Anfora Playa Hotel 2 stars

Anfora Playa Hotel is set on the east coast of the island, in the popular resort of Es Cana. Its golden sandy beach lined with a variety of bars and restaurants is what makes people come back year after year. From Irish bars to lively pubs with karaoke and chill out lounges, there is enough to please everyone in the evening.

The hotel is just a 5 minute walk to the beach and the famous hippie market and many shops are just a 10 minute walk for that ever so important shopping spree. If you are looking to explore the rest of this beautiful island, then the local bus service is a great way to start, or maybe you would like to take the local ferry. There is so much amazing countryside and picturesque towns and villages to visit, but let's not forget the famous nightclubs that everyone talks about, such as Pacha and Amnesia. There are some amazing experiences to be had on the island and whatever your preference is, Ibiza really does have something for everyone.

The Anfora Playa Hotel's air conditioned reception is open 24 hours to all guests, offering a friendly service, to ensure you have an enjoyable stay. At reception you are able to get currency exchange, room service and cot and high chair hire. There is a laundry room, which has a self service coin operated machine and close by are the lifts down to car parking spaces for those wishing to hire a car and explore the rest of the island.

The hotel has been renovated and designed to accommodate disabled guests in the public areas and the rooms, and lifts are available to all floors. Air conditioning is available in all public areas and most areas are also a Wi-Fi zone. If you need wired internet access, this can be available by request and there are a few computer desks with internet access.

There is a fabulous swimming pool, with a children's area, where all the fun and games take place. There is an additional swimming pool for those who want to relax in the peace and quiet at the rear of the hotel grounds. Surrounding both swimming pools are the sun terraces, with ample sun loungers with parasols, for those lazy days under the sun.

To keep the family entertained throughout the day and evening, the hotel offers many activities for the guests including aerobics, pool, table tennis, games in the swimming pool and any additional watersports at the beach can be booked through the hotel reception. There is a Sky TV lounge for those important football games and in the evening, they provide entertainment on either the outdoor or indoor stages.

Very popular with the parents is the kids club and children's play area, as this allows them more time to lie back and enjoy the Ibizan sun.

The hotel restaurant is a buffet style that offers an array of local and international cuisine and meals that would be appreciated by the children. You could then move on to the lounge bar for a cocktail or two and enjoy the entertainment that has been provided by the hotel.

All rooms have twin beds, bedside tables, a large desk/dressing table and a large wardrobe. There is a private bathroom with a bath or shower and a balcony and terrace. All rooms have been recently renovated and are now modern and spacious, with plenty of storage.

The Anfora Playa Hotel is family run and is a great choice for those looking for somewhere that has that great friendly atmosphere.
