Hi Mark,
also going to Santa Eulalia in couple of weeks , with similar aged children (Orquidea hotel).
Was the resort ok for kids ? Did you get out and about on an evening or mainly stay in hotel.
Did you visit Es Cana ?
Any info at all on the resort etc would be much appreciated.
Cheers in advance.

Hi, I am sure Markas will be able to help you with this as well... but from my experiences (I used to live in Santa Eulalia and was on holiday there in May) the beach is absouetly fantasic, probably one of the best inner town beaches you will find worldwide, around it is many international bars, cafes and restuarants including many english if you want to go all the way to Spain to eat English food! There are no sunbeds for hire in Santa Eulalia unless they have been added recently.

The resort its self has a very adult feel to it, with children not really catered for as much as in other resorts on the island which is exactly why most visit there.

hi every one,we got back from santa eulalia on sunday the are plenty of sunbeds to hire on the beach outside the riomar hotel.cost 3 euros each and 3 euros for the umbrella.we used these quite a lot. we are 2 adults with 4 kids,but we only got 2 because the kids were in and out of the sea all the time.the first beach towards the marina doesnt have any on,but thre is a lifeguard and a new boardwalk down to the beach.escana is brilliant for smaller kids especilly due to the funfair,its also a bit cheaper to eat out there and is a bit more chilled.we have been on holiday to both places and like each one for different reasons.have a brilliant holiday,and have a san miguel for me.ps.we tried a few restaurants daffers on restaurant street is excellent as documented everywhere.if you eat before 20.00 the 3 coursemeal is 12 euro(about £9)and the choice is massivefrom pate,prawns,crab claws stuffed mushrooms to name a few starters,fillet steak,duck prawns the list is endless.if you eat after this time the price is only 15 euros,i dont know how they can do it for the price.(some of the dishes have supplements ie king prawns but its only a couple of quid.also we had a memorable meal at the marina.at a chinese called new shanghi we all enjoyed it.we ate at mariners beach bar quite a few times,the entertainment in the evening was good.miss karla the transvestite was fun(ok for famillies)me and him the duo were good also and made my 9 year old sons night by doing a jimmy hendrix song and dedicating it to him by name.he couldnt beleive it.inside mariners thre is a small play area for 3 and under.and an indoor swing area for 3-6 but it would be fine for children a bit older. thre is a chill out area at the back with all settees and its waiter/waitress service.its a great place i would recommend it for young and old alike.thre is a pool machine for the older kids.my advice is get plenty of single euros,because all we heard was "just one more euro"a hundred times a night.have a brilliant time ive got to wait another year now.

harrisp3,
the beach is absolutely fantastic! it is cleaned every morning and is miles of pure sand....there is a bit of seaweed, though this is no problem.
parts of the beach have sunbeds at 3 euro per day, but a large area is for diy.......
there is many eateries and everyone does english, though there are specialists, including indian and chinese.
have a great time, and let us know what you think.

Mark

JMO,
my kids are 5 and 4 and wernt too interested going anywhere but to the kids club, pool and beach....none of these let me down.
your hotel is right on the beach front and was always buzzing! we were told by some residents, that your hotel entertainment is the best in town for all age groups throughout the day n night.
i would recommend at least 1 trip by local ferry for the views, buses are dirt cheap, and all the restaurants offer evening entertainment. Mariners have theme nights with live flamenco on sundays. The bridge over the river has great views with a play park at the end. Fish swim all over the place, try throwing in a full slice and see them devour it in seconds.....there are also wild ducks and acient waterfall by the roman viaduct......check out the rich n famous at the marina, speedboats from 240,000 euros 2nd hand.....hippy market isnt that good, long trek n not cheap....
Hope this helps, Mark

Hi there, don't worry your kids will love Santa Eulalia, I am simply saying that unlike resorts such as Es Cana and San An it doesn't go out of its way to cater for children as the resorts main clientele is probably couples after eating in nice resturants, soaking up the culture, reading a book on the beach and exploring the town and marina area during the evening. Maybe I should say it like this, there is family friendly entertainment to be found in Santa Eulalia but you have too do exactly that, find it! Whereas in places like Es Cana you can't miss it!

Santa Eulalia is my favourite town on the island closely followed by Ibiza Town.

If you have booked in at a decent hotel then you will probably find very good entertainment and kids clubs in there which is what most families take advantage of even in places like Es Cana anyway.

Hope you and your family have a fantasic holiday. Don't let me bumblings on put you off!

Cheers all, can't wait. Sounds a lovely place - and will make an effort to try see fair bit of the island.

Thanks mark & mobeckwith for the detailed info, Were really looking forward to our holiday
