that it was definitely closed for today, because of a private function, and they thought it might be closed for the season. It is indeed closed for the season. Nobody had the courtesy to tell us. Next, we were shown to our room. I had ordered a Deluxe King. The room itself is not too bad, but our window looks on to a blank industrial wall. The hotel’s website talks wistfully about all the rooms having views of Ibiza Old Town. Next, I asked for a map of the Old Town, and was given a map with no discernible street names, and a shrug of the shoulders. Finally, we went out for dinner and came back to the hotel for a nightcap. At 10.45 we were told that the bar would be closing in five minutes. We declined and headed to bed early. I had been told that the Experimental Group was owned by a trendy cocktail company and that they produced incredible cocktails. I am not looking forward to the next three days. This a turgid mess of a hotel, with nothing going for it. Avoid! Having just stayed at the magnificent Hotel Sant Francesc in Palma, the Montesol Experimental is two star at best."

"We stayed at the Montesol on our way back from Formentera, it has always been a place where we wanted to try and it did not disappoint. Wow what an amazing hotel that has such great energy, architecture and hospitality. We checked in seamlessly, stayed in the superior room. We had drinks and lunch on the terrace, superb service and quality food and wine. Amazing decor, features, amenities and brilliant mini bar. The rooftop bar is absolutely incredible with stunning views of the Old Town. We will 100% be coming back."
