We stayed in the Sal Rossa in June 2005 for the first time.

On arrival we found the apartments ideally located in the center of Playa D'en Bossa.

The staff were very friendly and helpful.

The apartments were basic and very clean. The only thing they lacked was air conditioning.

We went to Sal Rossa as our first ever family holiday abroad. On arrival (late at night) we were shown to our room, I was thrilled to bits to be allocated a room on the ground floor. The smile soon disappeared as I opened the patio curtains and found my view to be a bush eek. The room was very very basic, our children had the bedroom, I had the sofa and my better half had the bed on wheels, a tip for anyone going to this resort, the bed on wheels does rise up to the sofa bed level, we discovered this a few nights before we left haha.

Even though the maids couldnt speak any english, they were very friendly, changed our sheets and made sure we always had clean towels, floors were dirty though. The pool area was always spotless, until the tail end of our stay when large groups arrived and left their glasses and rubbish round the pool.

The entertainment was okish, was held nightly round the pool, alternate nights with next doors hotel, it was how I would imagine Pontins to be, Kareoko Kev was terrible, he cleared the pool area one night after he had sang just one song, how funny, the Britney Spears imperosnator was good, my little girl fell in love with Ricky G

The location of this resort was fantastic, for the first week and a half of our stay beds round the pool were not a problem to get, even late into the day, different story at the end of our stay, when the resort started to fill up.

The food served here was fantastic, especially breakfast. The waitors and bar staff were so friendly and worked their socks off, our rep Hayley was a star, sunset cruise was a lovely night out.

The chinese round the corner from Sal Rossa was fantastic, Can Joan, a new restaurant served the best lasagne and steak in the world. The out door BBQ restaurant was lovely also. Ibiza Town is a must, and San Antonio was a fab night out. The waterpark was a fun day out also.

Even though we loved our first family holiday here, everything that could be done here we did, so we see no point in returning and now want to see different places.

Basic this resort might be, but trust me the staff and the amazing location makes up for this, if the rooms in this resort were updated it would be a flawless place to stay. One last thing, for anyone who wakes early, go and sit by the pool and watch the sunrise, you will have the whole resort to yourself :O)

I found that the apartments Sal Rossa wasnt clean, the entertainment wasnt good and the staff wasant helpful they were rude.

Bar staff would serve the Spanish before us and it didnt matter if you were waiting a long time in would walk a local an they would get server straight away. we stayed there for 14nights and it was the longest 14 days of my life.

After being there 9 days we had to ask for our bed sheets to be cleanned and fresh put on and ask for towells and ask for them to clean the floor, but I will say one thing good for the appartments sal rossa is that it is in a fantastic location right on the beach but honestly that is the only good thing about it.

I stayed here with my partner in 2003 and could not fault the place at all. It's situated directly on the beach, and close to all the shops, bars and restaurants but I never encounted any sleepless nights as it's location is not in a noisy area.

The rooms were cleaned regularly and had all the essentials. My fridge broke one day and was replaced within the hour.

I would certainly stay here again, with friends, family or as a couple.

The overhead planes are very close but did not bother us as you get used to them after a couple of days and the kids sat around the poolbar loved to watch them flying over.
