Apartamentos Poseidon I

( 1 star , Ibiza Town , Spain )

The Poseidon Apartments in Figueretas consist of three seperate apartment blocks. We stayed in Poseidon 2 and I would recommend that you request also to stay in this block as it is the only block with a pool, reception and bar/restaurant. The rooms are clean, basic and quite big. Nice size balcony and fully air conditioned. However, air conditioning is €50 per week. The restaurant in the apartments is great for a snack or for lunch and relatively cheap. There is a Spar supermarket located next door for all the essentials and the beach is a 2 min walk. Be prepared for absolute chaos when checking in especially if there is a large group checking in at once. Safety deposit boxes are located in the reception area. Rooms cleaned most days, lots of towel changes and sheets changed twice weekly. Overall the staff are very friendly and most accommodating. Playa den Bosa is a 10/15 min walk and Ibiza Town is a 5 min taxi ride away (about €4/€5). You can also get the water taxi into Ibiza Town (€3 single/€5.50 return) from the beach which runs all day up to 11pm. San Antonio is a 15/20 min taxi ride away (about €20). Be warned that taxis in Ibiza are in very short supply and the Posedion Apartments are located in a quite area so getting a taxi can be even more difficult. Make sure to try out Triton Restaurant (walk towards Playa den Bosa on the left hand side) and La Veneda (Dalt Villa, Ibiza Town). The Posedion Apartments and Figueretas are a great base for a fantastic holiday in Ibiza.

Just back from one week in Ibiza, stayed in the Poseidon 2 apartments. Next door to hip Hotel Es Vive in Figuertas, a suburb of Ibiza town. Apartments were basic but fine, definitely ask for a sea view, some noise most nights as the reception etc. is up the road in Poseidon 1. A couple of minutes walk to the start of Playa d'Enbosa where you can get a water taxi in to Ibiza town. Playa d'Enbosa has a couple of ok bars but in comparison to Ibiza town is a complete kip and to be avoided. Ibiza town is absolutely gorgeous - a maze of crooked streets with lots of terrace restaraunts, bars and cool little boutique shops. Great for people watching and chilling out. Figuertas has a nice palm tree lined promenade, a nice little beach and some nice restaraunts (check out the Dutch owned Tapas Bar & the Mexican). Absolutely recommend Figuertas & Ibiza town.

I've heard Posidon II given some bad reviews but having stayed a week in these apartments I can honestly say that as long as you aren't expecting the Hilton these apartments provide comfortable and hassle free accommodation. The apartments are situated in between Ibiza Town and Playa den Bossa (20 minutes walk to both). So if, after a heavy night in the Ibiza clubs, you would prefer a quiet location to rest until the next installment of debauchery then Poseidon II offers just that. Its a short ride from Pacha, Space, El Divino etc so you're never too far from the action. However, the apartments have no swimming pool, bar or social activities. They are what they say they are... apartments and nothing more. Figurettes beach is 2 minutes walk and so to is the beach of Playa den Bossa (Bora Bora is a 30 minute walk). The two beachs are clean and beach like (unlike San Antonio) and Figurettes hosts a small market every night which is good fun to walk around if that takes your fancy. Figurettes also provides the pre clubber with bars (english included) and ticket sales. If you prefer a more Spanish feel to your evening then you may also find traditional Spanish music in some of the bars. The resort is popular with both Spanish and Italian holidaymakers so prepare yourself for some beautiful people.
