Just back on Saturday from a week at the Abrat Hotel and we had a great time! Yeah, the hotel is stuck in a bit of a time warp decor wise, but it adds a kinda retro feel to the place and a unique identity. It should be celebrated rather then condemmed! Air-con is available at €6 a day, well worth the investment, and you can hire a fridge for the room too. Location is absolutely spot on - quiet enough at night, yet only minutes walk away from the "sunset strip". Food was of a very high standard and varied every night to suit all tastes. Staff were also great! This was my forth time to San An, and is the first hotel I felt matched the magic of the Island. 10 out of 10 for the Abrat

Booked last minute with My Travel. Surprised when we picked up our tickets at the airport to be told that we had booked an 18/30 holiday as we are in our 60's! However, when we arrived at the hotel, we asked for a quiet room and were given one on the top floor. All youngsters were allocated rooms on the bottom 2 floors. We had an exceptionally peaceful holiday. The hotel staff were very friendly, helpful and obliging. Breakfast was good, and the evening meal was O K, but chips were about the only form of potatoe available. We suppose that the youngsters preferred these! All in all an excellent hotel, which caters for both young and old, and we will certainly come back to this place again.

Myself, boyfriend, sister and partner stayed at the Abrat for a week in Jul 06 and we absolutely loved it. Highlights include: - Location: Right next to the beach, Kanya (many of the club nites run buses from here, eg Cream at Amnesia) and the sunset strip. Quiet, but on the doorstep of the hustle n bustle. West End and San An Town 10 min walk. - Rooms: very clean (maid service daily), sky tv, direct dial phone, balcony - we opted for a seaview room at 3 euro per day - worth it for the stunning views. - Food: Brilliant - best food we've had in a hotel abroad - great variety and quality. - Staff: Very friendly and helpful - we even got presented with a farewell shot when we were waiting to be picked up. When we were there the majority of the guests were young, however there was also families and older folk. Overall the hotel Word of warning tho - check with your travel agent that you have opted for air conditioning in the price as we had to pay for this on arrival - 21 euros per room for the week. Defo required tho and worth it. We will definately be back!

My boyfriend and I stayed at the Hotel Abrat for 1 week in June/July 2006. We found the hotel basic, but always clean and the staff friendly and helpful. The rooms were decorated in the bogstandard brown and cream of cheap hotels everywhere, but there was maidservice everyday, the room was clean and there were no bugs of any kind! We went half board. The food selection at breakfast was decent, with various cereals, cooked meats, cheeses and fried eggs, sausage, bacon and beans. Also croissants, dried fruit, fresh fruit juice and a coffee machine. Though all the food served at dinner was edible enough, if it wasnt deep fried, it wasnt on the menu! (slight exageration - soup and salad was available at the buffet every night). There was however a distinct lack of vegetables to accompany the main course, unless they had been drowned in grease. 5 nights out of 7 the only potatoes on the menu were chips. There was a good dessert selection though. We had to pay for air-conditioning once we got there (a neccesity when temperatures were mid-30's), this cost about 6 euros a day. The hotel is right on the outskirts of San Antonio. We liked the fact that we wern't subjected to clubbers hollering as they traipsed past! It was only a 20 minute walk down to the marina and shops. Cala des Moro is a small sandy beach beside the hotel, but is very crowded and quite rowdy. For something quieter, head away from San Antonio to Cala Gracio, a lovely cove with a lifeguard and snack bar. Its a 10 or 15 minute walk, just turn left when you exit the hotel through the front door. Or you can catch a water taxi from the marina in San Antonio out to Cala Bassa - the most beautiful beach ever! Hotel clientel was a strange mix. 30% older couples,10% families with young children and 60% clubbers. Hardly saw the ravers though - they were fast asleep during breakfast and we spent the day out and about. Do have to say though, that 'dressing for dinner' isnt essential at the Hotel Abrat - saw a bright young thing eating in towelling shorts so short you could see her bum cheeks (but maybe you're into that sort of thing!) Anyway, it was cheap, cheerful and clean. Not a hotel where i'd want to spend my days lounging by the pool (its not that big and populated by hungover clubbers), but perfect as a base for exploring the island.

Hotel is in a great location, overlooking the bay and only a few minutes walk thro' the hotel garden to the beach. Our rooms were cleaned every day with fresh towels and the hotel food was very nice indeed. Only 10 minute walk to cafe mambo, cafe del mar etc so you can watch the sunset and chill, then another 5 minutes to the west end. Good value!!

I've stayed in the Hotel Abrat twice, once through a package and once booking it independently and both visits have been excellent. The hotel's locations is excellent if you want to enjoy the bars and clubs of Ibiza but don't want to be surrounded by lager louts. Looking out onto Calle del Moro it is a short 5 minute walk from some excellent bars and restaurants such as Coastline and Cafe Mambo and if you really want to go to the very tacky west end then that's only about a 15 minute walk. The hotel itself is very clean and both times our rooms have had sea views without having to pay any extra. The rooms aren't huge but comfortably sleep 3 (with one on a camp bed). The food is fairly standard but both times we have been half board as have got fantastic deals and you can always eat there to save yourself some money before going out. There is a nice pool looking out to sea but it does get very hot round there as a perspex wall surrounds the pool to protect it from the sea breeze. The staff in the hotel are extremely friendly and will organise car hire, trips etc. if you need them too. I would definately stay at this hotel again and would recommend to anyone looking for a good base to explore from.

I cannot understand why people think this hotel is great?? It isnt the worst hotel in the world but for the money we paid I think it was appalling. The food in the restaurant was ok some nights and other nights quite disgusting. You have to pay even for water in the restaurant when you have half board. The reception staff were very rude. We stayed on a floor were people were playing music and banging doors at all hours. I came for a clubbing holiday but we at least had the courtesy to be quiet coming back in the morning to be quiet. You have to pay 7 euros per night for air conditioning and you do need it!! We only had our room cleaned one day which was disgusting and the reception staff were rude when I asked for clean towels. The location of the hotel is great though, its just enough out of the way to be quiet but walking distance into the centre. I would definitely not stay here again.

We found the hotel comfortable, all the staff (with one exception on reception) very friendly and helpful. The rooms were cleaned daily and clean towels provided every day. We know we didn't pay mega bucks for our holiday but we found the food in the evening lacking variety and the overall presentation poor, however, if you made breakfast that was good. We were disturbed at night by the clubbers coming in, especially one night about 3a.m. with music blaring above us, but on complaining to the night receptionist he acted immediately and the music stopped. We were on the first floor amongst it all so it might be worth requesting top floors for for a bit more peace and quiet. The pool was good and the gardens were lovely, very peaceful and lots of shade. The beach was on the doorstep but was very small and very busy - but nice enough. The nightlife is a bit of a walk, you can take the scenic route by the sea, bit of a trek though, or take the shorter route via the back streets. Taking everything into consideration on the whole it was a good hotel and holiday and you had the extra bonus of seeing the beautiful sunsets every night!

Stayed at the Abrat in mid October.Staff very friendly. Hotel clean, good food.10 min walk to west end & harbour (for buses). Pool, Tennis court. Good for singles, couples & families this hotel will cater well for all. Loved my stay here with all the great bunch of people I met. I would come back.Great Fun James
