Book this if You want the Ibiza 'party-lite' aesthetic—DJs by the pool and rooftop sunsets—without the chaos of a superclub hotel.
Why People Love It
- The 'buzzer' on sun loungers that summons waiters instantly
- Rooftop infinity pool with arguably the best sunset views in the bay
- Adults-recommended vibe that balances hedonism with actual sleep
Quick Take: A glossy, Instagram-ready enclave in San Antonio Bay that feels more expensive than it is, provided you don't mind the occasional influencer photoshoot next to your deckchair.
Reviewed by @ThisisDannyelle: I felt like a total VIP here. The infinity pool is stunning, but the rooftop bar stole my heart—perfect for sunset cocktails. Plus, having the beach right there made my mornings unforgettable. Definitely the chic escape I needed.

Room Genie
Best picks
- 'Keep The Secret' rooms on the 5th floor for the best balance of sea views and distance from the rooftop noise
- 'Oh Là Là The One' for VIP lounge access and guaranteed sea views
Rooms to avoid
- Ground floor rooms near the elevators (high foot traffic)
- 'I Was Here' rooms facing the street if you are a light sleeper
Room Request Genie – copy & paste
“I would love to request a 'Keep The Secret' room on a high floor (ideally 4th or 5th) facing the pool/sea, away from the elevators. If possible, please avoid rooms directly under the rooftop bar to ensure quiet evenings.”
FAQ & Hidden tips
Everything you actually want to know before you book.
Is it strictly adults only?
Technically 'Adults Recommended' (16+), so you won't find toddlers, but you might see teenagers.
Is the pool heated?
The outdoor pools are generally not heated, which can be brisk in May/October.
Is 'The One' upgrade worth it?
Yes, if you drink alcohol and snack. The private lounge offers free drinks and food from 12pm-8pm, which pays for itself quickly given the hotel's bar prices.
How far is the strip?
San Antonio's West End is about 4km away—a 10-minute taxi or water taxi ride. You are not in the middle of the chaos.
Is there parking?
Yes, on-site outdoor parking is available for around €15-18 per day, but it's first-come, first-served.
What is the breakfast like?
Outstanding. A massive buffet at Mare Nostrum with fresh honeycomb, endless egg options, and mimosas.
Insider Tips
- ✨
Use the 'buzzer' on your sun lounger umbrella pole—waiters come to you so you never have to queue at the bar.
- ✨
The hotel has a signature scent (Spicy Apple or Amarte) that they pump into the lobby; you can actually buy it as a room spray at reception.
- ✨
Walk 5 minutes to 'Kumharas' for a sunset drink—it's a legendary local spot that rivals the hotel's own rooftop for views but with a more bohemian vibe.
5 things to know before you go
💡The glass-walled showers in some rooms offer very little privacy—hope you're comfortable with your roommate.
💡The 'I Was Here' rooms are significantly smaller (starting 16sqm) than the others; the upgrade to 'Keep The Secret' is mostly for the space, not just the view.
💡You can rent a vintage-style bike directly from the hotel to explore the bay.
💡The rooftop yoga sessions (often free or low cost) are actually taught by decent instructors, not just a gimmick.
💡The 'weird' art installations in the lobby are for sale.
