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!

Fantastic service, excellent facilities & staff very welcoming & helpful! Our stay was everything that we wanted, ie. very relaxing and in a lovely location. Upon arrival at reception we were made to feel very welcome by Jose and the team. Our room was on the 4th floor of the main block with a fabulous view overlooking the sea so we got to experience some beautiful sunsets. The room was cleaned to a high standard every day by our lovely cleaner who had no issue coming back later if she was a bit too early for us. Raquel, the waiting & kitchen team worked incredibly hard to manage the restaurant. The food (breakfast, lunch, dinner) was excellent with multiple choices of freshly prepared dishes available for each sitting. The pool bar team (Leticia, Pedro & Manuel), were great fun & remembered our drinks, as well as teaching us Spanish. The entertainment team worked really hard but respected if you wanted to just chill out by the pool. We used the cycle hire to get about which was great for just €10 deposit. We managed a few walks either way along the beach using the local bus service (cash only) to get back to the hotel as it stopped right outside. All in all, this hotel is in a great location if you want peace & quiet & the staff work really hard to ensure you have a great stay - would return again & would recommend to others…

Excellent food, drinks included with evening meal is a fantastic bonus, Staff were excellent, We stayed in room 511, the hotel met my requests as I contacted them prior to my stay, was made to feel really welcome, a great place to explore the beautiful island, Thank you so much for a wonderful stay we will definitely be back!!

We stayed at Insotel Hotel Formentera Playa for a week during the May half term as a couple and, unfortunately, I wouldn't rate this as a 4* hotel and would rate it as a 3* hotel at best. I'll start at the beginning: Pre-arrival and check-in: - I emailed the hotel in advance of our holiday, requesting a room on a high floor; unfortunately this was ignored and we were placed in room 0117 on the first floor, despite the hotel not being even nearly full and rather quiet for the May half-term holidays. - The reception staff are not very friendly or informative at all and none of the things I would expect on arrival at a 4* hotel were present i.e., warm welcome, maps/information about the hotel or the island, information about the Wi-Fi, even a small welcome drink. Instead we were given our room card, cards for towels for the pool and told what the breakfast and evening meal times were and told to be on our way. The room: - Despite some reviews suggesting all rooms here are nice and have nice views, this is completely false. We had what had to be one of the worst rooms in the entire hotel - room 0117. This was on the first floor, overlooking the bus stop and street outside, including the scooter and bike rental place. It is also at the end of a looooonnnnggg corridor and right next to a fire escape. - We didn't use the balcony as it only got the sun first thing in the morning and then was in shade the whole of the rest of the day. The room was also very basic and dated, with cracked tiles and loose cupboard doors. The bathroom was functional but extremely small with no window and therefore no natural light. - The walls are paper thin and so we didn't have a good night sleep the entire holiday. This was mostly due to the noise from the street outside with bin lorries, deliveries, buses etc... but we were also awoken one night at 3am to hear people shouting and running through the corridor outside our room and opening and slamming the fire escape. When we got up the next morning we realised this had been due to one of the other rooms in our corridor seemingly having flooded through the night as the entire corridor carpet was soaked as we squelched our way to breakfast the next morning. The corridor then smelt of damp and foist for the rest of the holiday, with towels laid at the thresholds of half of the rooms on the corridor. - Additionally, one night we were awoken at 4am to noisy people getting out of a taxi outside and then proceeding to a room somewhere near us in the hotel where they then blasted music and made a noise until 6am. I have no idea where the hotel night staff were or how this was allowed to happen. hotel night staff were or how this was allowed to happen. The hotel, pool and grounds: - The pool area is a nice area; there are two medium-sized pools and the hotel has steps that lead directly to a beach area. I say "beach area" as it isn't a proper beach but has been man-made to be one and is functional enough, but not exactl

Pay extra for Superior room sea view. Not pool side . Great views. Went half board , buffet food was excellent!! Every evening was great. Wine wasn’t too bad . Hired bikes and visited different coves and lighthouses. Did a Tui Catamaran cruise which was absolutely fantastic!! Food , sun , lovely coves , snorkelling. Would like to say a special thanks to KIKI the rep! She was brilliant!!! Only down side I’d say is getting Ferry back to airport Tui reps weren’t really around. Left to your own devices. That being said would one hundred percentage come back to this hotel. FORMENTERA is beautiful!! Thanks again for the suprise of breakfast the next morning for my birthday at South Beach restaurant. Also fantastic find for lovely food is playa real restaurant.

Beautiful island , so quiet, the hotel was spotless and the staff so friendly and helpful especially Fanni . Bicycles were available every day , hardly any traffic on the roads . the food was amazing always loads of choice of meats , fish and pasta / pizza , also desserts and ice cream which our grandson loved .

My husband and I stayed at Insotel Formentera Playa for 1 week. Absolutely loved the beautiful location with easy access to the beach. The staff, particularly Juan at reception and Sebastian at the Pool/Lounge Bar, offered excellent service. The entertainment team—Maria Luisa, Nela, Daan, Alessandro, and Joel—was fantastic and kept the atmosphere lively. I also want to recognise Pedro, Felix, David, and Manuel from the Pool/Lounge Bar, as well as Mohammed from the restaurant, for their hard work and outstanding service. However, I can only give it a 3-star review due to several disappointments. The food selection was limited, primarily consisting of basic options that felt repetitive. We did try a few new items, like burgers one night, but they were undercooked even after we asked the staff to cook them longer. Other nights featured steak and chicken, but overall, the variety didn’t change much, leaving us wanting more. That said, we did love the chicken wings we had on Saturday night! Our room, advertised as a Luxury Superior Double Room with Sea View and Balcony, was also underwhelming. While the sea view was lovely, the room itself was basic and did not meet the "luxury" description. The bathroom felt outdated and impractical. Additionally, the TUI representative, Erika (Kiki) Daniela, was unprofessional and dismissive when I raised my concerns, which left a sour taste in our experience. In summary, while the location and staff are strong points, the hotel needs significant improvements to justify its 4-star rating. If you're considering booking a "luxury" room through TUI, adjust your expectations accordingly.

Our second visit this year. Loved it so much when we went in June we couldn't wait to return. Staff are lovely and helpfull. Booked half board. The hotel gave us the option to swap our evening meal for lunch which gave us freedom to please ourselves if we wanted to go out in the evening. Perfect location right on the beach for a relaxing holiday. Bus stop just outside the hotel which is convenient to visit other parts of the island.

Another Insotel stay (the 4th different one now) and another fantastic weeks stay , from the very professional and efficient check in right through, the whole place was excellent. Our room was cleaned every day to a high standard by a lovely guy ( Room 121 14th to 21st Sept for Insotel management to identify who it is ) Bar staff brilliant, too many to name but standouts Felix ,Pedro ,Ricardo to name a few. Food , was superb , if you could not find something you liked i would be worried , lots of fish , seafood , meats , fresh veg , fresh fruit and for me the best dessert RICE PUDDING A very simple pleasure but a pleasure none the less. Animation team worked very hard to entertain through the day and night , some things were cheezy but put a smile on your face. The staff are their best asset but whole place helped. Insotel Hotel Formentera Playa might have faults but i cannot think of one. Thank you Insotel Playa we are now working out dates to return to you in 2025.
