I returned to Ibiza for the fourth time this year and my third time staying as The Playa Bella. It is a fantastic place which is situated near to lots of different types of bars.
It had great facilities for the children as normal, the only downside this year was the entertainment. In previous years we have spent every night in The Playa Bella bar but this year I have to admit we only stayed there once and that was to see the drag act who were only on one night throughout the summer.
As normal the staff were really helpful and friendly.
The rooms and pool area were spotlessly clean at all times.
I would highly recommend The Playa Bella and we can't wait until next summer to return!!

We arrived 12 August with our 2 teenage daughters, rooms were adequate, location was excellent as it has it's own streatch of beach.
The swimming Pool is wonderful.
Rooms were cleaned aprox 3 times a week, would have been nice for fresh daily towels. (but sadly you can't have everything)
Plenty of shops and bars in the surrounded area which we used on our second week.
Brilliant duo called Brotherhood who performed there (although they were extremely loud)
However I do have a serious concern, regarding the entertainment crew (unfortunately can't mention everything here) consisted of a elderly couple who did not really fit the role of entertainment crew, The man seemed to be over familier with the young ladies, while his wife sat looking miserable, my daughter felt uneasy around him, which is why we spent our second week around the local bars.
Yes i would go back, but only if the entertainment crew were changed, again I can't really go into detail due to this site's rules.
All in all a nice place in a nice area, just keep an eye on your daughters, but then I suppose everyone does

Just returned from a week at Playa Bella.
Only complaints were not enough parasols and expect everyone to be out of pool by 6.30pm! Could have emptied bins more often( only twice in week ) but not a real problem.
Starting to get noisier at hotel opposite. Apart from this had a brilliant time,location excellent,plenty sunbeds,apartments clean with wonderful views,breakfast at beach restaurant really good value for 3.50 euros.

Pros: This is a great place to stay. Right next to the beach - good pool area and very hard working staff. What a joy compared to the Fiesta Tanit we stayed in about 4 years ago. It felt like a different world. It was very hot when we got there (90 degrees +)- I can't exist without air-con and it was very welcome.
The bars attached to the apartments are good for food. I preferred the bar at the top of the steps but the Bahia bar was good as well.
Lovely views of the bay while sat outside the Bahia bar. The kids loved it (10 and 7) - the bouncy castle and trampolines were excellent and in a safe enclosed area so you knew they were ok. Try the little beach bar which is 50 yards up the beach on the left as you face the sea. One highlight was the water bus that ferries you over to San Antonio town. The stop is situated past the beach bar on a little jetty. You can see it from the apartments.
The pros vastly outweigh the cons but there was a few of them.
Cons: The hotel opposite our rooms was very noisy - mostly kids on their own - coming back from the clubs at all times of the night/morning. Out apt was quite small - but this meant the air-con was more efficient. Two bedrooms but only one toilet was a little restrictive. Make sure you get your air-con controller on arrival as we had to go back for ours (deposit only - no charge as mentioned by someone else here.) It wouldn't have killed them to remind us of this before we tramped all the way round the complex to find our room.
Also the shows were very noisy up to midnight - this only bothered us a couple of nights as most days we stayed out past midnight!!
On the whole I was well pleased with this place and would certainly consider going back- just get a room on the side of the opts not facing the Spar and hotel next door!!!!

I visited Palya Beela In Sept 05, and i was quite disappointed. The beach had a weird smell at night and came into the apartment so patio doors had to be keped closed. note you will have to pay extra for A/C when you get there.
The Apartments were small and we only had it cleaned twice a week (brouchere stated Four times a week)Pool was clean but i had to get up at 8.00 every morning just to get a sun lounger.
The location i did not rate as it was too english there was no tradional spainish resturants and the arcades playground parks were too in your face.
The boat ride to San Antonio Bay was Pleasant.
I would definaltey recommend to anyone hiring a car the island is beautiful.

Have just got back from Playa Bella apartments and have to say that I am pleasantly surprised.
It was the first time I have been to Ibiza but the complex was just superb. We really had a great time and rarely left the complex.
The staff were just so friendly and made you feel so welcome. There are restaurants and bars throughout the complex.
Thumbs up. We will be back next year.

We have just returned from a weeks stay at the Playa Bella. There were 2 adults and 2 15 year olds in our party staying in a one bedromm appt. Overall the Playa Bella appartments are clean and are in an excellent location for the beach and main street. The staff are friendly and the catering outlets on site overlook the sea and provide good food at reasonable prices. However we were unlucky to have been given an appartment with an extremely small balcony and a view of the Spar shop roof. The majority of other rooms overlooked the sea. The ventilation in the bathroom was poor and the living accomodation was small. It was quite noisy at night. It was good value for money especially for families with younger children. However I wouldn't return as it was too small for a grown family.

We stayed at the apartments for a week.
The apartment was too small especially the bathroom no where to hang bath towels, the balcony was bigger than the apartment itself. The cleaners only cleaned the apartment twice while we were there and they didn

Just returned from Playa Bella apartments and had to write a review to rave about the complex to everyone. The complex is situated right on the beach. The apartments are spacious and the complex/room were extremely clean. The entertainment was great and we didnt leave the complex for the entire two weeks. I really would recommend Playa Bella. I will be back next year!
