Apartamentos del Rey

Had a great 3 weeks restaurant staff fantastic nothing to much trouble and always happy, food was presented to high standard. Will be returning. This is set in a great area for swimming and snorkeling. Also easy to catch the bus ti Ibiza old town.

Can not deny this likely has the best views in Portinatx and this by far out-weighs the negatives and 3 star. The pool and views are more 5 star! Still thought £1650 for 11 nights was expensive but not compared to all other accommodation in Ibiza and only place in Portinatx available that is not Adult Only. Actually loved it all. Had to pay extra for air con as room on front (best view of the bay) was so incredibly hot due to sun setting on it (balcony to warm to sit on at night!) but it was mid August so can’t complain. Without aircon incredibly hot (too hot to cope with) at night and a little bit noisy when patio doors are open at the front due to restaurant next door and road. Absolutely fine once purchased air on and could shut the doors and worth it for the beautiful view! Only complaint was not for Del Rey but the all inclusive hotel on the bay of the beach in front booming British cabaret acts and really old music for an hour at 10/10.30pm every night. I’ve no idea how they are allowed to get away with disturbing the WHOLE resort of Portinatx…nothing in the accommodations power to do anything though so not a reflection on Del Rey. I honestly loved this place and resort and would look to go back. I do think the prices are high but it is cheaper in other off peak seasons/even July. Staff were at hand in the downstairs office and really attentive helpful when electric went off once and I made a small complaint about noise in neighbouring restaurant (lots of people eating and joking around at 2.30am!) but again, out of their control and fine once we purchased aircon and shut doors. Restaurants nearby all seem to price match and were overpriced sadly. We spent a lot compared to other holidays. One cafe (Rincon Verde) up the road charged us 23 eur for a jug of sangria (after not issuing us a drinks menu). Not sure if this is standard. Doubt it as we weren’t charged that elsewhere at nicer places. All in all a wonderful family holiday, Del Rey has the best location and everything you need with kids is within a 5 min walk in the resort which has 3 beaches. Water sports great and we hired a car which was cheap to visit other areas, Ibiza town, Benirras beach, San Joan market. Loved it all.

Been going here the last 17 years the place is dated but the pool the staff are amazing beach is beautiful restaurant downstairs great food second home. Apartments are dated but clean and have everything you need especially 2 bedroom apartments with 2 bathrooms always a bonus when there’s a lot of you
