Sandos El Greco - Adults Only

This is a superb hotel in a superb location. Every aspect of my stay here was excellent and it was hard to leave. I had a single room high up and far away from the poolside but got the evening sun which was a delight. The room itself had excellent quiet and efficient air conditioning, a fridge, safe, TV and balcony. There was a good sized bed, plenty of storage and overall, plenty of room. The bathroom was shower only but again spacious clean and in good condition. The bars and restaurants were also very good and the choice of food and drink was excellent. There was so much choice at every meal time which included the two live cooking stations. I am neither vegan nor vegetarian but I did partake in some delicious soups and salads to accompany my carnivorous main courses. The wine selection in the restaurant was the best I have experienced. The a la carte restaurant is excellent and was a real highlight of my stay. It has to be booked in advance but this was not a problem. Public areas are bright and clean with friendly staff throughout and the bar a very relaxing place to sit and read. The pool area is quite busy during the day and provides the evening entertainment - also busy. There is a bar and snack here also. The snacks are the usual pizza, hot dogs and burgers but hot and tasty. Now the “dreaded steps down to the beach” - yes there are twenty or more steps down but I fail to see the problem. I am a 70+ arthritic pensioner with mobility and heart problems and I was not too bothered. Just take it slowly, get away from the overcrowded pool and enjoy the four super beaches in the resort (two right on your doorstep and two more in either direction less than a mile away). Portinax is a small resort and much quieter because of that. There are bars and shops on the promenade below the hotel and more up in the town centre, a short walk away. There are buses and some very good excursions leaving from here. There are also boat trips leaving from the promenade. You can’t get further away from the airport than Portinax but with the excellent roads now in Ibiza transfer times are much less than advertised by the travel company. Finally, the staff in all parts of the hotel and particularly reception were friendly, efficient and very welcoming. I would love to return to this hotel.

We have just had the best girls holiday! We were nervous about the transfer to the hotels after reading some reviews but we had a Mercedes mini bus waiting for us and there were no drop offs on the way so we were checked in and by the pool swiftly. The food is typical all inclusive for Europe but we enjoyed it. We ate out on a couple of occasions just to break it up a bit. The staff have been fantastic - they got to know our drinks and had lots of jokes with us. Danny who is part of the entertainment works really hard to make everyone happy and ensure guests are enjoying themselves. We loved playing bingo and the trip the lighthouse - there are quite a few activities each day plus evening entertainment which we didn’t see much of as we always ate late. The clientele consists of mostly older people but we were all 39/40 and we bonded with the older folk who were lovely. The beach is wonderful, €8 for a sunbed (cash). There are shops close by, also further restaurants within a short walk. The cleaners worked really hard to ensure our rooms were fresh and the e always had fresh towels each day. We opted to pay a €10 deposit to have a hotel towel for the lounger which was fab and saved us more luggage. We would definitely come back again.

From the moment we arrived at the hotel I was fantastic think we knew we were in for something different, the receptionist was polite and helpful as we were early our room wasn't ready but she gave us a key card to use the Elite lounge which was stocked very well with branded beers, sprits coffee and snacks. we were in our room within 30 mins upon arrival room was very comfortable aircon was fantastic beds are massive. the staff at this hotel go out of there way top help as much as they can food was fantastic plenty of choice from breakfast lunch and dinner you will never go hungry at this hotel I will give a special mention to Eusebio the bar tender in the royal elite bar this man works so hard but always has a smile on his face and made the guest feel very welcome a great guy location was just perfect just what you need if you want a quite relaxing holiday we've already book to go back in may
