Argos

"I’ll start with the positives; the hotel is well located, not too far from the airport and Ibiza town but feels like it’s in a quiet part of the island. The room we had was sufficiently large and the seaview balcony was a nice addition. The younger staff in the hotel bar were friendly and welcoming. The breakfast choice was good and constantly well refreshed. The negatives: the older hotel staff were surly and dour, barely able to raise a smile particularly at breakfast and dinner service, and this was right at the start of the season! They could quite happily walk past you without making eye contact in a restaurant that was barely half full. But by far our worst experience was the large group of males who were permitted by the hotel to behave in a misogynistic and homophobic manner throughout the duration of our stay. Having been on the receiving end of some disgusting sexual gestures and comments which we reported to hotel management, we were informed “the rich gentlemen were drunk” as if that was an excuse for their behaviour- and that they’d be spoken to the following day. The hotel then continued to serve alcohol to the drunken obnoxious men for several more hours AFTER freely admitting they were already drunk and a nuisance. We received NO follow up from management and no reassurance that a repeat of this behaviour would not occur again so spent the rest of our stay trying to avoid these German men. Our teenage girls were too afraid to walk around the hotel alone after this experience. But these men were hard to avoid and if they weren’t chanting and singing in the bar, they were jumping in the pool soaking other guests. Will we return to Ibiza? Absolutely! Will we return to Talamanca? Possibly. Will be return to Hotel Argos? Not a chance in hell. Edit: if any German women read this and know that their sons or husbands, fathers or brothers were in a group of 10 or so men aging from late 20s to 60s who stayed here recently, have a serious word with them then about their disgusting behaviour. I can happily show you some videos if you don’t believe me."

"Our flight arrive late into Ibiza. There were at least 30 taxis waiting. The hotel has 24 hour front desk. Extremely helpful and kind staff, especially in the restaurant. Fabulous location. Easy walk to the old town. It takes about 20 minutes. There is a taxi stand right around the corner. The taxi to the airport cost €22. There is also a car hire business immediately behind the hotel next to the small supermarket. The room we had was a corner room looking out to sea. Such a beautiful view! Thank you, Argos! The room was spacious and very comfortable. The hotel is rightly noted for its cleanliness. There is a small gym we used every day. A small indoor pool and jacuzzi is right opposite. We went half board and always found something delicious to eat. There is a buffet in the morning and the evening. We appreciated the variety. If you are vegetarian do ask the chef for vegetables without ham. They tend to put ham in as many things as possible. If you go out of the back of the hotel and walk along the beach there is a boardwalk that takes you all the way to the point. There are lots of lovely cafes and bars along the path. We took a ferry to Formentera and rented bikes one day. It really was wonderful and well worth going. There are fabulous bike trails with an incredible amount of birds to observe. Some things that would make the hotel even better would be to have better storage in the room. If they put a shelf in the bathroom and a mirror in the main bedroom this would also be helpful. We loved our stay and would not hesitate to return."

"Lovely hotel in a beautiful part of Ibiza. About half an hour walk into old town or get the old ferry across for less than 2€ each. Nice beaches all around the hotel and the marina is a real eye opener for the not so fortunate 🤩 (like us). The hotel is immaculate and cleaned thoroughly daily and the staff were all fantastic. We’re not used to smaller hotels like this but we loved it. Lots of walks, bars and restaurants very close by and the views are breathtaking. The food is a lot nicer than we’re used to in buffet style restaurants although some of the combinations of food are a bit odd but we’re in a foreign country with mainly German clientele so maybe it’s just not what we’re used to. Pretty much all the holiday makers were good people as well so the hotel seems to attract a decent people you want to be around. We came as a family of 3 and all agree it was one of our favourite family holidays and would definitely come back although we will explore Ibiza a bit more first."
