Disappointing hotel
A few key issues with our stay: 1- first room we got given was awful. It stank of damp, opened onto a busy ground floor communal outdoor space and was not clean. Finally we managed to move to a room in the same 'category' which was much more amenable. We were very happy for that and appreciate the reception staff who helped. They weren't surprised at our complaint. 2- photos of the hotel on the site include a decent sized fitness centre, however this was closed and you couldn't use it even on a booking basis - I think it's completely gone now although unclear, photos need to be updated on hotels.com 3- breakfast was pretty poor, luckily there are nice restaurants within walking distance. It seems everyone who stays here is on all inclusive. 4- room is called a studio but comes with nothing in the kitchen, no crockery, cutlery or pots and pans.

This is not a 4 star hotel at all, not sure if it is a 3 stars Only one buffet restaurant that opens until 9:30pm No room service If you need an iron you have to go to the front desk, leave a deposit of 50 euros and return it immediately as there is only one iron for the entire hotel You have to go to the front desk to ask for soap and shampoo as the service does not replace If you need towels for the pool make sure you don’t go in any of the breaks of the pool guy in order to avoid waiting 20-30 minutes The worst piece is customer service, they treat people very bad, only one receptionist was very kind, the rest with bad mud and bad manners all the time. The manager is the worst, very rustic treating people, I believe he never had a training on customer service The good thing is that Formentera is so beautiful, so leaving the hotel to go to other beaches was a real pleasure Nothing personal with the hotel, it shouldn’t be categorized as 4 stars, probably 2 or 3 stars will give a more realistic idea of the level of service you are going to receive.

The hotel is not a 4 star hotel. The standard is very low: The majority of the guests come with external agencies and are sold pre made all inclusive packages which, unexpectedly, drive the overall quality of the hotel. The gym has no weights and the indoor pool is a pond. All the sunbeds except the one around the pool are extra. There is a different area for breakfast for more expensive guests. The management is appalling and immature and denies the hotel has issues. The bed sheets stink Although the have refurbished the hotel recently the hallways are pretty stinky. However the place is more suitable for families with kids that like to be entertained by animation. The area is okay and pretty close to everywhere.

Excellent hotel.
Just back from a couples break in Insotel Formentera Playa. Wonderful hotel right on beach front. Generous breakfast. Great rooms. The nicest hotel staff I've come across in a long time, every one of them always had a,smile on their face. Very quiet neighbourhood however this was just what the doctor ordered literally! Great beach bar for watching the sunsets further up along the boardwalk. Beautiful chilled island. Hopefully we will be back one day!

Good breakfast, friendly staff & beautiful sunsets
Although this hotel is not equivalent to a North American 4-star hotel, it makes it up with the following pluses: - newish, clean bathroom (we stayed at one of the wings adjacent to the main hotel) - full breakfast has a wide selection (hot food, fruits, cereal) - friendly staff especially Clarissa (thanks for sightseeing tips), Adam (thanks for befriending us) and Borja (thanks for making massage and restaurant reservations) - good workout programs (I attended water zumba) - entertainment nights - young staff worked hard performing and encouraged us to join in the dancing - beautiful sunsets - easy walkway to get to seafood restaurants (went to Blue Bar twice) - South Beach Club had superb food and service - convenience store with cheap bottled water, ice cream, souvenirs (better than the markets) - free sangria and paella on Tuesdays
