Only back from the Sirenis and I have to agree with what has already been said consistenly here; the hotel and rooms are spotless and the staff extremely pleasant. The swimming pool(s) are well maintained and cater for everyone from infants to the seasoned swimmer.

Prices for food/lollies etc are, as usual, more expensive in the hotel but the walk into the main town is pleasant and when you arrive there are loads of restaurants and supermarkets which are reasonably priced. A word of caution though, women (or men) that carry their handbags in their hands (and not over their shoulder!) should beware, as I witnessed one distraught woman have her handbag snatched by a local on a moped - your reps will warn you of this on your arrival and how to take necessary precautions.

Hotel reps provides entertainment throughout the day which starts at 10.00am and culminates in a different show each evening and they are thoroughly enjoyable!

I would definitely go back to this hotel if it existed in another location, but I wouldn't return to Port de Torrents, or any location, that I had visited already preferring to see as many different places as possible!

We were there before a year ago, in September. No big changes spotted since then. Strange thing - aircon did not work this time, end of June, though worked last year, end of September when the weather was much milder. Finally they did turn it on, approx on 20th of June, after multiple complains. By the way the temperature around, according street thermometers in SA&Ibiza Town was 34-35, maximum I spotted was 38 (in reality, I think, 32-33 was better esteem).

The first of two weeks (since 17th) happened to be out of peak season, the second one - within. Lots of youngsters had arrived last week, much more noise at nights. Pool area became overcrowded. In general, I think, for families with small kids it is better to avoid high season here.

Local entertainment (by reps) was as good (or as bad, it depends) as before but this time they regularly invited more external forces that was definitely plus.

As usually, neighbouring sister-hotel Aura was better in general though their entertainment seemingly dropped this year: last year professionals worked there. Still Aura was less noisy, less populated and more comfortable. Reminder: you can walk freely into Aura and spend the whole day there as both hotels are owned by Sirenis group.

One day we attended SeaView' restaurant (breakfast and dinner) and did not enjoy the meal at all: nothing particularly wrong but very plain and boring, it seemed better for us outside.

Staff was good and helping but we had a minor trouble with reception: we did not store the receipt for TV remote control deposit (why should we since we had the thing itself? Nobody told us). Then it took some efforts from us to get the deposit back. Repair and maintenance was quite efficient, e.g., our aircon happened to be broken - they fixed it in no time.

General impression - SeaView is probably not bad at all, in comparison with others on the island, and we might come back here again. But not next time, we should give it a break.

We have just returned from the Seaview for the second year running. The hotel itself is absolutely spotless with maids coming in every day to clean room. The food in the hotel is excellent with a lot to choose from.
Even the fussiest of eaters shouldn't have a problem.

The location of the hotel is very good. We went into town most nights (not San Antonio). We either got the bus outside the hotel at five psst the hour or walked which took about ten minutes.

The walk into town is lovely with a view over San Antonio Bay. There are plenty of shops, bars and restaurants. Bars have plenty of things for the kids with bouncy castles, fun slides etc.

The entertainment in the hotel is not as good as it was last year. We found this year the entertainments team didn't have a lot going for them. They didn't have as many daytime activities as last year. They did splash dance just about every day last year whereas this year I could probably count on one hand how many times they did it. They also play bingo every night for bar vouchers which were very good prizes, however some nights it dragged on for about half an hour or more which meant the kids started getting bored with the game.

The hotel staff all speak very good English and are very pleasant. We had a few minor problems which were sorted out straight away. Also the plus side about this year is they had fitted an oven, microwave and fridge in the room which was great to keep your drinks cold.

Couldn't fault this hotel at all apart from the entertainment and would definately return next year. (Bring back last years entertainers - they were very good).

We booked this holiday only a week before departure and really got lucky.

The hotel is so clean - the rooms, public areas and outside spaces including the pools.

We are all vegetarians and found that we had an ok choice for meals, breakfast more so than evening meal but all the food was tasty and hot and the dessert choice was great. We did struggle at luchtimes and had the choice of going into the resort itself or eating at the poolside restaurant which had a limited menu as everywhere else both inside the hotel and immediately outside provided pre-made bagettes which all contained meat. We were a little sick of pizza and chips by the end of the holiday.

The childrens pool is great and not too crowded at mid season although towards the end of our holiday we did find that the large pool was too crowded with older children arriving which meant more children were choosing to use the baby pool but I guess that is to be expected.

There was always plenty of sunbeds and we didn't have to get up early just dropped our towels off when heading to breakfast. All the children shared their toys and inflatables really well too.

We didnt have aircon for the first two nights but as the temp was hotter than usual and after pressure from guests airtours paid for it to go on. Some people had offered to pay extra but it had to go on in blocks of accommodation so it had to come from the holiday company.

The supermarket opposite the hotel is very very expensive - I paid 6 euros for one small pack of baby wipes. But walk towards the resort and past the roundabout then there are much cheaper supermarkets and lots of shops and bars all very reasonable.

The evening entertainment was ok - my daughter who was 17 months loved the mini disco and we were lucky that our balcony looked towards the entertainment so we could put her to bed and sit on the balcony with cocktails. Our first night the entertainment was too loud but we never had that problem again. Just one member of the entertainment team liked whooping all time time - that did get anoying.

We are definately going back to this hotel when our daughter can join the kids club.

We booked this holiday only a week before travelling and really got lucky. The room, hotel and outside areas are spotless. We found all the staff especially the maids, waiters and waitresses were fantastic with children.

We are all vegetarians and had an ok choice to eat in the dining room - breakfast was better than the evening meal for choice. The food itself was lovely and we felt was excellent value for money. Unfortunatley we struggled at lunchtime as only the hotel poolside resturant offered anything for us. The bagette bar and all the cafes within a short walking distance provide pre-made bagettes which all had meat in them.

The supermarket opposite is owned by the hotel and is very expensive but a five/ten minute walk into the resort past the roundabout and there were plenty of shops, restaurants and supermarkets at reasonable prices.

There was no airconditioning for the first 2 nights but as the temp was higher than norm airtours agreed to pay for aircon in the rooms. Many people had offered to pay for their room but they had to be done in blocks. The hotel did have fans for hire but they just circulated the warm air.

The pool area is great for kids of all ages. We stayed mainly around the baby pool which is walk in and fantastic for the really young children. The other pool did get very busy and we noticed that at the end of our holiday with more older children arriving it very boisterous and a few more children were using the baby pool instead.

The entertainment was ok - alot of annoying whooping from one entertainer but fine other than that.

We are definately going back when our daughter is 3 and can join the kids clubs - she loved the mini disco every night and of course the pool!

Excellent hotel, spotlessly clean throughout and very nice. The rooms were cleaned every day. The staff on reception were very helpful and friendly and spoke very good english.

We had a very nice view over the swimming pools and also a seaview. The swimming pools were excellent, nicely set out and there was a perfect small seperate shallow pool for the kids. The complex is nicely set out with bars, restaurant, coffee lounge, spacious reception, gym, jacuzzi and cinema all inside the main hotel. There are snack bars around the pool and a stage outside as well for entertainment.

One thing we thought was very good was the kids club which was situated in the complex in seperate buildings. One was a creche and there was also a seperate building for the youngsters who were in either Dizzy the Dolphin or Shades the Shark group. There were several choices on times you could take your children, usually 3 or 4 times a day. Most sessions lasted 2 hours and if you booked with Airtours you got some of them free. There were 2 or 3 sesssions which were themed sessions in which you had to pay a small charge.

The Airtours reps worked very hard throughout the day,from nine in the morning until almost midnight. There was a small team there in reception to deal with any problems and give information, plus there was a dedicated team of approximately 15 who entertained by organising water-polo, football, table-tennis, snooker and various other daytime activitities before providing the evening entertainment which included a mini-disco, bingo, quizzes and various shows throughout the week. As the formula is similar every night, some may find this a bit monotonous. I suggest that if you have kids, what we found was best was that you take them to the mini-disco which ran from 8-9 for a couple of nights then break that routine up with a night out in Port des Torrent or San Antonio and then go to the mini-disco and watch the entertainers cabaret for a night or two, then it provides a bit of variety throughout your stay.

Having said that the entertainers were good and put on a good show and come across as friendly, even the entertainments manager joined in with the rest of his team when performing. The kids will love it and it was very enjoyable. Thanks to the entertainments team there for making it so enjoyable. There's lots to do if you want to join in or you can simply relax and watch the kids play.

The kids will love Dizzy the Dolphin and Shades the Shark and mums and dads will end up dancing at the disco with their little tots to dances especially the catchy and fun Cartoon Heroes.

We would certainly want to go back next year as it's the ideal place for a family and hopefully once we start saving our pennies again we will hopefully keep that promise.

We have just come back from the Serenis Seaview Hotel two days ago and it was one of the most fantastic holidays we have had.

From early morning until after midnight there is a bustle of activity. If you are looking for a fun packed holiday then this is the place to be, from 10.30 in the morning until 4.30 you have activities for the adults and kids including water polo, killer pool and splash dance. Everyone gets involved.

The Airtours reps are the best, Su, Andy Courtney, Nick, Erica, Mark and Mikey you were definitely our Cartoon Heroes (still keep singing that song and doing the dance at home!!!) The weather was exceptional for this time of year even the locals were commenting on it so we have been lucky for October.

We were self catering but did try the restaurant once which cost us nearly

Hotel very nice and large enough for you to loose yourself in. Pool is very clean with two kiddies areas at either end and a separate one too with non-slip floor although a bit slippery round the edges.

Plenty of sunbeds and a mattresses can be hired from the gym downstairs. Food round the pool is good and saves you the walk anywhere else when it is hot.

The studios are nice and clean and functional with a kettle, toaster and microwave if you choose to cook. They have blackout liners on the curtains as the sun shines right through if you're on the right side and towels were changed every day...sheets weren't.

They play a movie everyday through the TV in the rooms and in the cinema at about 4.30, such as Nemo, monster inc etc. which keep the little ones amused. Entertainment is what you expect and what you make it. Kiddies disco at 8pm with games. A little geared for the older child rather than a 2 year old but the dancing is good and of course the cartoon heroes song will drive you mad. There is an outside covered play area which you can sit outside and watch them play and have a drink which is nice as you are still within the hotel grounds.

The reception area is spotless and you see people cleaning up the fallen leaves which I have never seen before.

The Sirenis Seaview is a large and very well kept complex with lots going on both day and night whatever the weather.

We used the hotel restaurant on the night of our arrival, and although a bit pricey at

We have just returned today (October 17th 2004) from a 2 week holiday Half Board at the Seaview Hotel. I am mainly writing this report for all of you out there who are eager to find out what the hotel is really like, before leaving. We too read several reports and most of them excellent, as well they should be given the high standard of this 4* hotel.

I was pleased with the selection of food offered in the restaurant on Half Board option, I myself hate fish and am not keen on much meat but always had a plate full of lovely food, and this is surprising as I am a really fussy eater. I overhead a few people (definitely in the minority) complaining that the bread was stale and the food was not hot enough but I really don't know what they could possibly find to realistically complain about, I think they were just making mountains out of molehills, so to speak!

Although we were a young couple (22 and 25) the entertainment was, the most part, good but obviously being a family orientated hotel you could not expect everything to revolve around adult entertainment.

If you have children believe me they will never get bored there is something going on for them from early morning. The entertainment staff were excellent, Mark, Mikey, Courtney, Nick & Erica to name a few.

Location of hotel is just off a sandy beach which was quiet when we visited but in peak season could imagine being quite busy.

Pool area is stunning, looks just like photos as does the room.

Maid came every day and made beds, changed sheets regularly and always had fresh towels for us if required, could not complain at all about the cleanliness of the whole hotel.

We had a great holiday and even though visited in mid October Temperatures were in high 30's.

Take advantage of Bus outside hotel to San Antonio Bay but recommend you give Ibiza Town a miss, there is nothing there.

Sadly though one drawback, I know but there has to be something, the drinks in the hotel are really quite pricey, oh well you can't have it all but what you pay for them you receive back in the excellent service, waiters serve drinks to our table, hey can't be bad!!

Hope you all have a fab Hol!!
