Gorgeous location , very friendly and lovely staff
Could use better upkeep,
I wouldn’t stay there again !
windows a bit dirty
Balcony bars coming apart in the higher rate room
Was taking a nap when someone opened my door and claimed it was their room … it was really frazzling and disturbing .

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.

The ambiance was not great and the quality of food was really poor. Overall, the hotel could use a bit of upgrade.

Our stay has been very nice, the only thing we didn't like much is that the rooms we had (Deluxe studio) were a bit too dark (no windows, only a glass door), but there was a nice patio in front and we didn't spend much time inside the rooms.
The hotel staff have been very kind and efficient.

There is good and bad it depends on what you are looking for on your stay.
Good:
This resort is very well located, my wife and I had some amazing views with excelent photos on sunsets.
We enjoyed a very nice breakfast buffet with a view.
When we did the check in, we were upgraded to a room with a sea view and that was nice.
The hotel has a friendly staff, but still with an european vibe.
It has his own (small) beach which is kinda nice although you always want to visit ses illetes beach in this island.
Bad:
The rooms are very simple and "austere". The beds have uncofortable mattresses, very cheap sheets and the pillows are small and only have 2 (one for each person).
Small elevators, during the mornings when everyone wanted to go for breakfast, 10 minutes and no elevator, so we had to take the stairs 4 floors down because you only have until 10 am, and 2 elevators for 4 persons at the time.
Worst:
You can hear everything, and I mean "everything" from your neighbors next to your room.
During both nights we stayed here people was coming in and out from their bedrooms smashing doors (all wood doors) and this hotel has no sound proof rooms, so I'm afraid my wife and I didn't rest at all, I don't mean one guest(s) next to us, everyone from front and sides were screaming, talking, smashing...
Cleanliness is not the best, there was sand on the floor when we got there and hair in the bathtub.

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!

If you want a relaxed environment where to enjoy your holiday (especially if you have young kids, Insotel Formentera Playa is the place for you. Only thing I would change is wifi access, we paid for a week's wifi (€28) but you could only connect one device at a time. I'd say at least 2 is the minimum.
