The hype
Most guests love the vibe and the rooftop pool, but feel the service lacks the polish expected for the €500+ price tag.
W Ibiza
$300-650 / nótt
Pantaðu þetta ef You want the W party aesthetic but are technically too old (or tired) for the chaos of San Antonio.
Af hverju fólk elskar þetta
- Direct access to the Santa Eulària promenade (quieter side of Ibiza)
- Adults-only Glow rooftop pool offers actual zen vs. the main pool's DJ beats
- Design is undeniably photogenic—boho-chic meets neon luxury
Stutt samantekt: A glossy, high-energy design hotel that charges five-star prices for four-star service and occasionally rusty sunbeds.
Farið yfir af @livitiffany: I stayed here last summer and honestly, the design is even better in person. The rooftop pool was my go-to spot every single afternoon. It’s the perfect mix of chill and party vibes without being too chaotic.
Gestur sem dvaldi hér sagði
Reality check
The 'Wet Deck' (main pool) sunbeds are often reserved early or look worn/rusty, and the music volume divides the crowd.
- You care more about the 'scene' and Instagram potential than absolute silence
- You want to be in Ibiza but away from the aggressive club crowds
- You enjoy a hotel that feels like a day club
Hreinlæti og viðhald
7.5
- Housekeeping: Generally good daily service, but reports of missed details like dusty corners or uncollected room service trays in hallways.
- Bathroom hygiene: Clean, but the open design makes odors an issue. Grout is usually white, but some wear is visible.
- Maintenance: Showing signs of salt-air wear. Complaints about rusty sunbeds, peeling paint on balconies, and occasional AC leaks.
- Linens & towels: High quality, crisp white W-branded linens. Towels are plush but sometimes scarce at the pool.
- Odors & scents: Lobby smells like the signature W fig/wood scent. Some guest rooms have persistent 'damp' or 'sewage' smells (common in Ibiza plumbing).

Áður en þú bókar
Gott að vita
- The hotel is V-shaped; inner rooms face the pool and noise, outer rooms are quieter.
- Valet parking is €25/day and essential as street parking is scarce.
- Breakfast is excellent but costs ~€35/person if not included in your rate.
Hvað á að pakka
- Earplugs for the afternoon nap (bass travels)
- European power adapter (USB ports are plentiful but finicky)
- Water shoes if you plan to swim at the rocky beaches nearby
Herbergis-Genie
Bestu val
- Fabulous Room (Sea View) for the best balance of view and light
- Spectacular Room for a private plunge pool (though these often lack privacy from balconies above)
- Cool Corner Room for actual breathing space (35 sqm)
Herbergi til að forðast
- Cozy Rooms (too small, view of trash cans/parking)
- Wonderful Rooms on low floors facing the inner 'V' of the pool (noise trap)
Herbergisbeiðna-Genie – afrita og líma
“I am requesting a room on a high floor (4th or 5th) facing OUTWARD toward the sea or city, NOT facing the inner pool courtyard, to avoid the DJ bass. Please ensure the room has been recently inspected for damp smells.”
Algengar spurningar og falin ábendingar
Allt sem þú vilt vita áður en þú bókar.
Is there a resort fee?
No specific 'resort fee', but you must pay the Balearic Sustainable Tourism Tax (approx €4.40 per person/night).
Is the pool heated?
The main Wet Deck pool is unheated and can be chilly; the rooftop Glow pool is adults-only and generally warmer.
Can I walk to the beach?
Yes, the hotel is directly on the promenade. You cross the paved walkway to step onto the sand of Santa Eulària beach.
Is it kid-friendly?
Technically yes, but it's not 'child-focused'. The vibe is very adult/social. Teenagers might like it; toddlers will be bored.
How far is the party scene?
Ibiza Town (Pacha, etc.) is a 20-25 minute taxi ride. This area is much calmer.
Do I need a car?
If you only stay at the hotel/Santa Eulària, no. If you want to explore hidden coves, yes.
Innherja ábendingar
- ✨
The 'Glow' rooftop bar is often empty during the day—go there for peace while everyone fights for chairs at the main pool.
- ✨
Walk 5 minutes to 'Meke Café' for coffee that is infinitely better (and cheaper) than the hotel's.
- ✨
The 'Spectacular' rooms with plunge pools have almost zero privacy; people on balconies above can see right in.
5 hlutir sem þú ættir að vita áður en þú ferð
💡The 'open plan' bathrooms in standard rooms mean you can practically touch the bed from the toilet.
💡Sunbeds at the main pool are often 'reserved' with towels by 10 AM despite rules against it.
💡The 'sea view' in some lower category rooms is actually a 'slice of blue between two buildings'.
💡Room service has a €5-7 delivery charge on top of the already high prices.
💡The concierge can be hit-or-miss with bookings; do your own restaurant reservations for popular spots.
