Insotel Tarida Beach Resort & SPA - All inclusive

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, the food was delicious and the staff were so friendly. Easy access to a beach with beautiful turquoise waters. Cocktails at the sunset bar, with DJ's playing, you couldn't ask for more. Our stay was nothing short of exceptional.

We've just had a great week at the Tui Blue, tarida beach hotel. We're a family of 3 ( child 3 years old) and can not fault the hotel and the staff. The negative review must be through personal choice rather than problems. The hotel is a family hotel, so if you're looking for a child free experience, don't go. The hotel has an adult only pool near the beach, and an adult only dining area. But the dining area is not in a separate place, it's just a sign saying '16+ only'. So you still go to the same buffet area and same restaurant. The dining area has an upstairs and a downstairs, the staff signpost families downstairs. Personally this is the best area, better seating and layout. But all food areas are clean, tidy and modern. The food is delicious with a great selection. The poops are cold, and salt water, but not a problem, again personal preference. The retreat is nice,its off site, but is where the children's slides are. On the main site there is a child pool, but no slides. The beach is clean and the water s lovely and clear. There's a shop selling clothes, inflatable and souvenirs opposite the retreat. A spa shop selling food and inflatable about 10 minutes walk from the hotel. A bus will take you to San Antonio for a day out opposite the retreat. A nice day out for a boat trip and shopping. If you're in 2 minds on booking, due to reviews, book! It's a lovely, modern clean hotel in a nice location. Don't book if can't walk up hills or you don't like children or nice hotels.

Pros: The resort was very pretty with low level buildings and had access to an amazing beach which is one of the best on the island. The sunsets from the beach and the sunset bar and indeed even from our room were spetacular. Rooms were spacious and well equipped, we were in the block right near restaurant and sunset bar and were not affected by noise.Contrary to other reviews we found the cleaner brilliant. She came every day and worked around us and was really friendly .There was a nice gym and spa as well as an adults only pool but our favourite place was definitely the beach. We hired a car using the in-house hire company but you can probably get it much cheaper elsewhere although the process was easy and the car was immaculate. We visited Ibiza town and various coves around the west and east coast, however we missed out on the hippy markets as no-one seemed to have the correct information as to when they are running as the season was coming to an end. The staff were all really lovely and the transfer from the airport was quick and the service from the TUI reps was fantastic. Cons: This isn't the resort to stay in if you're expecting 5* food. It is totally fine and there is plenty of choice with lots of salad bits and grilled vegetables, meat and fish always available and 3 choices of pasta every mealtime. There were mostly the same things every day although they had themed nights and some were a lot better than others. The most disappointing evening was the Iberian evening with local food which really didn't do it justice. The best was probably the Asian night. The a-la-carte italiana was worth the visit. The only other small thing to note is as others have mentioned the hotel is looking like it needs a bit of tlc in places but this didn't affect our enjoyment.
