Alua Hawaii Ibiza

This was the 5th time we have stayed at The Hawaii and it never disappoints. The food was the best it’s ever been! Staff are all fantastic all very friendly and efficient. I like the refurbished in the restaurant and our room was perfect. The view from the terrace outside are lovely. If I have one small gripe it’s the pool, it’s absolutely freezing! I guess in August when it’s 35 degrees it’s probably lovely but in October when it’s cooler the kids pool at least should be heated. Regardless of this we will return!

Great location excellent options of food choices and knowledgable friendly staff, the wild storm while we were there didn’t even spoil the experience, memory foam bed mattress took some getting used to though. Nice adult only area with double sun beds to relax, soak up the sunshine and admire the sunset views. Would definitely consider staying here again.

We have been travelling to the bay of San Antonio for 37 years and its appeal never dims. We have been staying in the Hawaii for the past 10 years and have always loved it. Two years ago the ownership changed to Alua and with it some of the Hawaii's charms also disappeared. Although everything is very modern and spa-like, in some respects we feel it has lost some of its appeal. The staff are wonderful and that has not changed, nothing is too much trouble. When I arrived at the hotel this time we had had a 5 hour delay on our flight and to say I was exhausted is putting it mildly, the night porter/receptionist was really welcoming, our room had been prepared with extra duvets on the bed (I have a spinal condition and suffer back pain), also extra pillows had been left as promised. I could not have been more relieved and thankful. The great service continued from there. The staff in the dining room, the cleaner, the bars and the reception were all so kind and glad to see us, nothing was too much trouble. The weather was wonderful 27 deg most days so we really were very lucky. The only negative is the wine in the dining room, the AI wine is undrinkable, we purchased 3 bottles of red wine all Rioja and thought nothing could be wrong with a 15 euro bottle of Rioja, wrong I am afraid, it was dry and tasted nothing like any Rioja I have ever drunk before. Consequently we had dinner every night after this with just water to drink. We asked at reception about the wine and were told the wines were the same as were served in all the Alua hotels. A big disappointment, Alua have some really lovely hotels but we would think seriously about going again. I love what they have done with the dining room, it is certainly less noisy that last year and everything is light and bright, we were very comfortable were we sat in the dining room but others complained about the air-con not working properly. My husband has always enjoyed Torres brandy in the evening but this was unavailable in the bar so he had to drink the house brandy instead which was acceptable. Thank goodness we had not gone on holiday to just enjoy the drink. We enjoyed the chill-out bar as we have many friends in the area who meet us there and we catch up. We did not use the pool this time as it was a little too cold for us but the families all had a great time and of course the beach is just a stroll away. The sunsets as always were wonderful. The evening entertainment was really very good and we enjoyed all the acts we saw. We were able to sit outside most evenings as the temperature did not drop below 20 deg and this was obviously more pleasurable than sitting inside. We will return to San Antonio Bay.
