had origionally booked to stay at the hawaii hotel in san antonio but 5 days before we were due toleave our hotel was changed to this hotel. the hotel is beautifully clean although rooms are very basic and the beds are incredibly hard. no tea and coffee making facilities/hairdryer etc although it stated in the brochure they were. all of the staff were fantastic - especially one of the waiters Reuban - he is the main reason we decided to stay on at the hotel. our 2 year old daughter was besotted with him. so kind and so polite. food was absolutley awful if im telling the truth, you will be right at home if you enjoy veal and fish all the time. there is no variety and absolutley NOTHING for children. all my daughter ate for the 2 weeks that we were there was chips (which nine times out of ten were swimming in grease) and apples. all of the staff were very obliging and nothing seemed 2 much trouble for them. the location of the hotel isnt perfect but was quiet at night and only a 5 minute bus ride from san antonio bay. entertainment is also below average - the same all the time - nothing much to keep you entertained - kids mini disco was great the first night but 13 days later and its exactly the same music - prooved a tad frustrating for our daughter, it was mainly the food that was our biggest moan about the hotel. thouroughly enjoyed the overall holiday though.

Have just come back from a week's stay at the Barcelo Pueblo. For a three star hotel in Spain, this place is well above average and for my £30 per night half board was excellent value for money. The hotel is spread through 5 or 6 seperate blocks within immaculately kept grounds. The decor of the rooms is not perhaps the most up-to-date but they are clean, functional and have individually controled air conditioning (if you stay here bear in mind that the air con will not operate if the balcony door is open). Clientelle when I was there were predominantly Italian and Spanish, with a few Scots, English, Dutch & French. It is very much a Spanish orientated hotel, which is great, this is Spain after all! Everyone very pleasant, laid back and politely behaved. No loud, boisterous, hard drinking types here, the bar/terrace is deserted by midnight!
There are TVs in the rooms with the majority of channels in Spanish which is okay if you understand a little (there is only one English speaking channel. Balconies are on the small side, barely room for two chairs; they also have a small clothes drier rack. On the odd occassion the temperature of the hot water was on the low side (especially around 7.30-9pm, probably due to volume showering).
The buffet breakfast and buffet dinner (7-9.30) were excellent, with a huge choice of salads, meats, grill, hot dishes and sweets (the choice was so extensive there was something to suit even the fussiest of eaters). The food was largely of a Spanish/International variety and you can eat as much as you want. You can pay 15 Euros to go all inclusive - this gives you full board and drinks - again excellent value if you intend to stay around the very pleasant hotel pools all week.
Port des Torrent is somewhat isolated with only a few small shops a handful of cafe/bars and a solitary beach chill-out bar - a fab place to watch the sun go down. The small beach is quite nice and very safe for swimming. There is a regular bus service to San Antonio - but if the nightlife of San Antonio is what you like then Port des Torrent is probably not for you; this is a place to relax and chill out.
I would say it's best to hire a car for the week while here and explore the magic island that is Ibiza. Enjoy!

We have just come back from a weeks stay at this hotel. We found the hotel very clean and tidy the staff always seemed to be cleaning. The room was basic but very clean and had a change of towels every day.
The pool areas always clean with 3 different pools to choose from. The sports area around the side of the hotel consisted of pool, tennis courts , volley ball, table tennis, spa and not to forget the self service bar area with snacks.
We upgraded to all inclusive once we arrived at the hotel which was very easy to do. The food was varried with choices of both meat & fish and always fresh salads and fruit available.
Entertainment is quite hit and miss but the parrot show and the magician that was on was really good. Plenty to do for the kids aswell with the reps playing games and making things with them
This resort is in a fairly quiet area with San Antonio just 10 - 15 minutes down the road by bus which was really cheap and run every hour til 7 in the morning.
On the whole we would reccomend the hotel and are planning to go back same time 2008!

Hi, We have just returned from the Barcelo, four of us, two eighteen year olds and two fifty year olds and we all had a really good time. We went all inclusive which i recomend because the isolation of the hotel makes getting food outside the hotel quite hard and the few local restaurants seem to be quite expensive. The food was all good but the menu was a bit repetitive with a large amount of fish and pork nearly every night. Plenty of spirits and choice on the all inclusive drinks and the small snack bar is serve yourself on beer, wine and soft drinks.

The pools are lovely with the small snack bar pool being quite deep and more suitable for adults and the larger pools being very family friendly.

The local area is quiet and there is a small beach with pedalos which
are good for an hour out at sea and are very cheap. There are boat trips to san antonio regularly and they are priced at 6 euro return. I dont recomend the bull bar by the beach because the service is really bad and the waiters are more like zombies than people.

Overall a great holiday. If you are going there im sure you will have
a really great time!!!
