Insotel Hotel Formentera Playa

¡Todo genial! Un 10 para la señora de recepción y para el chico del bar de la piscina. Mejoraría la oferta vegana para desayunar en el buffet. Repetiremos!

Isabel and Fanni make the holiday great with their genuine care and attention. Always smiling. We can’t wait to return Thank you xxxx

Amazing hotel and friendly staff! Relaxing family all inclusive hotel, Formentera is a very relaxing and chilled out island and this hotel follows that style. There is a south beach bar adjoining The hotel which isn’t included in the all-inclusive and it is very low-key and chilled out. It feels like a waste that this beach bar isn’t utilised by the hotel and there should be at least one fun Ibiza style party night hosted there. However, the evening entertainment is very good and family friendly, the staff at the beach bar and entertainment staff are top-notch. They are the face of the hotel and really deserve a lot of credit the beach bar has sangria on tap as well as Estrella beer and other premium spirits such as Johnny Walker. We enjoyed staying at this hotel. The all inclusive buffet for lunch breakfast and dinner was great and each night is themed differently and very varied. Did not get bored of this and the food is of good quality. The hotel is clean and well maintained, the tiling of the swimming pool is a little tired. However that is a minor when everything is taken into consideration. The beach is quite rocky but a few metres down the coast and the beach is much clearer and sandy, it was a lovely holiday and yes, I would definitely come back and visit again!

Hotel is perfectly located right on the beach . 2 pools . All areas spotlessly clean. Great selection of food . Hotel rather dated in places. Friendly staff. Beware the all inclusive doesn't include the South beach bar restaurant. As a result it was largely deserted and a wasted area.Entertainment very good ,

It’s clean and the food was nice, only one night where choices were not exciting. Rooms the usual average hotel decor but very good daily cleaning standard. Convenient access to the beach. However the hotel could do better: significant lack of information from staff on arrival and no written information in the room to make up for it. To make things worse when asking advice they were useless and gave wrong information!… we asked where we could walk to get a meal and were told that was not possible, taxi only, only to be told 5 minutes later there is a restaurant next to the hotel and days later worked out there are 2 more in walking distance along the beach! All staff polite but reception need to be more helpful. One of the pools needs re tiling, it’s cracked and it’s an accident waiting to happen. The other pool has very limited space that an adult can stand up in, it drops down to 2m40cm for most of the pool and hard to climb out of. It’s frustrating when trying to teach your child to swim because the only space to stand up is tiny and often taken up by kids throwing balls which of course occasionally hit you in the face. The lifeguard seemed unreliable and did not appear to look at the pool once. Entertainment very late for children- 8.45 mini disco (sometimes starting late), then offering a pizza party at 9.45pm!.. too late for our kids so they had to miss it. Kids staff appeared motivated and did a good job for the disco, we didn’t try the kids club. Park is basic but our 4 and 6 year old were happy with this. Lots of buses come to the hotel but we hired a car and that was better for us. Car hire centre next to hotel. Recommend car if wanting to have flexibility when exploring the island. Many breath taking beaches. It’s a small and quiet island but we could hear a couple of parties in the distance on the occasional evening but sound stopped by 11.15 and it wasn't a disturbance, if we didn’t have kids we would have joined them!

Just back from a repeat visit. We choose this hotel because it has always offered value for money on this ever more expensive island. We love the location, hire a scooter and go to a different beach every day. We are not interested in the pool area or the entertainment. This year we felt that the quality of the main courses at dinner had declined and more often than not struggled to find something nice. If we return it will be on a breakfast only basis (breakfast food was excellent). Restaurant staff are wonderful - a real credit to Insotel - friendly and professional. The hotel public areas are spotless but we felt that our room wasn’t cleaned as thoroughly as previously and we didn’t always get the correct number of towels. This might be because we were at the end of a corridor? Lovely view from our balcony in one of the quieter parts as we requested. Our neighbour complained that the fire door to the outside was jammed shut and was then wedged open for 2 days which was a little concerning. Overall pretty much as expected and we will almost certainly return as we love Formentera so much.
