Location
The hotel was very clean, and well presented however, we didn't have a rep on our transfer from the Airport (late night) so we weren't prepared for having to fill out check-in forms at reception on our arrival.
Anyway, it was dark when we got to the room, so couldn't appreciate the seaview till the morning, and it was quite impressive.
The room was spacious enough for a family of 3, with a shower/wc room, kitchenette with hob, fridge, kettle and toaster. The sleeping area was seperated from the 'lounge' by a column partition. This had a sofa and a TV (mainly german, except for BBC world news).
We were going to upgrade to Half Board, but decided not to, as our son is very picky, and preffered to make his snacks in the room, so didn't try the restaurant(s). The bars and snack bar we used were very good though, and the service excellent.
The pool was very big, with loads of sunloungers, and terracing. Only dissappointment being the toddler pool was freezing, so our son wouldn't go in.
Airtours also run a daytime creche, which had a small park next to it, but the climbing frames were a bit big for our son.
There were also Tennis Courts and a 5-A-Side footy pitch, which were shared with the neighbouring Sirenis Aura Hotel.
Entertainment was provided by Airtours, and would be better for slightly older kids (who could participate more) than our 23 month old. A slight criticism was the lack of a 'quiet' indoor area to have a drink. All of the bar areas indoors had music playing quite loud, and we had to stay outside when our son fell asleep in his buggy, and we wanted a 'nightcap'.
Outside the hotel was a strip of shops featuring, a cafe, some souvenier shops, and a supermarket which was owned/run by the hotel. Some items were a bit pricey, but generally it had what we needed for S/C.
The Beach was 5 minutes walk from the hotel entrance, just down a short ramp. Not quite the 'Steep Hill' others have mentioned. The beach was quite small, but not cramped, and this is where a water taxi boat could be caught to San Antonio Bay (3e one way/5e return).
An hourly bus service also runs from the hotel entrance to San Antonio (1.15e/adult).
Overall, the hotel is great for families, but we would have gotten more out of it if our son had been a year or two older.

Our Party consisted of four Adults, all of whom, are just of a pensionable age group.
The rooms that were allocated to us were perfect, in both size and location, with an absolutely fabulous sea view.
The reason we chose this Hotel, was being of a four star rating, and being outside of School Holidays, we had assumed that we were in for a quiet period at the end of the main season.
But, what we actually got was totally uncontrolled, and unsupervised children running riot throughout the Bars and Entertainment areas.This was very dangerous due to the Glasses and Bottles in these places. A disaster waiting to happen.
We were also not very impressed with the fact that a four star Hotel allowed their evening meal dress code to be flouted.
It is disgusting that people were being allowed into the Dining Room in Vests, Shorts and Flip-flops. The Maitre-D should deny access to those who do not want to comply with the Hotel rules.
Also, the dining room is big enough, whereby an area could be cordoned off to accomodate parents who have children with them. thus leaving a quiet area for the more elderly patrons.(This was not just our idea, as we had many complaints to this effect)
The entertainment that we did see was quite good, but could again not relax and enjoy fully, due again to noisy unruly children.
The Hotel Facilities and Staff were Excellent, and everywhere was spotlessly clean, and the Service from all Staff was beyond reproach.
None of our Party would use this Hotel again, only because of the foregoing. But, we would use this chain of Hotels in other resorts and countries, after doing a lot more research into the children aspect etc. etc.

The complex is aimed at families as is the entertainment, but there were some good shows especially the hypnotist, trying to work out who was actually under was good fun.
The food was typical of the other hotels we have been in, you can always find something. The staff, especially the bar staff were quite amusing, the ones who weren't were very professional.
The down side is the location, quite a long walk to the shops and bars although, there are a couple across the road which belong to the hotel.
We wouldn't go here again only because we didn't like Ibiza.

The Location is ideal not too far away and not in the middle of the noise, with a wonderful beach 100 meters away.
This is not my first time at the Seaview and I

The hotel is well managed and kept spotlessly clean, although we went self catering we did try the food from the snack bar at the pool side, this could be greatly improved, it seemed tasteless.
The resort is ideal for families with entertainmnet day and night for the children the evening adult entertainment is basic but usually satisfactory.
As other reviews state the resort is a short walk from San Antonio bay, here you will find plenty of small bars and restaurants, shop around all the bars prices vary but the food and drink is pretty much the same.
Rather than repeat what every other review is saying I will end this review on the following, the staff work hard to keep the place to a high standard and the service is excellent, what you make of the rest of the holiday is up to you.

The hotel was clean & tidy with friendly staff. Our room was cleaned throughly on a daily basis & was of a good standard.
The communal areas were maintained well & there were staff tidying the pool areas early every morning, even cleaning the windbreakers each morning.
Travelling as 2 single women, the hotel was not really geared towards us but I imagine if you have children this would be an excellent place to visit as I guess there would be little need to leave the complex.
We were self catering but due to some dreadful weather we upgraded to half board for 1 day. I can honestly say I would have prefered to get wet walking into the town. The food in the buffet restaurant was dreadful & whilst I wasn't expecting standards of The Ivy, I was expecting it to be edible. We also ate in the snack bar on a few occasions. Breakfast was fine (well I don't suppose you can go far wrong with toast) but some of the cooked meals were still frozen in the middle. I must admit, come the end of the holiday I was glad to be able to eat something other than chips.
We walked into the nearest resort on a few occasions. Whilst this is a nice walk in the daylight, I must admit I found it unnerving walking back in the dark.
I would be more likely to return to the hotel if I had children as it seemed like a fantastic hotel for this purpose.

We upgraded to half board at the hotel for 20 euros per day but the food was great. Also there is a seperate part of the restaurant for theme nights.
The food was well cooked and the manager made regular visits checking the food warmth and stirring the beans etc.
The entertainment was a bit of a let down but then again we did go in the late season. The airtours entertainers were good.
Also there is a little ferry that operates from the beach to San antonio during the day for 3 euros one way or 5 euro return.
Also anyone that wants to do scuba diving there is a small diving shop on the other side of the beach which only charges 45 euros as the hotel one wants 90 for the same trip.
The other great thing is the bus stop is directly outside the hotel and is only 1 euro 15 each way flat rate. The maid service were great also.
We met other family memebers out there and none of us could find fault with this great hotel. Would definately go back and are looking to do so for two weeks next year.

We had a studio apartment in Hybiscus house, with a sea view to die for. The studio was fully equipped for any cooking needed on a holiday, and if you did not feel like cooking there is the pool bar or the other facilities.
All the staff, be they cleaners (excellent) Waiters or bar staff, are friendly and eager to help at all times.
We made good use of the pool and the sun beds, the weather was very hot for the full two weeks.
he entertainment was geared to younger people but we enjoyed what we saw.
The nearby Port De's Torrent beach was a godsend to me as I love snorkeling. Also the Water taxi's to San Antonio were on time, though they could have run till a bit later at night
All in all we had the time of our lives, taken at the pace that suited us. I don't think I would be quite so satisfied in high season, but that is for the young, this time was for older people or young people with very young children, and it was just right.
We are now members of the VIP club, so we hope to be returning there about the same time next year. God, and the bank willing.

Hotel location was very good, far away from the party goers but close enough to walk to many restaurants and bars.
Hotel food was terrible, we ate there in the evening on the day we arrived and had breakfast in the morning, we purchased a half board ticket for 50 euros (2 adults and 1 child) complete waste of money, I now wish we had walked down the road. All the people saying the food is good must think places like KFC is a meal out.
It was not the cleanest of places litter everywhere, popcorn all over the floor, but in fairness they did their best.
The sunbeds..... Oh my...words can not explain this one, you will never get a bed, unless you set your alarm for 4am take your towel down, save the number of beds you want then go back to your bed. This is madness and some thing has to be done to stop it. A half thought up plan was actioned the day before we came home. They put tape around the beds, but people still put the towels downs and wondered of till 12 noon, the staff should of took all the towels from the beds where no one was there. This is a big problem and "everyone" was having a moan about it.
The swimming pool is nice and big.
The entertainment is a joke, they can't sing for toffee, but it will give you a good laugh for that reason alone.
The hotel staff were really nice people, was only shocked by one person who got in a strop because I did not tell them I was paying for our drinks on their hotel card, but other than that they were very good and very nice.
Would I return? Never in a million years !! but some people go back year after year.

All of us were very happy with the food and we are fussy eaters. The maid service was good, and the hotel was clean.
The location was good not to quiet with a short walk to the main resort, even the hotel staff were very friendly apart from the odd grumpy bar staff.
The entertainment was ok for kids but not so for adults.
